Velo, about 4 mg: taper schedule
Velo sells about 4 mg in two formats: the can, 20 to a can (about 80 mg contained in a full one) and the tin, 15 to a tin (about 60 mg contained in a full one). The table below steps down from a can a day, 20 pouches; 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 76 mg contained), day fifteen 10 (about 40 mg), day 30 1 (about 4 mg), then zero. 300 pouches not bought, about 1200 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.
Two formats, one strength
Which one you buy changes the money, not the schedule: a pouch is a pouch, and the per-pouch cost is the price divided by 20 for can or 15 for tin. The cost calculator on this page asks which format before it computes anything, because the answer differs.
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 for can or 15 for tin, and the yearly figure is the daily figure times 365 — the calculator does both and shows the week and the month in between. It asks which format you buy first, because a can of Velo is 20 or 15 pouches depending on the line and the same shelf price is a different price per pouch.

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 4 mg?
- about 80 mg contained in the 20-count can and about 60 mg contained in the 15-count tin. Contained is what the can says; it is not a statement about absorption.
- Is about 4 mg a lot?
- It is about 4 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.
- 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.
