There are different levels of hell which Jesus alludes to in Luke 10:
12 I tell you,
it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14
But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
Oh and here's interesting trivia: while many of the cities in Palestine during Jesus' time have survived into modern day Israel, all the cities he cursed are *GONE*!
People have also witnessed different levels of hells in NDEs and visions. One of them is Bill Weise:

I believe most nominal Christians who were unfaithful but didn't live in sin will end up in outer darkness and not be tortured by flames. It's not a place of torment but a place of nothingness, all you can do is gnash your teeth and cry.
Here's a lukewarm believer who ended up there after he had a heart attack:
