Have you ever tried inhaling steam? it will go in, but won't come back out, and burn allllll the way down. PG is just the "carrying" agent of and its the substance that produces the actual "vapor"

Vegetable Glycerin also works as an alternative.

As to why .... why do oranges grow on trees?

I've been trying to find the answer on the forums and haven't yet (though I haven't exhausted every single link, so I'm sorry if it is somewhere!)- is there a manufacturer that sells only VG-based liquids or carts?

Hi Bertrand... you sure that JC liquids are only vegetal glycerin based?

I was searching in their web, and couldn't find any reference to what they use (they complain about what "others" use... but say nothing about their own products... or I couldn't find it ).

I thought those liquids were mainly PG based, as all the others...

Yes. They have an option of PG or "non-PG", which is what they call glycerine.

It probably is glycerine but they've never told us what their ingredients are, that's a guess (unless you have insider knowledge Bertrand ).

Nope. Just assumed it was. Sorry.

Actually, I didn't imagine it:

"The primary ingredient in our Non-PG formula is high food-grade vegetable glycerin"

My apologies Bertrand, I've not seen where they say that.
