More and more e-cigarette users are seeking the sensory experience of nicotine-free e-cigarettes, indicating a willingness to transition to a healthier lifestyle.


The data indicates that more consumers are taking control of their e-cigarette habits, whether it's to reduce nicotine dependence or simply to enjoy nicotine-free e-cigarettes. At Vape Superstore, we are seeing a strong shift towards the 0mg option and anticipate that this trend will continue as awareness of nicotine-free alternatives increases.


With the upcoming ban on disposable e-cigarettes in the UK, we anticipate that more e-cigarette users will reconsider their vaping habits and explore nicotine-free options. Many users of disposable products may switch to reusable devices and e-cigarette liquid. We have already seen an increase in interest in 0 milligram alternatives.

Research Brief | IMiracle, Hongfu & SYSU: Nicotine Lactate E-Liquids May Accelerate Coil Corrosion and Nickel Release
A new study in Chemical Research in Toxicology reports that e-liquids formulated with 2% nicotine lactate can corrode nickel–chromium heating coils and increase nickel (Ni) leaching into both the e-liquid and aerosol. Compared with a 2% nicotine benzoate control, nicotine lactate was associated with higher Ni levels in bench tests, greater intracellular Ni accumulation and cytotoxicity in three human cell lines, and elevated Ni deposition in mouse tissues after sub-chronic inhalation.

The experts argue that the EU’s stance that “non-combustible nicotine products carry risks comparable to cigarettes” contradicts scientific evidence.
