Glycerin anhydrous USP 99.5%

[2ndChoice]

looking into cutting some e juices down, checked CVS non on the shelves went to rite aid and found this. I have a strong feeling this is NOT the correct stuff to cut my e juice with ?

If this is not it, does Walmart carry Glycerin. Is it in the medical or food section ?

It is the right stuff. At my local Walmart, it is in the pharmacy section near the first aid stuff but I know others have said they found it in the cake making supplies. It's also in my favorite grocery store by the alcohol & peroxide. The CVS clerk asked me why so many people were looking for it so I told him. I'm certain that my CVS will never carry it again. He looked at me like I had said I was making bombs instead of e-cigarette liquid.

There's an old Japanese man (pharmacist)at my local rite aid who helped me find this USP, He didn't ask what I wanted it for. I suppose he saw me looking for it for a while before I finally stopped being stubborn and asked him where it was on the shelf.

I usually order from wizard labs but ran out of vg and found some at walmart in the first aid section. It says USP so I'm assuming it is the right stuff. I made a new recipe and for some reason it taste burnt and different. I went from a 60/40% to 50pg/50vg but still don't think that would have been the cause. Any suggestions on what might be make a weird taste?

Curious is there really a difference between my Glycerine compared to VG?????

/v\™ P25!

Looks like the right stuff to me.

Anhydrous??? I'm assuming this is different variation as to what's used as fertilizer. Anytime I read anhydrous I think of burning nostrals and skin. That some crazy potent stuff! This is obviously not the samething as it's intended for human application. Anyone ever got a wiff of the stuff I'm talking about? Wheeeeeew

Anhydrous ammonia that's what it was. I didn't realize anhydrous simply meant the absence of water

 

[dannyv45]

Nope:

I tend to shy away from sniffing or vaping anything that will knock me on my ... or kill me

Damn well it does taste alright. OK maybe I need to hit up a friend who works for the CDC see if she can point me in the right direction for VG for vaping.


I'm sure someone on here back in the day has had lead chips or gas-o-rag ahahaa

You have the correct stuff, 2ndChoice. "Glycerin" (sometimes referred to as "glycerine" as well) is the actual name of the chemical. Some manufacturers label it "vegetable glycerin" to explicitly state that it was not produced as a waste product of another industrial process.

Seeing "USP" on the label is the key. This states that it meets the USP monograph from a composition, characteristic (smell, color, density, etc.), and purity perspective.

Food Grade is a lesser rating that falls under "FCC" or Food Chemical Codex. By definition, any Glycerin that is USP can also be labeled as "Food Grade" because USP is a more stringent standard than food grade (or FCC). It is a marketing thing. Just as we look for "USP" for vaping purposes, people who are actually using it to make food products (Eeee ghads!) want to see "food grade" on the bottle, or they won't buy it.

So... Chillax, and vape your face off... Its all good...

"anhydrous" simply means without water. I'm not sure how that will effect vaping, probably reduce vapor output, If I had to guess...

I'm about ready for a gallon of PG and a gallon of VG. My 2009 PG gallon is near bone dry. My 2009 VG half gallon is starting to drop with the cloud chasers. Wonder where people buy it on the cheap now days?

Amazon or local hospital pharmacy

 

[PaulBHC]

PG at Tractor Supply here is $23/gallon. Other regions have said around 20.

2 Tylenol tablets cost $15 at the hospital so it never occurred to check for VG and PG there.

Thanks. I'll check there as well. I couldn't find it last time. I did look where they had the animal medicines.

 

[PaulBHC]

It was with the horse stuff. Labelled for use with cows.

I bought this stuff
