Ok, we all know not to drink Antifreeze right? And I'm sure we all know that young children and especially pets might be drawn to antifreeze and drink it. Copious warnings on the bottles, et cetera. I'm just sick and tired of the media and individuals demonizing PV's because the liquid contained is a key ingredient in antifreeze. Here's some facts about antifreeze and its ingredients. Ingredients: Methanol: Methanol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ethylene Glycol: Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote:
Propylene Glycol lists one of its uses "As a less-toxic antifreeze". From the Wikipedia anti-freeze article: Quote:

While I agree with you on this subject, it's not likely to be let go very easily. It's a good scare tactic to those that are uninformed about the truth and it will get abused until someone finally proves it wrong.

Wanna send a scare message. They are worried about PG being in our juice...... I wonder how they would feel about PG being in all the flavoring of all their holiday candies!! Main ingredient of Loranns candy flavoring is PG

If you own an RV and ever use it in the winter, your freshwater holding tank (drinking water) has PG in it. That jug of non-toxic stuff to add to freshwater to prevent freezing is PG.

Thanks for the feedback. Good one about the holiday candy. And yes...you'd be hard pressed to get your e-liquid to freeze I would think. However I think it's the Methanol that prevents freezing. The PG or EG (ethylene glycol) are what make it hard to boil. In the southern states you can even fine anti-freezes that do freeze quite easily but have a very hard time overheating. Unfortunately here in the Gulf Coast region around Pensacola, FL it gets well below freezing (20*F low last winter in the dead of night). Needless to say my point was that there are lots of products that contain mundane everyday even EDIBLE ingredients. It's not fair to pick out a single ingredient from a toxic mixture and conclude that every ingredient is therefore toxic. If I mix bleach with orange juice...that mixture would kill you very effectively, however it's not fair to say that it's the orange juice doing the killing. But things that have chemical-y names get a bad wrap. Perfect example follows: Beware the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide! Facts About Dihydrogen Monoxide. I got 50 signatures to petition the banning of unregulated dumping and exposure to DHMO in the span of and hour at a local grocery store using info similar to what you can find on the link above. Horrified that they had never heard of this dangerous chemical that could be killing their children, pets, and even themselves, many shoppers, some even well educated (Lawyers, Inventment bankers, Accountants...) were all too eager to sign. Little did they know that Dihydrogen Monoxide is H2O....plain, everyday, WATER!
