Great Vendor for Unflavored PG & VG

[Locutus666]

I ran across "www.essentialwholesale.com" in my quest to find USP grade PG & VG. I just ordered 1/2 gal. of each. The PG was $14.55 and the VG was $7.65. One gallon prices were $22.10 and $11.00 respectively. This is about the cheapest I've seen, and half of what most vendors sell for. The UPS ground shipping ran me about $16.50.

...and THEY TAKE PAYPAL!!

Great find, great prices!

I gather you vape allot because it will probably expire before you use it all. Did you really get a bargain?

PG & VG.
I just ordered 1/2 gal. of each.
The PG was $14.55 and the VG was $7.65.
The UPS ground shipping ran me about $16.50.

1/2 gal. is 1,892ml.
If you used 3ml per day, it would last 630 days or nearly 21 months.

VG = $7.65 + $16.50/2 = $15.90
$15.90/1892ml = $0.0084 per ml
About $0.99 for 4 oz. (my 4-oz bottle of NOW glycerin cost about $5.50)

PG = $14.55 + $16.50/2 = $22.80
$22.80/1892ml = $0.012 per ml
About $3.01 for 250ml (8.46 oz.).

Their shipping costs are rather high, $13.85 to ship 1 16oz bottle! It didn't give me any other options, and as I'm new to this I'd rather buy a small quantity. Yikes, I'd rather buy local.

I'm in Cali and the only options are all UPS. The lowest cost to ship was $9.57 for the $2.70 - 16 oz bottle for a total (without coupon code) of $12.27. Or $0.77 per oz.
I can get it from CVS for $0.97 per oz. (6 oz) same day.

If not for the shipping costs, it would be a great deal.

Walmart has a 6oz bottle of USP VG for ~$2.50-3 (I forgot exactly what I paid)
$3.00/177ml = $0.017 per ml (less than 2 cents per ml)

I was going to buy in quantity but then realized it's cramped enough in my apartment so keeping just 2 or 3 smaller bottles around made more sense for me. YMMV.

 

[sanfordf]

There are almost 30 ml in 1 oz. I think you (brianwhynot) meant 6 oz.

I wandered around Wally world in the pharmacy area where I thought I saw VG before and I couldn't find it again. But thanks for the tip. It just might be that they were out that day. I'll check again.

 

[brianwhynot]

Thanks sanfordf. I fixed the math now. Glycerin is in the pharmacy area, either in first aid or near the suppositories. I have a hard time finding it every time I go.

So, how many mls are in a 1/2 gallon? If XtremeVaping sells 500ml for $17 plus shipping is it that much more expensive? I would rather buy it all in one place if it's just a matter of a few dollars, but if not it may be worth my effort to order separately.

3628ml/US gal or1814ml/0.5 gal

There is 4540ml to a Canadian gallon or 4.54 litres.

Wow, thanks Switched. So that is quite a bit cheaper! Now I have to decide if buying from one of my favorite vendors is worth the extra $$.

How in the heck did the post I made get here? Burned it.

I went today and had to ask a clerk. I picked up 2 bottles at $2.98 each. It was near the first aid stuff in the pharmacy area.

Wow, I didn't expect my post to be controversial. Yes, it will last me a long time, but that was the idea. I don't see an expiration date on it and will be keeping in a cool dark place. If it starts tasting a little off, I'll give it to my friend to use in his fog machine.

The shipping was $16.95 UPS Ground for a FULL GALLON, coming from Washington State to Texas.

I will use this to cut 100mg/ml juice from Levy at Xtreme Vaping. He has been great to deal with and ships very quickly.

Essential Wholesale's line of business is products for DIY soaps, cosmetics and fragrances. They sent me some samplers of their skin creme and shampoo.

Going to try making a coffee infusion tonight with some of the PG.

I've had a chance now to use the Essential Wholesale PG.
The first thing I used it on was with a coffee infusion. I have also made a Tutti-Fruiti and Bourbon & Coke juices with it.

It seemed I always had sort of a lemony aftertaste with the Chinese juices. Creating my own juices with this PG has eliminated this.

The Essential Wholesale PG seems to be very good in quality. I've tasted the straight PG and there is no strange aftertaste. I also vaped it with the same result.

The coffee infusion made with this is sooooo freakin' good. The process and recipe are in the DIY section.
