Johnson Creek PG vs NPG

[parapo]

i'm about to order some J. Creek liquid and my supplier has all flavors in PG and NPG.

what is the difference?
more/less smoke,throat hit?
is one healthier than the other?

PG = Propylene Glycol
NPG= Glycerine (Non PG)
Glycerine is also known around the forum as VG V being vegetable although the process to make is is pretty industrial chemical as well.

No. PG is propylene glycol. NPG will be non propylene glycol, presumably vegetable glycerin.

okay now im confused! i purchased a 200ml bottle of glycerine yesterday from boots chemist. on the label it says glycerine and underneath in large letters it says PG! the ingredients do say 100% glycerine though!!??



DOH!!! just checked the label and it says BP not PG! does anyone know what the BP stands for?

BP=British Pharmacopoeia.

Do we know for certain that the NPG is made from VG and not some other (nasty) chemical?

Be interesting to see what the taste and vapour production is beween the PG and NPG versions.

Well thats what they say on their web site. I don't think they would lie over a think like that, they are based in the land of the lawsuit
