You think someone is going to vape something weird like this and die, and then cause the Domino effect of the e-cigs killed a kid movement?
Hi Folks,
I know this horse has been flogged several times already but I think there's a few points that needs to be made as clear as possible.
1. glycerin can be synthetic, animal or vegetable.
2. USP is a measure of purity and not content. (It can be applied to a host of things including glycerin.) This link has a good chart comparing grades on glycerin. Glycerin Specifications, Crude Glycerin, Technical Grade Glycerin, USP Grade Glycerin
3. There is conflicting reports about what Humco said. Walmart Humco Humco: Skin Protectant Glycerin USP, 6 Oz : Questions, Answers, How To, FAQs, Tips, Advice, Answers, Buying Guide Read answer two and four. Keep in mind that the term 'human consumption' does not imply that the speaker is including vaping or even knows what 'vaping' means lol. My understanding is that glycerin does not have to be vegetable glycerin to be used in foods.
My take: Color me paranoid if you want to, but I want to see USP and the word VEGETABLE on my glycerin and NO OTHER INGREDIENTS (especially no 3 in 1 oil
).Well, why not? It's readily available. Vape on!
...OP lives in the Middle East....no Michael's, no Wallmart, no Hobby Lobby.....No USP grading locally....
There are several vendors in the forum that could be able to ship proper supplies to you.....

Oops, I didn't notice that.
@OP: See if you can find some 100 percent vegetable glycerin. It's usually made from palm oil in your neck of the woods and many consider food grade to be good enough as long as it's vegetable and not animal or synthetic.
Palm oil is a super food (as is virgin cold-pressed coconut oil). That's good to know JD1, I didnt know that. Thx.
In theory, I think it's suppose to be the same molecules regardless of what plant it comes from. But I've seen a few posts where folks feel it's slightly sweeter if it's from palm kernel oil or coconut. Who knows, they could be right.
Do you remember what brand or where it was purchased from with the palm kernel oil? I wouldn't mind trying some.
I'll look through my history and see if I can find some of the links.
Edit: Found one. In the post from Hellen A. Handbasket she mentions Starwest. I've also seen companies that claim coconut as the source which I would think should be the same.

This is what I use and like . NOW Foods Vegetable Glycerine 16 fl oz Liquid - Swanson Health Products
BTW- It is USP it is stated on the back of the bottle. Also 100% VG and thinner than most so easy to work with
I heard that it is also available at many health food stores

I'm saving this to look into it. Thanks for your trouble in looking it up, JD1.
