I get my PG & VG from Essential Depot. Bulk Apothecary has a good reputation too, but I've not used them.
Definitely shop around. Some places the prices got jacked up, possibly covid related. We used to go to Tractor Supply for PG. Usually find a coupon.
The only thing I know is kosher food grade for vg. Kosher is about the base, and food grade is about the purity.
I've bought VG at Walmart. They dont have huge bottles of though. River supply is a good place to get this and flavorings too. Nicotine if you need it also. But ya better get your nicotine bought up before the end of this month, the price is likely to skyrocket to the unaffordable level if they actually put that tax on it. I like river supply personally because they have good stuff at decent prices and prompt shipping.
Don't know if these may be of any use, but I thought that I'd have a look around and see what could be found.

Essential tripled their price when Covid hit. Support them if you like.
Heartland didn't raise their price a cent and their palm-based VG is just as good.
YMMV

I haven't needed any for several years (and won't for many more), but just checked. Indeed, they have raised their prices a lot.
DIY, 65% VG, about 5 ml a day, so I need roughly half a gallon of VG/PG per year.
I bought a couple of Glycubes from ED back when they were priced better. I dug up my order confirmations: I paid $39 for the first in 2015 ($61.94 including shipping and tax), and $48 for the second in 2017 ($70.94 including shipping and tax). Tax was because I had them shipped to my place in Florida and ED is also in Florida.
In principle, I should easily have 12 years worth left -- assuming it stays good of that long. I did re-bottle it all in 32-oz glass bottles. They are stored in the cases the bottles came it, at room temperature. So far, I have not detected any sign of degradation (no off smell or taste).
I store my nicotine in a cool, dry place, for me that's the basement. In the cardboard box it came in, never had a problem.
And speaking of which, I went to Walmart to get some glycerin and they were out. None. So...hello river supply. Liter of VG was less than 6 dollars and I've got some more flavorings on the way too.
FWIW, I once stored a 240ml bottle of 100mg/ml nic at room temp. A year later it was a beautiful translucent golden shade. It was water clear when I bought it. I used it and it had a little stronger nic taste, but was fine.
Since then, I've stored all my nic in the upright freezer at 0F and it's all clear after several years of DIY.

Agree. I have 3 liters of 100mg nic in the freezer just because I want to know I'm covered for a few years. Who knows what will happen in the future. Cigarette tax income for state government drops as people stop smoking or switch to an alternative. If they decide to tax the vaping DIY crowd to recoup tax receipts prices will rise.
