Glycerin in Canada

[dk2]

Rob your point is very valid, people do not understand how dangerous nicotine is, all it takes is one dumbass to kill themselves or a child with nicotine poisoning and all of a sudden no one will be able to get liquid nicotine into the country. I do not support nicotine being sold in any higher strengths than 48mg even to the DIYers as the risk to the vaping community is way too high.

Picked up a bottle from Shoppers today.

FYI, some shoppers have it on the shelve, some do not.

In the case of PG, I have visited 2 Shoppers and both said they cannot sell. (One plainly denied to sell, the other nicely told me I can get them easily from chemical companies)

Alright, the search for PG continues...

I guess different Shoppers have different policies for some strange reason. I asked the pharmacist at Shoppers if she would order me a bottle and it came in the next day. However, this was the second Shoppers that I went to in my city. The first one said no.

Also wondering if anyone knows what the the warning label that has a circle with a T and a dot below the T means? The bottle says may irritate eyes and mucous membranes, avoid inhalation?

If my memory serves me correct, The circle T just means it's technical/Lab grade.

If it only takes one drop then I should be dead 50 times over right now.. anyways,

Glycerol is also produced by various routes from propylene. The epichlorohydrin process is the most important; it involves the chlorination of propylene to give allyl chloride, which is oxidized with hypochlorite to dichlorohydrins, which reacts with a strong base to give epichlorohydrin. Epichlorohydrin is then hydrolyzed to give glycerol.[3]

Because of the emphasis on biodiesel, where glycerol is a waste product, the market for glycerol is depressed, and the old epichlorohydrin process for glycerol synthesis is no longer economical on a large scale. Glycerol can be removed from the process by using a special enzyme that breaks down phytol and starches. This enzyme is biologically produced using a genetically engineered bacterium. Because there is no glycerin produced as a by-product, the biodiesel purity is greatly improved and costs can be reduced.[4]

Only one producer for synthetic glycerol is left, because high-quality glycerol is needed in highly sensitive pharmaceutical, technical and personal care applications. Raw materials used to make glycerol include animal fats, such as beef tallow, and vegetable oils, such as coconut and soybean.

Read that carefully and you'll realize why some people prefer a vegetarian VG than any old bottle walmart bottle of VG. Anything can be labeled "USP" as long as its produced for that standard but it doesn't imply that it wont taste like soap when you're vaping (*cough* humco *cough*)

It takes a strong man to inhale something labeled for cows... regardless of the ingredients. Perhaps one day I can overcome this irrational fear.

Thanks anyhow, but what does TSC stand for?

Humco glycerin is VG -- a pharmacist confirmed it with them, it's in a sticky in the DIY area. I'm pretty active in DIY, and all of my VG is Humco.

FYI as a reason for purchasing Propylene Glycol (PG), an easy answer is for your Water Cooling (or Liquid Cooling) for your PC.

I know this because I used it for my PC at some point LOL
