What Is Snus?
If you have searched “what is snus” or “snus Denmark”, you may have noticed that the term is used for several different types of oral nicotine products.
Traditional snus is a moist oral tobacco product that is placed underneath the upper lip. Modern nicotine pouches are used in a very similar way, but they do not contain tobacco.
Because of the similar format, many people simply refer to nicotine pouches as “snus” when searching online. This is why terms such as VELO snus and snus shop are commonly searched by people who are actually looking for modern nicotine pouches.
The easiest way to remember the difference is:
- Traditional snus contains tobacco.
- Nicotine pouches contain nicotine but no tobacco.
- Both are designed to be placed under the lip.
For most people searching online today, the important thing is finding a nicotine pouch that matches their preferred flavour, strength and pouch format.
What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free pouches designed to sit comfortably between the upper lip and gum.
They contain nicotine together with ingredients such as plant-based fibres, flavourings and sweeteners. There is no need to burn anything, and the pouch does not produce smoke or vapour.
One of the biggest reasons nicotine pouches have become so popular is the amount of choice available.
You can find:
- Different nicotine strengths
- Small and slim pouch formats
- Refreshing mint flavours
- Strong cooling and menthol profiles
- Berry and fruit flavours
- Citrus and tropical flavours
- Sweet and unusual flavour combinations
If you already know what type you like, you can skip straight to the SnusCore nicotine pouch collection and browse the available options.
Popular Snus & Nicotine Pouch Brands
When shopping for nicotine pouches, the brand can make a big difference. Different brands tend to focus on different flavour profiles, pouch sizes and nicotine strengths.
Some of the names most commonly searched by consumers include VELO, as well as a growing number of other nicotine pouch brands available through specialist online stores.
Rather than choosing a product simply because it says “strong” or “extra strong”, it is worth checking the actual nicotine content per pouch and considering the flavour and pouch size as well.
At SnusCore, you can compare a broad selection of nicotine pouches in one place.

VELO Snus & Nicotine Pouches
VELO is one of the most recognisable names in the modern nicotine pouch category, which is why VELO snus is such a common search term.
Technically, VELO products are nicotine pouches rather than traditional tobacco snus. They are designed to be placed under the upper lip and are available in different flavours and strengths.
VELO is particularly well known for its fresh and cooling flavour profiles. Depending on the product, you can find options ranging from mint and menthol to fruit-inspired combinations.
If VELO is your preferred brand, you can explore the available products in our dedicated VELO collection.
Popular Nicotine Pouch Flavours
Not sure which flavour to choose? Your preferred flavour can completely change the experience, so it is worth exploring a few different profiles.
Mint & Menthol
Mint remains one of the most popular choices for nicotine pouch users. Mint, peppermint, spearmint and menthol varieties offer a fresh and cooling profile.
If you normally choose mint products, our nicotine pouch collection is a good place to compare different cooling options.
Berry Flavours
Berry flavours are a popular alternative for people who want something sweeter. Blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and mixed berry profiles are commonly available.
Fruit Flavours
Fruit-inspired pouches can range from watermelon and mango to grape and tropical combinations. These are a good option if you prefer a sweeter flavour rather than a traditional mint profile.
Citrus & Fresh Flavours
Lemon, lime and other citrus profiles offer a sharper and more refreshing alternative to sweeter fruit flavours.
The easiest way to find your favourite is simply to explore different flavour categories and try products from different brands.
Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength
One of the most important things to consider when choosing nicotine pouches is strength.
Nicotine strength can be displayed in several ways, including:
- mg of nicotine per pouch
- mg of nicotine per gram
- Strength indicators or dots
- Labels such as Mild, Strong or Extra Strong
The most useful number for comparing products is usually the mg of nicotine per pouch.
If you already use nicotine, choose a strength that matches your normal tolerance. A stronger pouch is not automatically a better pouch, and people who are not accustomed to nicotine should avoid high-strength products.
You can learn more about what determines pouch strength in our detailed nicotine pouch strength guide.

How to Use Nicotine Pouches
Using a nicotine pouch is simple.
- Take one pouch from the can.
- Place it between your upper lip and gum.
- Leave it comfortably positioned.
- Allow the flavour and nicotine to release gradually.
- Remove the pouch after use and dispose of it.
Many people keep a pouch under the lip for around 20–45 minutes, although the ideal time depends on the product and personal preference.
You should not chew or swallow the pouch.
