Mastering the Art of Using Velo: Techniques for Optimal Pouch Use

in Velo

The Basics: Pop, Tuck, Feel 

Using VELO follows a simple three-step process:

  1. Pop: Open the can and take out one pouch 
  2. Tuck: Place the pouch between your upper lip and gum 
  3. Feel: Experience the flavor sensation 

While this process is straightforward, there's more to it than just the basic steps. The way you perform each action can influence your experience. When opening the can, a gentle twist is usually sufficient. Select a single pouch with dry fingers to prevent moisture transfer. 

When placing the VELO pouch, use your finger or tongue to position it comfortably under the upper lip and gum rather than forcing it into place. Proper placement of nicotine pouches is essential for optimal nicotine absorption. 

Understanding the Nicotine Sensation 

The initial sensation typically follows a pattern: a mild tingling sensation on the gums. This tingling sensation is completely normal and part of the VELO experience. The mild tingling sensation may vary based on VELO nicotine pouch strength and the pouch placement. 

If the sensation feels too intense at first, try these adjustments: 

  • Try a lower strength option, such as moving from 14mg to 10mg, 6mg or 4mg 
  •  Change the pouch placement 

Time Span of Usage 

VELO nicotine pouches are used by placing the pouch between the gum and the lip for up to 30 minutes. The experience typically changes gradually over this period, with both the flavor intensity and sensation slowly diminishing. 

You'll know it might be time to remove the pouch when you notice: 

  • Decreased tingling sensation in the mouth or gum  
  • Reduced flavor intensity as the flavor components are released 
  • The pouch feeling less firm as its contents are absorbed 

Common Mistakes to Avoid 

Being aware of common mistakes can help you have a better experience from the start. Many of these errors are natural assumptions that new users make before understanding how the product is designed to be used. 

Here are key mistakes to avoid: 

  • Chewing the pouch: VELO pouches are designed to sit still under your lip and they are not meant to be chewed or swallowed. 
  • Swallowing excess saliva: During initial use, your mouth may produce more saliva. While this typically subsides with regular use, it's better to spit during your first few uses of the VELO pouch if needed. 
  • Frequent repositioning: Moving the pouch too often can irritate your gum tissue and disrupt the gradual release of contents. Once placed, try to let it sit. 
  • Improper storage: Leaving the can open exposes remaining pouches to air, which can dry them out and affect their performance. 

Conclusion 

Using VELO nicotine pouches effectively is mostly about finding the right placement as per your comfort. With the guidance provided in this article, you should be able to enjoy a more consistent and satisfying nicotine and flavor experience.
