Nicotine-Free Vaping: Best 0mg E-Liquids and Who It's For (UK 2026)

Nicotine-free vaping is popular among former smokers who no longer have cravings, or people who enjoy vaping but don't need a nicotine hit. It offers the same flavours, vape clouds, and hand-to-mouth action without any addictive substances.

Some people use 0mg e-liquids because they don't need nicotine. Others like to customise their vape strength by adding nicotine shots to their e-liquids.

Whichever category you fall into, we've got everything you need to know about zero nicotine vapes in this post.

What are Nicotine Free Vapes?

0mg e-liquids have the same base ingredients as their nicotine counterparts (without the obvious). These ingredients include flavourings and different ratios of VG (vegetable glycerine) and PG (propylene glycol).

So, you'll still get lots of flavour and vapour production, but there's no nicotine hit. The most common 0mg e-liquids are also known as shortfills, which typically come in 50ml and 100ml bottles.

Each bottle has a gap at the top, where you can add nicotine shots to customise the strength - but this is optional. So, while some people choose to add nicotine, others choose to vape nicotine-free.

Who Might Choose Non-Nicotine Vaping?

Nicotine-free vaping isn't for everyone, but it can be beneficial in the following cases:

• You've Quit Smoking: Vaping is proven to be more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapy options (Cochrane). You can start off on high nicotine vapes, then gradually reduce your strength. Once you've hit 1 mg, you might decide to keep vaping but don't have a nicotine dependence anymore.

• Sub-Ohm Vapers: Sub-ohm vapers use advanced vape mods to customise their experience and create huge vape clouds. Most use shortfills, which have room for nicotine shots. Instead of a fixed strength, you can choose the nicotine content based on how many shots you use.

• Social Vapers: If you miss the social elements of smoking or enjoy a few cheeky puffs when you're out, 0mg e-liquids remove the risks of developing a nicotine addiction.

The Best 0mg E-Liquids in 2026

Nicotine-free vapes come in a huge range of flavour options, so there's something for everyone. In most cases, 0mg e-liquids are shortfills, which means they're high in VG and come in a larger bottle. But you can also find specialist vape brands that create 0mg 50/50 e-liquids.

The 88Vape Shortfill range is where you'll go to find the best nicotine-free e-liquids, and we've got a range of options available. Here are the most popular for 2026.

Fruity Blends

Refreshing and sweet with none of the sugar, fruit flavours never disappoint. Whether you enjoy the crispness of apples, summery strawberry vibes, or like to mix it up with tropical flavours, these e-liquids are perfect for enjoying alone or mixing with nicotine shots.

Our most popular flavours in this category include Strawberry, Kiwi and Watermelon, Sweet Cherry, and Fruit Salad.

Icy Vapes

Icy vapes take classic flavours and add a menthol twist. You can keep it simple with a traditional Menthol Chill or try new flavours; we've got some excellent options that will wake you up immediately.

Fan favourites in the icy range include Raspberry Cherry Ice, Blackcurrant Ice, Cola Ice, and Red Ice.

Classic Flavours

If you quit smoking and waved goodbye to your nicotine cravings, but still miss those classic cigarette flavours, these blends are ideal for a non-nicotine vaping experience.

Previous menthol smokers will love the Mint Blast flavour, while Sweet Tobacco gives you that authentic flavour, without the chemicals from cigarettes. Another of our most popular flavours is Coffee Tobacco, which will reintroduce that morning cigarette and coffee routine.

Sweet and Dessert Flavours

Zero nicotine and no sugar make these flavours a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Based on your favourite sweets and desserts, you get all of the flavour with none of the bad stuff.

We have NY, which replicates the taste of a traditional New York cheesecake, Rhubarb & Strawberry, and Liquorice - for fans of strong flavours.

What About 0mg 10ml Vape Juice?

Because shortfill e-liquids are typically high in vegetable glycerine, they're not suitable for traditional pen and pod vape devices, which are mostly designed for mouth-to-lung vaping. These kits perform best with either 50/50 or High PG e-liquids, limiting your choices.

Here's the thing: some vape brands will have 0mg 10ml e-liquids, but these aren't a standard offering. Brands like Vampire Vape, Riot Squad and Ohm Brew offer some 0mg options in their popular flavours, but it depends on availability.

If you want to vape 10ml e-liquids, choosing a lower nicotine strength can be beneficial.

1mg E-Liquids

If you don't want to sacrifice your pen or pod vape kit, opting for a 1mg vape juice might suit you more than choosing 0mg shortfills. This strength is ideal for people who have stopped smoking and don't need to feel a nicotine hit.

The trace amount of nicotine is so small that most people won't even notice it, but you can enjoy more flexibility. For example, our 1mg flavours include Strawberry, Rolling Leaf, Raspberry Ripple, Menthol Chill, and one of our all-time bestsellers, 88Fusion.

Will Zero Nicotine Vapes Be Cheaper in 2026 Onwards?

It's something a lot of people are asking, thanks to the impending vape tax law changes, which will come into effect in October 2026. The Vaping Product Duty will add a flat rate of £2.20 plus VAT to each 10ml of e-liquid. Unfortunately, these taxes will apply to 0mg e-liquids too.

So, shortfills and larger bottles will witness the biggest increases, and that may influence your decision on which vape products to use. The new law won't apply to vape devices, and 88Vape is taking steps to keep our customers informed and help them manage the transition.
