Exploring Non-Nicotine Vapes: Flavor, CBD, and More
Are vapes available without nicotine and tobacco? This is a common question, especially among individuals seeking to enjoy vaping without the stimulant impact of nicotine. In this article, we will explore the various options available, including flavorings, CBD vapes, and herbal blends, while also addressing potential risks associated with vaping.
The Available Options for Nicotine-Free Vapes
;
Literally thousands of e-juice flavor ranges now offer a nicotine-free option. In recent years, it has become increasingly common to find flavor concentrates that are not just standard food flavorings, but can be mixed with propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) to create a custom vape mix.
Nicotine-Free Vapes and Their Uses
Nicotine is optional. I’ve personally mixed nicotine-free juices before and while they are still composed of PG, VG, and flavoring, the absence of nicotine can make them taste a little bland. For those who want to enjoy vaping without nicotine, these options are available and commonly used.
Options for non-nicotine vapes include:
Flavorings: E-liquids with various flavors but no nicotine content. CBD Cannabidiol: Vapes designed to deliver CBD, a non-intoxicating compound. Herbal Blends: Vapes that vaporize herbal extracts like chamomile or lavender without nicotine.It's essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with vaping. While non-nicotine vapes are available, it's important to seek professional advice if needed. Moreover, it's important to note that while nicotine vapes don't generally contain tobacco, they may still have a small amount of tobacco extract in tobacco flavors.
Zero-Nicotine E-Liquid Availability
Yes, zero-nicotine e-liquid is widely available in most brands. However, these options are often found in specialized vape shops. Convenience stores and gas stations typically sell vapes with nicotine, especially the pre-filled ‘pens’ and ‘all-in-one’ units.
Vegetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol (PG) for Custom Mixing
Of course, it’s possible to create custom mixes by diluting regular e-juice with nicotine. In the US, you can easily buy quart bottles of pure Vegetable Glycerin or Propylene Glycol to ensure they are food-grade or better. There is evidence that large amounts of PG heated and vaporized in industrial processes can pose a health hazard. Whether this applies to personal vapes is unknown, but it is still less hazardous than smoking tobacco.
Using vegetable glycerin to thin out nicotine e-juice can save money and allow more control over nicotine content. However, it will also thin out any flavorings. Most bottled flavored e-juice will contain a blend of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol in ratios of 60/40.
As seen in the discussion, the world of non-nicotine vapes is diverse and offers numerous options. Whether you are looking to enjoy flavorful vapes with nicotine-vaping friends, diluting regular e-juice with nicotine, or creating custom blends, there are plenty of choices available.
