Choose 0% for nicotine-free flavor, 2–3% for typical daily adult use, and 5% only if you previously relied on stronger products. OBSCURA is 21+ only.

Strength ladder

0% = flavor only. 2% = light. 3% = standard daily. 5% = stronger, for adults coming from high-strength disposables.

Who should avoid nicotine

Anyone under 21, pregnant people, and individuals advised by a clinician to avoid nicotine should not use nicotine products.

Expert opinion

Strength selection should follow prior habit and a plan to step down — not maximum available milligrams.
