I'm with you rondasherrill. I've made stuff that makes my compost heap seem fresh and flowery by comparison.
Wait so wizard labs really is just repackaging and relabeling products? Hahaha I love this thread!
You really believe that WL is manufacturing nicotine, VG, PG, flavorings and other stuff? I just trust WL to test products in a sanitary environment, to sell them at a reasonable price and ship them quickly and safely. I don't trust ANY Chinese companies enough to order from them.
Yeah but is WL buying from china? I just think its funny that people are so confident in purchasing from nothing more than a reseller. And that other business that have been selling this stuff for years and years are "sketchy" or something. I dunno I just think its funny.
Well, please tell us where to buy.....i'm open to any suggestions.
I buy from WL because they are cheap, in the US, and do their own quality control and testing. That's quite a step above the average reseller.
The difference is that Wizard Labs is an accredited FDA lab, so I trust them more than a chinese company. WL tests their products.
I'm not telling anyone where to buy from, but I am calling into question the idea that FDA registration changes much. Do we know the source of their products? Do we know how they test their stuff? It's not that I am saying we can't trust WL, I am just calling into question the idea that we can trust them more than (for example) tractor supply.
But yo it'd be cool to do a large scale coop for pg and vg and nic. Then we could select a producer.

I asked my brother to pick me up some VG once from Walgreens, told him to ask the pharmacist, apparently they didn't sell it in a bottle. he bought me "Liquid Glycerin" laxative suppositories, I'm not 100% sure if he knows what laxatives or suppositories are, I still have the box, unopened, didn't have the courage to return it
Having been through more than my share of "life" in 56 years, this animal uses his "mind" and looks long and hard at everything. I learned you can't even trust your neighbors.
VG is the cure for cancer. Big companies don't like to stock it so people go buy less effective medication.
Just sayin...
No, I can't find it locally either. I've looked everywhere too.

I pick up VG at my local CVS. Look near the baby supplies/makeup for a 177mL bottle labeled PURE GLYCERIN. It is a clear label with blue lettering. 5.99 for 177mL and it vapes beautifully. I did a taste AND vape comparison side by side from online retailers VG and it is comparable to madvapes/ecigexpress/myfreedomsmokes quality...which is the way it should be considering ALL of them are USP. At my CVS it is on the bottom shelf in the back right corner of the store near the vitamin oils and adjacent to the diapers.
You paid 3.3 cents per ml. At WL, you would pay $9.49 for 500 ml, that is 1.87 cents per ml. CVS is much more expensive. Of course, that doesn't include shipping, but I would assume you would order other things as well. I'm not going into the long argument again, but you are paying more locally for VG.
The $2.49 six oz VG from publix is not a myth. One store on the way home didnt have any, but at another right next to the baindaids and it is there. The same brand walmart now sells for over 4 bucks. Bread and VG at the same time. I bought 3 bottles.
Wow, nice deal on that Publix VG! Unfortunately, going to pass it up since I just received a $200+ order from WL and expect that to last me through next Spring.
Carry on ... enjoying the discussion

PG and VG are probably the cheapest part of the cost of vaping. All I can say about buying from tractor stores/walmart/publix/cvs is:
penny wise.. pound foolish

I have to second what BakuPeg says about VG at Publix. It's there and I get it all the time from there. I don't know what they sell at Walmart but the one I get at Publix is USP. Mine is on the top shelf in the isle for advil, etc. It's to the left of all that stuff. It's cheap and it's good. I have 2 bottles of it now. The weird thing though that I have noticed is that they only put like 2 bottles of it out at a time, unless people are buying it alot? I dunno. Also, the other Publix not too far away doesn't have it. It seems to be random at Publix.
Stop screwing around with retail outlets. I bought a litre of the stuff from a cosmetic wholesaler for like $7.70 plus shipping. They also had propylene glycol and I got both bottles in under two days.
Usually listed under "humectants."

I and my fellow DIY mixers have every right to buy our ingredients from any store and use them. USP VG is USP VG. USP PG is USP PG. If *I* choose to purchase my DIY items online or pick them up locally it is my choice. I do not wish to wait for my VG and PG so I get it locally. Is that a crime?
