I found this on walgreens website, its spelled glycerin with no e on the end, wasnt sure if its the same thing. What do you think?

Glycerin and Glycerine are the same thing. As long as the label says "USP" then it's OK to vape. IMHO, it's even better if the label says "100% Vegetable Glycerin" and "USP", but many can't tell the difference.

Thanks, the bottle that i listed wasnt USP that i could see, i did find some Glycerin USP 99.5% at walmart today though, picked up 6oz/177ml for 3.00.

The Walgreens link does have a warning - "For external use only" so it's good that you skipped it.

I looked in my walmart, but couldn't find it there. What section of your walmart did you find it in? Food/baking? Pharamcy? Skin care?

I found it near the pharmacy, i believe it was right by the poison ivy skin care stuff. Its labeled as "Glycerin skin protectant" Its a clear bottle about 4" tall white label with black blue and pink writing on it, Glycerine is written larger than everything else in black. Good luck! If you dont find it, ask the pharmacist, they should know where it is located *should*, tell them it is skin protectant.

Yeah but even the USP has that warning label

Buy CVS Pure Glycerin USP online at CVS.com

Well that's quite the conundrum.

I got some stuff i got at the organic health food store called 100% vegetable glycerine, says its USP all natural and food grade. So i hope this is gonna be good too vape with, any imput on what too use for flavouring. Would natural essence oils be O.K.? Happy vapin' peace
