    Hmmmmm, no. Mine is definitely a Care + brand but the bottle has an orange label stuck to it. I'll try to find a photo or take one of the bottle I have here.

    Darn it, I've not posted enough to show an image or link to one.

    Do a UK Google image search for "Care Glycerin BP" and it's the first image you see.

    Got it. Same logo, same stuff, different label.

    What would happen if you left out the eliquid and just used the glycerin?

    You'd have to water down the glycerin first with either distilled water or alcohol. It's a bit thick for the atomiser. Expect it would be sweet tasting (sickly even) but loads of vapour.

    You'll get a great amount of vapour, but like others have said, it's best to dilute the glycerin a bit first because it's just a wee bit too think to use on it's own. Try diluting with a little distilled water or with alcohol such as vodka.

    It would lack taste and nicotine craving satisfaction. If you mix it with absinthe 50:50 or with LorAnn flavour 10:90, you will have a nice taste zero nic vapour, though.

    I might try glycerin-only vaping when I'm low on funds. 200ml for 99p is better than what we spend.
    Also another thought occurred to me, if, as I do, you but 18mg TW eliquid it costs the same as 36mg eliquid, so you could save a packet if you bought 36mg and halved it with glycerin. The taste might be diluted but the nicotine content will work out the same.

    I dilute my liquids all the time. If you do it 1:1 (16 to 8 in my case), it still has quite a flavour and is far from tasteless. Actually, taste seems to "evaporate" as you vape on, especially with refilled carts, also with undiluted liquids, so you definitely will not be losing much from the taste point of view, and saving (almost) half the money.

    Also consider the fact that most of the dubious chemicals in our liquids come from the flavouring. So by diluting the 36 to 18 you also decrease possible harmful ingredients by half...
