The Velo Strength Dot System Explained

If you have picked up a can of Velo, you will have noticed a row of dots on the front - somewhere between 3 and 6 filled in. This is Velo's own strength indicator system, and it is worth understanding before you buy.
What the dots mean
Velo uses a simple filled-dot scale on its packaging to show relative nicotine strength at a glance, without needing to read the small print on the side of the can. More filled dots means a stronger pouch.
3-4 dots - lighter strengths, typically 6mg-10mg per pouch
5 dots - medium-strong, typically 14mg per pouch
6 dots - Velo's strongest tier, 17mg per pouch
Why this matters when you are choosing a flavour
Two cans can look identical in every way except the dot count and the mg figure printed on the tin - and that difference genuinely changes the experience. A 10mg Velo Watermelon Ice and a 17mg Velo Icy Berries are not simply "the same but stronger" - the higher strength pouches also tend to deliver a faster, more noticeable initial hit.
Matching dots to where you are starting from
New to nicotine pouches: start at 3-4 dots (Velo Watermelon Ice, Velo Cherry Ice, Velo Tropical Mango)
Regular user, want something more noticeable: 5 dots (Velo Peppermint Storm, Velo Purple Grape, Velo Mango Flame)
Experienced user, want Velo's maximum: 6 dots (Velo Freezing Peppermint, Velo Icy Berries)
Beyond the dot scale
Once you are consistently reaching for 6-dot Velo pouches and want more, that is usually the sign to look at Killa or Pablo, both of which go considerably further in strength than Velo's ceiling.
