Vaping is a truly life-changing thing for the millions of people around the world who have successfully used it to quit smoking, and if you are one of those people, chances are that you used – and still use – vape juice with nicotine. Despite the obvious appeal of nicotine e-liquid, though, virtually every vape juice company in the world still offers nicotine-free juice. So, what’s the point? If everyone who vapes requires nicotine in order to stay off of the cigarettes, then no one ever buys vape juice without nicotine – right?
Actually, the truth is that nicotine-free e-liquid is more popular than you might think, and a significant number of people vape every day without using any nicotine at all. What’s the point of nicotine-free vape juice? That’s what you’re about to learn.
These Are the Best Nicotine-Free Vape Juices
If you're ready to explore the world of nicotine-free vape juice for yourself, you need to choose a flavor that's tasty enough to satisfy you even without the nicotine. Here are a few of our favorite non-nicotine e-liquids on the market today.
- Lava Flow by Naked 100: Lava Flow is simply one of the most popular e-liquids of all time, and it tastes delicious with or without nicotine. This vape juice's mouthwatering blend of strawberry and watermelon set against a creamy tropical coconut base. It's guaranteed to satisfy your cravings at any nicotine strength and might even quench your thirst as well!
- Reds Apple Iced by 7 Daze: The original Reds Apple e-liquid by 7 Daze was an instant hit upon its release and immediately became a true classic of the vaping industry. It was the most realistic apple vape juice ever created -- and with the addition of menthol, Reds Apple Iced is even better. Even without the nicotine, this vape juice's amazingly pure apple flavor really comes through. The dash of chilly menthol makes it taste like you're drinking a big glass of apple juice right out of the refrigerator.
- Unflavored by Air Factory: If you're going to use a nicotine-free e-liquid, why not use an unflavored one as well?

If you're sick of replacing your coil constantly because of coil gunk, you'll really like this one.
Buy Cheap Vape Juice at Bargain Prices
While many people vape without ever buying e-liquid with nicotine, the fact is that most people don’t buy nicotine-free vape juice. Invariably, when vape shops find that their stocks are approaching their expiration dates, it’s always the 0 mg e-liquid that’s languishing unsold on the shelves. Those are the bottles that end up in the bargain bin. When you check the clearance section at your favorite brick-and-mortar or online vape shop, then, most of what you’ll find will be nicotine free.
What if nicotine-free e-liquid isn’t actually what you want? Right now, you probably check the clearance sections at your favorite e-liquid retailers, find nothing but 0 mg vape juice and move on, right?
Well, this tip is going to blow your mind. Here’s how you can use nicotine-free e-liquid to save a bundle on vape juice – even if you only use e-liquid with nicotine.
Let’s suppose, for instance, that your preferred nicotine strength is 3 mg. Your favorite vape shop sells your preferred e-liquid at $20 per bottle, and you find a nicotine-free bottle of that same e-liquid in the shop’s clearance section for $5. All that you need to do, then, is buy the nicotine-free bottle along with a bottle of the same flavor in 6 mg. Mix the two, and you’ve got the equivalent of two bottles with a nicotine strength of 3 mg – at a cost of $25 rather than $40. Nicotine-free e-liquid is a great way to get your favorite vape juice for less.
Make Your Own In-Between Nicotine Strengths
Here’s another way for you to make nicotine-free e-liquid useful by using it as a mixer. If you’re a long-term vaper, chances are that you’ve bought your e-liquid in gradually lower nicotine strengths as time has gone by. Maybe you started with a high-nicotine cigalike. If you’ve been vaping long enough, you might have used an eGo vape pen at some point. Today, though, you’re using a box mod or some other high-end device. Each time you’ve upgraded to a more powerful device, you’ve compensated for the bigger clouds by lowering the nicotine strength of your e-liquid.
If you’re using an ultra-powerful tank like the Freemax M Pro 3, you may now find yourself wondering whether a nicotine strength of 3 mg is even still necessary. The problem, though, is that no major e-liquid maker offers a lower strength than 3 mg – except 0 mg.
Here’s the next case where nicotine-free e-liquid becomes useful as a mixer!
All that you need to do to make e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 1.5 mg is mix two bottles of e-liquid at 3 mg and 0 mg in equal parts. If you’re using a powerful vaping device, you’ll cut your nicotine intake in half and probably won’t even notice the change.
Now, let’s take the idea of blending nicotine-free e-liquid with another nicotine strength even further.
Reduce and Eliminate Your Nicotine Intake
We’ve arrived at the ultimate purpose for nicotine-free e-liquid and the reason why most people buy it. It’s because many of the people who use vape juice without nicotine are former smokers who no longer use nicotine but still vape because they enjoy the hand-to-mouth ritual or simply because they enjoy the flavor of the e-liquid.
Eliminating your nicotine intake completely is a worthwhile goal. Once you’ve done that, you may even find that you no longer need to vape at all! The easiest way to do that is by mixing non-nicotine e-liquid and 3 mg e-liquid in varying ratios. Once you’re completely used to using a nicotine strength of 1.5 mg, try lowering your nicotine intake further by mixing two bottles of nicotine-free e-liquid with one bottle of 3 mg e-liquid. Now, you’ve got an e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 1 mg.
With nicotine-free e-liquid, you can reduce your nicotine intake at your own pace until you no longer require nicotine. At that point, it’s up to you whether you want to continue vaping or not.
Experience the Boldest Flavors in Vaping
In some e-liquids, the nicotine is a vital part of the overall flavor profile. That’s particularly true of tobacco e-liquids since you obviously taste nicotine when you use tobacco products. With sweeter e-liquids, though, you may find the peppery taste of nicotine to be a bit of a distraction. If you eliminate nicotine from an e-liquid, you’ll taste the e-liquid’s flavor profile more vividly. That’s one reason why some people continue vaping after they’ve stopped using nicotine; they continue to enjoy the incredible flavor profiles that the skilled vape juice mixologists of the world have created. They’re no longer addicted to the nicotine, though, so they can quit any time.
Perform Vape Tricks and Enter Cloud Competitions
Have you ever seen the vape tricks that people have uploaded to YouTube? Maybe your local vape shop has even hosted a cloud competition or two. Have you ever wanted to enjoy that aspect of vape culture? If you have, you should know that people aren’t practicing their vape tricks and cloud chasing techniques with nicotine; they’re using nicotine-free e-liquid.
Nicotine-free e-liquid is the vape juice of choice for vape tricks and cloud chasing for two reasons. The first reason is because there’s no reason to inhale that much nicotine; you’ll make yourself sick. The second reason is more practical; nicotine doesn’t form the thick clouds that vape tricksters and cloud chasers want. Those people are using pure vegetable glycerin because that’s what makes the biggest clouds. If you want to do vape tricks, nicotine-free e-liquid is what you need.
Reduce Stimulant Use at the End of the Day
Some people buy nicotine-free e-liquid and only use it part of the time. It’s great, for example, at the end of the day when you might want to reduce your stimulant usage so you can get to sleep more easily. Are you an all-day chain vaper? Do you often find it difficult to get to sleep at night? An easy way to help that is by switching to nicotine-free e-liquid at the end of the day. Of course, it’s also wise to stop consuming alcohol and caffeine and to reduce your screen time during the evening. If you do all of those things, you’ll probably find it much easier to fall asleep.
Keep Your Sweet Tooth Under Control
One of the features of e-liquid that’s really fun is the fact that it’s available in sweet flavors that taste extremely true to life. In the world of e-liquid, you’ll find flavor profiles ranging from sweet-and-sour candy to vanilla ice cream and jelly-filled doughnuts. Those flavors aren’t just popular because they taste a heck of a lot better than cigarettes. They’re also popular because they’re nearly as sweet as the real treats they represent – but they contain no sugar and are calorie free. Some people find that having a few puffs of a sweet e-liquid can really reduce those cravings for the real thing.
