Can anyone clear up my glycerine confusion??
What kind of glycerine would be in the glycerine I buy at the pharmacy? The bottle does not state origin. Is it vegetable? or other? I bought it and after diluting 1/1 with water I then drip 2 drops of e-liquid, and 1 drop diluted glycerine. Makes MUCH better vapour, but it seems vegetable glycerine is the choice of the seasoned e-smoker. Am I damaging anything, including myself by using this type of glycerine?

If it says USP or BP it's pharmaceutical grade and is the purest you can get. Food grade is usually USP or BP too. If it's for cosmetics or soap or something then it might have impurities and personally I wouldn't risk it.
Does it say anything on the bottle to give a clue? |

You definitely need to ask whether it is food safe from the manufacturer if they have not stated it on the bottle. |

Um, so my 99.5% BP glycerine might have undesirables in it? I don't know if it's food grade or not.

I personally would ask them. In my experience, manufacturers are more than happy to tell you or find out for you.

It says USP so i'm sure it's safe. I was using it all day yesterday and I'm still kicking, but there's no number to contact. Have to do some digging. I'm not sure I like it all that much, it really kills the flavour of my liquid. Not much of an issue, I'm in it for the nicotine satisfaction!

Mine is BP so it's basically the same thing as USP, pharmaceutical grade. I've been using it for a few months now and as far as I know haven't fallen down dead yet
