Amazon sent the wrong PG

[spaceballsrules]

I bought quarts of PG and VG off of Amazon based on some reviews I found that said Essential Depot had good quality for vaping, and the price is oh so nice. Well, I received the Essential Depot VG, which I taste tested, both straight on the tongue and vaping. It has a nice consistency and sweetness, so I am happy with it.
The problem is with the PG. Like I said, I ordered the Essential Depot brand, but instead, I received Froggy's Fog brand. I did a taste test with it, and although it vapes just fine and has no off flavor, when I put it on my tongue, it has a bitter/sour twang to it. Is that what PG should taste like on the tongue?
Should I chuck the bottle and just grab some PG from a trusted DIY vendor, or should I just keep using this stuff? Like I said, it vapes just fine, and I have already made a couple of juices with it that taste fine. Also, the reviews on Amazon are full of people who use it for making DIY juices, and they all seem happy with it. Well, except for one.
Just for reference, here is what I ordered - Propylene Glycol 1 Quart: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
And this is what I received - Amazon.com: Propylene Glycol - Food Grade USP - 1 Quart (32 Oz.): Health & Personal Care
Thanks for any help and advice.

OMG - you used your real name in an Amazon review!

As long as they are standing behind it as being USP food grade I don't see a problem. PG having a slightly bitter taste is not uncommon. (You did read the review by the veterinarian - you aren't alone. lol) As we all know what a liquid tastes or smells like can be very different from what it vapes like. If you aren't picking up "bitter" in the vape you're fine.

I had the Exact same thing happen to me..... Literally same listings... I have liter of the same stuff sitting right here on my desk.

IDK...I'm kinda scared of the stuff. BUT It seem ok..test batches have been alright but some how coming from a clown store makes it less ok.... 0o

If Amazon sent the wrong thing and you ordered the ED version, get in touch with customer support and they should make it right. They may or may not ask you to sent it back, but that'll ensure you get what you actually ordered.

I have been meaning to change my Amazon nom de plume - done and done. Thanks for reminding me.

OK so PG typically has that bitter twang. Good to know.

Yup, the stuff vapes just fine and it hasn't thrown any flavors off that I can notice.

My thought exactly. I just don't trust the stuff.

The thread where I found the recommendation for the ED brand actually also had a note about buying the Froggy's Fog brand VG, and that it had thrown off the flavor of 200ml of juices that they had used it to mix with. Not a good sign.

Already tried that. They said this item is return/refund only. I am not paying to ship it back to them so they can refund me $12. Not worth the effort or expense.

Pg isnt the best tase directly which one exactly? some on the site are listed as being made with food grade ingredients. Froggys Fog Fog Machine Fluids

OK So it isn't supposed to taste good, then.

This is the one they sent to me - http://www.amazon.com/Propylene-Gly...sr=8-2&keywords=Propylene+Glycol&tag=e04ed-20

I think that I will grab a bottle of PG from RTS, and if that tastes the same as this Froggy's brand, then I will use them both. Otherwise, this stuff gets shipped to my local airport for de-icing planes.

Gotta get me some of that Swamp Juice. Nom nom nom!

They do say it is food grade, so that's not my concern. But if you and 'Rose are worried about how it's gonna impact your DIY why not make up some unflavored batches in your usual nic level, age them as you would any other of your DIY stuff, and see if any "off" taste comes out of the unflavored mixes? I really doubt it will carry over into your vape but go unflavored to test.

Phew! That was close. Imagine if people knew your real name! Disaster!

I'd send it back and demand the E.D.

This is an excellent example of why I stick to known reputable vendors, I've wasted enough money the first couple of years getting screwed by "great deals".

I've seen Froggy's Fog brand mentioned from time to time and the comments have always been good. But if you are unhappy with it return it. Amazon is good as far as returns where a mistake has been made. They will even pay postage back if amazon was the one that shipped it.

Already opened it.

Although it pretty much worked out OK for me this time, it is still a lesson learned in my book. I am definitely going with known and trusted vendors from now on when it comes to my DIY. It's not worth the hassle for $5 in savings.

Cool! Glad to hear that others have had good experience with this brand. That was my biggest worry.
