Is VG safer than PG?

[Sun Vaporer]

I ended up ordering the Non-PG sample pack from johnson creek.
Is non-pg the same as vg? What I mean to ask is, Is VG used in Non-PG E-Juice/E-Liquid instead of PG, or is some other "Ingredient" used?

Trist--Catman has you covered--it is VG--Sun

Go read this thread A germ-killing vapor and know that Health New Zealand's Dr. Murray Laugesen verified this and other tests on PG and included the findings in his report of Oct. 30, 2008.

This is THE reason I e-smoke. And this is the reason I will use only PG liquids. It's my own belief that inhaling PG vapor might actually make me healthier than I would be as a non-smoker. VG has minimal benefits, if any.

TBob,
The only concern I have is the leg cramps, which I never had before.
So gonna give VG a shot. If it does away with the symptoms, I'll stick with it. If not, then it's back to PG.

I tried vg it gave me an upset stomach .

Never had any problems with pg .

Someone somewhere must have done a study on pg being inhaled.

There was a post the other day about it being an ingredient in inhalers for asthmatics.

I don`t think for one minute they just used it without testing its effect on the lungs and the body.

Keef! Look two posts up! Follow the link. Of course there have been PG studies ...

I've noticed cramping in my legs

my husband said the same thing- he started drinking more water and thats helped a lot.

Tbob ,is right the studies show that PG has some healthier aspects and I have not found that much on VG being inhaled. That is the big factor is that PG has been used as a inhalant.

Thanks Bob, not gone down the health side of it, Just been having fun vaping away.

My very first and only experience to date with vaping was in a smoke store where they allowed me a "51 Duo" to try in hopes that I would buy.
Shortly after my 6-10 draws on the e cig I developed a headache "NOW" that stuck with me through much of the afternoon. I also experienced a very unpleasant reaction to my mouth and lips rhat lasted well into the next day. While studying about e-smoking and fluids I found out about non-PG products intended for those of us who exhibit allergic reactions to PG induced products.
I am pretty certain that a skin reaction that I have experienced on several occasions while using skin-patch medication delivery was due to the PG used as a delivery vehicle in those products also.
I have been a moderate to heavy smoker for quite a few years, so I am convinced that this was not a reaction to nicotine in either of my adverse experiences.
So, Johnson Creek non-PG products it is for me.

I had to switch off from PG, gives me very sore throat and raspy voice, feels like I'm choking. VG ALSO has anti-bacterial properties, I may add.
Both have been studied. VG does seem to have a "slightly greasy" aftertaste, but for me better than choking. So far no problems. Can tell right away now if I use just one cart of PG, so that was definitely an irritant for me. Nice thing about Johnson Creek, can order same flavors either way.
