I understand some folks have been successful in finding propylene glycol (PG) at local farm stores as it has some use for animals. (I don't want to think about what that might be.)

I purchased my vegetable glycerin (VG) at Michael's (craft store--candy making/baking aisle), and I ordered my PG online.

Why bother searching around brick and mortar stores when it is so easy and cheap to use the internet?
Some of us like to check things out in the real world.

I bought carts on a Sunday (left mine at home.) Wouldn't have been able to vape if it weren't for a brick and mortar shop.

If you did not have a need to have them IMMEDIATELY, would you go out to a brick and mortar or just buy it from an internet site?

Trust me, I am an immediate gratification guy. I paid close to $200 more than the internet price for my last cell phone because I did not want to wait. However in some instances I think the B&M route is actually more of a hassle than the internet route. This is one of those instances.

But that is just my opinion and I am not forcing it upon anybody. Just offering the suggestion.

Considering that its just the next town over and I don't have to pay shipping-- its a draw, the cost is just a $1 less in the store than it would be online. So if the planets align and I'm in town for something else, at the store is fine. If I happen to be at home and think to order more online, I'd order them online.

Don't get me wrong, online shopping is great but it's nice to know that there are options in a pinch.

It's used to treat Ketosis in cattle. Don't ask me what Ketosis is... I wasn't in 4H. I imagine it's easy to Google... but you wanted to know, not me :)

The use for animals is to dilute iodine when treating wounds I believe :) Sorry, I was just really excited that I knew that one.

Correct, except hardly anyone still uses iodine anymore.

And occasionally a mass vaping of stalls and equipment. PG is bactericide and viricidal and doesn't require cleaning up after its use. It also doesn't harm the animals (you can vape them right in their stalls.)
