so I noticed that eye drops for dry eye relief was pretty much just pg with a tad of vg would I be able to use this to make e juice or is that a bad idea?
DIY e juice (pg )

First... for the love of gawd, why?
Considering the fact that PG and VG are bone cheap as a USP quality stand-alone product... just being a specialty small market niche, dry eye relief products are going to be stupid expensive by comparison.
Second... I couldn't get the entire ingredients list, but one Bausch + Lomb product shows PG as just 1.0 percent (and Glycerin ie: VG at 0.3%). That's not e-juice juice.
(I could be wrong and our "pure" PG and VG are also molecularly that low, total percentage-wise though I doubt it, but the price alone would be enough to put me off)

Nope but if you do come back and tell us how it taste like. Vg and pg are super cheap, is there a reason why you can't get it where your from? I know many drug stores carry them but they are just branded differently. Best place would probably be from a reputable diy e juice vendor.
In case you never heard of that eye drops ingested give SEVERE diarheaand its pretty much instant try it and let me know trust !e old navy gag put a few drops in a beer and guys have a good laugh for the night my two cents
Einstein once said that (paraphrase) imagination is 99% towards invention. But, for me, it takes A LOT of imagination to figure things out for the best. I try not to re-invent the wheel.
In and of itself imagination is a gift.
Happy New Year!!

About 99% of the population have NO idea how powerful imagination really is.
Welcome and glad you joined. Bad idea, be safe not sorry.
I live in a small town and with holiday season and all only Walmart was open and that was the best I could find. I did a small batch and it wasn't bad it just had a bitter aftertaste. Definitely gonna stick to all vg juice or go to CVS or Walgreen's now that there open
Yikes. The PG is the ACTIVE ingredient - but it's a small percentage of the volume.
The rest of an eye drop is crap like this (from one brand):
Aminomethylpropanol, boric acid, hydroxypropyl guar, POLYQUAD® (polyquaternium-1) 0.001% preservative, potassium chloride, purified water, sodium chloride, sorbitol. May contain hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH
You do NOT want to do anything with this stuff but maybe occasionally drip a drop in your eye.
It's a bunch of water and acid and salt...NOT for vaping!!
And Walmart should have VG...

People are forever asking if WallyWorld's straight PG and VG products are vapeable (somewhere in Pharmacy dep't).
I haven't tried any but as I recall, it usually comes down to checking that it's a pure and USP labeled product and then it's "go for it".
But an eye product?
No... a hundred times no. DO NOT CONTINUE, and be glad you've only used a little.
Don't vape eye drops!
The VG at Walmart is Humco USP rated which is safe to vape. It's in the skin care section. It may be hard to find so you may need to ask an employee. It's under $4 for 6 oz. so it's much cheaper and safer.

And based on the original post among other events in history I give thanks to this every single day.
this ranks as with one of the worst ideas ever posted.
this thread will eventually be moved to the not recommended section.

Hi Yellowdragon
That's pretty funny. I suspect there would also be a saline solution in those drops too and I suspect you'd be paying about 10 times what its worth. I would have simply bought a pack of stinkies if I was totally stuck.

Actually, if you go over there, this isn't the worst ever. Although it would still fit in surprisingly well.
I do wonder what a saline solution would do to the average coil. Hopefully we won't find out.
From all the posts about VG at Wally World I tried a few times to see exactly what it was and NO ONE in the store knew what I was talking about or where to find it. Managers, pharmacy people or anyone they just looked at me like I asked them where the Martians had landed. I also tried tried at a CVS and a Walgreen's to no avail.
You need to ask for Glycerin not Vegetable Glycerin. I couldn't find it either. I asked a Walmart employee that was stocking shelves in the pharmacy area. She led me right to it. It's not a very big bottle and usually on a lower shelf because they don't sell much of it.
Thanks @grandymarsh I did see that but did not think that was what I was looking for!
