ZERO Nicotine Disposables: What Changes and What Stays
the same device, the same e-liquid, the same puff rating, and a label that reads 0%
5 min read
Key Takeaways
- A ZERO Nicotine disposable keeps the maker's puff rating: the RAZ LTX 25K ZERO and the Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K are both rated at 25,000 puffs.
- the e-liquid stays the same size as the 5% version, 16mL on the RAZ LTX and 18mL on the Pulse X.
- The strength on the label drops from 5% to 0%, and that is the only change in the e-liquid.
- The hardware carries over: the RAZ LTX 25K ZERO keeps the 800mAh battery, dual mesh coil, adjustable airflow and USB-C port of the 5% model.
A ZERO Nicotine disposable is the same device as its 5% sibling, filled with e-liquid that contains no nicotine. The puff rating, the e-liquid and the hardware stay as the maker built them, and only the strength on the label changes, from 5% to 0%.
That sounds simple, and it is, but the question comes up at the counter every week in a slightly different form. Does the ZERO version last as long? Is the e-liquid smaller? Does it charge the same way? This explainer answers those questions with the two ZERO disposables we list on DirectVape, the RAZ LTX 25K ZERO and the Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K.
What ZERO Nicotine Means on the Label
A regular disposable in this class is filled with nicotine salt e-liquid at 5% strength. The salt form is what gives the inhale its throat hit, and it is the reason a 5% device feels the way it does on the first draw.
A ZERO version is filled with the same style of e-liquid with the nicotine left out. The label reads 0%, and the device is otherwise built on the same line as the 5% model. On this channel we write the strength as ZERO Nicotine, the way the makers print it, so you can tell the two versions apart at a glance.
What Stays the Same
The puff rating stays. The RAZ LTX 25K ZERO is rated by RAZ at 25,000 puffs, the same figure as the regular LTX 25K, and the Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K is rated by Geek Bar at 25,000 puffs, matching the regular Pulse X. Nicotine has nothing to do with how many puffs a fill yields, so the makers publish one rating for both versions.
the e-liquid stays. The RAZ LTX holds 16mL in both versions, and the Pulse X holds 18mL in both versions. A ZERO disposable is not a smaller device with less e-liquid, which is the most common assumption we hear.
The hardware stays. On the RAZ LTX 25K ZERO the catalog lists the same 800mAh rechargeable battery, dual mesh coil, adjustable airflow and USB-C charging as the 5% model. You charge it the same way and you set the draw the same way.
What Changes
The strength changes, and with it the feel of the inhale. Nicotine salt is what gives a 5% disposable its throat hit, so expect the ZERO version to feel softer on the inhale even though the flavor name on the box is the same.
The flavor list can also differ. A ZERO line often carries fewer flavors than the 5% line, so a flavor you like at 5% may not exist at 0%. Check the flavor picker on each product page before you assume the ZERO version comes in your usual flavor.
Nothing else changes. The charging port, the body and the shape are decisions the maker made once for the whole line, and the ZERO version inherits them.
The Two ZERO Disposables We List
| Product | Strength | Puff Rating | E-Liquid | Battery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAZ LTX 25K ZERO | 0% | 25,000 | 16mL | 800mAh |
| RAZ LTX 25K | 5% | 25,000 | 16mL | 800mAh |
| Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K | 0% | 25,000 | 18mL | see the 5% listing |
| Geek Bar Pulse X 25K | 5% | 25,000 | 18mL | 820mAh |
RAZ LTX 25K ZERO
This is the 0% version of the LTX 25K, and the catalog lists every hardware line the same: 25,000 puffs, a 16mL of e-liquid, an 800mAh battery, a dual mesh coil, adjustable airflow and USB-C charging. If you already own the 5% LTX 25K, the ZERO version will feel familiar in the hand and on the charger.
Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K
This is the 0% version of the Pulse X, rated by Geek Bar at 25,000 puffs from 18mL of e-liquid. The regular Geek Bar Pulse X 25K lists an 820mAh battery, a dual mesh coil and adjustable airflow; for the ZERO version we list the puff rating and the e-liquid, and we read the rest from the 5% page rather than guess.
Which One for You
Pick the RAZ LTX 25K ZERO if you want the full hardware list written down, including the 800mAh battery and adjustable airflow, or if you already know the LTX draw. Pick the Geek Bar Pulse X ZERO 25K if you want the larger 18mL of e-liquid at the same 25,000 puff rating, or if the Geek Bar flavor you like exists in the ZERO line.
Either way, choose ZERO Nicotine because you want the flavor and the draw without nicotine, and choose the 5% version because you want the throat hit. The rest of the device is the same decision in both cases.
