Zero Nicotine E-liquid

Zero nicotine refers to the nicotine strength of an e-liquid, in this case containing none. These are usually used by people who have scaled down their nicotine consumption to zero or who have made the immediate switch away from nicotine. Our shortfill e-liquids are also nicotine free but they have space for adding a nicotine shot if you choose. 

Nicotine free e-liquid allows you to enjoy all the fun of vaping without any nicotine content. To get the best out of your e-liquid flavours and vapour clouds, a 0mg nicotine e-liquid can be ideal.

For people trying to quit nicotine altogether or who want an occasional nicotine-free vape, these e-liquids are the perfect choice. 

If you want to add nicotine to these e-liquids, you can add a nicotine booster (also called a nic shot or nicotine shot) to your basket along with your chosen shortfill. It is important that nic shots are only added to shortfills as these provide a large enough volume for the nicotine to be diffused effectively. By mixing nicotine shots with your e-liquid, you can create vape juice with your ideal nicotine strength for a tailored vaping experience. 

Frequently asked questions

What is an e-liquid shortfill? 

Shortfills, also sometimes written as short fills, are a type of e-liquid with 0mg nicotine. A shortfill will often contain 50ml or 100ml e-liquid with some added space at the top for a nic shot. 

Shortfills became a popular type of vape liquid after the introduction of Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) regulations in 2017 which made it illegal to sell e-liquids with nicotine in bottles larger than 10ml in the UK and EU. To overcome this challenge, vape juice manufacturers started selling nicotine-free liquid in separate bottles to the 10ml nic shots, allowing vapers to mix the two themselves. 

We love shortfill e-liquids because they give you the freedom to add as much or as little nicotine as you like, taking full control of your vaping experience. 

What types of nicotine shots can I add to my shortfill? 

You can add any type of nic shot to your shortfill e-liquid if you want a nicotine hit. We have a wide range of nicotine shots available at Oxford Vapours, including nic salt shots such as the Zap! Nicotine Salt Booster and the Top Shot Nicotine Salt Booster. For a high PG booster, we have the Ohm Brew 100% PG Nicotine Booster, while the Zeus Juice Nicotine Booster or Top Shot Nicotine Booster is ideal for high VG fans. Menthol fans will enjoy the NicNic Nicotine Ice Booster - a nic shot with a cooling icy blast. 

How do I mix my nic shot with the shortfill e-liquid?

To mix the nicotine shot with your shortfill e-liquid, simply remove the shortfill's cap and squeeze the shot into the bottle. Replace the cap and shake well for 3-5 minutes. Most manufacturers recommend that once you have added a nic shot, you wait 24 hours for the nicotine to fully diffuse into the e-liquid. Once the mixture has settled, then it's ready to vape. 

What is an e-liquid concentrate?

You may have noticed that some of the vape liquids we stock are labelled concentrate, such as the Ohm Boy Wild Strawberry concentrate. These vape juices are smaller, stronger bottles of flavoured liquid that are designed to be used with a base mix and a booster shot. Unlike shortfill e-liquids, concentrates are not supposed to be vaped on their own and need to be mixed with a base made up of VG (Vegetable Glycerine) or PG (Propylene Glycol).  

Do nicotine-free e-liquids taste better than ones that contain nicotine?

Some vapers notice a subtle flavour difference between e-liquids with 0mg nicotine and those with a higher nicotine content. Although there is not a huge difference in flavour profile, some vape enthusiasts argue that nicotine-free vape juice can taste cleaner and better. 

Can vaping nicotine-free e-liquids help me quit smoking?

Vaping can be a great way to quit smoking - in fact studies have found that smokers who used vapes and face-to-face quit smoking support were twice as likely to quit successfully as those who used nicotine replacement products like gum or patches. 

Many ex-smokers choose to start out using nicotine-containing e-liquid in their vape. This can be an effective method to reduce cravings over time and reduce the likelihood of returning to cigarettes. 

On the other hand, if you want to quit smoking cold turkey, vaping 0mg nicotine e-liquids can be helpful. 

Everyone's journey to quit cigarettes is different so you have to do what's best for you - whether that's switching to vaping nicotine containing e-liquid or going completely nicotine free. 

Are nicotine free e-liquids suitable for sub-ohm vaping?

While not every nicotine-free vape juice has a high enough VG percentage for sub-ohm vaping, many 0mg e-liquids are suitable for it. Just make sure that you check the VG and PG ratio before purchasing the liquid. E-liquids with 70% or more VG are perfect for use in sub-ohm vape devices. 

Which e-liquid flavour should I choose? 

With a huge selection of nicotine free e-liquids available at Oxford Vapours, the choice can certainly be overwhelming! 

If you're a fan of a fruity vape, we recommend trying the Doozy Vape Strawberry Kiwi or the Forbidden Fruits Strawberry Cherry Raspberry Candy Slush flavours. Prefer a botanical flavour profile? You'll love the Ohm Boy Apple Elderflower & Garden Mint or Rhubarb and Ginger. 

Enjoy a sweet treat or dessert inspired vape? Try the Doozy Vape Raspberry Jam, Kingston Desserts New York Cheesecake, or the Joe's Juice Butterscotch Custard flavour e-liquids. Or, if you prefer a simpler classic flavours such as tobacco or menthol, try the Ruthless Iced Out, Ohm Brew Iced Menthol, or the Vampire Vape Smooth Tobacco. 

No matter your flavour preferences, you're sure to find some you love in our 50ml and 100ml shortfills. 

Does the amount of nicotine in my vape juice affect its throat hit?

Yes - nicotine-free juice will provide a mild throat hit. The sensation becomes stronger the higher the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid. If you don't enjoy the feeling of a strong throat hit, 0mg liquid is a good choice for you.
