Difference between PG & VG from various suppliers?

[DeKosta]

Hello
So Im wanting to get into making my own juice.

Im wondering is there any noticable difference betweens different companies PG & VG versus another companies PG and VG ?
Can i just go with the cheapest I can find and not get subpar quality?

And my last question is what kind of utility is the easiest and best way to try new juices?
I mean it must be a lot of hassle to fill up, rinse and repeate on a Vivi Nova when trying your batches..

Thanks!

There are different grades (purities) of PG and VG, and therefore differences. Look for a USP food-grade label and you should be reasonably assured of quality.

Many people "drip" when trying their liquids. You can use a simple 510 cartomizer and drip directly into the batting/wicking material, or something more high-performance in the dripping atomizer world. If you're looking for taste, a couple drops should tell you if you're on the right track.

many here go to essential depot, good stuff, decent prices. and a couple 510 cheapo drippers will work good for testing juices

For pharmaceutical quality products in the USA and other countries these letters appear immediately after the words Glycerin (for VG) or Propylene Glycol (for for PG) on the label: USP (United States Pharmacopeia). This is the only pharmaceutical grade product in the US. In addition, all USP product will have a lot number and an expiration date (it could be up to five years) on the label or container. If the product labeling doesn't have all of these features then it isn't pharmaceutical grade.

There are similar standards for pharmaceutical grade Glycerin and Propylene Glycol in other countries. In the UK, the pharmaceutical product must meet standards set by British Pharmacopoeia and the letters BP appear on the product labels.
