propylene glycol

Dr. Loi, I'm hoping you will read this. Very simplistically, what is the current skinny on VG vs. PG. Are we right in thinking that VG is likely safer in general, even in the instance where no PG allergy exists? I don't want to find myself barking up the wrong tree by going out of my way to...

There is a lot of talk on this forum about the effects of propylene glycol in this forum, so I thought I would share my fairly extensive experience with this particular chemical with all of you. For the better part of three years I spent 12 hours a day, usually 7 days a week practically bathing...

Doctors discover the potential toxicity of propylene glycol while treating a patient with kidney problems. PG really does not suit everybody. Bit of a stiff read but you can skip to the discussion part, basically all it says is a patient was getting treatment for kidney problems and was being...

DO NOT BE ALARMED. I AM NOT A CHEMIST. TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. I think I've figured out what's happening to clog atomizers. Under the right conditions (I can't reliably replicate them) you can get "propylene glycol" e-liquid to polymerise in the presence of glycerine. It forms a kind of...

i'm about to order some J. Creek liquid and my supplier has all flavors in PG and NPG. what is the difference? more/less smoke,throat hit? is one healthier than the other?

Sorry if this matter has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it (in that case, just give me the link and close this thread ;) ). The fact is that we all feel "dry throat and mouth" when we vape a lot. But... VG and PG are supposed to be "humectants" (I don't know if that's the right...

I'm not sure how much propylene glycol vapor exists within a single puff from an E-Cig, but here's some interesting information about part of what we're breathing with these things. (Excerpt from article) From the Department of Medicine, the Douglas Smith Foundation for Medical Research, the...

Hello, everyone. I'm from Bulgaria and I was not able to find e-liquid sold locally. Actually I found one online store charging 80$ per 50ml ... seems more like a robbery :) I could order from outside Bulgaria but this will generally take more time to arrive so I started to wander how hard it...

Hello everyone! Just wondering how many people have cats and what they are doing about the effects of PG on their cats. I've read that PG can cause Heinz Body in cats, which is why they are not allowed to use PG in cat foods. Also read that PG used in fog machines leaves a residue on the...

Got this off a previous post's links: " Health Information The toxicology database for PG has been reviewed and agreed upon by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) SIAM15 process. The oral toxicity of PG is low. In one study, rats were provided with feed...

I have been reading loads of threads and I cant really find a definate answer. Why is liquid made from mainly pg. why not water? :confused:

I was posting in another thread where margouillat mentioned that there is PG in real cigarettes. I had a look around and it turns out that both PG and VG are used in cigarettes, which means most of us have spent years inhaling it already. Found a couple of links worth looking at...

Far from posing a threat to our health, the propylene glycol in e-smoking liquids might help keep us healthy. It would accomplish that by its germicidal action. It kills many of the major bacteria that threaten lung entry into our bodies. Until yesterday, I was unfamiliar with this potentially...

Actually I’ve had to give it up for the next week to ten days. I’ve developed a case of something similar to eczema on my hands and feet and the doc has me taking prednisone and said to stop e-smoking till this clears up. I have always had allergies to cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, perfumes...

Hi, i was just searching for info one-cig, and i come across an aticle saying that some e-cig filters has ALCOHOL in them.8-o Can anyone help me to get more info on this?:confused: thanks

I have been getting a bad chest from e-cigg, with a little googling I find that glycol-based liquids are used in the cartrage. This liquid is also used in fog machines on stage and films. Actors have been complaining for years about health related problems from long exposure to this fog...

I want to cook my own tobacco flavor WITHOUT nicotine. Does this seem legit ??? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/706377/ho ... tine_free/ Thoughts?

So have any tests actually been done to determine if it's bad to be inhaling this stuff all day? Who knows, maybe it's worse than tobacco? I doubt it, but has it actually been tested at all? I know they have tested it somewhat because they use smoke machines and stuff all the time.. but that's...

A product designed to deliver insulin from inhalation into the lungs was discontinued today after a test group of users had a much higher-than-expected rate of lung cancer. Here's what the AP wrote this morning: NEW YORK (Associated Press) - An already faltering pharmaceutical industry effort...
