VELO Nicotine Pouches

Q: How do you open a VELO can?

VELO uses a simple twist-to-open lid. Hold the bottom of the can and twist the top section, it clicks open. The top compartment of the lid has a small slot for used pouches so you can dispose of them properly later. No pulling, no peeling, no mess.

Q: How many pouches are in a VELO can?

A standard VELO Slim can contains 20 pouches. VELO Mini cans also contain 20 pouches. Bundle packs (like the 10-pack) give you 200 pouches total.

Q: What is the difference between VELO and LYFT?

They're the same product. LYFT was rebranded to VELO in 2022 as part of BAT's decision to unify their global nicotine pouch range under one name. The pouches, flavours, and strengths are identical, only the branding changed. If you were a LYFT user, your favourite flavour still exists under the VELO name.

About VELO

VELO is made by British American Tobacco (BAT), one of the world's largest tobacco companies, but there's no tobacco in these pouches. Originally launched in the UK as LYFT, the brand was rebranded to VELO in 2022 to align with BAT's global nicotine pouch range. Every VELO pouch uses pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, plant-based fibres, and food-grade flavourings. No tobacco leaf, no smoke, no spit.

What sets VELO apart from other brands is consistency. The nicotine delivery is smooth and predictable, the flavours are clean and distinct, and the pouches themselves are slim enough to sit comfortably under your lip without anyone noticing. It's why VELO has become the go-to brand for people switching from cigarettes or vaping, and why it's the most-requested brand at Nic Pouches.

VELO Mini vs VELO Slim

VELO comes in two pouch formats, and the difference matters more than most people expect.

VELO Slim pouches are the standard size, they're what most people start with. They sit flat under your upper lip, deliver a full flavour release, and last a solid 20–30 minutes. If you're coming from cigarettes or vaping and want something that feels substantial, Slim is where to start.

VELO Mini pouches are smaller and lighter. They're designed for maximum discretion genuinely invisible under the lip. The trade-off is a slightly softer nicotine delivery and shorter flavour duration compared to Slim. If you're using pouches at work, on a commute, or in situations where you want zero visibility, Mini is the better choice. Mini pouches are also available in lower strengths (4mg and 6mg), making them a good entry point for complete beginners.

VELO Strengths

VELO pouches range from 4mg (Normal) up to 17mg (Extra Strong), using a dot system on the can to indicate intensity. Whether you're after something gentle for your first pouch or full-strength for an experienced kick, there's a VELO for it. For a full breakdown of what each strength level feels like and how to choose, see our nicotine pouch strength guide.

VELO Flavours

The current UK range includes 15 flavours spanning mint, fruit, citrus, and berry, from the ice-cold hit of Freezing Peppermint to the tropical sweetness of Mango Flame. VELO's Flame series is worth noting — these use a warming sensation instead of the usual cooling effect, which is something genuinely different in the market. For help choosing between them, check our nicotine pouch flavour guide.

VELO Nicotine Pouches FAQ's

Do VELO nicotine pouches expire?

Yes. Every VELO can has a best-before date printed on the bottom. Pouches are typically good for around 12 months from manufacture. After that, the flavour fades and the nicotine delivery weakens, but they don't become harmful. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for the best shelf life.

Who owns VELO?

VELO is owned by British American Tobacco (BAT), one of the world's largest tobacco and nicotine companies. BAT also produces the LYFT brand (VELO's predecessor in the UK) and EPOK. Despite being made by a tobacco company, VELO pouches contain zero tobacco they use pharmaceutical-grade nicotine extracted and purified separately.

How do you open a VELO can?

VELO uses a simple twist-to-open lid. Hold the bottom of the can and twist the top section, it clicks open. The top compartment of the lid has a small slot for used pouches so you can dispose of them properly later. No pulling, no peeling, no mess.

How many pouches are in a VELO can?

A standard VELO Slim can contains 20 pouches. VELO Mini cans also contain 20 pouches. Bundle packs (like the 10-pack) give you 200 pouches total.

What is the difference between VELO and LYFT?

They're the same product. LYFT was rebranded to VELO in 2022 as part of BAT's decision to unify their global nicotine pouch range under one name. The pouches, flavours, and strengths are identical, only the branding changed. If you were a LYFT user, your favourite flavour still exists under the VELO name.
