VG Liquid

[Jen Alonzo]

My husband is starting to make his own juices and I have found that VG can be made w/ coconut base, my husband is deathly allergic to coconut - this is from the RTS site - For an e-liquid base that is plant-based, we recommend 100% pure USP Kosher Certified vegetable glycerin. This USP Kosher Certified VG liquid is super thick and produces tons of vapor. USP grade vegetable glycerin as offered below can not only be used for e-liquid, but also for cosmetics and sweeteners. 100% pure USP Kosher Certified vegetable glycerin will not only create more smoke than propylene glycol, it is perfect for vapers that are allergic to PG. Made in Indonesia from coconuts. (Palm Based)

Are there other sites/places that we can get VG that is not coconut base. Is most of the VG out on the market made this way? We are currently using Scenic Avalanche juice and can not find any site to find out if this is made w/ the RTS VG.

VG can also be Soy or Palm based. I'm no expert, maybe it's made of other things also. I'd suggest contacting any vendor you might want to buy from and find out for sure what they offer. Here's some Palm based VG-> USP Kosher Certified Palm Glycerin

I do not think any issue could occur due to vaping VG...aka C3H8O3...when it is in a pure condition, no matter, what made of.

No more coconut. Just C3H8O3. Nothing else. Alcohol...

Kosher...wtf?

Mine comes from a shop that sells that stuff for horses...horse-direct in germany...I pay about 13 Euros for 5 liters...99,5% clean and according to pharmaceutical rules! No allergens in that stuff...no way.

Hi Jen, and welcome to ECF!

I'm not a doctor, but I would agree with Joerg, VG is pretty darn refined, and I wouldn't think there would be anything in coconut based VG that would trigger an allergic reaction.

THAT said, many of the DIY'ers around here are buying their PG and VG from Essential Depot. GREAT deals if you are willing to buy 4 gallons. You can choose whether to get 1 gal of VG or PG and 3 of the other, or 2 and 2, or 4 gallons of just PG or VG. I do the 3 VG 1 PG, soy or palm based VG is available. The stuff keeps for a couple years NO problem if kept in a dark, cool place.

Here is a link for you:
VG/PG glyCUBEs and Drums: Essential Depot
and you can save 20% on the shipping with code SHIP20.

Looking forward to seeing you around!

Welcome and glad you joined. Need to contact each vendor you intend to buy from and order with your own stipulation.
It may cost you some extra effort, but husbands health will be worth it.

I'm no doctor either, but the OP quoted what the RTS site said above about their VG...Made from coconuts = palm based. So, IMO I wouldn't use palm based. I'd use soy based instead = not made from coconuts.

I will second Essential Depot. They carry VG that is either soy based or palm based, and you can specify which one you want
