Can you vape without having nicotine in it? Is it even worth trying this at all just for the flavor/experience? I haven't smoked and don't want to smoke but today my colleague from worked vaped and the smell of it was like smoking some sweets, it smelled lovely too.

dont bother we are all ex smokers, i wouldnt bother if i wasnt addicted to nicotine.

I'm doing it. I'll barely use the thing, but it seems like a great way to cut down on sugar as after an inhale or two, the craving is gone with the right liquid. 30ml will last me months. I will add I got to try a few different liquids first with very low nicotine plus was given a kit cheap.

pretty much this, i'm aware it's a thing people do but honestly its not worth it.
the flavours are really for trying to tempt you off the stinkies, and tbf for most folk seems like that works.
I've bought the coolfire IV plus storm edition
Its been about 4 days since i touched the stinky analogs but I'm honestly getting deluded with it right at the moment.
I don't know if its the unit itself, the 0.5 ohm coils and i should try a 0.2ohm or the wattage - running at 35w
Or if its the e liquid I'm using as I've tried various makes "Hollywood" was just rubbish from the local vape shop. Then i tried "www3" which the wife found at a local market and tbh that one was ok with a decent throat hit but since the market only runs each week then I've resorted to another vape shop and bought two 30ml 70/30 mix one is a vimto and the other refreshers taste.
Neither seems to be hitting the spot and as the last was a cappuccino/tobacco mix and i found that to be pretty decent.
Anyone recommend a retailer for finding the coffee/tobacco or give me any suggestions on how to make it more appealing and keep me away from the analogs awhile longer as i have been with this unit for the last 2 weeks and although i did smoke 30 over the course of a weekend I'm actually preferring the vape to smoking.

Finding juice is a tricky one, try novavapes, their juices are all pretty good (leave the custard a while before using it though)
Theres also jackamoo, i cant comment based on personal experience (first batch is on its way) but its been cropping up here often enough to seem popular.
If your after throat hit then higher pg might be better, gives a sharper flavour wheras vg makes it creamy and smooth, 50/50 is a good for that.

Im currently buying from Jackamoo, Rejuiced (needs at least 2 weeks steeping) and Hodges home brew, have tried a lot of premium juices and £15 for 30ml just isnt worth it.
I started off vaping menthol but have slowly been drawn to the cake flavours, id say get a 10 batch of 10ml of different flavours from somewhere and try to find a couple you like. It will give you an idea of the sort of flavour you want and then its a case of shopping around online to get a decent supplier.

I do on occasion, using the 0mg stuff. Exact same as yourself, working all day with guys using them and some of the flavours were very nice. I don't carry it around the way they would as an alternative to ordinary cigs but maybe take a few puffs to put a bit of flavour in my mouth if I was in the house watching a film or something. I don't want it to become something I get attached to so use it fairly conservatively, never around family etc...
If you're an adult, enjoy the flavours and are aware that as much as it's better than smoking it likely isn't doing you any good then it's your call.

Depends on the flavour, on my tfv4 mini ive been just topping up with the next flavour when it gets low, but then the stuff ive been using doesnt gunk coils (had the current going for near 2 months now which is amazing by my standards).
A lot of the premium american flavours will gunk up any coil quickly regardless of how well you treat it. (Ive had them able to kill a coil inside a day with no flavour changes at all)
An ultrasonic cleaner will remove the taste of the old flavour from a good coil, but its limited at de-gunking.
If you just want to swap between 2 or 3 flavours on a daily basis then having a coil on the go for an individual juice (personally i just have 2 e cigs in general) and keep them being fed the same juice.
Glad to hear its got you off the stinkies though, good vaping kit really helps speed up the process.
Just for giggles how long does juice last you?
I currently have 2 30ml bottles and getting through 2.5 thanks a day think they are 2.5ml tanks on the isub G
Vaping the thing like crazy while i sit at the computer gaming = die= take a vape..... repeat its soon gone i think its because I'm not getting that throat hit with these variants of juice so got the mrs to pop to market and see what she can find. Did cost me a new pair of shoes however

depends, atm i'm going through a lot as i have a tfv4 and a vcmt as daily carry, so maybe 15-20ml a day?
thats on 1.5mg though, i tend to reduce vapour volume then jump back up in volume and down in nicotine for a smoother transition, so generally my primary goes vcmt>tfv4>subtank>nautillis>back to vcmt on lower nic
i've started mixing it up and vaping some 0mg in the evenings too after having got some 0mg sour fruit crush from novavapes by mistake.
Got the mrs to get me some 0.3mg nicotine one a tobacco flavour the other a latte flavour both from make "www3" which are highly recommended if you can find where they stock them. Good throat hit and makes you feel like you've had that sensation the dirty sticks give you.
Not sure on 0.3mg though but it will help wean me off altogether i think.

I quit smoking nearly 3 years ago, in January my dad was diagnosed with a high grade very aggressive cancer.. Took everything in my power to not go and buy a pack of cigs...
Instead of bought a vape, i only vape at 0.3mg-0.6mg nicotene and it works great for me. I will stop eventually but i'm enjoying it

Youll get to the stage you'll try a stinky and hate it, that day is a good day
edit: also, buy a backup, the day a mod dies is a panick no man needs

You most certainly can.
A few friends who quit smoking decades ago took up vaping 0% Nic because they miss the clouds and the pipe tobacco flavours.
Very few people do take it up, but it does happen...

Vape mail!
Rx2/3, some batteries, xtar 4 bay charger, 22&32awg wire, and my order from jackamoo.
Only tried the blue slush thus far, but i am mightily impressed, and they included a few free samples with the order too. Waiting for batteries to charge before trying out the rx with the new paralells claptons in the vcmt.
Tl;dr this week gon' be gud
