Every vaper has different needs, and while some require a nicotine content in their vape to help them keep their cravings at bay, others do not.
If you are looking for a nicotine-free vape but are not sure where to get started, take a look at our recommendations for the best nicotine-free vape options for 2025.
Who are nicotine-free vapes for?
There are a number of reasons why a vaper may choose to use a zero nicotine vape, and they can be used by anyone from new vapers all the way to experienced vapers.
If you are making the switch from smoking to vaping it is easy to assume that you need to start off using nicotine, and for many that is the case. However, if you were an extremely light smoker, or an infrequent smoker, a nicotine-free option may actually be right for you.
For those who smoke socially, such as on nights out, but do not smoke every day, you may not experience nicotine cravings but rather need something to replace the physical act of smoking. This may be the same for those who only smoke one or two cigarettes a day, and do not feel that they need a nicotine containing vape to help them make the switch.
In this case, no nicotine vapes can be used to replace the physical act of smoking, mimicking the feel and hand to mouth action of smoking a cigarette when needed, without the need for nicotine. If you are unsure which nicotine strength is best for you, take a look at our blog post 'Which strength e-liquid should I use?'
Similarly, vapers who use a low nicotine strength like a 3 mg/ml may choose to use a nicotine-free disposable vape at times when they need a short-term vaping option to take with them to occasions like festivals. This can help them maintain their smoke-free journey but without introducing high levels of nicotine into their body which they are not used to.
Another reason that a vaper may opt for nicotine-free vaping is because they have worked to lower their nicotine strength over time, and no longer need to use nicotine.
E-liquids are available in a variety of different strengths, and many vapers will start off on a strength that matches their nicotine intake from smoking with the aim to decrease this over time.
If you have worked your way down to a low nicotine strength and feel that you are secure in your smoke-free status and will not return to smoking should you give up nicotine entirely, then a nicotine-free vape could be a great option. We have a 'How to decrease your nicotine strength' guide if this is something you are interested in learning more about.
Finally, some e-liquids do not contain nicotine but instead contain the supplement CBD. CBD vapes and CBD e-liquids are a popular option because vaping is the most effective way to use CBD, but nicotine can interfere with the effectiveness of CBD and so these vapes and e-liquids are naturally nicotine-free.
Zero nicotine e-liquids
If you are looking for a long term nicotine-free solution, a refillable vape kit paired with a zero nicotine e-liquid is both more economical and more environmentally friendly for everyday vaping than other options like disposable vapes.
There are a wide range of nicotine-free e-liquids available, with formulas to suit all different vape kits and flavours to suit all different preferences!
50/50 e-liquids
Starter kits and refillable pod systems usually pair best with a 50/50 e-liquid, as these have a thin consistency that is easy for small coils to absorb. If you are unsure which e-liquid is best suited to your device, take a look at our blog post ‘How do I choose the right e-liquid?’
Ohm Brew are known for their huge range of e-liquid options, and they offer a wide variety of different formulas to ensure that every single vaper can enjoy their delicious flavours.
Their range of Double Brew e-liquids have proved incredibly popular, particularly because they are bar salts, which are e-liquids inspired by all of the most popular disposable vape flavours. This makes them an ideal place to start if you have been using disposable vapes and are looking to transition onto a reusable device, as you can continue to use the flavours you already know and love.
Double Brew Bar Series replicate not just the flavour of disposable vapes, but the feel of using a disposable too by including twice as much flavour concentrate as standard e-liquids, for that intense flavour pay-off.
Unlike most other bar salt e-liquids, Double Brew offer a nicotine-free option in their 100ml short fills. These bottles contain 100ml of nicotine-free 50/50 e-liquid in a 120ml bottle. The space in the bottle allows for users to choose whether they want to add nicotine or not, and so the e-liquid can be used as it comes for a delicious zero nicotine vape.
High VG e-liquids
If you are using an advanced or sub-ohm vape kit you will usually want to pair it with a high VG e-liquid, which has a thick consistency and produces thick, dense vapour.
High VG e-liquids are most commonly available in short fill bottles, which are bottles which contain more than 10ml of e-liquid. Short fills must be sold without nicotine, and so the range of nicotine-free high VG e-liquids available is vast!
The Badass Blends range from Ohm Brew has so many different flavours to choose from, including traditional flavours like tobacco and menthol, as well as fruits, sweets, and desserts, there really is something to suit every preference.
These high VG short fills all have a nicotine-free formula, so there is no need to add anything to them if you prefer a no nicotine vape. Plus, there are two different bottle sizes to choose from, so you have the option to pick up their 50ml short fills, or their 100ml Badass XL short fills, depending on how much you want to stock up on!
Another great range of high VG nicotine-free e-liquids that we think you’ll love comes from Strapped.
These ten flavours are a remix of all your favourite treats, with some really unique flavours like bubblegum drumstick, super rainbow, and pineapple breeze. They come in 100ml short fills so it is easy to stock up on your favourite flavours.
Zero nicotine prefilled pod kits
Most prefilled pod kits contain nicotine and this is something to consider when choosing a new vape, however, the Hûrb Breeze CBD vape kit is a recent addition to the market which utilises prefilled pods with a nicotine-free formula.
The Hûrb Breeze makes using CBD on the go simple and convenient. They are compact and lightweight, with long-lasting replaceable pods.
The pods come prefilled with 10ml of 1000 mg CBD + CBG, offering up to 3,000 puffs before they need to be replaced. They do not contain any nicotine, as nicotine interferes with the effects of CBD when mixed in the same e-liquid.
The Hûrb Breeze itself is a reusable kit, featuring a 650 mAh built-in battery than can be recharged. With classic flavours like OG Kush, or something fruity like mango or blueberry raspberry, there’s something for everyone.
Zero nicotine disposable vapes
Disposable vapes are an ultra-convenient short-term vaping option, perfect for when you need a vape that you can pop in your bag and not have to worry about refilling or charging.
While many disposables have a high nicotine content, we want to ensure that those vapers who usually use a low nicotine strength or no nicotine at all also have a wide range of options to choose from.
It is important to bear in mind that the disposable vape ban is due to come into effect on 1st June 2025, and nicotine-free disposable vapes will be included in this ban. So, while they are a handy option for the time being, it is a good idea to consider a reusable alternative for the future.
The Hayati Pro Max range are big puff disposable vapes, each containing 10ml of zero-nicotine vape juice.
While nicotine containing disposable vapes are limited to a 2ml maximum e-liquid capacity, this is not the case for nicotine-free disposable vapes, meaning they can contain more e-liquid and therefore offer more puffs per device.
These big puff vapes offer up to 4,000 puffs per device and has a built-in 1400 mAh single-use internal battery. The Hayati Pro Max range comes in nine flavour options, including pineapple ice, double menthol, and lemon & lime.
With an easy to use design and simple set up, the device is ready to use straight out of the box. They are a greatly convenient option for vapers looking for a zero nicotine option.
Vuse are a brand that are known for their approachable and easy to use devices, and the Vuse GO Max is no different.
While nicotine containing disposable vapes are limited to a 2ml maximum e-liquid capacity, this is not the case for nicotine-free disposable vapes, meaning they can contain more e-liquid and therefore offer more puffs per device.
Vuse GO Max is a 0 nicotine vape range comprised of disposable vapes which come prefilled with 4.8ml of e-liquid in a choice of six delicious flavour options. The flavours in this range keep it quite simple so that they can cater to the tastes of many different vapers, with options like mint ice, blue raspberry, and berry melon.
The bigger e-liquid capacity combined with a powerful built-in single-use battery allows each device to offer up to 1500 puffs before needing to be replaced. This is perfect if you are heading on a short trip or to a festival, as these small devices do not need refilling or recharging, allowing you to pack light and rest easy knowing that it won’t break the bank should your vape get lost or damaged while you are away.
Another big disposable vape brand that has recently added a nicotine-free option to their range is SKE Crystal. The Crystal Bar disposable vape range has proved to be extremely popular, with a slim pen-style design that is lightweight and perfect for popping in your pocket or bag.
The zero nicotine Crystal Bars are available in some of their most popular flavours, with a great mix of flavours ranging from classics like tobacco, to more unique flavours like VMT ice and blue razz lemonade.
Each device comes prefilled with 2ml of 0 mg/ml vape juice, allowing for up to 600 puffs per device.
