Buy VELO Nicotine Pouches in New Zealand

VELO is the world's best-selling nicotine pouch brand, manufactured by BAT (British American Tobacco) and available in New Zealand through Snusdaddy. With 98 active varieties ranging from 4mg/pouch to 16.8mg/pouch, including slim and mini formats, zero-nicotine options, and the innovative Shift dual-flavour range, VELO offers more variety than any other single brand we stock. All VELO products are 100% tobacco-free and legal to import into New Zealand for personal use under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990.

"The Tropical Mango is my go-to. Fast delivery to Christchurch every time." – Jamie K., verified Snusdaddy customer, Christchurch.

Important: VELO nicotine pouches contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance. Not recommended for non-nicotine users, people under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with cardiovascular conditions. Always use responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets.

What Makes VELO Different – Format, Ingredients and Technology

Every VELO pouch is built around a slim, all-white format that sits discreetly under the upper lip without staining teeth. The pouch material uses a plant-fibre blend with food-grade humectants to maintain moisture throughout use – which is why VELO pouches feel softer and release flavour more gradually than some drier formats. Nicotine is delivered as nicotine bitartrate, the same pharmaceutical-grade salt used in nicotine replacement therapies, providing a smooth onset rather than the sharp spike associated with cigarettes.

One of VELO's distinguishing features across its range is layered flavour architecture: top notes that activate immediately, a sustained middle phase, and a milder finish that tapers rather than abruptly stopping. Our team has found this makes VELO pouches comfortable for the full 30–45 minute session, particularly in the peppermint and mango varieties.

VELO Flavour Categories – What's in the Range

With 98 active varieties, VELO's range is the broadest of any single brand we carry. The majority of VELO's range sits in the strong category (8–11mg/pouch) — making it ideal for experienced users and heavy ex-smokers. Here's how it breaks down:

Mint and Cooling (39 varieties) – Staff Picks

Mint is VELO's core category and where the brand consistently outperforms competitors. The range spans gentle spearmint through to intense freeze-format peppermint.

• VELO Crispy Peppermint (9.8mg/pouch) – Our most-sold VELO product in New Zealand. Our team found the flavour profile sharper and more distinct than standard peppermint pouches – the "crispy" descriptor is accurate. Clean, immediate freshness that holds for the full session. ⭐ Staff pick for mint lovers.
• VELO Bright Peppermint (8mg/pouch) – Fuller, rounder peppermint compared to Crispy. Less piercing, more lasting. Our team recommends this for users who find Crispy Peppermint slightly too sharp.
• VELO Freezing Peppermint (10.9mg/pouch) – The most intense cooling in VELO's freeze range. Ice-level freshness at strong strength – ideal for users who want the freeze effect with substantial nicotine delivery.
• VELO Frosty Grapefruit Strong (10mg/pouch) – Citrus-forward cooling at strong strength. Our team's pick for ex-smokers of 20+ cigarettes daily who want something beyond straight mint. The grapefruit cuts through the cooling nicely. ⭐ Staff pick for heavy ex-smokers.
• VELO Peppermint Storm (10.9mg/pouch) – Bold, storm-intensity peppermint at strong strength. Our team found it delivers more punch than Bright Peppermint with higher nicotine – a good option for users who want strong impact in both flavour and strength.

Fruit (23 varieties) – Staff Picks

VELO's fruit range is one of the most developed in the nicotine pouch market, covering tropical, berry, and citrus profiles.

• VELO Tropical Mango (6mg/pouch) – Our top-selling fruit VELO for New Zealand. Authentic mango sweetness without being cloying at regular strength. Our team found it particularly popular with Kiwis transitioning from menthol cigarettes who want something different. ⭐ Staff pick for fruit beginners.
• VELO Mango Flame (10.2mg/pouch) – Mango with a warm, slightly spiced twist at strong strength. Less sweet than Tropical Mango – good for those who want fruit flavour with substantial nicotine delivery.
• VELO Tropical Mango Extra Strong (14mg/pouch) – The strongest mango variant in VELO's range. Full tropical mango profile at extra-strong strength – for experienced users only.
• VELO Wintery Watermelon (10mg/pouch) – Watermelon with a subtle cooling finish at strong strength. Our team found this one of the most distinctive flavours in the range – genuinely different from anything in the mint category.
• VELO Blue Raspberry (8mg/pouch) – Bold, candy-style raspberry at strong strength. More intense and sweet than the berry varieties. Popular with users new to pouches who want more nicotine than beginner products.

Unique and Specialty (37 varieties)

Where VELO truly differentiates itself is in its specialty range – flavours with no direct equivalent in competing brands:

• VELO Sweet Blackcurrant (8mg/pouch) – Deep, jammy blackcurrant flavour at strong strength. A popular choice for Kiwis who prefer dark fruit over tropical or citrus profiles.
• VELO Shift range (8–10mg/pouch) – Dual-flavour pouches that change character mid-use. Shift Cool Peppermint starts cool and warms; Shift Hot Spearmint starts warm and cools. Our team found the transition genuinely noticeable at around the 15-minute mark.

Pro tip – VELO Shift: Place the pouch as normal and note the initial flavour. At around the 10–15 minute mark, the second flavour compound activates. The "Hot" variants work particularly well after meals – the warm spice note settles the palate before transitioning to a clean cool finish. If you find single-flavour pouches boring over a long session, Shift is the most interesting format in the VELO range. Start with Shift Cool Peppermint (8mg/pouch) as your entry point.

• VELO Elderflower Spritz (10mg/pouch) – Delicate floral and citrus profile at strong strength. Our team recommends this as an after-meal option for users who find mint too intense post-food.
• VELO McLaren Sweet Papaya Limited Edition (8mg/pouch) – Limited-edition collaboration with a sweet, tropical papaya profile at strong strength. Stock is limited – a good pick for collectors and those who enjoy rare additions to the range.

Zero-Nicotine VELO (10 varieties)

VELO's zero-nicotine range uses identical pouch format and flavour profiles to the standard range, with nicotine removed. Browse our full nicotine-free pouches selection for all available zero options.

VELO Nicotine Strengths – Which Is Right for You?

Unlike brands with broad strength ranges, VELO is concentrated in the strong category (8–11mg/pouch), with regular and extra-strong available in select flavours. This makes VELO ideal for experienced users and heavy ex-smokers.

Expert tip: VELO is designed for experienced users – the majority of the range is 8mg/pouch or higher. If you're new to nicotine pouches, start with VELO Tropical Mango (6mg/pouch) or another regular-strength variety before moving to the strong range. VELO's moisture level and flavour release make even the 8–10mg/pouch products quite substantial for beginners.

VELO Nicotine Pouches NZ – FAQs

How does VELO compare to ZYN?

Both are slim, all-white tobacco-free nicotine pouches, but they differ in feel, flavour delivery, and strength focus. VELO pouches are slightly moister, which means faster flavour onset and a softer feel under the lip. ZYN pouches are drier, which some users prefer for less drip. In terms of range, VELO offers considerably more flavour variety (98 varieties vs ZYN's 78), and VELO focuses heavily on the strong category (8–11mg/pouch), while ZYN offers more regular-strength options. Our team recommends trying both in a similar flavour – Crispy Peppermint (9.8mg/pouch) for VELO and Cool Mint Extra Strong (16mg/pouch) for ZYN – to find your preferred format.

What are VELO's most popular flavours in New Zealand?

Based on our NZ sales data, Crispy Peppermint (9.8mg/pouch), Tropical Mango (6mg/pouch), and Frosty Grapefruit Strong (10mg/pouch) consistently rank among our top VELO sellers for New Zealand customers. Bright Peppermint (8mg/pouch) and Mango Flame (10.2mg/pouch) are close behind. Among the specialty range, Shift Cool Peppermint (8mg/pouch) and Sweet Blackcurrant (8mg/pouch) have built strong followings since their introduction.

What is VELO Shift?

VELO Shift is a dual-flavour technology that changes the flavour profile mid-use, typically around the 15-minute mark. The "Hot" variants (Hot Spearmint, Hot Dragon Fruit, Hot Grape, Hot Peach) start with a warm, spiced note that transitions to a cooler finish. Shift Cool Peppermint does the reverse. Our team found the transition genuinely noticeable and the concept popular with users who find single-note flavours monotonous over a long session. All Shift varieties are strong strength (8–10mg/pouch).

How do I read the best-before date on VELO cans?

VELO uses the European date format: DD/MM/YYYY. A can marked "08/11/2026" expires on the 8th of November 2026 – not the 11th of August. Unopened cans stored in a cool, dry place maintain full freshness for 12–18 months from production. Once opened, store in the fridge to preserve moisture and flavour.

Are VELO zero-nicotine pouches identical to regular VELO?

Yes, in every way except nicotine content. The pouch format, moisture level, flavour compounds, and size are identical to the standard range. Zero options are available in Cool Storm, Tropic Breeze, Ice Cool, Breezy Mango, Crispy Peppermint, Bright Peppermint, Purple Grape, Wintery Watermelon, Tropical Mango, and Mighty Peppermint. Browse all nicotine-free options.

Can I mix VELO flavours in a bulk order?

Yes. Bulk discounts apply to your total order quantity regardless of which varieties you choose. 100 cans of mixed VELO flavours qualifies for 16% off. There's no requirement to order multiples of the same product.

How long does VELO delivery to New Zealand take?

UPS Express and UPS Saver typically deliver in 5–8 working days to New Zealand. PostNord standard takes 10–15 working days. All options include tracking. Rural and South Island addresses may take 1–2 additional days via NZ Post for final delivery.

Nicotine is an addictive substance. VELO products are intended for adult nicotine users only. Must be 18+ to purchase. Not for sale to minors.
