My bad...you're absolutely correct. I actually did search for diethylene but it took me too a tox profile for ethylene instead. Just went back to see if I could find one specifically for diethylene but, while many articles mention it, I can't find an actual tox profile for it. I do however stand corrected.
So, Mr. Research,As you all are probably figuring out by now I have been Mr. Research both for my own vaping use and especially before I started a petition in support of it. Constantly seeing people talking aboutvaping ingredients "specifically propylene glycol" and thought you would all like this link. While I have ready MANY MANY studies I'm hoping you will all find the source to be credible enough for you!
I especially like this line: Concentrations in foods range from <0.001% in eggs and soups to about 15% in some seasonings and flavorings. Propylene glycol is an FDA-approved additive for military dietary rations (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 1997).

What your saying is.... Your wondering how many FDA minions are needed to handle that big old shovel ????? Meanwhile, I am willing to tell them where they can shove it!!!
My $0.02 worth.. Happy vaping.

Ya know, I'm 100% all for that....I'm just not so sure that approach will make sure that we can still order our e-liquids six months down the road.
I watched a youtube video done by Shawn from ZigCigs, where he talked about a study that was done in the 1940's....
Short story, they constantly pumped a high concentrate of vaporized PG into the living environment of monkeys/rats/etc., and for the control they kept another set of monkeys/rats/etc. in a completely normal atmosphere (normal air).
After long term exposure, they did an autopsy on both sets of monkeys (experiment and control) and there were NO differences in the organ health of these animals.
Of course, we all know monkeys are our closest genetic match, so this proves relevant to Humans as well.
Also worth mentioning, PG is actually a germicide... It has been proven to kill the flu virus, and other respiratory diseases. (This is mentioned in the video)

Going on what most of the biggest suppliers produce most of us vape PG.
Most peeps who have tried both, prefer the USP Grade Vegetable Glycol anyway. There may be minor side effects for some with the PG (cramps, dehydration) but I have never heard complaints with the thicker VG, used mainly for baking and making icing on the cake. I made a poll on here. check it out.

most people have been vaping nearly an entire year! I don't think we have anything to worry about.

One of the best meals I ever had was steak and ale pie at a small restaurant in Ely, U.K. I have been trying to make it at home ever since!
Seems I read somewhere, maybe in the forums, that normal analog cigs contain propylene glycol so we may have already been inhaling it. Noticed the other day my little store-bought apple pie contained propylene glycol, and then today my daughter picked up a roll on headache "medicine" Head On, and one of the main ingredients was propylene glycol.
The more you check ingredients lists, the more you see it is in about everything.

Yep, went and checked and it's in analogs, in addition to the carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. I have no problem in haling PG.
As well you can find it in baby teething medicine and their toothpaste for babies
Propylene is also an ingredient in many nasal sprays... If anyone has ever used a nasal spray you have inhaled propylene glycol as well as exposed your mucus membranes to it. Now, most of us don't use nasal sprays on a daily basis, but some people do... My daughter has allergies and it is in her mist... she sniffs it into her nose when needed and can't take a pill.

That's the second time you've said that. I might add a very small amount of VG to my juices (<10%), but in general it's PG that drives my wagon.
Most likely not.
My guess would be about 15% at most use VG instead of PG liquid.
And my guess would be that 20% make their own juice.
And of those that make their own juice, they probably use both PG and VG in their mixes.
My further guess would be an average of about 30% VG mixed with 55% PG and then flavor and water.
No way most of us use VG as was previously noted.
No way.
But I've been wrong before, once or twice.

Glycerin and PG in my kids' cough syrup.
PG in my faux vanilla I noticed today. (This was my grandmother's immy-vanilla kick-down, and is probably 10 years old LOL!!! No I have not touched it yet, YET!)
