Two top players head-to-head:
Zyn vs Velo

Zyn and Velo are two of the most popular brands of nicotine pouches on the market. Both companies produce top-quality nicotine pouches, using the highest quality nicotine from tobacco leaves. Where these two brands differ most is in their flavour combinations. Let’s take a look at their similarities and differences.

If you take a can from each brand and look at the ingredients on the label, you will notice that Zyn ingredients are almost identical to Velo ingredients. Both companies use microcrystalline cellulose as a plant-based filler and a pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salt from the tobacco plant. Additionally, both Velo and Zyn contain flavourings, sweeteners, Ph regulators, stabilisers, and water - all standard ingredients for good quality nicotine pouches.

When it comes to flavours, all brands know they must provide the classic snus flavours to keep their fans happy. Virtually all nicotine producers have their own range of mint flavours, including Zyn and Velo.

Although you may certainly prefer one mint flavour over another, where the brands really get to stand out is with their creative flavours. Offering a new and exciting flavour has become a key competitive factor between companies producing all-white nicotine pouches and snus.

The two companies have taken very different approaches when it comes to creative flavours. While Velo seems to play it safe with simple fruity flavours, Zyn goes wild on experimenting with exotic combinations.

Some of the most exciting Zyn flavours are:

• Ginger & Blood Orange


• Bellini (peach and prosecco)


• Lemon Spritz (grapefruit, peach, lemon and rosewater)


• Espressino (coffee, nougat, vanilla, chocolate)

Some of the most exciting Velo flavours are:

• Ruby Berry (strawberry)


• Tropic Breeze (mandarin, passion fruit and mango)


• Royal Violet (red grape)
