Glycerin from Walmart

[Tinman402]

Is it VG or PG? I got some of that and some flavor and want to mix some NON-Nic juice to try.. The calculators I am finding want to know PG and VG.. So which is it?

Thanks
Kris

It is USP glycerin, not PG (propylene glycol), and you can use it where the calculators call for VG. I use the Humco brand (from Wal Mart), no problems here. Make sure it has USP on the label.

I have actually talked to the reps at Humco (they are very helpful btw) anyway i can 100% confirm that the wal-mart humco that says skin protectant is VG and is USP and there for can be vaped (I did for a while) personally i have found VG to be a bit of an irratant to me and caused coughing but thats me.

Thanks guys.. It is the USP humco... I am going to use McCormicks for flavoring it says it is made of water, propylene glycol, alcohol (20%) and fruit extracts... Is this fine to use..

I actually picked some of this up at Wal-Mart, merely as an exercise to determine whether or not I could use this and make it into anything reasonably vapable if any problem ever would arise, such as running out of juice or juice being banned or whatever.

I can't give you the exact amounts or percentages of ingredients I added, as I don't recall right now. But I used some McCormick's Imitation Strawberry flavoring, a bit of vodka, and some Splenda dissolved in water, to add to the Glycerin. Turned out half-way decent. If push ever came to shove here, I could get by on this.
