By burn, we mean a heat and tingle sensation on the gum when VELO is used. The tingling sensation you feel as nicotine is released is a normal part of the experience. It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but it's all part of the VELO journey that takes you to a world of flavour taste and sensations.
