Can You Vape a Longfill Without Adding Nicotine
Can you vape
a longfill without
adding nicotine?
The short answer is yes. The slightly longer answer is that you still need a base to complete the mix. Here is how to vape a Nixer longfill at 0mg, who the zero-nicotine route suits best plus why the 0mg Freebase Mixer Kit exists.
Yes. Every UK longfill can be vaped nicotine-free by pairing it with a 0mg Mixer Kit. For Nixer this is the 0mg Freebase 50/50 kit which contains three 10ml bottles of zero-nicotine 50/50 base. You still need to add all three bottles plus shake for a full minute because the concentrate on its own is too thick plus too strongly flavoured to vape unmixed. What changes compared with a nicotine version is only the shots. The rest of the process is identical.
Three numbers
behind a zero-nicotine longfill
A nic-free Nixer follows the same format as any other longfill. Only the content of the three Mixer Kit bottles changes.
Finished nicotine
A Nixer 0mg kit produces 60ml of finished e-liquid with no nicotine whatsoever.
Mixer bottles still needed
You cannot skip the three bottles. They provide the base liquid that dilutes the concentrate.
Standard VG/PG ratio
Nixer 0mg ships as 50/50 which suits pod plus MTL devices. Higher VG is available as a request.
Yes you can vape a 0mg longfill. No you cannot skip the Mixer Kit.
The 30ml of concentrate inside a longfill is a double-strength PG-based flavour bomb. It is formulated on the assumption that it will be diluted 1:1 by a base liquid before it ever touches a coil. Vaping it neat would produce something closer to a mouthful of flavour syrup than an e-liquid. The coil would flood, the wick would stain brown within minutes plus the throat hit would be genuinely unpleasant.
This is true whether you want nicotine or not. The concentrate is not a finished product. It is one half of a finished product. The other half is either a nicotine-containing base or a nicotine-free base. Both are delivered inside the Mixer Kit. Nixer sells a dedicated 0mg Freebase 50/50 Mixer Kit that contains three 10ml bottles of zero-nicotine 50/50 base. Add the three bottles to your longfill, shake for a minute, rest if needed plus vape.
The result tastes almost identical to a nicotine-containing version of the same flavour. The only differences are no throat hit plus no nicotine absorption. Flavour balance, cloud production, mouthfeel plus steeping behaviour are all the same.
Who actually chooses 0mg longfills?
In our experience at Dispergo there are three common profiles. None of them are unusual plus all are supported by UK law:
- Step-down vapers. Working through 9mg, 6mg, 3mg plus finally 0mg as the last stage of a stop-vaping plan.
- Social vapers. Enjoy the ritual, flavour plus cloud production but do not want nicotine in their system.
- Paired users. Alternate between a nicotine-containing longfill plus a 0mg version of the same flavour to reduce daily intake.
How most vapers
reach 0mg
A typical step-down path from strong freebase nicotine through to zero over four Mixer Kit swaps. Each stage takes as long as feels comfortable.
Four Mixer Kits, one flavour, zero maths
Start where your body is already comfortable. Switch to the next kit down only when the current strength stops satisfying a craving. There is no fixed timeline.
Three common reasons
to skip the nicotine
The final stop on a quit plan
You have spent months moving from 9mg to 6mg to 3mg. The last step to 0mg is psychological as much as physical. Keeping the same flavour you already enjoy removes one variable so the change feels smaller.
The ritual without the stimulant
You enjoy the flavour, the cloud production plus the mouthfeel. You never wanted the nicotine dependence. A 0mg longfill gives you everything you liked about vaping with none of the stimulant effects.
Rotating between strengths
You keep a 6mg Nixer for mornings plus a 0mg version of the same flavour for late evenings. Total daily nicotine intake drops without losing the vape experience at any point in the day.

What you gain plus
what you give up
Zero-nicotine vaping is not free of trade-offs. A clean look at both sides.
Upsides of a 0mg longfill
- ✓No nicotine dependence. None of the physical withdrawal profile between vapes.
- ✓Full flavour experience. Taste, mouthfeel plus cloud production are unchanged.
- ✓Any finished volume is legal. Zero-nicotine liquid is not subject to the 10ml TPD limit.
- ✓Works with every device. Pod, MTL or sub-ohm depending on your kit choice.
- ✓Smooth inhale. No throat scratch means longer puff sessions are easier on the lungs.
Downsides to know
- ✗No craving suppression. If you are still smoking a 0mg vape will not satisfy nicotine cravings.
- ✗Less throat hit feedback. Some users miss the “satisfying” feel of the kick.
- ✗Easier to over-vape. The absence of throat hit can lead to puffing more than needed.
- ✗Not a good starting point. New vapers usually need some nicotine to stop craving cigarettes.
- ✗PG plus VG still inhaled. 0mg is not zero-chemical. You are still vaping propylene glycol plus vegetable glycerin.
