I found some on Amazon for like $6. It is called NOW VG. It says it is food grade and that it is so pure you can drink the sucker LOL what do you think?

Besides that, 16 OZ should last me for ever right????

VG is easy to find. PG in your original is not so easy.

Propylene Glycol USP - Propylene Glycol - Bulk - Wholesale
In whichever size you need. They also have VG in same sizes.

This is kind of strange, isn't it. Wonder about it. Maybe next time you go to a Pharm ask for 100% USD Vegetable Glycerin, pretend to be reading it off of a list your wife sent you with, say "I don't know, something for her dry skin" and act dumb. Something has been sent around, PG and VG warnings from FDA...somebody who works in Pharmacy may be able to answer that for sure. If they ask are you going to smoke this you say "WHAT???"

I went to WalMart and CVS and never found it there. The only place I found VG was Whole Foods. Heritage Brand Food Grade Vegetable Glycerin 4 oz. for $5.00.
Found it in the "hair care" department after asking an associate.
My reason? I wanted to bake a "sugar-free" cake. Even she was confused why it was in the hair care dept., since in had "nutrition information". I checked on youtube and apparently, people do use it as a moisturizer for hair too.
YouTube - vegetable glycerin
You should find it right away anyway(knee level), so no need for an associate.

Have a great day!

PG can be bought or ordered through any tobacco store. PG is used in humidor humidifier units to prevent mold from building up on the humidifier.

I don't know if there are different grades of PG though, might it be different? Might they add another chemical to it? I don't know... but I have bought propelyne glycol for years for my humidors.
