Can this be added to eJuice to preserve it?

Does anyone know if adding a drop or two to our stored ejuice would be safe? Anyone know anything about this stuff?

Not sure. Mine don't last long enough to need preservation anyway

 

[ritalee76]

Mine either LOL

off hand i'd say this is cosmetic grade, not food grade, so i wouldn't risk it.
i'm also jealous of anyone who has enough liquid to worry about preserving it. lol

I sure wouldn't risk it. Especially since the closest thing to consumption they list there is lip balms, which hardly counts.

I personally will have no problem with using my e-liquid after the so-called expiration date. It's not a bottle of antibiotics, and there will not be a large purple organism staring back at me from inside the bottle in 2011.

Ok, I don't have the link... but, somewhere in this forum, there was a link to "bugs" growing in ejuice. I think it might have been in one of the "ejucie gone green" type threads and when you clicked a link it brought you to a web page that showed microscopic images of "bugs"

(BTW. I got Mr.Monk genes... bugs and koodies trouble me.)

Thanks to everyone for the advise to stay away from the stuff.

I wouldn't risk it either. Can juice lose its taste after awhile? Has anyone experienced this?

First off, most of the qualities claimed in the items description are already naturally present in Propylene Glycol (80-90% of juice by volume avg.)

Second, I would want to know the ingredient list for this product before I even considered vaping it. It's really weird they list ingredients for their flavors and not this product.

Might just turn out to be PG and ethanol anyhow though, but don't even think about using it until you know for sure!

The INCI for LiquiPar Optima is: Phenoxyethanol (and) Methylparaben (and) Isopropylparaben (and) Isobutylparaben (and) Butylparaben.

It is a common preservative for cosmetics.
