100% Organic?

[tapehead]

I still have much to learn before even considering making a purchase, but when I do begin making my own e liquid I would like to purchase only organic VG and flavors.

Can anyone recommend places to buy from?

VG is a chemical: Glycerin (glycerol) C3H8O3

Water is a chemical. H2O.

If you mean "organic" as in organic foods then there is no such thing as organic glycerin or organic water.

Read this Food Labs Use An Average of 2000 Chemicals To Create 500 'Natural Flavors' You Would Never Suspect Are Artificial to understand why the 'organic certification' for flavor chemicals just isn't the same as it is for food.

There is a a certified organic USP VG available that can be found here: Jedwards International, Inc.. bulk organic vegetable glycerin It's made from certified organic vegetable oils (which should bypass any possible issues with jatropha esters that are not commonly tested for in other USP VGs). The smallest available size is one gallon. We just found it recently (after just ordering a gallon of our normal VG), so we haven't yet ordered or tested it in our juices.

I realize there may not be any noticeable differences between organic or otherwise, but I like to support organic farming practices when I can.

I found this place that sells 16 oz of organic VG. Would it work?

It's not USP. I wouldn't use it.

 

[Hoosier]

It's not USP, nor do they have a purity figure shown anywhere.

I wouldn't use it, but it might be fine for you?

We2 are strongly devoted to organic farming (and living). But throughout our research we're finding that chemicals approved to be used in flavors/food that are 'certified organic', haven't necessarily ever even seen an organic farm. They may not have even started as a plant.

How are you Defining 100% Organic?

 

[tapehead]

Thanks for the feedback.

I obviously have a lot to learn about what goes into e juice. I was under the false impression it could be made only from vegetable glycerin and extracts.

What I meant by 100% organic was all plant matter involved would be taken from an organic source.

 

[Hoosier]

... it could be made only from vegetable glycerin and extracts.

You're free to tell folks that's how you did it. I won't tell.

OK... Once Again, what is an "Organic Source".

I'm not trying to Split Hairs. Or Be Argumentative. It's just that Some people use the Word "Organic" to mean Different things than Other people. And the Word "Organic" in Labeling might mean some Else.

I found a VG that is made from organic palm and is USP grade. Most VG on the market is made from soy. While it doesn't matter to most that was important to me. Vegetable Glycerin - Bulk Herb Store

Organic flavorings from Nature's Flavors can be purchased at Nature's Flavor Organic e-Liquid Flavoring | ecigExpress
Nude Nicotine has organic flavorings too but their site is down (planned…I got an email announcement from them) until Wednesday.

Haha, I suppose I wasn't very specific. I mean sources produced through organic farming methods.

I also noticed most VG is from soy, which doesn't matter to me as long as it is produced through organic farming methods. I know GMOs aren't bad, but the pesticides and herbicides used during their cultivation are.

Thank you for the links.
