Velo, about 3 mg: taper schedule
Velo at about 3 mg per pouch comes in one format, plus, 20 to a can, so a can a day is about 60 mg of nicotine contained. The table is the whole 30-day linear step-down from a can a day; change the count in the calculator for yours.
Velo prints "approximately" next to every strength. So does this page: every figure here is about, including the ones in the table.

Nicotine contained (not absorbed) — the can's figure times the count, and the can says approximately.
The shape of it
Day one 19 pouches (about 57 mg contained), day fifteen 10 (about 30 mg), day 30 1 (about 3 mg), then zero. 300 pouches not bought, about 900 mg not contained.
Some anons drop to a lower strength first and taper the count from there; the dashboard plan takes a strength step-down on a date you pick. Which route is better for you is not something this page knows.
What it costs
No manufacturer publishes a price for Velo, and we will not print one we cannot source. Enter what you pay in the calculator; prices vary by state and tax. The per-pouch figure is the price divided by 20, and the yearly figure is the daily figure times 365 — the calculator does both and shows the week and the month in between.

The first weeks
What anons report, not medicine: the first two or three days are mostly restlessness and a mouth that wants something in it; by the end of the first week the cues are the habit, not the nicotine — coffee, the car, the desk; by day thirty the money has become visible and the pouch count is a number you check rather than a feeling you obey. Everyone slips at least once. A slip is a slip.
Questions anons ask
- How much nicotine is in a can of Velo about 3 mg?
- about 60 mg contained in the 20-count plus. Contained is what the can says; it is not a statement about absorption.
- Is about 3 mg a lot?
- It is about 3 mg per pouch. Whether that is a lot depends on how many you use a day, which is why the calculator asks. We do not rank strengths or make claims about effects.
- Where does the about 3 mg figure come from?
- Velo's own specification page, checked 2026-09-02, including the "approximately" it prints next to the number. It is named at the foot of this page, with the can count the table multiplies it by. No figure here comes from a retailer listing.
- Can I change the count?
- Yes. The calculator at the top of the page rebuilds the schedule for any count from one to sixty a day and any length from one day to a year.
The calculator is the free sample. The dashboard is the habit.

A manufacturer page is printed rather than linked: we do not link to nicotine products. Copy the address if you want to check a number against the can. Anything not on a brand's own site is a link. A retailer listing is never a source here — retailers list strengths the manufacturer does not sell.
