Glycerin

[edlogic]

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

interesting information

think about it - you use 1 ml of juice and how much of that stays in and how much do you exhale ?

i would guess that at least 10 to 20 times more is exhaled than is absorbed so maybe you are not getting as much as you might think

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

I tried to find glycerin at my Michaels, but they don't have any food grade, only candle stuff. I got it from LorAnn's though, the picture was pretty small, and it didn't say much of anything in the description, so I hope it's the right stuff. If not it was pretty cheap and I was ordering flavors anyways lol.

how long have you been vaping ? me about 6 weeks

please be carful with those flavors unless you have used them before
are you familiar with some other threads here that tell about people getting panic attacks and such from vaping ?

i for one ordered my favorite of all time flavors from lorann oils
coconut and cherry
i have not tried the cherry yet ( afraid to )
but if i put even the smallest amount of the coconut flavor in my juice and vape it - within 10 seconds i start getting symptoms of panic attacks

at first it was really bad because i put a lot it - but i did not know that was what was causing it until i tried different juice etc

so now i have two bottles of juice that i can't use because i mixed the flavor in them

i will just give them away or trade for another juice from someone

look at this thread

Anxiety/Panic?...not again. Say it ain't so!

oh you can get 16 oz of vegetable glycerin from now foods

got some glycerin today just want to make sure it cool before i vape the crap out of it it states: glycerin usp (front label)
ingredient label: glyerin 99.5% anhydrous(which means no water right?)
helps prevent temp chafed or cracked skin and lips do not apply over puncture wounds, infections or lacerations. : keep out of reach of childre in case of accidental over dose call poison control bla blah no internal warning just says skin protectant is this good to use? that warning label about poison control freaks me out but it is usp? soooo? oh brand is good neighbor pharmacy. found in harmons pharmacy

Go to the skin care aisle of most any pharmacy and you'll find a small(usually 6oz) bottle labled Glycerine, USP(Some pharmacies don't carry outright , but will special order for you). The label may have it listed as CVS Glycerine, USP or Rite Aid Glycerine, USP or Humco Glycerine, USP or Family Pharmacy Glycerine, USP etc.. you get my point. Whatever it's labeled, it's Glycerine, USP 99.5% anhydrous(meaning 0.5% water). It will cost anywhere from $3 to $6 for 6oz.(CHEAP) This is vegetable glycerine, absolutely, positively, no doubt. How do I know this? I'm a pharmacist. All OTC glycerine,USP is made by 1 single manufacturer, HUMCO. It is then contract packaged into the different pharmacy labeled bottles. I've personally called HUMCO and spoke with their QA(quality assurance) person. He assured me that HUMCO's Glycerine is in fact Vegetable source Glycerine. The reason it's labeled Glycerine and not Vegetable Glycerine is because #1 it is listed in the USP as Glycerine, USP and therefore(in order to keep the USP certification) must be labeled as it's listed in the USP. #2 it would cause confusion as Glycerine is Glycerine(regardless of the source), to add the moniker VEGETABLE, makes it sound like it's two different and distinct products, it isn't. Also, USP grade Glycerine is the purest you can get. Food Grade "vegetable Glycerine" you get in health food store saying 99.9% is BS. Since they do not have to meet any standard(such as USP standards) they could say anything, they could say 10000% pure. If you get USP grade, you know you are getting exactly what is labeled(within allowable USP limits) and it is made to most stringent requirements available in the US. (i.e. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia- drugs have meet higher standards then foods do)

I've found Wilton Glycerine for $2.49 for a 2 FL oz bottle at Hobby Lobby and Joan Fabrics. Wilton Glycerine is food grade glycerine and is 100% glycerine.

Apparently walmart only seem to sell non-food-grade glycerine (for skin, external use).

When i went on my hunt for glycerine i found that Hobby Lobby also sells LorAnn flavorings two bottles of 3.7ML for $3.28. They had all kinds of flavors, i picked up Grape, Apple and Raspberry today, now if only i can find some dam empty eyedropper bottles or some cheap high mg nicotine juice...

If you read my post (right above yours) you'll see the walmart glycerine,USP is exactly the same. Since Wilton's glycerine is not USP, they can say it's 10000% pure. Please read my post, it will save you alot of money and searching in the long run.

@markarich159 thanks for clearing up the confusion. i actually bought the glycerine from walmart today and returned it an hour later to buy the Wilton glycerine at Joan Fabrics. I was really worried that the glycerine at walmart was not the right for vaping, great info though, my next glycerine buy i will be sure to get the USP grade. it's funny i was standing there staring at the walmart glycerine label trying to figure out if the 99.5% was important. thanks again for the info, the bottle was much bigger and was only like $3.
