I emailed the seller of this product to ask if it was for ingesting and what was in it, this is what they said:

Yes it is for ingesting

Lobelia (Indian Tobacco) 38% neutral grain spirits/distilled water.

That's funny because Lobelia is poisonous, and although a herbal remedy you have to be careful about how much you take.

Ah, thanks Myk, I wasn't aware of that.

I didn't make the connection with "Indian Tobacco". When I hear that I think of Kinnickinnic.
But now that I think of it I do remember one of the herbs I used to grow had nicotine or something like it, Lobelia must've been it.

I'm amazed anyone would produce that for ingestion without the supervision of a herbalist.

another note- the glycerin helps keep things moist without being too thin, so I believe addign a dab on the steel mesh help keep it just moist enough to work nicely without being so thin as to run down into battery

I've got Glycerin B.P (Glycerol) and it says:

Active Ingredient
Each 5ml of liquid contains Glycerol 100% v/v

Think this is as pure as it gets lol

something i can back up with personal knowledge from some one who i know learning to be a pharm tech is that this brand is a safe smoker and the andyro means that it is water salable but has no water in its bottled state. and usp phar grade and food safe/kosher safe mean as pure as possible thats it is

It would be worth checking ingredients for oils, sugars and colourings, they might cause problems.

I've been using McCormicks Vanilla,Orange,Raspberry and Lemon for the past three days and,So far not a single problem.
If I start having failures I'll update.

So I bought some Heritage Vegetable Glycerin from Whole Foods Market today, just to try this whole thing out... I'm a little intrigued by it all and wanted to give it a shot. 5 bucks for 120ml isn't bad anyway I figure. They didn't have what I've been looking for, more specifically "Food Grade," but I'm under the impression that this stuff will be fine. The contents say USP Grade Pure Vegetable Glycerin and the use says to place a few drops of herbal remedy in 3/4 oz of water and add 1tsp of VG for a slightly sweet base... To me this translates into "Internally safe." Any comments on this? Also, it's kinda thick, more so than the Totally Wicked eLiquid I've got. Any thoughts/comments?
