Best Nicotine-Free Vapes 2023
Whilst vaping is associated with being an effective smoking cessation tool it is also a pleasurable pastime. The numerous delectable flavours on offer can be enjoyed with your daily routine; either accompanying a morning coffee, a companion to relaxing downtime or a night out on the town - and they needn't contain any nicotine.
What is Nicotine Free Vaping?
Nicotine-free vapes contain e-liquid that has absolutely no nicotine. It provides a non-addictive way to try vaping the countless flavours on offer. It also offers the opportunity to those who have gradually lowered their nicotine level, to quit their nicotine habit for good and keep on vaping their favourite flavours.
There are a variety of ways you can enjoy nicotine-free vaping:
- Disposables - A good starting point is disposable vapes and some of the leading brands such as Elf Bar and Lost Mary have introduced 0mg options for their top flavours. They are an excellent choice for beginners as they require no set-up or maintenance and can be vaped straight out of the box.
- Pre-filled pods - A great hassle-free alternative to disposables, prefilled pods with a flavour of your choice. They clip into a vape pen device which can be recharged, meaning you aren’t throwing away a battery every time your juice runs out.
- MTL Pod & Pen Kits - These kits are a much more economical way to vape nicotine-free. They can be refilled with 50/50 10ml juice bottles which are cheaper and last longer. There are also great value 50/50 shortfills that cater to MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping styles.
- Sub-Ohm Vaping - Excellent value for money, shortfill bottles will give you access to all the flavours that vaping has to offer, they are available in 50ml or 100ml sizes and contain no nicotine. There are high VG options for sub-ohm cloud chasers that deliver big clouds packed with flavour.
What Do Nicotine-Free Vapes Contain?
Nicotine-free vapes contain Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG) and flavourings, that’s it. PG is used to carry the flavour and deliver a satisfying throat hit while VG is what determines how much vapour you will produce.
The ratio of PG/VG is important and will determine the kind of kit you will need. 50/50 PG/VG e-liquids work best in low-powered pod and pen starter kits while e-liquids with a higher VG content will need more powerful devices known as sub-ohm kits.
Almost all e-liquid contains these three ingredients with nicotine being added afterwards by either the manufacturer in the case of 10ml bottles or the by the user with a separate nic shot which is added to the larger 50ml and 100ml shortfills. With nicotine-free vapes, it’s all about flavour.
Can You Get Disposable Nicotine-Free Vapes?
Yes, you can! The good news for lovers of disposable vapes is that some of the industry-leading disposable vape manufacturers such as Elf Bar now offer nicotine-free versions of their best-selling flavours. They contain exactly the same ingredients and great-tasting flavours, just with zero nicotine. These disposables will display either 0mg or 0% on the packaging.
How Do You Use A Disposable Nicotine-Free Vape?
Nicotine-free disposable vapes work exactly the same as their nicotine counterparts. They utilise convenient auto-draw technology that allows you to simply inhale on the device to get going. Each disposable is fitted with a precharged battery and 2ml of e-liquid containing the flavour of your choice. As with nicotine-containing disposables, you can expect each bar to deliver approximately 600 puffs. Once the device is used up you can recycle it responsibly.
Are No Nicotine Disposable Vapes Harmful?
Vape kits that use e-liquids containing nicotine are 95% safer than tobacco. Nicotine-free disposable vapes are even safer as they contain no nicotine which is highly addictive.
Are 0% Nicotine Vapes Addictive?
The short answer is no, they are not. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that keeps people hooked to smoking and is what makes switching to vaping a safer option, as they provide you with a nicotine delivery system without the thousands of nasty chemicals we know are in burnt tobacco. Nicotine-free vapes remove this addictive chemical from the equation and all you are getting is the flavour.
What Is The Legal Age For Nicotine-Free Vapes?
Nicotine-free vapes are illegal for minors under the age of 18 in the UK as they fall under the same legislation that governs all vaping and tobacco products. Any manufacturer or retailer selling nicotine-free vapes to minors can face a hefty fine.
With all that being said we’ve curated a list of what we think are the top nicotine-free vape options out there.
Disposables
Elf Bar 600
The Elf Bar 600 is by far the most well-loved disposable vape on the market and it's easy to see why. A comfortable soft grip outer shell houses a precharged 550mAh battery that delivers about 600 puffs per bar. The presoaked cotton wick and mesh coil deliver exceptional flavour with every puff; all you have to do to activate the kit is inhale. No setup, no buttons - it couldn’t get easier.
Elf Bar has 16 delectable nicotine-free flavours to wet your lips. Choose from punchy flavours like Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Pink Lemonade or treat yourself to Strawberry Ice-Cream.
Riot Bar
The Riot Bar is a compact and pocket-friendly disposable vape that delivers 600 puffs (approx.) and delivers a discrete amount of flavour-packed vapour with a draw that feels similar to a cigarette.
UK manufacturer Riot is well known for its hard-hitting flavours and you can experience them nicotine-free through a range of 10 delicious flavours such as Cherry Fizzle and Mango Peach Pineapple.
Pre-filled Pods
Vont
The Vont Closed Pod System device is a slimline design that contains a rechargeable 250mAh battery and prefilled replaceable pods. So instead of throwing away the entire kit, you just replace the pods when they are done - much kinder to the environment and your pocket. Auto-draw tech activated the device and a micro-USB will recharge the battery. Their selection of moreish flavours is available in 0mg options containing a pack of three pods.
Their refreshing Sweet Melon flavour is a standout that delivers layers of ripened juicy melons that is distinctive and authentic tasting.
MTL Pod & Pen Kits - Kits
Caliburn G2 by Uwell
Arguably the greatest pod device ever made. The Caliburn G2 is as user-friendly as it gets when it comes to refillable kits. Auto draw tech or single button firing gives you full control, while the 2ml pods feature easy top filling and fully adjustable airflow. Pro-FOCS mesh coils deliver exceptional flavour and the 750mAh battery is quickly recharged with Type-C charging.
Argus P1 by VooPoo
Compact, lightweight and with a futuristic metal and clear PVC shell, the Argus P1 delivers a smooth & flavourful mouth-to-lung vape with the integrated ITO mesh coil pods. This pocket-friendly kit features inhale activation and a handy lanyard for extra portability. The 800mAh battery will keep you going all day and when your pod is done, just pop in a new one - no messy coil changes.
MTL Pod & Pen Kits - E-Liquids
50/50 10ml bottles
Vampire Vape
For refillable MTL pod kits and pens, we recommend Vampire Vape. Their 50/50 range of 0mg e-liquid is available in 10ml bottles and high VG shortfills and has been a staple in the vaping industry for years.
Our recommendation is their signature flavour, Heisenberg. A blend of bold berries with spicy aniseed and menthol that is one of the most moreish flavours on the market.
50/50 Shortfills
Imp Jar (50/50)
The Imp Jar range is inspired by the intense flavours found in disposables. They feature a 50/50 blend of e-liquid in super economical 50ml shortfill bottles, that will pair perfectly with refillable MTL (mouth-to-lung) pod kits and vape pens.
We’ve picked Strawberry Raspberry & Cherry, a fresh berry blend that balances sweet strawberry notes with a subtle hint of raspberry tang and rich cherry. Expect deep flavour with a discrete amount of vapour similar to that of a disposable vape.
As with all shortfills the Imp Jar range contains no nicotine which will be shown on the bottle as 0mg.
