Quick Answer
Most Airis Neo P40000 units are sold in two nicotine strengths: 2% and 5% (availability depends on your region).
- 2% (often labeled ~20 mg/mL): smoother, lighter buzz, easier to pace
- 5% (often labeled ~50 mg/mL): stronger, faster satisfaction, easier to overdo if you’re not used to it
If you’re unsure, check the box label first—don’t guess.
Why nicotine strength varies by version
Different markets and retailers carry different versions because:
- Local regulations may limit maximum nicotine strength.
- Customer demand varies (some prefer a milder daily vape; others want fast satisfaction).
- Packaging/stock can differ by batch or distributor.
Bottom line: the “Neo P40000” name tells you the device line—not automatically the nicotine strength.
Where to check on the packaging
You’ll usually find it on the back of the box in the specs/parameters panel, just below the Airis logo:
- “Nicotine: 2%” or “Nicotine: 5%”
- “20 mg/mL” (commonly equals 2%) or “50 mg/mL” (commonly equals 5%)
If the box is gone, check:
- the device label (if present), then
- your order page/receipt, then
- ask the retailer to confirm the exact batch you purchased.

2% vs 5%: Which One Should You Choose?
Who 2% is for
Choose 2% if you:
- want a smoother throat hit
- vape more frequently throughout the day and prefer lighter dosing
- are transitioning from lower-nic pod systems or lighter nicotine use
- tend to get headaches/nausea from stronger nicotine
Typical feel: more controllable, less “nicotine spike,” easier to take multiple puffs without regret.
Who 5% is for
Choose 5% if you:
- used to smoke regularly (or already use high- nicotine salt products)
- want fast satisfaction with fewer puffs
- don’t want to chain-vape to feel “something.”
Typical feel: quicker buzz, stronger “hit,” but it can punish you if you overdo it.
What “too strong” feels like
If your nicotine is too strong (or you’re puffing too fast), you might feel:
- nausea / “queasy stomach.”
- dizziness or lightheadedness
- headache
- sweating, rapid heartbeat, jitters
- throat irritation that feels sharp rather than satisfying
If this happens: stop vaping, sip water, get fresh air, and give it time. If symptoms are severe or don’t improve, seek medical help.
Throat Hit and Satisfaction
What to expect from each strength
- 2%: usually milder throat hit, steadier satisfaction, less harshness on longer sessions
- 5%: more immediate punch and faster craving relief, but can feel harsher—especially if you take long pulls back-to-back
A common mistake is thinking “harsh = stronger device.” Often it’s just too much nicotine too quickly (or your throat is dry).
How to pace if you’re new
If you’re not sure how your body reacts:
- Start with 1–2 short puffs, then wait 10–15 minutes
- Don’t “test” it with deep pulls—nicotine salts can hit delayed
- If you choose 5%, treat it like “espresso”: small dose, then pause
- Avoid vaping when you’re dehydrated, on an empty stomach, or after lots of caffeine
If You’re Cutting Down Nicotine
Step-down approach
A simple step-down plan that works for many users:
- Use 5% only when cravings are strongest (morning / after meals), and keep sessions short
- Switch your “casual” daytime use to 2%
- Over time, make 2% your default and reserve 5% as an occasional fallback
- If you’re ready, reduce frequency (longer breaks between sessions)
Your goal isn’t to “feel nothing”—it’s to avoid chasing a stronger and stronger hit.
Avoiding overuse
High-puff devices can make it easy to unintentionally increase nicotine intake. To stay in control:
- Set a rule like “2 puffs, then wait.”
- Keep the vape out of reach while working/gaming
- If you’re using 2% and still chain-vaping, it may be habit-driven—try timed breaks instead of more puffs
- Watch for “autopilot” triggers (stress, scrolling, driving)
FAQ
Is 5% too strong for beginners?
For many beginners, yes—5% can be too strong, especially if you have low tolerance or you don’t already use nicotine. If you’re new, 2% is the safer starting point in terms of comfort and pacing. If you do try 5%, take very small sessions and wait before taking more.
Does higher nicotine mean harsher throat hit?
Often, yes—higher nicotine can feel harsher, especially with longer pulls or frequent hits. But harshness also depends on:
- your puff style (short vs long)
- hydration level
- flavor type (some “ice” flavors feel sharper)
- sensitivity on that day
If 5% feels harsh, try shorter puffs and longer breaks—don’t force it.
How do I know what strength I bought?
Check, in this order:
- Box label: “2% / 5%” or “20 mg/mL / 50 mg/mL”
- Order confirmation or product listing screenshot
- Ask the shop to confirm the exact version/batch you received
If anything doesn’t match (listing says 2% but box says 5%), treat the packaging label as the priority and contact the seller.
