    Default Question on glycerin...

    In the PG/VG purity thread, there's mention of Humco glycerin. I've seen this brand before, and would tend to trust it a bit more than most. My question is: is the following link the glycerin in question (ie- the stuff I need for e liquid)?

    Amazon.com: GLYCERIN HUMCO 6 OZ: Health & Personal Care

    or would it be this:

    Ok, now can anyone suggest a mix (VG, nic, flavor and water ONLY please, no vodka/PGA/alcohol)?

    you can look through all the recipes and replace the alcohol with vg, pg, or water.. the alcohol is just there to thin out the mix and give a stronger TH

    and both above are good.. top one is the PG lower one is VG

    I get the Humco brand of VG at Walmart. I think it is in skin care section.

    Isn't HealthyNest Glycerine one of those that advertises on the bottle, "100% Pure"?

    It's probably great glycerine, but even the finest grade chemical lab glycerine isn't 100% pure. That kind of claim turns me off.

    My drug-store glycerin is 99.5% pure, with the remaining 0.5% being water. Can't get much purer than that, especially for only a couple bucks per bottle... been using my CVS-bought VG for a few months now, with spectacular results.

    I jsut started using the Humco glycerin from wal mart. It's like $3.85 for 6 ounces. I haven't had any problems with it at all. Works great I jsut thin it out with distilled water.

    I agree, I'm pretty picky about how the word pure it thrown arround. I ended up picking up some Proctor and Gamble Superol V (veg) rated at 99.7% pure (.3% water). I vape the stuff straight.

    I picked up a gallon, so if you can't find it localy and want to try it PM me.
    The Health Nest stuff is probably just fine, but I had someone telling me it was 100% pure. I pretty much consider this impossible, so I'm a bit biased.
    Watkins--- I stay away from it, for some reason it has an industrial "feel" to me.
    Humco says all the right things on the lable, but has a "baby care" product look to me, and as I mentioned, wasn't available localy.

    I've very happy with my P&G Superol V, not the cheapest solution, but I have enough to keep me in VG for life and still share a little with my forum friends. LOL
