I need it immediately and this is the only kind I can find in AZ near me. Walmart stopped caring the recommended glycerin and Walgreens is the only one that carries this stuff but is this okay?

Africare 100% Glycerin | DSC Products | Beauty & Spa | Walgreens

It says no animal glycerin and it's Kosher.

Please help!!!!

Glycerin?
Glycerin is the same thing as VG, just dilute it with some distilled water, vodka, or 151 till you get the consistency you want. I add glycerin to all my D.I.Y. no sign of any clogged atomizers, and a lot of the time I add a drop of glycerin right on to my attys with some of my liquids that don't produce much vapor.

Okay so was emberl saying Glycerin in general will clog your atty? I thought a vast majority of e-cig users cut their juice with glycerin . . . .

Do you have a CVS near by, we recently bought a few chains in AZ, And cali. All CVS's have Glycerin in the Facial Care Section. Have seen a post or 2 about people using it with no ill effects

I'll take a look . . . Their website didn't have much to offer and I'm starting to get annoyed. I want this stuff tonight and don't feel like having to wait for shipping from buying it online.

The Walgreens near me all advertise the Africare stuff, but don't actually carry it, from what I can tell. On the other hand, CVS doesn't advertise any type of glycerine, but I did find a bottle of CVS brand VG in their skin care section, on the bottom shelf. It's marked USP, 99.5% anhydrous, and it works fine for me...

I've been to 2 Walmarts and humco is no where to be seen :grr::grr::grr:
I use glycerin to cut all my e-liquids. You can buy it at Hobby Lobby in the cake section. You might even be able to buy it online at Hobby Lobby's website, not sure. It is thick, but I use small 5MI bottles. One third glycerin, one third LorAnn Flavoring, and one third Totally Wicked e-liquid. The flavoring and e-liquid thin it out for the perfect mix consistency. It does add a bit more vapor to any e-cig I use it with. The glycerin cost 2.18 for a 2 FL OZ (59mL) bottle. It is Wilton brand and is labeled: Restores consistency of icing colors used in making cakes. I found it when watching YouTube videos about e-cigs. A gal from Kentucky shows how she mixes and is very popular on a few other sites. I have her video posted on my MySpace page. Hope this helps a few of you who are having a hard time finding glycerin.
