If its not PG or VG than what is it?

[MissVapor]

Nuvape claims to have a non-PG juice but its not made with VG. All they say is:
Our NON-PG formula is another alcohol suspension and provides relief for PG-sensitive users.

What else would it be made with? Anyone ever tried their non-pg juice?
I tried emailing them but haven't received a response yet.

Surly they are obliged to say. Can't find it on the website.

Likely, one of: di or tri version of PG or EG or a PEG.

I'm pretty sure it's VG and they're just trying to make it sound better.

 

[Fox3]

Sounds like a vendor I would trust...</sarc>

Let us know what the response was. The FAQ section was interesting. The prices are good and there's a lot of variety for people with PG allergies.

 

[MissVapor]

Yeah, I ordered all Non-pg samplers and Im STILL waiting for a response..my order shipped today so I will keep you updated..

Why don't people respond to their customers in a timely fashion..ugggh!

No from what their chart states..its clearly NOT VG

Love to hear what you think when you try them!

it is probably peg

some of the liquid manufacturers have that option.

What is PEG? Is it safe for a person with a PG allergy? Maybe I should re-word that: Is it potentially safe for a person with a PG allergy?

(I'm posting because I tried a quick google and the few correct hits I got were associating PEG as Pg 3350)

If anyone finds out what is in their nonPG please post. I have a dear friend with a PG allergy and this is the best selection so far for variety for her. Thanks in advance!

PEG is PolyEthyleneGlycol - long chain form of ethylene glycol. Sedansa uses PEG-400, meaning the chains have an average olecular weight of 400.

It is still a glycol, but will be quite different to the body's metabolism (just as propylene glycol is different from ethylene glycol (toxic).

Those with PG allergy should tolerate PEG ok; while not an absolute certainty, should be no problem

Thanks for posting so quick!!! My gratitude, kinabaloo!

In the meanwhile I just emailed nuvape with a link to this thread asking them to register and post a response for all of us.

Well done MonkeyMonk. Yes PEG. Will be interesting to do a heat stability test on it. I wonder what avg weight PEG it is. Proly 200, 300 or 400.

Inositol is a surprise (like that stuff, a calming B vit., but wll not vape; melts only at circa 225C). Wonder why it is included?

Linalool is a scent, common in plants. A terpene alcohol. Will vape over.
Damascenone is also a scent; a 13 carbon ketone.
Ionone is also a ketone scent.

Yup, thats the same response I got..I guess I will be the first to try this stuff out..Nothing like being a guinea pig. I got several tester bottles, if I don't like any of them or have an allergic reaction like I did with PG I can foward them on to someone else on here.

If we don't hear from you again ... thanks for your testing.

 

[MissVapor]

Yeah. I know exactly..if for some reason Im not on the board and its been several days..don't use PEG ~

Don't worry - we'll make it a sticky !

 

[MonkeyMonk]

I ordered some for my friend and this stuff sounds so interesting that I'm going back to try some for myself, too. (So, 2 guinnea pigs now)

 

[MissVapor]

UPDATE: I got my PEG order in today, couldn't wait to try my 555 (its my favorite) Just as expected very yummy!

Side Effects? I really need to vape it for a week to tell for sure..But so far lots of vapor and very similar to PG taste.

My eye is already getting red (same problem I had with PG) so I will have to get back to yall on any other side effects..but Im still alive and I don't have the runs or anything (yet) lol

Other flavors I got: coffee, cream, chocolate, rum, marboro

SIDE NOTE: PART OF MY ORDER WAS MESSED UP BUT IM HOPING NUVAPE WILL FIX IT SOON
