A little PG/VG Purity Confusion..

[Iffy]

are there good reasons to be guarded about showing people a COA or purity data?

Competitors...

Another thing to consider is that NOW doesn’t know Who you are or What your Intentions are.

For all they know, you could be a Senior Partner of a Huge Law Firm.

A Firm that is Putting together a 27 Trillion Dollar Lawsuit on behalf of their Client who Claims that NOW VG Stained His/Her Carpet when it was spilled and has Suffered Severe Emotional Damages requiring Life Long 24-7 Care in a Luxury Villia in the Caymon Islands.

It just occurred to me that the NOW COA might show that it was made in ??....?? Vietnam.

Or East Overshoe Wisconsin.

I don’t buy ANYTHING from East Overshoe Wisconsin. I had a Girl Friend run off with one of the Band Members and He was from East Overshoe Wisconsin.

I Hate East Overshoe Wisconsin!

I dunno how to read it?

I guess it says that at least 99.7% is Glycerin. Not sure what the other .3% is if it isn't Water?

BTW - How can something be 101%

 

[Cyrus Vap]

I think that's because there is a margin of error built into every test

I think...

So, assuming we trust the source, NOW is legit

 

[TTK]

Result of the test shows this sample to be 99.75% "pure". The requirements are 99.7%, which could be 99.66 minimum, I believe. So, if the tests are accurate, and we just have to assume they are, it meets, actually exceeds, USP spec. What is the EP spec percentage?

I should have mentioned this before but I did not read enough to know NOW was on trial lol. I have been using NOW for a couple years in my 50/50 mixes no issues at all. Even cleared up a friends throat after a bad PG reaction. It is great stuff. It was cool to see the test results they put out but I bought my first bottle years ago from Whole Foods and they did verify for me that NOW was pharma, Food and USP grade suitable for all use and was ingestible.

Cyrus Vap deserves a big THANK YOU for following through and providing this information.

 

[zoiDman]

But the thing that I'm confused about is the Percentage of the Total that is NOT Glycerin.

Maybe I'm missing it.

99.7% is Glycerin. What is the remaining .3% ? Hexadimytholchoride?

99.7% is the USP requirement. The results of the sample were 99.75%. The other 0.25% is unknown to us, but if USP only requires 99.7% and does not specify what the remainder, 0.3%, must be, then should we worry about it? I don't know for sure. But, it would be best to see the complete analysis rather than just the part that shows it exceeds USP purity requirements.

I wonder if Cyrus Vap could get NOW to send the impurity analysis on the COA?

No, I'm not Worried.

I use that CVS Brand and it Maybe Killing Me. But it appears to be doing it Much Slower than the Analogs were.

So that's a Good Thing.

Not worried it is ingestible and meets USP, FOOD, and EP standards. I don't think we can ask for more than that? We should however follow future testing for inhalation or even ask for it. Until they do that we are on our own with the choice to test inhalation for ourselves. I do believe however that PG and VG is used in a few other applications that are approved for inhalation. Such as smoke machines and ventilation systems.

 

[mwa102464]

mwa, I miss you

where does one get PnG VG besides ECX and the no longer viable free sample that was ravaged by the vape militia?

Why that's simple my man, simply ordering it right fro the same source that provided the Free Gallon samples, but just paying for it this time around I still have more then a Gallon of the PG on hand too

 

[mwa102464]

I'm surprised no body has thrown the word " Kosher VG " Into the Mix yet as well as Organic.

... I do believe however that PG and VG is used in a few other applications that are approved for inhalation. Such as smoke machines and ventilation systems.

Smoke machine PG & VG is not even up to food grade standards. I've got many, many, gallons of it sitting around...

 

[Cyrus Vap]

I think the remaining percentage is a combination of crap and water

I'm assuming the 'crap' must be within limits, or the COA couldn't say that it meets USP standards

So its probably all good

Hoosier interesting you brought that up. I've also spoken with Froggies Fog dot com on the phone quite a bit over the past few days, I can't speak for their PG (but it is labeled 99.7% pure) but their VG is 99.7% Proctor and Gamble. They sent me full PDFS of COA and MSDS if anyone wants them.

So at least that fog machine company seems to be legit

 

[Hoosier]

That's the top notch stuff, Froggies. Most of the juice being pumped in fog/smoke machines is pretty crappy.
