Dekang E-liquid uses PEG not PG?

[ericdjobs]

Looks like this was just a mix-up of labeling.. the juice did not actually contain PEG, was just a sticker. Thanks again Hoog for the quick update.

Here's his answer, his post is on the 2nd page.

ericdjobs.. Unfortunately this is part of our debacle with our e-liquid bottler.. They put peg stickers on 4k bottles by accident but none of them have peg they are standard pg/vg blend and why they taste the same. We've been taking the stickers off the bottles when we move them from one warehouse to the other picking area but seems a few slipped out. Sorry for the confusion on them but they do not contain peg.

The whole deal with peg is that a by product of the manufacture of it produces DEG which needs to be purified out. Dekang does make peg e-liquids but it is by special request only.

Our bottler was kind enough to send me the Dekang receipt for our last batch of e-liquid.

I had some cartos that had vg/peg 50/50 they were disgusting actually still have them some crap ordered from china.

Does it mention which PEG they use? I seem to recall that PEG 400 was in use for juices for a while. Wasn't there a reason that its usage was discontinued? From looking at the MSDS sheets of PG, VG and PEG 400 it doesn't seem like there are any health issues you should be worried about. (In fact, PEG 400 has the highest LD50 of all three; VG has the lowest.)

I just got my 50ml bottle of Dekang DK-TAB

I'm curious.. the bottle's label says "dktab, 24mg, with PEG"

PEG?

Does that mean they are using PEG (Polyethylene glycol) instead of PG (Proplyene Glycol) now in their e-juices? I don't see this mentioned anywhere!

It seems there's a distict difference between the two.. and I don't see anyone else who uses PEG.. slightly worried.

Here is PEG: Polyethylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is PG: Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't know where you bought PEG juice, but you might ask them about it......

Here is what I found on Dekang's web site......:
6. Can you tell me the different of PG, VG and PEG e liquid.
Answer:
PG is somewhat sweet, transparent, with strong water absorption
VG is saponification glycerine ， sweet as sugar ， poor mobility vapor, PEG is without any sweet ， diluted ,not good at vaporizing, mainly for consolidated other solvents

It's the 50ml bottle that MadVapes sells.. not the custom chinese e-liquid, it's the 50ml bottle of 24mg DK-TAB

It's not mentioned anywhere that it's PEG 400 based.. on the bottle it just says "With PEG" so I'm guessing it is.. I'm vaping it and nothing is really wrong with it, but still a little nervous about it.. considering someone above said it was pulled from being used in e-juice due to health hazards?? what??

LOL PEG "is" PG.....poly-ethylene glycol

I just got some DK-Ry4 in today and it doesn't say it contains PEG for what it's worth. I heard that most of the pre-filled cartos used a lot of PEG...

hmm, I've got some PEG 400 here.. and some PG, the PEG is considerably thicker than the PG.. the PG acts like water, the PEG looks to be about half the viscosity of VG. from what I understand, some vendors were using PEG as a substitute for PG. Mainly for people who are allergic to PG.

No, they are not the same things. Their names are similar...

Just check the links I posted in the OP.

I've been using DK-TAB 50ml bottles for awhile now. I've always wondered how this particular blend produces SO MUCH VAPOR compared to any other 100% 'PG' juices I know..... but this recent bottle with the "With PEG" label really enlightened me. I believe this "DK-TAB" has been a PEG400 juice for awhile now.. because it's the exact same thing i've been vaping for months. The vapor with PEG400 is much better than PG, I'm just a little miffed because it's not mentioned anywhere on the site that this particular juice is PEG400.

There's an article in the ECF Library about it: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/177551-pg-vg-peg.html

The short version is that PEG is safe.

Huh. I'm curious. Is there any symptomatic information on low-dosage prolonged DEG ingestion? I'm wondering if the Chinese liquid I got last year that caused certain health problems used PEG that didn't have the DEG purified out of it, and all I can find are significant toxicity symptoms.

Thanks so much for the explaination! I guess this blend is just wicked awesome with the vapor production after all!

How do I change a review on your site or can you modify it? I put one up just to let people know it was PEG, in case people were trying to avoid it... but now I feel like a ..........

Great customer service as always Hoog, thanks.
