Hmm... I got a bottle of USP-grade glycerin at CVS a couple months ago. It was in the beauty section (with the fancy creams, etc), as it's often used (when diluted with water) as a skin protectant.
So what else would you like to see

Hmm... I got a bottle of USP-grade glycerin at CVS a couple months ago. It was in the beauty section (with the fancy creams, etc), as it's often used (when diluted with water) as a skin protectant.
And was it 100% vegetable glycerin, specifically propylene glycol or some kind of unmarked synthetic glycerin that states "topical use only"?
It says 99.5% Glycerin on the label. It does say for "External Use Only", but the fact that it's labeled "Glycerin, USP" means that, although it's labeled for external use, it's pure, according to USP specifications.
As to whether or not it's vegetable in origin, my understanding is almost all glycerin is from vegetables and, even if it's not, it's chemically identical.
i wouldnt ingest anything that says topical use only. i strongly suggest your forget using that stuff.
Last night I read some 20+ threads on how folks ARE using the 99% "glycerin,USP" stuff from the drug stores (marked "topical use only") for their juices. IMHO, "topical use only" means do not ingest... and that's enough for me not to. I opted for Wilton's Glycerin found at candy/cake supply stores and craft stores, as I know 100% that it's food grade. Eventually I'll buy the 100% Vegetable Glycerin from one of the suppliers. Heck I'll get the stuff with nicotine so I can create my own juices.
I did good with the Wilton's, as I wanted to cut my current stock of nic juices in half (lower the nic from 18 to 9-11mg). The Wilton's works good, lots of vapor and just a little sweetness. However, Since Shawn is my "go to" seller, when he gets his PG/VG and stuff like that, I'm sure I'll become a mad scientist.

Ladydeth mentioned 510 cartomizers to use on 401 batts. I was told 510 attys were not good to use on 401 batts because they drew to much power.
Are the 510 cartos OK to use on 401 batts?

how about a better selection of 30 ml juice my wifes everyday vape only comes in 10 ml
im working towards upgrading the 30ml selection. it will be bigger here in the coming weeks.
i see no problem with 510 cartos on the 401 as long as you DO NOT use low resistance ones.
Shawn, I need a USB charger for my 510 and I keep checking the site but they are out of stock. Do you know when they'll be in so I can place one order?
The KR808D-1 auto batteries (280 mAh) have been out of stock. any idea when you might get more in? maybe the 10 second cut-off variety?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Two things:
1. USB Charger for 510's (out of stock)
2. eGo Button Protector ($1-$2.50 on most sites)

So, it appears you cant use the 501 atty on any 401 automatic batteries. I tried both of mine, and my auto PT, no such luck. The is no airflow moving thru the adapter to trigger it.
Kinda works on the manuals, but I dont think its getting hot enough.
I have two different batteries, one is brand new, just opened with the 501 cartos.
The other is about 3 wks old.
The older one might have had a lower charge, but didnt get much vapor. Its charging now to see if it is just low on power.
The new one gives decent vapor, but I get fluid in my mouth.
I used the condom fill method on the cartos.
I think i just need to practice on filling cartos
Sucked a bit out with a dropper, and seems better, but kinda burning my throat.
Edit:
Ok when you get the fluid just right, and heat the atty up right, it seems to work fairly well
not awesome vapes yet, but it could happen.

posted in another thread... but figured this belonged here.
2.4 or 2.5Ω cartomizers! the 510 Boge cartos you carry work very well, but there is a big gap between 2 and 3Ω's, and I, among others, would love to see something in the middle. thanks!

I've read a lot of hype about the ceramic cartomizers. Have never bought or used one. If they don't leak or burn, perhaps they could be a product worth your consideration.
