Many of our customers ask about Velo's nicotine strength. Especially after Velo have launched their Sensation series (all with 6 grades) So we thought that it would be good with a short article that explains Velos gradings.
All manufacturers indicate the nicotine strength in at least four steps - from low to extra strong nicotine content. Many brands, such as Volt and Loop, have added a fifth step Here at Nico&Pouch we call the fifth step for Super Strong. But Velo has gone one step further and grades their pouches on a six-point scale. At present, only their Freeze series uses the sixth step - Velo Freeze Max.
Velo strengths on the new packaging
On the newly designed (2024) packs, the six-point scale is always visible. This has led to some confusion. Can Velo's grading still be compared to the compatitors? Do the six levels mean that weak has become weaker, or is regular still regular? The answer is yes on both questions. Velo's strengths are still completely comparable to other brands. That is, Low is still Low and regular is still regular. The only thing that has changed is that they now leave room for something we could call hyper strong, or max strong pouches. As mentioned, only the Freeze series use the 6th step today, but who knows, maybe we will see more really strong pouches from Velo in 2024?
General nicotine pouch strength gradation
The gradation system for most brands typically ranges from low to extra strong. Below we have put together a breakdown of the most common strengths and how much nicotine strength they usually contain.
1. Low Strength
Low strength nicotine pouches are for new users or those who prefer a milder nicotine experience. These pouches usually contain a minimal amount of nicotine, often around 2-4 mg per pouch. They are ideal for people looking to reduce their nicotine consumption or who are sensitive to nicotine’s effects. See all our Low strength nicotine pouches
