10 Reasons to Switch to Nicotine-Free E-Juice

The ultimate long-term goal for every smoker is to become a nicotine-free version of themselves.

One way to do it is to slowly reduce the level of nicotine in your vape until you’re vaping on zero nicotine e-juice.

That is when you can truly enjoy the majesty of blowing huge vape clouds just because you think they’re awesome – you’re not compelled to do so because you need a nicotine fix.

In fact, there are vapers out there who are exclusively using nicotine-free vape juices, and have never even tried juices with nicotine. They enjoy the act of vaping and the vaping experience. There’s plenty of reasons why you should make the switch, besides ridding yourself of an annoying dependency.

Are Nicotine-Free Vape Juices Safe?

Nothing in life is 100% safe, not even drinking water.

That said, zero nic vape juice is very safe in comparison to smoking. It doesn’t contain anything but food-grade additives and flavorings and, with nicotine removed, it is not habit-forming. It’s also safe to assume that it’s safer than vape juice that does contain nicotine – nic free juice won’t raise your blood pressure or heart rate. And there are many other side effects of nicotine you’ll be avoiding.

Still, there are no guarantees. However, if you want to start your journey towards being smoke-free, we recommend contacting us here at the Kind Pen so that we can suggest the best vape pen for your style of vaping. Don’t worry about vaping on nicotine-free vape juice just yet – just moving away from regular cigarettes is accomplishment enough. If you stick with that, you will soon be able to go without nicotine, too.

11 Reasons to Ditch the Nic

#1 No Risk of Addiction

When you look at the typical composition of vape juice (most brands), you will notice that it contains the following common ingredients:

Propylene Glycol or Vegetable Glycerin
Food-grade Flavors
Water
Nicotine

Only one of those ingredients is habit-forming, and that’s nicotine.

Flavorings, water, PG, and VG do not contain any compounds that excite our nervous system to a point where we start craving them. They are not chemically addictive. This is why, when you remove nicotine from the equation, all vape juice is non-addictive.

Also, there are no side effects once you remove nicotine from the equation. Nicotine free vapes carry no long-term health effects. You won’t suffer from stress if you don’t vape once you feel the need. And you will not be introducing an addictive chemical into your brain and body.

#2 Toxin-Free

Strictly speaking, nicotine is a toxin produced by the tobacco plant to fend off predators. It’s a part of the plant’s defense system – it makes little critters and bugs feel queasy and disoriented, and after a few bites, they stop munching on tobacco leaves.

For humans, nicotine is both a toxin and a stimulant. If you’re an adult, you get the kick from the stimulant part. However, the toxin part of nicotine comes into play if it’s ingested by pets or kids.

With zero-nic e-juice, there’s no fear if the bottle ends up in your child’s hands. Since all other ingredients are food-grade, ingesting vape juice without any nicotine will not harm them. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should leave your juice bottles laying around. Be sensible and always store them out of the reach of young children. However, if something does go amiss and a kid ends up playing with your vape, you’ll breathe a bit easier knowing that there’s nothing toxic in there that could harm them.

#3 Smooth Sailing… and Inhaling

For most beginner vapers, vaping is not quite the same as smoking. It lacks that certain something – that throat punch that you get when inhaling the smoke of a cigarette. To compensate for that (and to get as close to the feeling of smoking as possible), a lot of vapers up the content of nicotine in their juice. This feeling that is produced by this is called the throat hit.

That said, after a while, that punchy hit to the back of the throat becomes too much for some vapers, especially as they get accustomed to vaping and start needing less and less nicotine. That’s when reducing nicotine levels becomes a good idea. And, once you’re ready to completely let go of throat hit, you can just switch to nicotine-free e-juice and enjoy smooth vaping!

#4 Better Flavors

If you like strong flavors, you will be surprised how every vape juice seems to grow in intensity once you remove nicotine from the mix. While nicotine is odorless, it does taste pretty harsh, as we mentioned above when talking about throat hit. Also, adding it to the e-juice recipe dilutes the liquid a bit, which means compromising on the levels of flavorings.

Nicotine-free vaping allows you to fully concentrate on the flavors, without being too focused on that prickling feeling at the back of your throat. You will soon notice how all your cake flavors are “cakier”, and how that strawberry juice tastes and smells like ripe, fresh fruits!

There are plenty of products out there – such as disposable vapes – that give excellent flavor without tarnishing it with nicotine aftertaste. People have been using them for years, and you can, too!

#5 No Chance of Failing a Test

Just recently, U-Haul, a moving and storage company announced that it will no longer hire smokers.

More specifically, they announced that they won’t hire anyone who is addicted to nicotine, including vapers. This is not an unusual move – more and more companies are moving in this direction.

The only way for those companies to enforce this rule is to regularly test their employees. If you’re a smoker or a vaper, though luck – your habit will show up on that test.

Or will it?

Well, you can’t fail a nicotine test if you’re not actually using nicotine! For vapers, the workaround is to simply switch to nicotine-free vape juice. You can do this permanently or just a couple of days before testing. It takes nicotine four days to clear your system (if a urine test is used), after which you can simply revert back to your favorite nicotine vape juice.

#6 Sweet Tooth Satisfaction

When you’re a vaper, you’re perfectly aware that satisfying a craving for sweets doesn’t have to involve a candy bar. It can simply involve your favorite fruity e-liquid.

Vaping can help you reduce mindless sugar consumption or even just snacking on empty calories. Depending on your situation, that could be beneficial to your health. Just ask a diabetic vaper how incredible it is to vape a flavor they shouldn’t actually eat.

This doesn’t have to involve nicotine, however, since nicotine just takes away from the flavor. By switching to a nic-free e-liquid, you can easily keep your sweet tooth in check without having to worry about damaging your health!

#7 Better Cloud-Chasing and Tricks

There’s nothing more satisfying than landing a series of perfect O’s with your vape exhale, right? It just adds that extra bit of sparkle to the whole thing – and it’s even better when you manage to turn a few heads your way!

But, getting those O’s to align just perfectly takes a lot of practice, and it’s much easier if you’re using nicotine free e-juice.

Getting good at vaping theatrics means that you have to inhale huge amounts of vapor, sometimes even holding them in your lungs for quite some time before the exhale. If you’re using a nicotine vape juice, there’s a greater chance that you will get nic sick (nauseous from too much nicotine). That’s why it’s recommended to always use non-nicotine vape juice when practicing these tricks, and then doing them with nic juice once you’re 100% sure that you can pull them off without too much effort.

#8 No Nic Break Needed

It’s not uncommon for nicotine users to accidentally go overboard from time to time, especially when they’re just learning their limits. It’s not a comfortable feeling. It might make you temporarily lethargic, speedy, with a buzz, or plain old sick. But sometimes you still want to vape, even if you’re feeling it in your bones that you should not be inhaling any more nicotine that day.

That’s when you need to go with nicotine-free vape juice. You will be able to indulge in your habit without forcing your body to jump through hoops to accommodate you. It’s a great option to have because it’s basically the best of both worlds – being able to enjoy something that you love, and not putting yourself in danger by doing so!

You can now regulate your nicotine intake even if you continue vaping. The best part – you can have a great vaping experience with this healthier alternative. The main difference is that you’re no longer poisoning yourself.

#9 You’re Drug-Free!

Kid yourself not – nicotine is classified as a drug because it has physiological and psychological effects that are common for all other drugs. Of course, there are degrees but if you’re unable to partake in drugs for some reason (maybe a religious one), nicotine will be a substance that you cannot take in clear conscience.

If this is the case, you should consider vaping exclusively zero nic juice. You still get the benefit of vaping – it’s a good substitute to smoking even without that nicotine buzz. But now you’re enjoying something without breaking the tenets of your religion, and without feeling bad about it.

#10 Sweet Deals on Vape Juice

Believe it or not, switching to zero nicotine can help you save some money – or, at least, earmark it for vape gear buys! Zero nic bottles are not very popular on the market because a lot of vapers are – understandably – trying to substitute smoking with vaping. They need nicotine in their juice. That’s why they won’t go for something that’s very low on it (or completely lacking nicotine).

This is your opportunity to bargain shop for vape juice! Even if you don’t vape zero nic, you can pick up a bottle cheaper, and then just mix it with the nic juice that you already have (especially if you’re a low nicotine vaper and the juice is the same flavor). For example, mixing 6 mg with 0 mg will get you double the amount of 3 mg vape juice – not a bad cost-saving trick for a rainy day, right?!

#11 Easier to Store & Keep

Nic-free vape juice will last longer.

Because nicotine is a highly reactive substance, it needs to be kept away from sun, warm, and drastic changes. Otherwise, it degrades – and this comes with flavor changes. So you better be keeping that nic juice safely stored so it doesn’t expire!

But…

You can significantly prolong the life expectancy of your juice if it doesn’t contain nicotine. This means being able to buy in bulk, during heavy discounts, without having to worry about the expiration date.
