Glycerin

[edlogic]

For Americans (Maybe abroad as well, not sure with the conversions or if they even ship intl.) [had to take url out ] for $10.64 (Total AFTER shipping!!!) I ordered Friday and got today. (Monday) Very pleased, can't wait to start vaping!

hey - i'm american and i'm glad i waited and read all the way down this thread to your post - at first i noticed someone suggested the now foods link and when i went there it had the product but no buy option and it had a store finder link - i found a store a couple of miles from here but being too lazy to go get it ( because of inhaling tons of tar from $ 32 a 6 oz can of buglars ) i kept reading and wah lah - you ended my glycerin quest -

just like you i am still in pre-vape mode and should get my stuff in a couple of days and i can hardly wait !

thanks a mundo - hey - i am in jax - you might be in my neighborhood - of course that means you could be 20 miles away - but in jax that may still be in jax - in some places this town is more than 25 miles from one end to the other

in my first post about cartridge filling ( link below ) - i listed the stuff i am getting - did i say i can hardly wait ? ! - i got my hemp twine fibers all unravelled and ready to go ! and my glycerine is now on the way thanks to you !

i think the only things left are a solar charger and usb battery charger so if the power goes out i can still charge batteries - but what if the power goes out and it is raining or night time ? - when i think about ecigs helping me finally to quit the smoke i get so paranoid about not being able to vape that i start thinking about alternate ways - like maybe a solar mirror or magnifying glass that concentrates the light / heat to a clear glass or dark metal atomizer or an atomizer that can get the heat source from an external flame somehow - or rubbing two ejuice saturated sticks together really fast

can't put url in but my first post is on the 7th page of the ' what is your favorite cartridge filler ' thread .

ok as usual - i am getting silly now ->

[nodwink]

yeah ? - so are those tonsils looking a bit more spiffy now since you've been bathing them in all that ointment ?

It was LaceyUnderall that suggested I go to whole foods. Since I cant post the link, you can do a search for eliquid for dummies, it's on page 2.

I haven't actually used the glycerin. I don't smoke, but bought the yeti for my husband, and am now trying to find a mixture that he can vape w/out coughing so hard. When I ordered the kit, it came w/ 5 carts full of "high" marlboro, and I bought 18mg marlboro and grape........... but now we are going to try a glycerin base to see if that helps. I ordered the vg 36mg non flavored and a bunch of lorann flavorings last night, so hopefully, we can get this so he can enjoy it, w/out a sore throat or coughing w/ every hit.

oh - sorry - i guess i missed you posting that it was for your husband previously - sorry -

if he is having a lot of trouble with the juice then you may want to consider a dry type vaporizer that can vape the tobacco - maybe not as clean as liquid but i think you get hardly any tar that way

i have been seeing them online - first time today - never knew about them before - i saw one relatively cheap portable model called a
pocket vapor
vp - 600
i think it is about $60
do a google search for vaporizers and you will see very many different models etc .

i ordered a bunch of ecig stuff and i am waiting for it but now that i see all these other type of vaporizers - i am starting to wonder if i would rather have one of those -
so now i am thinking about trying to sell all the stuff that i get before i even open it - so i can get one of the other types instead

i hope the glycerin works - but if not - there is a classifieds section in this forum and maybe you can sell the stuff you have and try the other types

Vegetable glycerin can be obtained from Michaels craft store in the cake section. It comes in a 2oz. bottle for about $2.99.

[Dilutetrips]

I work in a co-op and we sell it there in health/beauty. good and cheep. if you live in mn any of the co-ops sell it.

[edlogic]

about 6 bucks if you go to the store finder at the bottom of the page and you can find a store that has it

otherwise you can order online and it is about 11 bucks shipped

NOW Foods - Vegetable Glycerine - 16 oz.

My experience with Glycerine :
I vaped 11mg cut with Glycerine for 2months and I started to get an almost continuous empty feeling in my stomach which in turn led me to eat more, I also got a little bit blotchy around my abdomen and very small amounts of acne on my face (I never suffered acne even as a teenager). I put a stone and a half on in weight (21 pounds) in that period, mostly I think due to the stomach effects.
I've been back on 100% PG now for two weeks and those symptoms are gone and I'm losing the weight albeit slowly. I didn't have a weight problem anyway and my BMI was still perfect with the increase but I imagine it might push some into being overweight.
My PG for cutting came from Mistral on E-Bay.

Glycerin is used as part of the formulation in asthma MDI's (metered dose inhalers) as well as in Nasonex and these have been approved by the FDA.

Recent studies show:
In humans, the licensed use of Clenil Modulite (an asthma inhaler) permits a maximum of 8mg of glycerol inhaled in one day or 0.16mg/kg/day based on a 50kg adult. The toxicology of glycerol following administration by inhalation was investigated in an 13-week inhalation study of aerolised glycerol in rats10 using doses in rats equivalent to 20mg/kg/day and 76mg/kg/day in humans which is 125 and 475 times higher than the maximum dose delivered through Clenil Modulite. Additionally, the ACGIH (1996) has reported that bio-kinetic studies indicate that a 70kg adult should be able to metabolise and excrete over two grams of glycerol per eight hour work day.11 It is on this basis that the present threshold limit (TLV) for inhaled glycerol is set for that of respirable nuisance particulates.11 The doses used in the 13 week study were 16.5 and 61 times the TLV. Based upon the results of the 13 week inhalation toxicology results, the use of up to 1mg/puff of glycerol in Clenil Modulite is not considered to pose a risk to patients as stated in the Clenil Modulite SPC.

Hope this helps.

8mg maximum? omg ....
im smoking only while in front of my computer at night while watching tv and such... and i can smoke around 1ml of juice.... i know that 1ml of water weight 1g ... if glycerin is anything close to that... i would be smoking easily 125 time that ammount O_O
