Best Nicotine Free Vape Kits UK | Vape Auraa

Nicotine free vape kits are rechargeable vape devices designed to run on 0mg liquid. The hardware is the same as in a nicotine kit. The strength comes from the liquid or pod, not the device. A 0mg vape kit, zero nicotine vape kit and nic free vape starter kit all describe the same thing.

The device does not determine nicotine strength; the liquid or prefilled pod does.

Without nicotine, the liquid is mostly propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG) and flavourings. PG carries flavour and gives a mild throat sensation. VG produces the visible vapour. Check each product page for the full ingredient list.

You can vape nicotine free in two ways. Use a sealed prefilled pod that already holds 0mg liquid, or fill a refillable kit with 0mg liquid yourself. Prefilled pods need no filling. Refillable kits offer wider flavour choice. You cannot add your own liquid to a sealed pod.

Prefilled 0mg pod kits

A prefilled kit pairs a rechargeable battery with a sealed pod of liquid. You swap the pod when it empties. Many pod ranges come in several strengths, so confirm the 0mg option on the product page before you order. Replacement pods only fit the device they were made for.

Refillable pod kits with 0mg liquid

A refillable pod kit has a pod that you fill through a fill port. Use only a compatible 0mg e-liquid at the recommended PG/VG ratio. Many low-power pod kits are designed for 50/50 liquid. Check the manufacturer’s recommended VG/PG ratio to avoid poor wicking or leakage.

Sub ohm and tank kits with 0mg shortfills

Sub ohm kits use coils below 1 ohm, so they heat fast and use liquid quickly. They suit thicker liquid, typically 70/30 VG to PG or higher. A shortfill is a large bottle sold at 0mg with room for a nicotine shot. At 0mg you add no shot, so the bottle works as supplied.

Bundle kits

A bundle packs a device with spare pods, coils or liquid. Contents differ by product, so read the box contents list on each page.

Nicotine free vape kit types compared

Match your kit to a 0mg liquid in our e liquids collection.

Yes. Single use vapes have been banned in the UK since 1 June 2025, and the ban covers nicotine free ones . Reusable kits are the legal route. A rechargeable device with a replaceable pod, or a refillable tank, now fills the role a disposable bar used to fill.

Disposable style kits in the 600 puff class pair a rechargeable battery with a prefilled pod. Larger formats pair a 2ml pod with a separate refill. Puff counts are manufacturer estimates. Your own draw length and habit change the real figure.

Charge by USB C and replace the pod when the flavour fades or the liquid runs out. Old single use devices still need recycling, not binning. See the recycling section below.

The ban covers nicotine free disposables as well as nicotine ones. Read the GOV.UK announcement on the single use vape ban.

Choose a kit by draw style first, then by how you want to fill it. Mouth to lung kits give a tighter draw. Direct to lung kits give an open draw and more vapour. After that, check battery size, coil supply and whether the kit suits the liquid you plan to use.

Mouth to lung or direct to lung?

Mouth to lung (MTL) means you draw vapour into your mouth first, then inhale. It uses higher resistance coils, typically 0.8 to 1.2 ohm, and low power, typically 10 to 30 watts. Direct to lung (DTL) means you inhale straight into your lungs. It uses coils below 1 ohm, often 0.15 to 0.6 ohm, and typically 40 watts or more.

MTL suits pod kits with thinner liquid. DTL suits sub ohm kits with thicker liquid.

Parts to check before you buy

• Battery: stores power, measured in mAh. A larger number usually runs longer between charges.
• Pod or tank: holds the liquid.
• Coil: the heated element that turns liquid into vapour. It is a consumable part.
• Wick: the cotton or mesh that feeds liquid to the coil.
• Airflow: a slider or ring that sets how tight or open the draw feels.
• Activation: draw activated kits fire when you inhale. Button fired kits fire when you press a button.
• Charging: most current kits charge by USB C.

Check pod and coil supply

Confirm that replacement pods or coils exist before you buy a device. A kit with no spare parts becomes waste once the first coil wears out. Check the compatibility line on the product page.

Find spares in our vape pods collection and accessories collection.

These brands make refillable pod, pen or tank kits that work with 0mg liquid. Each brand designs its own pods and coils, so parts rarely swap between brands. Check the compatibility line on every product page before you buy spares.

Match 0mg liquid to your kit by PG and VG ratio. Pod and starter kits usually suit 50/50. Sub ohm kits usually suit 70/30 or higher VG. Follow the manufacturer’s advice, because thick liquid in a small pod coil causes dry hits and leaks.

A shortfill is a large bottle, commonly 50ml or 100ml, sold at 0mg with headroom for a nicotine shot. A 100ml shortfill typically sits in a 120ml bottle. A 10ml bottle suits small pod kits and travel.

At 0mg you add no nicotine shot, so a shortfill works as supplied.

Nicotine salt and freebase describe how nicotine is added to liquid. Neither applies at 0mg. Higher VG liquid makes denser vapour. Higher PG liquid gives a stronger throat sensation and thinner flow.

Fruit, ice, menthol, mint, cola and tobacco style flavours all come in 0mg. Without nicotine, flavour carries the experience, so many adults choose by taste profile first. Range varies by brand, so check each liquid or pod page for the 0mg option.

Profiles in the catalogue include watermelon ice, strawberry kiwi, triple mango, fresh mint and menthol. Mint and menthol add a cooling sensation. They do not replace the throat hit that nicotine gives.

Some sweetened flavour formulations can leave residue on coils, which may shorten coil life. Expect to change coils sooner with sweet liquids. Flavour rules may change, because the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 gives ministers powers over flavours.

Buy from a UK registered seller and read the strength on the label. Treat products with no ingredient list or no importer details with caution. A label alone cannot prove the contents. National Trading Standards has found nicotine in products sold as nicotine free.

In March 2025, National Trading Standards published tests on 76 products sold as nicotine free. 13.2 percent contained nicotine, in amounts from 0.06 mg/ml to 27.02 mg/ml. Read the National Trading Standards warning.

Signs worth a second look:

• No ingredient list on the box or product page.
• No brand or importer contact details.
• A strength that is not printed clearly.
• A price far below similar products.

No. Nicotine free does not mean risk free. A 0mg liquid has no intentionally added nicotine, but you still inhale an aerosol made from PG, VG and flavourings. Long term effects are still being studied. Adults who do not smoke or vape should not start.

Some adults notice dry mouth, throat irritation or coughing. Some react to PG or certain flavourings. Stop using a kit that causes symptoms and speak to a pharmacist or GP.

Early laboratory research suggests that vape liquid without nicotine can still affect cells. Treat 0mg as lower in one respect, not as harmless. This page does not describe any kit as safe or healthier.

A nicotine free vape kit is not a stop smoking product and not a medicine. It contains no nicotine, so it does not replace nicotine for an adult who smokes. Adults who want to stop smoking can ask an NHS stop smoking service for support. 

A 0mg kit also keeps the hand to mouth routine. An adult who wants to stop vaping altogether should know that a 0mg kit may keep that routine going. This page makes no claim that a nicotine free kit helps anyone stop smoking or vaping.

Who nicotine free kits suit

• Adult vapers who want flavour and vapour without nicotine.
• Adults who are lowering nicotine strength in stages and keeping the same device.

No outcome is promised for either group.

Who they do not suit

• People under 18. Buying a vape for someone under 18 is an offence. These kits are not gifts for under 18s.
• People who do not smoke or vape. There is no reason to start.
• People who are pregnant. Speak to a GP or midwife.
• Anyone with a lung or heart condition. Ask a GP or pharmacist first.

Many adults lower nicotine strength in stages and keep the same kit, so only the liquid changes. Liquid strengths are sold in steps, with 20mg/ml the UK maximum and 0mg/ml the lowest. This describes a common habit. It is not a recommendation and not medical advice. No outcome is promised.

Keeping the same kit, coil and flavour holds the draw constant, so strength is the only change. Adults who smoke can ask an NHS stop smoking service about support.

Vaping Products Duty started on 1 October 2026 at £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid. It applies to nicotine free liquid too. If the full duty cost is passed through and subject to 20% VAT, this represents £2.64 per 10ml including VAT on that duty amount. Retail prices also include supplier cost and margin.

Duty applies to liquid made in or imported into the UK from 1 October 2026. Prefilled pods and kits that ship with liquid count by liquid volume. A 2ml prefilled pod carries about 44p of duty before VAT. 

As of October 2026, products made or imported from 1 October 2026 typically need a duty stamp on retail packaging. From 1 April 2027, all vaping products sold in the UK must carry a valid stamp. A transition period typically lets older stock sell without one. Read the HMRC and GOV.UK announcement.

Adults aged 18 and over can buy nicotine free vape kits in the UK. Under the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026, selling vapes without nicotine to under 18s becomes an offence from 29 October 2026. Buying a vape for someone under 18 is also an offence.

The Act received Royal Assent on 29 April 2026. The Act includes restrictions on vape advertising and sponsorship, with commencement dependent on the relevant provisions. It also gives ministers powers over flavours, packaging, display, device features and a retail licensing scheme. Several powers need further regulations, so details may change. Fixed penalties of £200 apply to some offences, including underage sales.

Where UK rules limit vaping and carrying a kit

• London: vaping is not allowed across the TfL network.
• Trains: most UK rail services ban vaping on board and in stations.
• Flights: airlines require kits and spare batteries in hand luggage, and ban use and charging on board.
• Hospitals, schools and many workplaces run smoke free site policies that often include vaping.

The Act allows government to create vape free places in future. Check local signs and site rules.

Charge the battery fully, fit or fill your pod, wait five to ten minutes, then take gentle first draws. The wait lets the wick soak up liquid, so a new coil does not burn. Use the cable supplied or one the manufacturer approves.

1. Charge the kit by USB C until the indicator shows full.
2. Fit the pod or coil and check that the seal sits flush.
3. Fill to the marked line only. Overfilling is the main cause of leaks.
4. Prime a replaceable coil by putting a few drops of liquid on the exposed wick before you fill.
5. Wait five to ten minutes, then start with short draws at low power.

Wait five to ten minutes after filling before the first draw. Draw activated kits fire when you inhale. Button fired kits fire when you press the button.

Most faults come from a worn or dry coil, a liquid that is too thick or too thin for the kit, or an overfilled pod. Check those three first. Change the coil if the taste turns burnt, and wipe the pod base if liquid collects there.

• Burnt taste: the coil is worn, dry or was never primed. It tastes like scorched toast with a harsh edge. Change the coil and prime the new one.
• Dry hit: the wick is not soaked, or the liquid is low. Refill and wait five minutes.
• Gurgling: condensation or overfilling. Tilt the kit, clear the airflow and wipe the mouthpiece.
• Leaking: the pod is overfilled, the seal is loose, or the liquid is the wrong thickness. A leaking pod leaves a wet, sticky film on the base.
• Flat flavour: the coil is spent or the liquid is low. Sweet liquids age coils faster.
• No vapour or no firing: the battery is flat or the contacts are dirty. Charge it and wipe the contacts.

A coil typically lasts one to three weeks of daily use, and less with sweet liquids. A burnt taste means change the coil, not turn the power up.

Never put a vape kit in a household bin or ordinary recycling. The lithium battery can start fires in bin lorries and sorting plants. Take it to a council household waste recycling centre or a retailer takeback point. Battery care:

• Charge with the supplied cable or one the manufacturer approves.
• Stop using a battery that is swollen, hot or damaged.
• Keep kits, pods and liquid away from children and pets.
• Carry spare removable batteries in a case, never loose with keys or coins.

Do not leave a charging kit unattended or charge it overnight.
