I've been using pg/vg from ecigexpress and wizard labs. They are identical items. I've used them for over a year without complaint!

Ps. I just re-read your Title and I'm guessing you're looking for a nicotine ejuice? If so I apologize. I'm a DIY'er of my juices and those vendors are where I go to. They both do carry ejuices however but I don't know about quality.

If you are looking for just the VG without any nicotine, I just picked up a bottle of 100% VG at wal-mart, Yes Wal-mart! It has a slightly sweet flavor and makes some wicked clouds!

I found it in the pharmacy section and looks like this...

6 oz (177 ml) for $3.89.

Yes if you require cutting your nicotine content you can use the walmart glycerine but I would avoid it if you can...since it's food grade...

You will find it NEAR the pharmacy next to essential oils used for bathing in most likely

Usually you can find the right nic content level for you though without having to resort to walmart glycerine

Nothing wrong with buying that quantity just making sure the new guy had a bit of info...I know if you store nic juice in dark glass and in a dark cold place it can last you two years and 24 bucks is nothing really...once the nicotine yellows you'll know it's getting a bit old

And adults with no kids in the house can freeze or refrigerate also...lots of methods

I thought "USP" means United States Pharmacopeia or Pharmaceutical grade? The bottle I just got from wal-mart says "USP" on it (you can see it in red just under the "G" of Glycerin in the picture above. I just googled and found several links saying it's pharmaceutical grade...

I'm not going to get into the actual debate of using walmart glycerine because there is a very good post on it somewhere in this forum I read that several people collaborated on with TONS of information on the subject

If I have a situation where I needed it to adjust my nicotine content I would use it without worry but I don't require it because I have found my nic level I am happy with

If you are concerned about The USP nicotine that is made for walmart then you can find better information on this forum from better sources than me...just search it you should be able to find the thread I read here

Below is a quote from Post #42 of this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ble-glycerin-vs-humco-glycerin-warning-5.html


"I'm a pharmacist in PA. I'm going to copy and paste a post I wrote in another subforum:

Go to the skin care aisle of most any pharmacy and you'll find a small(usually 6oz) bottle labled Glycerine, USP(Some pharmacies don't carry outright , but will special order for you). The label may have it listed as CVS Glycerine, USP or Rite Aid Glycerine, USP or Humco Glycerine, USP or Family Pharmacy Glycerine, USP etc.. you get my point. Whatever it's labeled, it's Glycerine, USP 99.5% anhydrous(meaning 0.5% water). It will cost anywhere from $3 to $6 for 6oz.(CHEAP) This is vegetable glycerine, absolutely, positively, no doubt. How do I know this? I'm a pharmacist. All OTC glycerine,USP is made by 1 single manufacturer, HUMCO. It is then contract packaged into the different pharmacy labeled bottles. I've personally called HUMCO and spoke with their QA(quality assurance) person. He assured me that HUMCO's Glycerine is in fact Vegetable source Glycerine. The reason it's labeled Glycerine and not Vegetable Glycerine is because #1 it is listed in the USP as Glycerine, USP and therefore(in order to keep the USP certification) must be labeled as it's listed in the USP. #2 it would cause confusion as Glycerine is Glycerine(regardless of the source - chemically 1,2,3-propane triol), to add the moniker VEGETABLE, makes it sound like it's two different and distinct products, it isn't. Also, USP grade Glycerine is the purest you can get. Food Grade "vegetable Glycerine" you get in health food store saying 99.9% is BS. Since they do not have to meet any standard(such as USP standards) they could say anything, they could say 10000% pure. If you get USP grade, you know you are getting exactly what is labeled(within allowable USP limits) and it is made to most stringent requirements available in the US. (i.e. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia- drugs have meet higher standards then foods do). Kashrut(kosher) laws are Jewish religious dietary laws having to do with the preparation of food products and really have nothing to do with the labeled purity of the product. Also, Kashrut(kosher) laws are jurisdictional(handled differently in different places). In some cases a rabbi must come to the manufacturer and verify processes and equipment conform to kosher law and in some places it's enough that the manufacturer says or thinks he is conforming to the kosher laws. In any case USP and Kosher are 2 different things. There is no such listing in the USP for "Kosher Glycerine". To the people who are feeling naseous using pharmacy bought Glycerine, USP, it may be a placebo effect(thinking your not using the real VG) or you may have a sensitivity to Glycerine(unlikely). But it is not because the Pharmacy bought Glycerine,USP is inferior or NOT Vegetable Glycerine."

It's all good! I only bought some to add to juice I use in my dripper. I'm not a "big cloud nut" but there is something satisfying about blowing out a massive amount of vapor on occasion!

From what i recall I think it is very likely that Humco makes the glycerine that most vape shops sell..it is also very possible that reputable nic vendors use it also since their prices are so competitive...the higher quality glycerine made by dow may or may not be the base they use so I cant be positive

The posts I read here did not deter me from using the walmart glycerin I have when needed but they did give me some pause to using it to cut 100mg nic down to 50mg to save money instead of just buying 48mg liquid straight out

I very well may be completely off base having any concern at all but places like wizardlabs selling high quality nic liquids at all strengths for such a reasonable price I just find no good reason to cut them

BUT! If i were the type to be vaping liquids with zero nicotine I would definitely not trust any glycerine more than walmart (humco) glycerine unless it was specifically the DOW glycerine which will always be more expensive

Because like you said...almost everyone is using Humco glycerine or something worse
