zero nicotine - any trace amounts?

[kent]

Hello,

I'm thinking about trying e-cigarettes. I recently stopped smoking eclipse cigs after 8 years or more. I don't want any nicotine at all in my e-cig. Do the zero mg juices contain trace amounts of nicotine? I read on Altsmoke.com that their zero cartridges may contain traces of nic. I was thinking about getting the Johnson Creek zero nicotine or something like that. Just wanted to make sure that they really contain no nicotine.

Thanks

As e-juice, e-liquid or whatever you choose to call it is typically nicotine suspended in propylene glycol, I can't imagine why they'd add it to 0 nic just to take it back out again. PG itself doesn't have nicotine in it.

[edit] I'd stay away from any company claiming that their 0 nic could contain traces. It would seem to me that they may be purging and re-using carts.

thanks Walrus, that seems to make sense.

i'm just trying to find the DSE901 from somewhere right now. Puresmoker is not available right now. What's another company that people like on this forum for the 901's?

i checked out vaporguys.com

Unfortunately when I looked at their Johnson Creek Smoke Juice Zero it said there was .00000001mg of nicotine.

Ok i know that's not very much. I just don't want there to be any chance that I'll stay addicted to nicotine. I'm guessing that such a small mg is because they use the same equipment as their other juices and they can't guarantee no nicotine. Any thoughts on this? Do you think I'm just being worried for no good reason.

.........yes.

After thinking about it, it may be possible that 0 nic Tobacco flavors may have traces because they use (obviously) tobacco in them and can't eliminate it completely.

There are many other 0 nic flavors to choose from, and non-tobacco choices shouldn't have those traces in them. There are many satisfying options out there.

[edit] You can also make your own 0 nic liquids with little effort. You can buy gallon bottles of PG for around $22. Glycerine is cheap and readily available. Flavors are abundant through Lorann's (as well as others). It's cheaper than buying 0 nic liquid, and it's actually fun! Visit the DIY Liquid part of the forum, and check out some recipes.

[2nd edit] After discussing this with Rob, I'll offer props to Altsmoke for pointing out the possibility of trace amounts. Many don't take this step.

if you want a truly 0 nic juice make your own.

check the DIY liquid forum under tips and tricks

 

[kent]

thank you for all your ideas. that was good advice and i might very well end out making my own. but then again that amount of nicotine is pretty tiny. so kate's right, i'm probably just being worried for nothing.

Kent, I can't say for sure but I would bet that anything less than a mg spread out over a day won't have any impact on you physically.

Why am I thinking of that .05% beer??

Some people just have to be **** disturbers?? Don`t they??

Kent, Altsmoke have 901's in stock, I just bought one last night. Good price and great service from Rob.

Noob Question: so using the ecig with zero nicotine has no health hazards involved? I can't kick the habit of smoking, but didn't want to drag in nicotine into my lungs with e-cigarette either. Is the zero nicotine cartridge safe? Any health hazards/effects that I should be concerned with?

While PG and VG are considered safe, there hasn't been conclusive testing. Same with the various flavors do-it-yourselfers use. They are all safe for ingesting, but inhaling is new territory.

A Quick Update:

I ordered my e-cigarette from Rob at Altsmoke.com on Saturday morning. It actually arrived Monday morning. Now that is some fast service!

Also Rob has been very helpful and has answered all my questions very quickly.

When it comes to nicotine, there's no way to avoid it completely unless you avoid a bunch of different vegetables. Potatoes and eggplant both contain trace amounts of nicotine. Any plant in the nightshade family contains some nicotine.
