What Are Nicotine Free Vapes?
You’ve no doubt heard by now that vaping is an excellent way for smokers to quit the habit - and I agree. As an ex-smoker, vaping got me off cigarettes for good. But many smokers going down the vaping route still crave the nicotine hit that cigarettes provide, and trust me, I know the feeling. Luckily, vape juices come in a range of different nicotine strengths that all you to gradually move to nicotine free vaping over time.To help you in your journey to being nicotine free, I’ve put together a list of the 10 best nicotine free vapes you can buy in 2025. But before I get into it, let’s take a look at what nicotine free vapes are all about!
Can You Get Nicotine Free Vapes?
You’ll find that a lot of large vape companies like Elf Bar make nicotine free versions of some of their most popular vape flavours, which allow you to continue enjoying a tasty vaping session. Shortfill e-liquids also come with 0mg of nicotine as standard, with the option for you to add nicotine to them in the form of nic shots, so there are plenty of different nicotine free options for you to try out. I personally found shortfills a tremendously flexible option, allowing me to bring my nicotine right down or have none at all.
Are Nicotine Free Vapes Safe?
Personally, I would say that nicotine free vapes are generally safer than ones with it in, if only because nicotine is a highly addictive substance. However, vaping as a whole, while far safer than smoking, does have its risks, and if you decide to vape, you should be aware of them before taking it up.
What is Nicotine Free Vaping?
You can enjoy nicotine free vaping by simply choosing a vape kit or e-liquid without any nicotine in it. You’ll still get that hand-to-mouth familiarity and throat hit, thanks to the propylene glycol (PG) in the vape juice, and that was a big contention point for me. While quitting smoking, not having something to do with my hands was hard, so being able to do that and get a throat hit all without nicotine was a blessing. Most premixed vape juices range between 20mg-3mg in strength, and shortfills combined with nic shots can be reduced even further, allowing you to transition easily to a nicotine free life.
What Are Nicotine Free Vape Juices Made of?
Propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), and flavourings make up nicotine free vape juices. PG is an odourless, colourless liquid that you can commonly find in food. It gives you the throat hit you’re used to, while VG is a slightly sweet, thicker, odourless liquid made from plant oils that is much smoother when inhaled and helps make large vapour clouds, which many vapers (including myself) enjoy.Different flavours are added to this VG/PG base to enhance your vape significantly. They’re food-grade ingredients approved for e-liquids, and you’ll find them in many flavours, such as drinks, desserts, fruits, and classic tobacco and menthol blends. I’m a Pink Lemonade man myself!
Can Nicotine Free Vapes Help You Quit?
A bit of research will show you that vaping helps smokers quit. It’s a fact. But going down to zero nicotine can be tricky, and you may find yourself going back to smoking to satisfy your cravings. To remedy this, you should try choosing an e-liquid with a nicotine strength you can cope with and then gradually work your way down from there. Here are some tips to make the transition easier:
- You should start with premixed vape juices at 20mg and gradually work your way down to 3mg.
- You can move on to shortfills and nic shots to reduce the strength to 1.5mg.
- The final step is to switch to zero nicotine e-liquids.
- If your cravings persist, try going back to your last lowest strength and then switch back to zero nicotine when you feel ready.
These tips should help you go nicotine free with time, but it will also take some willpower on your part, so stick with it!
What if I Want to Give Up Vaping but Still Need the Nicotine?
Let’s be honest for a second. Quitting nicotine is hard. We all know it. But if, like me, you are determined to move away from smoke and vapour-based nicotine consumption, I have the solution for you - nicotine pouches. When I decided to give up vaping, these pouches were a gift. You can find them in many different strengths and flavours, just like vapes, except they come in a small pouch which you pop onto your gum under the lip, where they release nicotine and flavour. And the best part? They’re entirely vapour and smoke-free!Not only that, but nicotine pouches are discrete and allowed me to get a nicotine hit without having to go outside and brave the elements (vaping in the winter is not fun.) I can highly recommend them to those who want to give up vaping and smoking but aren’t quite ready to give up nicotine yet
Are Nicotine Free Vapes Better For You?
Vaping removes 95% of the harmful chemicals you’d inhale if you smoked, so yes, I’d say it’s definitely better for you! Nicotine isn’t going to cause you any significant health issues, but it is a very addictive substance, that's for sure. If you remove it from your vape, you can improve your mood and sleep; over time, you will no longer crave it.
Can Under 18’s Buy Nicotine Free Vapes?
Just like with any nicotine-containing product, nicotine free vapes follow the same rules. It is against the law for you to buy or use a vape if you are under the age of 18.
The Best 10 Nicotine Free Vapes of 2025
Doozy Vape Co. Seriously Pod Fill 50/50
Doozy Vape Co. knows what they're doing when it comes to vape juices, and the Seriously Pod Fill 50/50 is no different. Completely nicotine free and in a 50VG/50PG ratio, these 100ml shortfills are wicked in a pod kit.
You've got 10 fruity flavours to pick from, and I couldn't get enough of the Cherry Twist flavour. It's so perfectly sweet and tangy, and the addition of mixed berries really took it up a notch for me.
Ohm Brew Double Brew XL 50/50
Ohm Brew has managed to do something that many other e-liquid manufacturers have struggled with—retaining the sweetness of bar flavours in a 100ml shortfill form. Coming out of Northern Ireland, these double-concentrated e-liquids have a 50VG/50PG ratio for deep and powerful flavours in your favourite pod kit.
I was a huge disposable vape user back in the day, and I loved how strong the flavours were, so to find a line of e-liquids that managed to replicate the intense flavour of disposables was a blessing. But the standout flavour for me has got to be the Caramel Frappe. I'm more of a Caramel Latte dude when it comes to drinks, but this flavour was heavenly.
The coffee taste is so smooth and not overpowering and perfectly complements the sweet caramel. Bliss in a bottle, if you ask me!
The Double Brew series also comes in 10ml nic salts if that's more your jam!
DK Shakes 70/30
Donut King (or DK as they're more commonly known) is a hugely popular brand on Ecigone, and the DK 'N' Shake range isn't any different. 100ml shortfills with a 70VG/30PG ratio for supremely tasty clouds in a sub-ohm kit, these zero-nicotine vape juices have some of the best dessert flavours on the market.
Personally, I'm not a massive fan of dessert-flavoured e-liquids. I'd rather eat the real thing! Having said that, I did enjoy the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour, although I haven't tried them all. Pick some up and see what you think!
Wick Liquor 70/30
Wick Liquor pumps out some of the best UK-made vape juices around. But their self-titled e-liquid series is hard to beat. Coming in a 70/VG/30PG ratio for perfect sub-ohm vaping and 12 exotic flavours, this collection is something to behold.
I was told when trying this line out that I had to taste the Boulevard flavour first. And oh boy, I was so glad I did. Delicious fruit punch and fortified Malibu loganberry pulp 'fruit-punched' my senses, and to be completely honest, while the other flavours were amazing, this one blew them all out of the water.
Supergood Fruit Range 50/50
Supergood is a massive UK e-liquid manufacturer with plenty of experience under their belt. Their 100ml Fruit Range mixes exotic and juicy fruit tastes for a superb 50VG/50PG vape in pod kits.
It's not often you find grapefruit flavours in vape juices, but as soon as I saw the Grapefruit & Pineapple one, I jumped at it. The sweet pineapple was a perfect partner to the tangy grapefruit, and I'd love to see more companies using grapefruit in their flavours.
Nasty Juice 70/30
Nasty Juice is a Malaysian e-liquid company known the world over for its strong and exciting flavours. Their 50ml shortfill range is the best of the bunch with some of the tastiest tobacco, fruit, and drink options around.
Wicked Haze was my go-to for this line. Blackcurrant AND lemonade? Now you're speaking my language! Sweet and with a little fizz from the lemonade, I think that Nasty Juice is the perfect choice for a quality vape.
Bar Drop 50/50
Bar Drop is one of those companies that like to do things a bit differently. Straightforward packaging and a unique take on flavour mixing, these 50ml shortfills are the perfect bar juice replacement for pod kits.
I've spoken about Bar Drop in our 'Best Bar Juice Brands Right Now' blog, and my feelings then are the same as they are now. No one does unique flavours like Bar Drop. Sakura Grape is still my favourite flavour, with its delicate floral notes and sweet, juicy grape base. I'd highly recommend giving this range a try if you're in the market for something different.
Perfect Vape 50/50
Perfect Vape is another extremely popular brand on Ecigone and another great example of delicious bar juice flavours in 100ml shortfill form. From sweets, drinks, desserts, and juicy fruits, the Perfect Vape Bar 50/50 range has it all.
I'm a sucker for sour sweets, and the Sour Apple Gummy Bear flavour really hit the spot. To be honest, all of their sweet flavours are delicious. Next on my list is Fizzy Cherry...
Twelve Monkeys 70/30
Twelve Monkeys brings you 12 super fruity and iced up vape juices from Canada. Ideal for sub-ohm tanks and kits with their 70VG/30PG ratio, these tastes feature an exotic blend of fruits with an icy edge.
Kanzi and Kanzi Iced are the top contenders here. Bringing the iconic trio of strawberry, watermelon and kiwi together, one puff and I felt like summer had come early.
Bombo Pastry Masters 70/30
Straight out of sunny Spain, Bombo's Pasty Master's lineup brings three awesome dessert flavours in a 70VG/30PG ratio, ideal for a super sweet sub-ohm vape.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm a bit hesitant when it comes to dessert vapes. But Ecigone's founder Shane Margereson urged me to try the Master Custard flavour, and I think my view on dessert vapes might have been changed forever. I've never tasted such a smooth and creamy vape, not to mention the delicate custard layered over a buttery biscuit base. It's divine, and I urge you to give it a try. If I can be converted, you certainly can!
