rejoice,
Glycerin is the VG; it will say propylene glycol if it is PG. I am still trying to figure out which one is thicker since I have not bought the PG yet.

Thanks Kate. I don't know about anyone else, but most of my liquids seem rather watery. When I mix my own no nic, I use glycerin and not only does it come out thicker, but it seems to leach to the atomizer very well.....and lots of vapor for a long time. I don't know....the thinner one seems to "run out" of the cart a lot faster and doesn't last very long. Maybe I'll just stick with the glycerin for now

Thanks Kate so much. I guess I better stay with VG. Its just the VG makes my juice too sweet. I ordered some nonflavor nic juice and looking forward to making my own juice. I bought this tobacco flavoring that I really like.
Hi there
I've purchased 2 Glycerins thinking that one of them is PG.
I bought the VG food grade from E-bay as was posted and recommended, and bought the other from Boots chemist (The BP grade for cough mixture).
It was later that I realized both of these were Glycerins, am I right? Or wrong?
My question is, where do I buy PG?
Please recommend a website / link that I can purchase this from.
Thanks
Cheers!

This is where I got mine from in the UK Madis, I don't know what deals they still have but you could contact them if you need to - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....110032&cguid=b101305311d0a0e203d3b0a3fff3b0e0
Some people in the States say USP grade pg can be bought at agricultural stores, it's used for adding to feed.

Thanks so much Kate!
I've e-mail the seller, and also asked for a smaller bottle if possible...
500mls ? Probably I'll create a drink with it!
I've been looking for PGs lately, but am too scared if I selected the wrong one...
antifreeze tester....treat ketosis in dairy cattle? OH NO!

I did see one at the tractor supply store....100% PG, USP. A gallon for $20. I didn't buy it as I had the question about thickness. Seems safe from what others have said though.

hey guys just a quick question i bought a bottle that says "Pure Glycerin USP skin protectant" the active ingredients says "Glycerin 99.5% Anhydrous" which i think is fine my only problem is there is a warning that says "for external use only" is there a problem with that or is it a standard warning?

I first purchased a bottle of glycerin from Michael's craft store. I think it was safe but I also thought it was kind of thin compared to what others were saying. But it was useable.
On a fluke, I happened to see a bottle of Humco glycerin at walmart. Same ingredients as yours but does not say "for external use only" on it. I have heard others say they use it but I was hesitant because it said "skin protectant". But it was so thick, I couldn't pass it up! (I really hate thin liquid.)
I did try a little for an experiment and it worked well...I like it...but as Kate said, I have no evidence of its safety. Mine doesn't say not to ingest and there is no warning about it except for "in case of accidental overdose...."
They list a website, but I haven't checked it out yet: www.simplehomeremedies.com
I saw some in rite aid one time that I think said "skin protectant, for external use only" so I did not buy it. Not sure what the ingredients were now. Don't know if I would have bought this one either if it said that
Lu
Yes, that is the Wilton glycerin you can buy at Michael's craft stores. Do you have any near you? This price is very expensive (plus shipping!) If you don't have a Michael's near you, you can find it much cheaper other places on the net like here:
Nature's Flavors : Glycerine (CAS Number: 56-81-5) Food Grade
There are others as well. I just don't know where the other links are off the top of my head.
Lu
Yes, there is a Michael's 5 minutes from me. The shipping for that one is free, but I guess if I can get it at Michael's there is no need to wait!
What do you suggest? Plain, flavord? What is better? I use regular Marlboro carts. Thanks, Lu!- Status
