VELO Nicotine Pouches
VELO nicotine pouches are made by British American Tobacco (BAT), and if you used LYFT a few years back, you already know them: BAT moved its LYFT pouches over to the VELO name. We stock 41 VELO cans across 32 flavours, from nicotine-free ZERO and 4mg minis up to 17mg slims, so there is a sensible starting point whatever you use now.
Every pouch is white and tobacco-free, filled with plant fibre from pine and eucalyptus. Choose by flavour or by the mg on the can, and your order ships free next day anywhere in the UK.
About VELO
VELO belongs to British American Tobacco. BAT bought the Swedish pouch maker Winnington in 2017 and launched tobacco-free pouches in the UK under the LYFT brand shortly after. Those LYFT products were later folded into VELO, which is why a few of our product pages still carry old LYFT handles, and why Bright Spearmint mini was once sold as Easy Mint.
The cans we import are the Swedish-made version. The filling is plant fibre from Scandinavian pine and eucalyptus, with water, salt, xylitol and flavourings, so the pouch stays bright white. VELO pouches are soft, fairly moist and plant-based, so flavour comes through quickly once a pouch is under your upper lip, usually with a light tingle as the nicotine starts to work.
What sets VELO apart on our shelves is range. VELO is the biggest brand on our site by number of cans, and one of only a handful that also make a nicotine-free pouch. If you are still choosing between the two big names, our ZYN vs VELO comparison lays out the differences side by side.
VELO Slim, Mini, Shift and ZERO
VELO comes in four formats, and they feel quite different under the lip.
- Slim is the standard VELO pouch and most of the range: 20 pouches per can, about 14g to 14.7g net weight, in strengths from 6mg to 17mg.
- Mini is a smaller pouch in a smaller can (10g net). It has roughly the same moisture as the slim but sits lower and is harder to notice. We carry it at 4mg and 6mg.
- Shift is the newest format. It comes in a hexagonal can and uses a rounded pouch shape designed to sit more comfortably. The flavours lean on hot and cool sensations, such as Hot Grape and Cool Peppermint, all at 8mg.
- ZERO uses the same slim pouch and flavour system with no nicotine at all. It suits people who like the pouch habit but want some nicotine-free days.
VELO strengths
VELO marks strength with dots on the lid, from one to six, and prints the mg per pouch on the can too. The dots are a rough guide: three dots can be 8mg or 10mg depending on the flavour, so the mg figure is the one to trust. We stock every step from 0mg to 17mg. Our VELO strengths explained guide goes through the dot system in detail, and the nicotine pouch strength guide shows how VELO compares with other brands.

| 0mg (ZERO) | None | Slim | 4 |

Who is VELO for?
- First-time pouch users. The 4mg and 6mg minis are small, gentle and a good way to get used to the feel. Our guide on how to use nicotine pouches covers the basics.
- Flavour hunters. With over 30 flavours, including spicy Flame and Shift lines you will not find from most brands, VELO is the one to work through if you get bored easily.
- Regular users who want a stronger mint. Peppermint Storm and Freezing Peppermint at 14mg and 17mg give a firm hit without jumping to the extreme brands.
- Anyone who wants a nicotine-free option. ZERO keeps the same pouch and flavours with no nicotine.
Prefer a drier, more discreet pouch? Try ZYN. For a softer Swedish mint range, look at Nordic Spirit. If 17mg is no longer enough, Killa is the usual next step.

VELO FAQs
Is VELO the same as LYFT?
Yes, in effect. Both are British American Tobacco brands, and the LYFT pouches sold in the UK were moved over to the VELO name. Some flavours were renamed along the way; the old Easy Mint mini, for example, is now VELO mini Bright Spearmint.
Is VELO snus?
No. A lot of people search for VELO snus, but snus contains tobacco and VELO does not. VELO is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch made with plant fibre. Our snus vs nicotine pouches guide explains the difference.
What do the dots on a VELO can mean?
The dots show strength, from one dot (4mg) to six dots (17mg). Three dots can mean 8mg or 10mg depending on the flavour, so always check the mg printed on the can.
What is the strongest VELO you sell?
Our strongest VELO pouches are the 17mg six-dot cans: Peppermint Storm, Freezing Peppermint, Icy Berries, Purple Grape and Wintery Watermelon.
What is the difference between VELO Mini and VELO Slim?
The mini is a smaller pouch in a smaller can and comes in lower strengths (4mg and 6mg in our range). The slim is the standard VELO pouch, larger and available from 6mg up to 17mg.
Does VELO make a nicotine-free pouch?
Yes. VELO ZERO uses the same slim pouch with no nicotine. We list Wintery Watermelon, Bright Peppermint, Purple Grape and Tropical Mango ZERO.
Warning: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive substance. For adults 18+ only.
