Any glycerine you use must be labeled "USP". This is the food grade and is pure. Any other grades I would stay away from. There are many vendors on here that can supply the correct products.

USP is pharma grade, can't get anything graded higher.... Its what I use.

USP is pharmaceutical grade. Food grade is not safe for inhalation.

To answer your question, Yes, it is totally OK to use the Glycerin USP from the pharmacy. Some people have had "allergic issues" with it, but not many. Be careful not to make your PG/VG ratio too high on the VG side though, I made some 50/50 with this stuff and it wouldn't even wick in a Boge!
