Velo changes names and design

If you have been following the development of Velo’s tobacco-free nicotine pouches, you probably already know that the company is no stranger to name changes. Since the start of Epok in 2014, they have switched to Lyft and as late as 2022 it was time again, this time to Velo. This time it is the product line that is facing changes.

The manufacturer British American Tobacco (BAT) has announced that it will update the names and design of large parts of its range at the start of 2024. The reason for this is to give each product a more distinct character and flavor profile.

New names - Same flavors

However there is no reason to worry that your favorite flavors will disappear from the range. The changes will only apply to the names of the products and the design of the cans. The range of interesting flavor combinations that we are used to see from Velo will remain the same.

In order to ease the transition, Velo has now added an interesting feature to six of their most popular flavors. By removing the standard patch on the top of the box, the upcoming design on the box is made visible.

19 new names

In total, there are 19 products that are now undergoing an update of both name and design, you can find the full list below!

Scooper Energy – An energetic newcomer that is 100% free from tobacco, nicotine and sugar

Get your kicks in a new, exciting and fresh way with Scooper Energy! A modern brand from the German manufacturer Scooper energy GmbH that goes all-in on flavor and energy, and who does that brilliantly without using any tobacco, nicotine nor sugar. How is that even possible you might wonder? It’s achieved by packing the portions to the brim with caffeine and vitamin B5 that together provide an uplifting and stimulating effect!

The idea that became Scooper Energy

Scooper’s journey started on a road trip between Düsseldorf and Frankfurt where two tired buddies, Michael and Patrik, were stopping at gas stations and truck stops looking for a discreet and convenient alternative to caffeinated drinks. That was when they remembered something their Swedish friends have mentioned to them in the past, a little thing called snus! An idea was born that there should be a product that provides the same stimulating experience a snus, but in a healthier way by substituting the tobacco and nicotine for something else. After some time of brainstorming, testing and hard work this creative idea became a reality, and the result is Scooper Energy!

Innovative solutions and ingredients of absolute highest quality

Innovation was integral to the development of Scooper Energy. Traditional Swedish snus uses grounded tobacco as a base for its portions, something that Scooper has replaced with natural plant fibers. The nicotine has been swapped out for caffeine and the flavors’ sweetness come from xylitol. The natural mix of plant fibers used gives Scooper’s portions an all-white character, which in turn ensures that they won’t leave any stains on your teeth. Their caffeine content (40 mg/portion) is equal to the amount found in a cup of espresso, and together with the vitamin B5 they deliver a stimulating, uplifting and satisfying kick. The xylitol used is extracted from birch bar, a natural source of sweetness which means that no sugar has been added to give the portions their desired flavor and aroma. Scooper’s portions are placed under the lip, just like snus and nicotine pouches, and after that you’ll experience a refreshing explosion of flavor and stimulating rush of the caffeine. Discreet, quick and convenient!

Scooper Energy’s selection of flavors

Scooper Energy has a varied, well-thought out and delicious selection of fresh flavors that has something to offer within most flavor categories.

Scooper Energy Cool Grapefruit:

With these Scooper-portions you’ll enjoy a fruity and tasty flavor of grapefruit topped with a cool touch of mint.

Scooper Energy Fresh Mint:

Fresh, fresher, Scooper Energy Fresh Mint! It delivers an ice-cold mint flavor that leaves a nice cooling sensation under your lip.

Scooper Energy Iced Cola:

Here we have something sweet, cool and delicious! These discreet portions combine a tasty soda inspired cola flavor together with fresh tones of mint.

What have happened to the chewing bags from Swedish Match

It is with a heavy hearth that we share this unfortunate information with all you General, Göteborgs Rapé and Thunder fans out there. As some of you already might have noticed, the chewing bags from Swedish Match have one after the other been discontinued and are no longer available to order here at BuySnus. This development is the result of Swedish Match’s decision to cease all production of its chewing bags.

It's time to find a new favorite

While this undoubtedly marks the conclusion of an era, it also presents a great opportunity to explore your options and try something new. Seize this change to discover different alternatives and perhaps find a new favorite chew. Here at BuySnus you’ll find a big and varied selection of chewing bags that offer the same satisfying experiences as the chew from Thunder, General and Göteborgs Rapé. Pick and choose from an impressive catalog of brands that feature flavors ranging from classic tobacco to refreshing mint. For those who are considering making the jump to tobacco free Nicotine Pouches, we also have options that offer a seamless transition from Göteborgs Rapé- and General chewing bags.

Great alternatives to General and Göteborgs Rapé

If you’re a fan of General or Göteborgs Rapé you have some excellent alternatives to choose from. If you enjoy the timeless taste of pure tobacco, we recommend Artisan. It’s a premium brand of chewing bags that puts its focus on robust and unaltered tobacco flavors. If it’s a more intense experience you’re after, Siberia has your back with its Siberia X-Tremely Black Strong Slim Chew and Siberia X-Tremely Black Strong White Dry Chew, both offering nicotine packed chewing bags with classic and tobacco centric flavors.

If it’s the nuances and aromas of General and Göteborgs Rapé that you want, and you don’t mind venturing into a tobacco free territory, XR have two perfect alternatives in its portfolio. XR General Slim NP and XR Göteborgs Rapé Slim NP both draw inspiration from their chewing bags counterparts, providing similar flavor experiences but in an all-white and more discreet package.

Minty and powerful options to Thunder Chewing Bags

The popular Thunder brand, famous for its minty Frosted flavor and stimulating nicotine kicks, has since its release paved the way for others to follow. Today there are several brands of chewing bags that have embraced this concept and put their own, unique spins on it. At BuySnus you can browse through an impressive selection of chewing bags with high nicotine contents and refreshingly minty flavors. Down below you’ll find some standout chewing bags with profile similar to Thunder Chew:
