Does anyone use Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PG400)?

[FONT="]I was wondering if anyone uses Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PG400)?

If so, is the "stale" taste noticeable and can it be overcome by the selection of certain flavors?[/FONT]

The e-cig website states

Due in part to its lowest toxicity and highest quality, PEG 400 is widely used in a variety of best quality of pharmaceutical formulations, such as mouthwash, cosmetics and foods.

PEG400 should be safer than PG and VG. However it has some stale taste so that the flavoring with PEG400 maybe not so good as the flavoring with PG or VG which have some sweet taste. If you are looking for the best flavorings, not the best safety first, you may need to select PG, VG ...

Key phrase IMO

PEG400 should be safer than PG and VG

As far as I can tell, there is nothing to even begin to indicate either is "unsafe" so "should be safer" raises serious questions as a marketing gimmick/ploy

I'm just curious if anyone has used it. My interest does not stem from "should be safer," rather I'm interested in an alternative. If safety were an issue, I would use pure VG since it is made strictly from plant oils. My interest is in terms of taste and viscosity. PG has no taste, but burns faster than VG (or PG/VG mix).
