05.28.2011. Here's Some Reports on Glycerin for Y'all.

This one says that glycerin is relatively safe.

This one warns that it is not.

I have been having major health problems since I turned 31. Happy birthday, huh? Heheh. Well, the doctors don't know what the heck is up, past my extreme vitamin D deficiency. I have had a sudden and severe relapse, with symptoms of renal failure, that my doctor assures me is not the case, without running any tests, though I have recently been exposed to chemicals during tests that have the possibility of damaging my kidneys. Doncha just love American medicine? Well, considering the second source's warnings against those with compromised kidneys using/inhaling glycerin, then I have to quit ecigs for a while and see how that does it.

This sucks. I cannot quit nicotine. I've tried for years. Ecigs were the first product ever that replaced cigs for me. I bloody hate my life. Ah, cold turkey.. once again you loom over me, pissing in my tea. Luckily, I have a few nicotine gums left from last year. I'm only on my second for the entire day. Ugh.

I'm very sorry to hear this. That's just way too bad. But you're talking about glycerin, ie VG. Do you have any PG (propylene glycol) liquids? I think it is very unlikely you would have an adverse effect to that as well.
 
I'll go with door #1. Since I stopped smoking, 7 days ago exactly, I started with PG, then switched to VG. Why? Smoother, more vapor, sweeter, less dry mouth. I feel so good, words cannot describe it ;) That's my experience up to now.
 
PG makes my lungs hurt as if I was huffing red-hot sand.... whilst someone is stabbing me.

I'm also considering that my home-made ejuice may have an effect on me.... since I am using the tank system, the flavours are muted. I mixed up my ejuice specifically for the tanks, but then I'm a bit worried about how much chemical crap I'm inhaling. I used the flavours in some ice cream, just a wee bit, and it rendered the ice cream inedible.

My 0mg menthol isn't really doing anything to me, one way or the other. Of course, I can't really make the menthol any stronger, or the crystals will separate from the liquid.. so the percentage is really pretty much set by that. Hm.

I guess I just worry about the amount of chemicals I'm huffing with this flavouring crap....
 
I wonder if a pharmicist( laboratory type, not just drug store) might have options or something else to suggest as a base? Just because pg and vg are all that are used commercially doesnt necessarily mean that's all that could be used? Good luck.
