Nose Knows AT5000 Nasal Inhalation Vape Review
Vozol, a major player in the disposable vaping industry, has just released the Nose Knows AT5000, the world’s first nose-inhaled disposable vape. This innovative device challenges traditional vaping norms, offering a unique and satisfying experience for adventurous vapers seeking something different.
As a seasoned vaper, I’ve spent the last two weeks testing the AT5000, and I’m here to share my firsthand experience, expertise, and honest assessment of this groundbreaking product.
Design and Build Quality
The AT5000’s design closely resembles other disposable vapes, with a few notable exceptions. The two round “bumps” at the top of the device immediately set it apart, serving as the inhalation points for your nostrils.
Measuring just 81mm x 43mm x 21mm and weighing 55g, the AT5000 is compact and easily concealable. The rounded edges and corners ensure a comfortable grip, while the removable and washable silicone covers for the inhalation bumps prioritize hygiene.
During use, the bridge between the bumps rests on your septum, forming a seal with your nostrils as you inhale. This design is less intrusive than a traditional vape, which goes deeper into your mouth.
The device features a small LED light and a removable silicone plate on the front, displaying the “Nose Knows” branding. The back of the AT5000 bears the slogan “Be Different” and the flavor name.
Each of the 12 available flavors has a unique color scheme and speckled design, with the silicone bumps, badge, and text contrasting the main device color.

Features and Benefits
The AT5000’s simplicity is its strength. Simply place it against your nostrils and inhale. Vozol highlights several key benefits of this nose-inhalation method:
- Lower sweetener content: The perception of sweetness differs when inhaling through the nose, allowing for reduced sweetener levels without compromising flavor.
- Heightened satisfaction: Despite the lower 2% nicotine strength, the AT5000 delivers a more satisfying experience than traditional vapes, potentially serving as a lower-nicotine alternative to 5% devices.
- Complementary vaping option: Rather than replacing regular vapes, the AT5000 offers a novel, complementary way to enjoy vaping.
The device boasts a substantial 1000mAh non-rechargeable battery, capable of lasting up to 5000 inhales. Once depleted, the AT5000 should be responsibly recycled in an electronics waste bin.
Nose Knows AT5000 Flavors
The Nose Knows AT5000 comes in 12 diverse flavors, catering to a wide range of preferences:
- Avocado Osmanthus
- Banana Ice
- Coconut Ice
- Double Apple
- Jasmine Rose
- Latte
- Mint Leaf
- Melon Ice
- Rose Lychee
- Strawberry Ice
- Vanilla Custard
- White Peach Sakura Ice
For this review, I tested five flavors: Melon Ice, Jasmine Rose, Banana Ice, Coconut Ice, and Mint Leaf.
Melon Ice This flavor delivers a crisp, refreshing blast of honeydew melon. The initial inhale brings a rush of sweet, juicy melon essence that’s unmistakably reminiscent of a ripe honeydew. The ‘Ice’ component follows swiftly, providing a cool, menthol-like sensation that invigorates the nasal passages. The balance between the fruit and cooling effect is well-executed, making this an excellent all-day vape for those who enjoy fruity, refreshing flavors. The coolness level is significant but not overpowering, enhancing rather than dominating the melon taste.
Jasmine Rose A sophisticated, floral blend that truly pushes the boundaries of typical vape flavors. Upon inhale, you’re greeted with the delicate, sweet scent of jasmine, followed closely by the unmistakable essence of rose. The floral notes are authentic and pronounced, creating an experience akin to walking through a blooming garden on a crisp morning. There’s a subtle coolness present, adding a refreshing touch to the floral bouquet. While the flavor is beautifully crafted, its intensity makes it more suitable for occasional use rather than an all-day vape. It’s perfect for those who appreciate complex, non-traditional vape flavors.
Banana Ice This flavor packs a powerful punch of ripe banana from the very first inhale. The banana essence is rich, sweet, and incredibly true to life – almost as if you’re inhaling a perfectly ripe banana. The ‘Ice’ component is strong in this blend, providing an intense cooling sensation that complements the thick, creamy banana flavor. The overall effect is bold and full-bodied, which some may find overwhelming for continuous use. It’s an ideal choice for banana enthusiasts who enjoy a strong cooling effect, but might be too intense for those who prefer more subtle flavors.
Coconut Ice A lighter, more nuanced option in the lineup. The coconut flavor is clean and authentic, reminiscent of fresh coconut water rather than overly sweet coconut candy. There’s a subtle tropical sweetness that’s beautifully balanced by a medium level of cooling. The ‘Ice’ effect here is less pronounced than in other flavors, allowing the natural essence of coconut to shine through. The overall profile is refreshing and easy on the palate, making it an excellent choice for all-day use, especially for those who enjoy tropical flavors without overwhelming sweetness.
Mint Leaf This flavor offers a surprisingly complex take on mint. Unlike many mint vapes that focus solely on intense cooling, this blend presents a more nuanced experience. The initial inhale brings a crisp, natural mint flavor that’s reminiscent of fresh-picked mint leaves. There’s a subtle sweetness that rounds out the mint, preventing it from being too sharp or medicinal. The cooling effect is present but balanced, complementing rather than overpowering the authentic mint flavor. This makes for a refreshing, palate-cleansing vape that doesn’t fatigue the senses, even with prolonged use. It’s an excellent choice for mint lovers looking for a more sophisticated, true-to-life mint experience.
Vaping Experience
Vaping with the AT5000 is a distinctly different experience compared to mouth-inhaled vapes. While it may take some getting used to, I found myself developing a liking for certain flavors, particularly Mint Leaf, Melon Ice, and Coconut Ice.
The 2% nicotine strength delivers a surprising level of satisfaction, comparable to a 35mg/ml mouth-inhaled vape. The unique sensation of simultaneously smelling and tasting the flavors adds an intriguing dimension to the vaping experience.

Pros and Cons
Verdict
While I won’t be abandoning traditional vapes entirely, the Nose Knows AT5000 has earned a place in my vaping rotation. As Vozol emphasizes, the AT5000 is not a replacement for mouth-inhaled vapes but rather a complementary option for those seeking a novel experience.
The device’s unconventional nature may limit its widespread adoption, but its benefits – reduced sweetener, heightened satisfaction from lower nicotine levels, and intense cooling – make it an appealing choice for adventurous vapers.
In conclusion, while I can’t recommend the AT5000 for everyone, I encourage curious vapers to keep an open mind and give it a try. As strange as it may seem, nose-inhaled vaping can be a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
