Vuse Alto 5% vs 2.4%: Which Pods Should You Get?
Vuse Alto pods come in a few nicotine strengths, and the two you will see most are 5% and 2.4%. Same pod, same device, same flavors. The only real difference is how much nicotine is in the e-liquid. Here is how Vuse Alto 5% vs 2.4% compares and how to pick.
What the Percentages Mean
The percentage is the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid. 5% works out to 50 mg of nicotine per mL, and 2.4% works out to 24 mg per mL. So the 5% pods have about twice the nicotine concentration of the 2.4% pods.
Vuse also makes a 1.8% Alto pod. We carry the 5% and 2.4% pods.
