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.:confused:

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.

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.

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
