My wife wanted me to try to quit so she bought me Velo, which are nicotine pouches without the tobacco. I haven’t had a dip
Of tobacco in 6 days and my wife is absolutely pumped I quit dipping.

I also quit a quarter century of dipping using Velo. Haven't dipped in over a year.

Nicotine pouches are one of the better inventions of this century.

Never dipped except on airplanes, but I quit smoking 1-2 packs a day after 19 years just around 2 years ago.

Wait until you start sleeping with one in. Love Velo Plus Peppermint 6mg. Wawa has them 2 for $2.99 in Fort Lauderdale.

Also, Nicokick.com has them in bulk if delivery is allowed to your state.

Gas stations by us have that $2.99 deal. I’ve been stockpiling because you know the price will change.

I need to check this out. Velo went from 2.60 to 6.60 by me, seemingly overnight. Happens so often on products that I start buying that I'm becoming a simulation theorist.

Zyn just alerted me to this. Hell of a lot better than stopping at the gas station every day.

Additionally, I don't know how the rewards are for the other products, but you get the equivalent of ~0.40 back on each can of Zyn if you crunch the numbers for points earned against the gift card offerings.

I've received a metal Zyn can, a Lodge skillet, and a set of Global knives (which are fantastic) so far.

I'm 53. Been dipping since 14.

Switched from Red Seal over to tobaccoless Black Buffalo a couple of years ago. Couldn't be happier.

Nice to finally have good replacements for tobacco.

Nicotine in and of itself is a bit of a miracle drug, come to find out.

My favorite brand is Lucy. I tried the 6mg Zyn, I tried Velo, I tried some other ones, but Lucy is the best. I think they come in 4mg, 8mg, and 12mg versions. I wish someone would come out with one that tastes like unflavored tobacco, but most of the mint type flavors are fine. Apple Ice flavor is what I get with Lucy. Mango is decent too, but I don't like all the cinnamon and other flavors.

Spearmint or wintergreen for me.

I've tried all the faggy flavors and they just don't cut it.

Damn baw you really leave them in your mouth for hours? I use On! pouches and I feel like after about 20- 30 minutes the nicotine is all gone.


eta: I also quit smoking after 20 years using the pouches and I think they are awesome. I started on the 8mg and after about 6 months I switched to the 4mg. I tried going down to 2mg but that wasn't enough so I just decided to stay on the 4mg. They are so discrete and inexpensive that I don't see a need to quit.

Made the switch from Zyn to Velo. The Zyn turns to mush after 10 min.
