STARTING WITH VELO: A GUIDE FOR NICOTINE USERS MAKING THE SWITCH

SO YOU'VE DECIDED to try VELO. You're no stranger to nicotine but pouches are a different experience. If you're used to cigarettes, vapes, or other nicotine products, you probably have questions about how VELO compares. Let's break it down, simple and straight. 

FIRST THINGS FIRST: WHAT IS A NICOTINE POUCH? 

A VELO pouch is a small, tobacco-free* pouch that delivers nicotine. No smoke**. No smell*. You place it between your lip and gum, and that's pretty much it. The nicotine gets absorbed through your gum, giving you the satisfaction you're looking for without the mess. 

Think of it as nicotine delivery, simplified. 

IS 14MG RIGHT FOR BEGINNERS? 

Here's the honest answer: it depends. 

14mg is a medium-to-strong strength. If you're coming from regular smoking or other nicotine products, 14mg might feel just right. But if you're  used to lighter products, starting with 6mg or 10mg makes more sense. 

Know your level. Be honest with yourself about your nicotine tolerance. There's no prize for going too strong too fast. 

If you're unsure, start lower and work your way up. You can always increase strength later, but you can't un-use a pouch that's too strong for you. 

HOW TO USE VELO (THE ACTUAL STEPS) 

1. Open the can. Pull out one pouch.
2. Place it under your upper lip. Between your gum and lip, slightly to the side works best.
3. Leave it there. Keep it in for 20-30 minutes, but you can remove it anytime.
4. Feel the tingle. You'll notice a slight tingling sensation at first. That's normal. It means the pouch is working.
5. Remove and dispose. When you're done, take it out and throw it away. Use the compartment at the top of the can to store used pouches until you find a bin. 

That's it. No lighter. No ashtray. No complications. 

WHAT TO EXPECT 

The First Few Minutes: 

You'll feel a tingling or slight burning sensation where the pouch sits. Don't panic, it's completely normal. Your mouth is just getting used to it. This usually fades within a few minutes. 

The Nicotine Hit: 

Within a few minutes, you'll start feeling the nicotine effect. With 14mg, it's noticeable. Not overwhelming, but definitely there. 

How Long It Lasts: 

The effect typically lasts 20-45 minutes depending on how long you keep the pouch in and your personal tolerance. 

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIMERS 

Start Slow: Don't use multiple pouches back-to-back on day one. Give your body time to adjust. 

Stay Hydrated 

Find Your Spot: Try different positions under your lip to see what feels most comfortable. 

Don't Chew or Swallow: The pouch stays in place. You're not supposed to chew it like gum or swallow it. 

Listen to Your Body 

THE BOTTOM LINE 

VELO pouches are straightforward once you get the hang of them. Starting with 14mg can work if you know your tolerance, but there's zero shame in starting lighter and building up. 

The goal isn't to prove anything. The goal is to find what works for you. 

Ready to start? Pick your strength. Follow the steps. See how it feels.
