How Vape, THP & MO Devices Deliver Nicotine Differently

The Three Main Categories 

Vaping Devices: Liquid to Vapor 

Vaping devices heat a liquid containing nicotine, creating vapor that users inhale. The heating process transforms the liquid into an aerosol through electronic heating elements. 

Tobacco Heating Products (THP): Controlled Heat Application 

THP devices heat specially designed tobacco sticks at lower temperatures than traditional combustion. These products apply controlled heat, typically around 350°C, to tobacco material without burning it completely. This process creates an aerosol containing nicotine from the heated tobacco. 

Modern Oral (MO) Products: No Heat Require

Modern oral products take a completely different approach. These tobacco-free nicotine pouches work without any heating mechanism. Nicotine pouches contain high quality ingredients including water, plant-based fibres, flavoring, sweetener, and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine. 

How Each Method Works 

Vaping Process The device activates when you inhale or press a button. The heating coil warms the e-liquid, turning it into vapor. Users inhale this vapor through the mouthpiece, and nicotine enters the bloodstream through the lungs. 

THP Process When activated, the device heats the tobacco stick to a specific temperature. This creates vapor from the tobacco without full combustion. The user inhales this aerosol, which contains nicotine extracted from the heated tobacco. 

Modern Oral Process Nicotine pouches work through a simple placement method. You place the pouch between your gum and lip for 5 to 30 minutes. During use, you might feel a slight tingling sensation - this is just the nicotine taking effect. The nicotine is absorbed through the oral tissues directly into the bloodstream. 

Temperature Differences Matter 

The temperature at which nicotine is delivered varies significantly: 

• Vaping devices: 200-300°C 
• THP devices: Around 350°C 
• Modern oral products: Body temperature (37°C) 

These temperature differences affect the user experience and how quickly nicotine is delivered. 

VELO: The No-Heat Option 

VELO represents the modern oral category in the UAE market. Since there's no combustion or heating involved, VELO produces No smoke. No smoke smell* during use. This makes it different from heated alternatives. 

VELO Range in UAE 

The UAE market offers VELO in different strength levels: 

Mellow Range (4mg-6mg): Features mini pouches, ideal for those new to nicotine pouches or preferring a smaller pouch size. 

Original Range (10mg): The core VELO experience with a balanced nicotine level and wide variety of flavours. 

Intense Range (14mg): The strongest nicotine level available, designed for more experienced users. 

How VELO Works 

The process is straightforward: pop, tuck, and feel**. Place the pouch between your gum and lip, and the nicotine is absorbed through your oral tissues. No buttons, no charging, no heating elements required. 

Choosing What Works for You 

Each nicotine delivery method offers different experiences: 

Consider Your Preferences 

• Do you prefer inhaling vapor or a discrete oral option? 
• Are you comfortable with electronic devices that require charging? 
• Do you want something that works without any preparation time? 

Usage Situations Different methods suit different situations. Some people prefer the ritual of using a device, while others want something simple that doesn't require maintenance or charging. 

Making an Informed Choice 

Understanding these differences helps you choose based on your personal preferences and lifestyle needs. Each method has been developed to provide nicotine in distinct ways, and what works best varies from person to person. 

Whether you're considering vaping devices, tobacco heating products, or modern oral options like VELO, the key is understanding how each works and what fits your individual preferences. 

Important Considerations 

Remember that all nicotine products are intended for adult use only. If you don't currently use nicotine, don't start. These products are not risk-free and contain nicotine, which is addictive. 

For those already using nicotine who want to explore different delivery methods, understanding these differences can help guide your decision-making process.
