How long do nicotine pouches last?

When stored correctly, nicotine pouches can last quite a while. VELO pouches are good for around a year from the date they’re made. You’ll find the manufacture date printed clearly on the bottom of each can, so you always know what you’re using.

Storage matters. To keep your pouches in the best condition, we recommend keeping them in their original container, in a cool, dry place.

Wondering how long a pouch lasts once it’s in use? VELO pouches release nicotine and flavour for up to 30 minutes. After that, it’s time to remove and bin it.

 

How do you keep VELO pouches fresh after opening?

To get the most out of your VELO pouches, it’s important to store them properly—even after opening. Exposure to heat or moisture can affect their quality. Here’s how to keep them fresh:

Keep them away from heat and moisture

Avoid storing your pouches in direct sunlight or warm, damp places. High temperatures and humidity can impact the nicotine, flavour, and moisture levels inside the pouch—so keeping them cool and dry is key to a consistent experience.

Use the original packaging

VELO cans are designed to keep your pouches fresh. Store unused pouches in their original container and only take one out when you’re ready to use it. Always close the lid tightly after each use.

 

Store them in the fridge

Looking for the best place to store your pouches at home? The fridge is a great option. It keeps them cool and protected from heat and light, helping maintain freshness for longer.

 

Remove after 30 minutes

Each VELO pouch is designed to deliver nicotine and flavour for up to 30 minutes. After that, remove the pouch and dispose of it in the bin.

 

Can you reuse nicotine pouches?

No - VELO pouches are single-use only. After 30 minutes, most of the nicotine and flavour has been released. Reusing them isn’t recommended, as the experience won’t be the same.
