Any alternatives to VG/PG/PEG?

Other than these three, is there anything else worth looking at as a base liquid?

I have heard of people using triacetin. I don't know the pros/cons/safety

I think it is used by The Perfumers Apprentice for their flavours

Yes, I was aware that triacetin was sometimes used a s a solvent for aroma molecules. Not sure what its vape properties would be as a base liquid. If it is like ethanol, which is also widely used as a solvent for aroma molecules, it would not work as thinning ethanol-based flavoring with more ethanol would not vape well and may even be dangerous.

Does anyone know what triacetin is like by itself? Is is a viscus liquid like PG and VG that evaporates in a similar way when heated?

Yes, I had previously seen that on Wiki. I read on another site that it is made from and is a purer form of VG. No doubt more expensive but I would be curios if there are any advantages to vaping with it. Anyone on the board had experience vaping with triacetin as the base liquid in juice?

I never tried it but i read it has a bitter taste and fatty aroma. To what degree idk but doesn't sound appetizing
