Liquids & ingredients
Nicotine-free liquid
Nicotine-free liquid is e-cigarette fluid with a declared nicotine content of 0 mg/ml. It may still contain PG, VG and flavourings; therefore, nicotine-free describes only that component and does not mean generally risk-free.
01
Classification
Nicotine-free liquid describes a liquid format – the way a product is bottled, dosed or finished before use. Format and container size are directly linked to labelling obligations and the permitted nicotine strength. With Nicotine-free liquid, the order matters: clarify the technical meaning first, then compare products – doing it the other way round causes most mistaken purchases.
02
Practical relevance
When buying, Nicotine-free liquid decides how much preparation is required and how long a product can sensibly be stored. The format also determines how precisely a desired nicotine strength can be reached at all. Precisely because Nicotine-free liquid is usually abbreviated in product descriptions, the manual is worth more attention than the packaging.
03
Handling it safely
Always store products in Nicotine-free liquid form sealed, out of children's reach and away from food. Decanting into unlabelled containers is a common cause of mix-ups and must be avoided. Store everything related to Nicotine-free liquid out of reach of children and pets – including empty or seemingly harmless parts.

Not to be confused with
Nicotine-free liquid is most often confused with High-VG liquid, occasionally also with Base liquid – even though the three answer different questions. In practice: when a source uses Nicotine-free liquid, first check whether it means the word technically or as marketing language.
