Glycerinum - Page 3 - E-Cigarette Forum

Actually I have the same problem with this seller as with the unidentified glycerin from the local pharmacy. The seller says it is 99 % pure, kosher should mean vegetable, ok, but then shows a photo of a liquid in an open jar. Seems to me he just poured some off the cistern...

For your information, through this forum I found a good soul who decided to send me some certified stuff from foreign pharmacy which sells it off the shelf, so I should be OK for the next year or so

Thank you all for your efforts. Wish you long happy years of healthy vaping enjoyment.

There is a craft store here....I will have to check that out. There's no Michaels here but I work In Syracuse so I"ll take a look there. Thanks!

OMG! You're in Rochester? I'm in Auburn (and work in Syracuse). Howdy neighbor!

Frankie, I'm very pleased to hear you got sorted out by someone who you feel confident about.

I just posted the eBay link as a possible source not a recommendation. Think the seller is probably OK, 100% feedback over nearly 400 sales and he also claims it to be certified. Sells all sorts of other chemicals too. But if you're not happy always best to leave it alone.

SuziQ, rest assured absolutely no offence taken. I agree about your comment regarding the price, but originally thought the price was OK having bought 100ml at my local pharmacy for £1.25. That would work out at £6.35 for half a litre. Only found out here that I could have got it much cheaper at Boots, 99p for 250ml! Mind you, our nearest Boots is about 12 miles away...the joys of rural living, eh?

I believe the main issue here is not the price - half a litre will last you a couple of years - but the assured quality and fitness for inhallation. The one SuziQ (may she live an extremely long and utterly happy life) found is officially designated to use as a sore throat med, so there is quite a warranty that it is not dangerous when inhaled. It is not really a difference whether you pay 1 or 2 pounds for half a year of vaping, but there is a whole world of difference when you can be certain that the stuff you are vaping is actually meant for (sort of) inhallation.

Oops, there goes my anonimity frankie (only joking, it's no problem). Just to let others in the uk know, in case they are interested and want to get some from Boots - I made a mistake - I thought it was 250ml, but is in fact 200ml. For 97p (they took the 2.5% vat reduction off the price of 99p), it is still good value and is for ingestion at least. I would use it myself with no problem and have indeed mixed similar stuff with high nic liquid, which I vape regularly with no issues. I believe VG as we know it is more or less harmless (as far as we know anyway).

Yeah, that's why I had to post; figured you would have similar stores when I saw Central NY by your posts.

This is pretty cool....a fellow vaper so close by!

Let me know how this all works out for you!
