What are the Best VELO Alternatives?

VELO is one of the most popular names in nicotine pouches for a reason, but plenty of lesser-known products could give the brand a run for its money. Whether you’re looking for an alternative because the product you want isn’t in stock or you just want to try something new, we’ve got you covered.

This guide starts by outlining what makes VELO pouches so special, before delving into alternatives for various flavor profiles.

What to Look For in a VELO Replacement

It’s no accident that VELO products are great — the pouches have been carefully formulated to ensure they’re just what people are looking for.

That can be explained through the following factors:

• Moisture contents. VELO pouches are moist, meaning they release contents and flavor fast and create a more intense experience than dry options.
• Strength. The pouches contain between 4mg and 17mg per pouch, meaning there’s something for everyone.
• Format. Pouches in the collection have a slim or mini format, both of which are the most popular options for pouch users since they slot so effortlessly into the mouth.
• Flavor. VELO pouches come in all kinds of weird and wonderful flavors, from pineapple to elderflower to cinnamon.

Bear in mind that the above only applies to European products, which are sold on Snusdirect.

In this guide, we’ll highlight products that match as many of the criteria above as possible. There’s no need to say goodbye forever. But why not try something new today?

Alternatives to Minty VELO Pouches

Impartial to a bit of peppermint? Sucker for spearmint? Whatever the case, we have some suitable alternatives below.

Alternatives to Peppermint Products

Peppermint is one of VELO’s most popular flavor profiles. In fact, it’s so popular that the collection contains multiple options!

Mighty Peppermint 17mg is a super-strong slim pouch. For lovers of these high strengths, we recommend the following alternatives:

• CAMO Peppermint Strong: Slim pouches with 12 mg of nicotine per pouch and a sharp peppermint flavor.
• Nico Lash Glacier X Mint UltraStrong Slim: These pouches also have a slim format and contain 12 mg of nicotine each. They contain menthol alongside peppermint for a true mint experience.
• ICE Reaper XL Super Strong. The ultimate minty experience, with 20mg of nicotine per pouch. ICE goes a step further than Mighty Peppermint in the intensity stakes, using large pouches that weigh 1g each and adding a hint of spice.

For those looking for alternatives to the less potent peppermint options, such as VELO Mighty Peppermint 14mg or 11mg, VELO Crispy Peppermint, or VELO Peppermint Storm, we suggest:

• 77 Fresh Mint Medium. The pouches contain 10mg of nicotine each, which is the same as VELO Crispy Peppermint Slim and slightly less than VELO Mighty Peppermint. The pouches are slim and somewhat moist.
• Lundgrens Rimfrost All White. These pouches combine herbal eucalyptus with garden mint for a cooling, fresh taste, offering a slightly different flavor to peppermint. They’re also full-sized and have 10mg of nicotine per pouch.

Alternatives to Spearmint Products

While some love the intensity and fieriness of peppermint, the sharpness of this mint isn’t for everyone. A common alternative is the gentler, sweeter taste of spearmint.

VELO offers both VELO Witty Spearmint Slim (6mg of nicotine per pouch), and VELO Spiffy Spearmint (4mg of nicotine per pouch).

While spearmint pouches tend to be less popular than their peppermint counterparts, they’re still popular enough to be offered by plenty of brands. A standout product is Übbs Spearmint Strong, nicotine pouches that contain 11mg of content each. The slim pouches are moist, just like VELO, so make for an ideal substitute.

Alternatives to Fruity VELO Pouches

VELO is well-known for offering countless fruity options. Below, we’ve highlighted alternatives to some of the most-loved options.

Alternatives to Lime Flame

It would be fair to assume Lime Flame is a more unique option since it fuses the citrus taste of lime with a dose of spice. But fortunately, it’s not so unique that there are no alternatives on the market.

The products below make for fantastic substitutes:

• Après No.9 Cactus Lime Extra Strong. These pouches may sound miles apart since they fuse lime with cactus instead of spice. But this fusion creates a doubly sour effect that also packs a punch. They also contain 8mg of nicotine each, just like Lime Flame.
• Kelly White Raspberry Lemon. Enjoy a sour lemon taste alongside hints of tart raspberry for a fruity taste that isn’t overly sweet. Pouches contain 5.5mg of nicotine each.

Alternatives to Orange Spark

Snusdirect sells a range of other citrus pouches that provide potential alternatives to products like Orange Spark.

One option is Helwit Orange. These pouches combine orange with a hint of mint, which creates a comparable sensation to the “tingling” effect of Orange Spark. Each pouch contains 4.5mg of nicotine.

Alternatives to Groovy Grape

VELO’s Groovy Grape is loved for its perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, and the pouches contain 10mg of nicotine each.

There’s no other pouch with a grape flavor with similar nicotine contents. However, for those who just can’t get enough of grapes, ICE Grape Super Strong is a potential alternative. It combines the juiciness of grapes with a dose of iciness, along with 15.5mg of nicotine per pouch — but bear in mind it’s one of the strongest we stock on Snusdirect, so only experienced pouch users should consider this one.

Alternatives to Breezy Mango

While Breezy Mango only has one fruit in its name, it isn’t all about mango. The product also uses the flavors of mandarin and passionfruit for a mixed tropical taste, along with 6mg of nicotine.

For those who want to take their exotic experience to the next level, consider on! Tropical Spice 6mg. It has a similar tropical taste profile, but combines this with chilli and other spices to create something a little different. Pouches contain 6 mg of nicotine each, just like Breezy Mango.
