I am having the some reaction and looked up what it is made of. Is there a way that processing can take the allergins out? I am looking for many flavors and will check out what you suggested. Sorry if questions are lame! Total newbie.I am confused by this statement. VG is not made of palm or coconut oils, but it might be made from these oils, as well as corn and other vegetable oils. The oils are hydrolyzed to produce VG and the other product is the fatty acids associated with those oils. There is no veg oil left in the final purified VG. It is just glycerin, as in >99% pure.
Are you having problems with VG and feel you are having similar allergic reactions to that of palm or coconut oil?
And what do you mean by "a wide selction of PG"? Do you mean a wide variety of ejuice flavors that use PG as opposed to VG? If this is the case, there are many vendors. MyFreedomSmokes has a lot of following here, and lots of flavored e-juices, as well as unflavored, in PG. But really there is no shortage of PG juices available...most of the vendors listed at the bottom of the ECF homepage carry PG juices...its more common than VG juices.
Livestrong article:
Vegetable glycerin is used in a number of personal and hygiene products and is also available as an oil supplement in liquid form. Glycerin is a plant extract that is thick like syrup, has no aroma and has a sweet taste, according to Botanical.com. Glycerin for use as vegetable glycerin is often derived from plants like coconut or palm. The product is used in shampoos, soaps, toothpaste and herbal remedies. Understanding the dangers of vegetable glycerin enables consumers to make wise choices regarding their household products.
Skin Irritation
Skin lotions and products containing vegetable glycerin may cause redness and irritation for some users. According to the label from one brand, Now Foods Vegetable Glycerin, found on iHerb.com, the product is to be discontinued if any such irritation develops.
Allergic Reaction
Any individual allergic to palm or coconut oil (or their extracts or byproducts) should be wary of products containing vegetable glycerin. Some products containing vegetable glycerin also contain preservatives to extend shelf life, states HealingWell.com, such as sulfite preservatives, which may also trigger allergic reactions.
Labeling Misconceptions
According to National Health Federation, glycerin is used an an emollient and a humectant, or key ingredients to lotions and shampoos to help keep creams and lotions retain their moisture. However, unless a product specifically states that glycerin comes from coconut or vegetable sources, it may actually be a product of pig fat, and when combined with disterate, or stearic acid, may actually be quite caustic or irritating to the skin.

That is a beautiful dog, what kind is it?If I do, I'll post the link here.
Kurt do you have any idea where the PTBs have tucked the allergy and withdrawal information? I can't seem to find it and someone should really sticky it in the New Members area.
ETA: I found it. If you look in the FAQs there is a lot and I do mean a lot of good information for new vapers.
