Hello Bigboss! How are you all doing today? I hope you are always healthy, your affairs are smooth, and you are given ease in all your activities!

As time goes by, most medical experts now agree that e-cigarettes are much safer than conventional cigarettes, but many smokers who are thinking of switching still have some questions. One thing that (strangely) we often hear is a question that goes, "Is it safe to vape with nicotine-free liquid?"

For some of you, it might sound strange because, usually, most people claim that it's not safe to vape with nicotine-containing liquid, but this is the opposite. The excessive danger of this mild drug is one of the most frequently cited reasons why vaping is bad and should be controlled, even though, fundamentally, anything in excess is not good, depending on the user and ourselves. Some countries have even passed laws limiting nicotine content; in the EU, the strongest liquid that can be sold is 20 mg/ml, and in Australia, you cannot legally buy nicotine-containing liquid at all.

In fact, the "danger" of nicotine is mostly just an illusion. Yes, it is toxic in large doses, but the concentration and quantity in a liquid, even stronger ones found outside the EU, will not harm you. Nicotine doesn't even really create addiction when separated from other chemicals in tobacco smoke, so the alleged risk of vaping nicotine can be ignored.

So why are people concerned about the safety of nicotine-free vaping? That's actually a good question. Removing nicotine from the liquid certainly doesn't make it more toxic, but there are some legitimate questions to ask.

What's wrong with vaping with nicotine-free liquid?

Most vapers use nicotine-containing liquid, but not all do. If you use vaping as a way to quit smoking, or to avoid cigarettes, it might not be safe to vape with nicotine-free liquid. The possible risk has nothing to do with vaping; instead, you might find your vape not satisfying enough that you stop vaping and buy a pack of cigarettes. Before you know it, you'll be back to smoking in a few days, and that's definitely not safe.

Some ex-smokers who have switched to vaping may wish to stop using nicotine completely. There's no problem with that, but it's important not to do it too quickly. Reduce gradually, in small steps, and take your time. Most smokers who switch should start vaping with 24mg/ml liquid, or 18mg/ml if you're stuck with the EU's meaningless restrictions. After a few months, you can try reducing to 12mg/ml, then in a few months down to 6mg.

It seems slow, but remember that if you're an ex-smoker, your body is already accustomed to nicotine from the start. If you try to reduce to zero in a few months, you might fail, and there's a good chance you'll stop vaping and start smoking again. It's better to vape with high nicotine liquid for the rest of your life than to stop vaping and smoke for another month, because the amount of nicotine delivered by vaping will not harm you.

Many ex-smokers are happy to consistently use vape, and if that sounds like you, there's no point in trying to stop nicotine. Others see vaping as a halfway house, and in this case, it makes sense to gradually lower nicotine levels. The important thing is not to rush. If you want to lower nicotine to zero over a year, then reduce your vaping until you can stop completely after six months or so, that might be true.

Non-smoker issues

But what if you want to try vaping and you're not a smoker? It depends on why you want to try it. If you're tempted to try smoking, try vaping instead; it's a much safer alternative, and if you can divert yourself from burning tobacco, that's good news. In this case, why use nicotine if you've never consumed it?

On the other hand, if you want to start vaping because you want to try tricks, or you think tricks are cool, you'd better not bother. "Tricking" is not very impressive, and vaping won't turn you into a trick god. Most experts believe that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking, but even if the risk is very small, it's still probably not zero, so why expose yourself to them just so you can modify the vapor exhaled from your mouth for publication on YouTube?

However, if there is indeed a problem with nicotine-free vaping, it is most likely a problem for smokers who are reducing their fast. Unless you reduce nicotine very slowly, you will likely compensate with more intense vaping; you will get the same amount of nicotine by inhaling more liquid. If there are health problems with vaping, they are most likely related to flavorings, so why increase your vaping?

In the worst case, someone who drops their nicotine to zero can consume a lot of nicotine-free liquid to satisfy their cravings. That means they will inhale a lot of flavoring. However, is there any real risk in this? Theoretically, there might be some health effects from vaping flavors that could appear in twenty or thirty years. But is that likely? No, probably not.
