Nicotine-free puff: the principle
A nicotine-free puff is a simple, no-settings e-cigarette used with 0 mg/ml e-liquid. Since disposable models were banned in France, current puffs have a USB-C rechargeable battery and a tank or cartridge that can be replaced: they are designed for long-term use, allowing you to choose your e-liquid and nicotine strength, all the way down to zero.
This page brings together over 200 products available in a 0 mg version: rechargeable puffs supplied with nicotine-free e-liquids, cartridge pods and compatible prefilled cartridges, from several vaping brands: JNR, Fighter Fuel, Wilo, Liquideo (Wpuff), Elfbar, Pulp, Kiwi Vapor, E.Tasty, X-Bar and Aspire. On product pages offering several strengths, the 0 mg option can be selected when choosing your product.
Who are nicotine-free puffs for?
- vapers who have gradually reduced their nicotine strength to 0 mg/ml and want to keep using the same device;
- former smokers who have quit cigarettes, completed their nicotine withdrawal and wish to retain the act of vaping;
- vapers who mainly enjoy flavours and the vaping experience, without nicotine;
- occasional users looking for a practical, no-settings product.
A nicotine-free puff remains a vaping product: with or without nicotine, these products are intended for adults only and are not aimed at people who have never smoked cigarettes.
Rechargeable puffs available without nicotine
A rechargeable puff comes as a kit with one or more bottles of e-liquid to pour into its tank. In the nicotine-free version, these bottles contain 0 mg/ml.
JNR ZPluse 42K: two flavours in one puff
The JNR ZPluse 42K features two 10 ml tanks, each with its own 0.6-ohm mesh coil: simply rotate the mouthpiece to switch from one flavour to another. A 1200 mAh USB-C rechargeable battery provides around 42,000 puffs with the two supplied bottles. Five flavour duos are available without nicotine, including Cherry Ice & Cherry Watermelon Freeze (iced cherry, cherry and watermelon).
JNR Gorilla X 43K: the replaceable cartridge
The JNR Gorilla X 43K is available in 20 mg/ml nicotine salts or without nicotine. It has a 1000 mAh battery with a screen, a dual mesh coil and a replaceable cartridge with a transparent tank: when the coil wears out, simply replace the cartridge and keep the battery. Up to 43,000 puffs, in around fifteen flavours: Strawberry Ice (iced strawberry), Summer Peach Ice (iced peach), Watermelon Ice (iced watermelon), Blueberry Sour Raspberry (blueberry and tangy raspberry)…
JNR Falcon Gem+ 30K: compact, with a screen
The JNR Falcon Gem+ 30K combines a 950 mAh battery, a screen showing the remaining charge and a draw similar to that of a cigarette. Up to 30,000 puffs, available nicotine-free or in 20 mg/ml.
All 0 mg puffs from the brand are grouped on the nicotine-free JNR puff page, while the full range can be found on the JNR puff page.
Fighter X 32K: the Fighter Fuel puff
The Fighter X 32K features recipes from Fighter Fuel, the e-liquid manufacturer (Shigeri, Ushiro, Mawashi…). It has a 1000 mAh USB-C rechargeable battery, delivers up to 32,000 puffs and comes in three strengths: 0, 10 or 20 mg/ml.
Wilo Boost 12K: the lightweight format
The Wilo Boost 12K is available in 0, 10 or 20 mg/ml. It has an 850 mAh battery, a 2 ml prefilled tank and a 10 ml reserve, for around 12,000 puffs. Flavours: cherry raspberry, iced blueberry, dragon fruit, guava kiwi, red berries or fresh mint.
Nicotine-free pods and prefilled cartridges
Among the available options, cartridge pods are the simplest. A rechargeable battery holds prefilled cartridges that are replaced when empty, with no bottle to handle. This is the most convenient way to vape without nicotine while changing flavours frequently, as each cartridge can have its own flavour.
- Liquideo's Wpuff 12K: made in France, these cartridges contain 14 ml of 50/50 PG/VG e-liquid, are available in 0 mg and come in 12 flavours, including Apple Pear Mango, Iced Apple, Iced Peach, Big Strawberry, Watermelon, Blueberry Raspberry and Red Berries. They clip onto the Wpuff battery.
- Elfbar's Elfa Pro: 2 ml cartridges in 0, 10 or 20 mg, with around twenty flavours (Apple Peach, Iced Strawberry, Watermelon, Blueberry, Red Berries, Cherry Watermelon…) for the Elfa Pro or Elfa Turbo battery.
- Kiwi Vapor's Kiwi Go+: 2 ml cartridges in 0, 10 or 20 mg, with fruity “Ice” flavours (Watermelon Ice, Strawberry Ice, Mango Ice, Blueberry Ice) and several tobacco flavours.
- Pulp: cartridges for the Pod Switch and Pod Slim, featuring French recipes: Iced Cherry, Iced Mango, Iced Watermelon Lemon, Iced Red Berries, Peach Tea, Dragon Fruit…
- Pod Easy by E.Tasty, Click & Puff by X-Bar and Nexi One by Aspire: other cartridge systems available in 0 mg, from iced strawberry kiwi to dragon fruit.
Compatible batteries and cartridges can also be found in the prefilled pods section.
The most common 0 mg flavours
Without nicotine, flavour becomes the main selection criterion. The recipes available in 0 mg are mainly fruity, often in an iced version (the term “Ice” refers to a cooling sensation at the end of the puff):
- red berries: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, cherry;
- summer fruits: watermelon, peach, melon, apple;
- exotic fruits: mango, dragon fruit, passion fruit, guava, kiwi;
- freshness: spearmint, lime mint;
- sweet and tobacco: candyfloss, cola, classic blond tobacco flavours.
Puff or pod: how to choose?
Both options are suitable for nicotine-free vaping; the choice depends on how you use it:
- Refillable puff (JNR, Fighter X, Wilo): high capacity, from 12,000 to 43,000 puffs depending on the model, and the freedom to choose your e-liquids once the supplied bottles are empty. You simply need to refill the tank from time to time.
- Cartridge pod (Wpuff, Elfa Pro, Kiwi Go+, Pulp): no e-liquid to pour, a new coil with every cartridge, and the option to alternate flavours. Capacity is lower, from 2 to 14 ml per cartridge.
In both cases, the battery recharges via USB-C and the device activates when you inhale: a simple vaping experience, with no button or power settings.
Which e-liquid should you use to refill a nicotine-free puff?
Once the original bottles are empty, a rechargeable puff can be filled with e-liquids of your choice. To stay nicotine-free, choose a 0 mg/ml e-liquid, preferably with a 50/50 PG/VG ratio: this ratio is suitable for puff coils and delivers flavours well.
Made in France, the Puff Attack range features the most popular puff flavours: mango, iced watermelon, red berries, cherry cola… It is available in nicotine-free 50 ml bottles and in 10 ml nicotine salt bottles (5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/ml) for those reducing their strength in stages.
Gradually reducing to nicotine-free vaping
Many vapers reach nicotine-free puffs in stages: 20 mg/ml, then 10, then 5 mg/ml, before moving to 0. With a rechargeable puff, you keep the same device and the same flavours at every stage: only the e-liquid changes. Elfa Pro and Kiwi Go+ cartridges, as well as the Fighter X, are available in 20, 10 and 0 mg and work in the same way: simply choose a lower strength with your next order.
Frequently asked questions about nicotine-free puffs
Is a nicotine-free puff really 0 mg?
Yes, when its e-liquid is rated at 0 mg/ml: this is the strength shown on the product page, bottle or cartridge. If you refill your puff yourself, it is the strength of the e-liquid you choose that matters.
How long does a rechargeable nicotine-free puff last?
Depending on the model, the stated puff count ranges from around 12,000 to more than 40,000. As the battery is rechargeable and the tank can be refilled, actual lifespan mainly depends on coil wear; coils are replaceable on cartridge models.
Does the flavour differ without nicotine?
The recipes are the same. Nicotine mainly provides a sensation in the throat (the “hit”): at 0 mg, it is lighter and the flavours stand out more.
Can you switch from one brand to another?
Yes for e-liquids: a refillable puff accepts most 0 mg/ml e-liquids, regardless of brand. No for cartridges: each pod only works with cartridges from its own range (Wpuff with Wpuff, Elfa Pro with Elfa Pro…).
What is the difference compared with an e-cigarette?
A puff requires no settings: no button and no power to select. A classic e-cigarette offers more possibilities (coils, power, large tank) but requires a little more maintenance. For vapers who have stopped smoking cigarettes and are primarily looking for simplicity, a puff remains the most convenient vaping option.
