We only vape vegetable glycerin VG, and PG also (Propylene Glycol)

Pure 100% USP Glycerin in the store is allowed to contain animal glycerins - we do not vape that. The Humco brand in Walmart - Humco said that is all vegetable. The Wilton brand used for cake decorating (see Michael's Crafts stores and elsewhere) - that is OK. And most DIY ejuice makers buy their vegetable glycerine from DIY ejuice supply vendors and ejuice vendors. So in your country, if you want VG you have to look for pure 100% Vegetable glycerin. And BTW - if you happen to care, PG is Halal too according to one list I saw. And there is PG in cigarettes anyway (it is a humectant for tobacco).

I don't even like much VG. I use cartomizers and I want my juices thin. I use 20% or less VG. I am using mostly PG. Vaporized PG is used for inhalation therapy in hospitals, even for lung transplant patients according to a thoracic surgeon.

HOWEVER - Nobody can safe vaping is absolutely safe. There have been no long term studies. But we were smokers! Cigarettes have a known 4000 chemicals in them including MAOI's and carcinogens and now carpet glue in the paper to meet fire safety standards, plus the tar and carbon monoxide from burning all of that. Based on how much healthier we feel we are pretty certain vaping is a LOT safer than smoking. Vaping is not meant for non-smokers. It keeps us away from cigarettes which are worse.

I found that oddly fascinating and googled it! here's a link Halal Food Guide, Islamic Halal Food List

Non US manufacturers will often mention "Food Grade" or "Pharmacopia Grade" on their products, not sure if it's a legal requirement however
