BEST PG VG Vendors

[sky4it]

Hey everyone, I havent been around in a while. But I have a good question.

I used to buy my PG and VG from Essential Depot which is good quality stuff. But when I went and looked at the prices, wow, they have went through the roof.
Is there another place to buy it where its good quality Kosher graded stuff? Maybe I should just pay the price, after I treasure my lungs.

Thoughts???

I last bought from Bulk Apothecary only because I don’t need more than a pint or two at a time.

I've bought my PG and VG for DIY...from Bulk Apothecary since 2016. Have never gotten any that wasn't great. They're 1 of the largest actual manufacturers of it in the US, under the brand name Nature's Oil. Of course, there's NO "oil" in their PG and VG though. Many other ECF members have bought theirs from Bulk Apothecary for years, too. They usually have a 15% off coupon code that will pop up on their website, for use on the 1st order anyone places with them!

Quite a few switched over from Essential Depot during Covid, because ED was really gouging people for their PG and VG, to make homemade hand sanitizer. Theirs jumped up immediately in price...to as much as 3-4 times the cost it used to be. Bulk Apothecary and others didn't do that!

If you have Amazon Prime and get FREE Shipping...their Nature's Oil brand PG and VG are sold on Amazon, too.

Greetings after 5 long years!

Once upon a time NicRiver was my one-stop supplier for VG PG, nic, and flavors, but they shut out end users years ago so I won't buy from them ever again even if they're still willing to sell me VG/PG. Used to buy the GlyCubes from Essential Depot until their prices jumped into the stratosphere. Also used to buy from Bulk Apothecary but their shipping on the 5 gallon drums has jumped dramatically and wipes out the savings. Now, I just buy from Amazon. Tried various brands and they've all been great. Simple Nature is a good one. This is my most recent, 21 bucks a gallon, free shipping:

Thanks for the Greeting. Nice to chat with you guys again.

Essential Depot is 189 buck for one jug of VG and one of PG.

Would you mind sending me the link for the PG as well? Also is that the same brand as Bulk Apothacaries Natures Oil, that JCiFLA said in there post? I am being very careful about what I buy.

I usually buy the two gallons/$55.

This one is also saved in my list (a couple bucks cheaper). My assumption is all the PG/VG sold on Amazon comes from the same two or three manufacturers and is all going to be equally good, so I don't pay much attention to brands and just go with what's cheapest at that moment. Usually it's Simple Nature, and their VG/PG has always been perfect.

Nope, it's not the same brand. The Nature's Oil PG and VG that I buy on Amazon, if/when it works out to be cheaper there, than on Bulk Apothecary's own website, because of the Amazon Prime free S/H) are these 2:

Amazon.com: Nature's Oil (USP Grade) Vegetable Glycerin 99.7% (10 lbs) 1 Gallon : Beauty & Personal Care

Thank you so much for your help. I just love this forum, Like I took a picture of the mod I am still using but i noticed nobody is taking pics of there mods setups anymore. I guess the Pods have taken over. I still wick and make my juice and love the vape. I did buy one German double coil mod, it was absurd, there was so much vape in the air, it was fuzzy all over and gave me a headache. No thanks.

One thing i noticed tho. Essential Depot uses palm oil in there VG, some others use other oils.

Whatever the case, thank you.
