Wait, aside from THC vapes what other nicotine free vapes are there? I'm assuming they're for people trying to quit?

There are many options that are the same flavor as a regular nicotine vape, but they're 0mg nicotine. Yes, for people quitting, or for people who just like vape but not nicotine.

That's kinda neat actually. Prolly still not great for your lungs though lol, and I say this as a stoner

I vaped 0 nicotine with peppermint flavor for about a year or so after I tapered down from the highest possible nicotine I could find using a box mod.

I've only been completely off the vape now for about 2 months but I allowed myself about 6 years to eventually work down to the 0 nicotine mix and I feel zero negative effects on my lungs. (Anecdotal, of course.)

I really only finally quit because I lost my favorite vape and decided I didn't really miss it all that much.

I definitely feel it on my lungs, but it's not anywhere near as damaging as cigarettes were.
