I believe VG is Veggie Glycerin, just a different term for plain old Glycerin. It's a little sweeter and thicker than PG (Propylene glycol).

Telling smokers they may not use e-cigarettes until they're approved by the FDA is like telling a floundering swimmer not to climb aboard a raft because it might have a leak.

Thank you very much Janetda. Yes, the glycerine is a tad to sweet. I guess newbies still want that tobacco taste until they make the transition. Then, who know.....bring on the flavours. lolololol

And it has tons of calories, check it out.

The liquid that you're using now is USP PG.. if it's not VG. I have not found any liquids that are cut using anything other than these two substances. Also, if it's 100% USP PG, it doesn't really matter if it's sold from a tractor store, or a pharmacy. The issue would be if it's, say, 90% PG.. the question then is what is the other 10%? :-)

As far as the calories.. given that it's atomized.. and that you're inhaling it versus consuming it.. you're not actually absorbing any calories, afaik.

I prefer VG over PG for the vapor production.. I add a few mL's of it to my PG juices

Thanks for the piece of mind re: extra calories. You know how neurotic women get about gaining an extra few pounds! lolololol

How do you get that little window that show how long you have been using the e-cig? I got the URL to get to it but don't know where to put it in my profile.
