Vaping has totally changed the way we consume nicotine, with many people using vapes as a direct alternative to traditional cigarettes. While there's an obvious switch from tobacco products to vapes, it may not be so clear why thousands of people are choosing to use nicotine free vapes.

As part of our soon to launch Chill Zero nicotine free disposable diffusers, we've conducted extensive research into the reasons why adults everywhere are making the switch to nicotine-free vapes. From scientific explanations to social drivers, this is your guide to the zero-nicotine revolution!

 

Why do people use nicotine free vapes?

It's simple really: nicotine-free vapes provide the behavioural satisfaction of a traditional e-cigarette without exposing you to the addictive properties of nicotine.

For many people, vaping is not solely about nicotine consumption as it also comes with a satisfying sensory experience. Vaping without nicotine allows individuals to continue with their customary hand-to-mouth motion, inhaling and exhaling, and enjoying their preferred flavours and aromas without nicotine's addictive properties.

In a nutshell, many people argue that nicotine-free vapes cost less, taste better and provide more satisfaction than traditional cigarettes and even nicotine vapes!

What are the benefits of vaping without nicotine?

Nicotine-free vaping has several advantages compared to vaping with nicotine. Here are the main reasons why people are picking up zero-nicotine vape pens.

1. Eliminate nicotine from your life
   Vaping without nicotine helps you to avoid the risk of developing a dependency to this highly addictive substances. Devices that contain non-nicotine vape juice won't get you hooked on the chemical that keeps tobacco users in a cycle of addiction, which has to be a good thing.
   
   
2. Better Flavours
   Nicotine can have an impact on the flavour of e-liquids. By removing nicotine from the equation, the flavours in vape juice can be more vibrant. You can therefore enjoy a more intense flavour profile - like in our zesty lemon Chill Zero disposable.
   
   
3. Smoother Sensations
   Nicotine vape juices often have a harshness that hit the back of your throat, especially at higher concentrations. Nicotine-free vapes eliminate this potential harshness, resulting in a smoother and more pleasant sensation. Some people say this contributes to the overall taste of the vape.
   
   
4. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
   Nicotine is known to have a mild numbing effect on the taste buds, which can alter the perception of flavours. When using nicotine-free vapes, this numbing effect is absent, allowing the taste buds to be more sensitive and receptive to flavour. This means that ditching nicotine could help you to enjoy more of the satisfying fruit flavours you love.
   
   
   
5. Puff Like a Pro
   Many nicotine-free vape juices are formulated with a higher concentration of vegetable glycerin (VG). VG is a thick and viscous liquid that produces denser vapour clouds when heated. By increasing the VG content and reducing the nicotine content, the e-liquid can create the large and impressive clouds that some vape users love to puff out.

So, if you're looking for the same sensation without the negative effects of nicotine, a zero-milligram vape could be the right choice for you.

Are Nicotine Free Vapes Safe?

It's hard to tell whether any product is truly 'safe', but what we can say is that vapes have been endorsed by scientists as significantly better for you than traditional tobacco products. In fact, scientists from Public Health England have gone on record to say that vapes are around 95% less harmful than cigarette smoking.

The nicotine content of a vape will not necessarily make it any more or less risky, but nicotine devices are more likely to start or feed your addiction to nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that could lead you to develop more dangerous habits like using tobacco pouches or cigarettes. For this reason, some people argue that non-nicotine vapes are safer since they won't expose you to one of the world's most addictive substances.

It's important to note that while vaping without nicotine may not be so chemically addictive, vaping itself can carry potential risks. To put it bluntly, inhaling any chemical can be risky even if the ingredients used aren't so addictive. It's crucial to make informed decisions and prioritise your health.

That being said, if the choice is between nicotine vapes and a nicotine-free alternative, we'd choose the zero nic option every time!

Is it good to vape without nicotine?

Many people find vaping without nicotine to be very helpful. Non-nicotine vapes are often viewed as a harm reduction tool for individuals who are trying to quit smoking as vaping, with or without nicotine, eliminates the risks associated with combustible tobacco products. Those who want to take it a step further may wish to switch to using zero nicotine strength vape devices as this may help to reduce the effects of nicotine dependency.

Digging deeper into the matter, there are also health considerations that may push somebody towards nicotine-free vaping. Nicotine has been linked to various health issues and by opting for nicotine-free vapes, individuals can minimise their exposure to risk factors that are specific to nicotine.

Ready to get scientific? Okay, we've got you.

Studies have shown that nicotine consumption can cause oxidative stress. This is a condition that occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of oxygen molecules and the antioxidants that support your body's defense system. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are produced naturally by our bodies. They are helpful in small amounts, but there can be trouble when there are too many of them and a high concentration can result in damage to our cells, inflammation, and disease.

Reducing or quitting nicotine consumption can help mitigate the oxidative stress associated with nicotine. This means that non-nicotine vapes could make a difference to your risk of oxidative stress.

If you want to quit smoking and are looking for a cessation program, consult a healthcare professional and ask about nicotine-free vapes along with other options.

Is vaping without nicotine addictive?

Vaping without nicotine is not inherently addictive. To understand why that is, it's important to look at the reasons why people become addicted to nicotine in the first place.

Nicotine is the addictive substance found in tobacco products, including traditional cigarettes and some vapes. When people become addicted to nicotine, it is primarily because of its stimulating effects on the brain which can lead to physical and psychological dependence.

Nicotine-free vapes do not contain nicotine and therefore don't have the potential to cause nicotine addiction. It's worth noting that the act of vaping can still become a habitual behaviour or a psychological habit. Some people develop a routine and dependence on the act of vaping, the oral fixation, or the ritual of the inhale/exhale process.

Overall, the risk of developing an addiction to nicotine-free vaping is considerably lower when compared to vaping with nicotine. While it can still be habit-forming, it can also be a useful tool for anyone who wants to wean themselves off of nicotine without giving up the flavor and sensation of using a vape.

What's in a nicotine-free vape?

Nicotine-free vapes typically contain a combination of the following ingredients.:

1. Vegetable Glycerine (VG): VG is a thick, viscous liquid derived from vegetable oils. It is commonly used in e-liquids to create vapor when heated. VG contributes to the density and smoothness of the vapor cloud produced when you take a drag on a vape.
2. Propylene Glycol (PG): PG is an organic compound that's commonly used as a carrier liquid in vape juice. It has a thinner consistency than vegetable glycerin and helps to enhance the flavor and throat hit experienced during vaping.
3. Flavorings: Nicotine-free vapes often contain various flavorings that provide a wide range of different tastes. E-cigarette flavoring chemicals can be natural or artificial and are used to mimic the flavors of fruits, desserts, beverages, menthol, and even traditional tobacco flavors.

As you'll have noticed, there's no nicotine! That's kinda the point of zero-nicotine vape juice, but it's important to remember that other chemicals and compounds are still present. It's for this reason that you should choose to buy from a reputable brand that takes the time to test its ingredients and sticks to quality manufacturing practices - like Chill!

Does vaping without nicotine have side effects?

Vaping, even without nicotine, is not risk-free. The long-term health effects of vaping are still being researched, and certain chemicals present in e-liquids may carry their own potential risks. Additionally, minors should avoid vaping altogether - it's an adult activity and not something that you should look to get into.

Can you buy nicotine free vape juice?

The simple answer: yes, you can buy zero nicotine vape juice, or even a zero nicotine disposable vape!

Nicotine-free vape juice is widely available, providing people who use tank vape devices with total control over the amount of nicotine they consume. Many specialist vaping products stores sell e-liquid containers known as shortfills. These are larger bottles of zero-milligram e-liquid that are only filled to around 80% of their full capacity (hence why they are called short fills). The space that's left in the bottle allows you to add nicotine to your own custom preferences.

It's easy to get your hands on nicotine free vape juice, but it won't be as convenient as using a disposable vape.

Conclusion: Why Use a Nicotine Free Vape

As we now know, there are lots of reasons why someone may choose to use a nicotine-free vape. First and foremost, zero milligram devices are the best way to enjoy all the sensory satisfaction you get with typical vapor products without exposing yourself to the highly addictive nicotine. They also taste great, provide for a smoother inhale and a powerful puff.

With all of these advantages, it's easy to see why thousands of adults are making the switch to nicotine free vapes. Once you try a Chill Zero diffuser, you'll understand why so many are making that switch too!
