VELO Nicotine Strengths Explained

VELO nicotine pouches are available in a range of nicotine strengths. Strength labelling is used to indicate the amount of nicotine contained in each pouch and to help distinguish between different products within the VELO range.

This guide explains how VELO nicotine strengths are labelled, what the dot system represents, and how strength information should be interpreted. It is intended for informational purposes only.

What Nicotine Strength Means in VELO Products

Nicotine strength refers to the amount of nicotine contained in a single pouch. In VELO products, strength information is provided to help differentiate between products, not to indicate suitability for any individual.

Strength labelling does not describe:

  • How a product may feel
  • How quickly nicotine is absorbed
  • How often a product should be used

It reflects nicotine content only.

How VELO Nicotine Strength Is Labelled

VELO uses two main strength indicators on its packaging:

1) A dot rating system
2) A numeric milligram (mg) value

These indicators are designed to work together to provide a clear, at-a-glance reference to nicotine content.

The VELO Dot Rating System

The dot system is a visual strength guide used across VELO nicotine pouch products. It shows relative nicotine strength within the VELO range.

  • Fewer dots indicate lower nicotine content
  • More dots indicate higher nicotine content


The dot system is specific to VELO products and should not be compared directly with dot or symbol systems used by other brands.

VELO Dot Ratings: Reference Overview

VELO products are typically labelled using the following dot scale:

  • ● — Lower nicotine content
  • ●● — Lower to moderate nicotine content
  • ●●● — Moderate nicotine content
  • ●●●● — Moderate to higher nicotine content
  • ●●●●● — Higher nicotine content
  • ●●●●●● — Highest nicotine content in the VELO range


This system provides a relative comparison within VELO products only.

Strength Labelling and Flavour

Nicotine strength and flavour are separate product characteristics.

The same flavour profile may be available in multiple nicotine strengths, and strength does not determine flavour intensity or taste profile. Likewise, flavour choice does not affect nicotine content.

More information on flavour categories is covered in our flavour guide.
