What's the brand? The glycerine I use (Humco) doesn't say on the bottle that it's vegetable glycerine, but it is. Look on the manufacturer's website or shoot them an e-mail. Chances are that it's VG, but you should probably be certain before inhaling it.

My bottle of Humco says VG right on the label. Pictured it in my last post.

I have used this in a pinch. I bought some juice with out paying close enough attention.... DUMBASS me....
It had no VG in it... I used this to thicken it up with no problems... Cost about $4 from walmart...

Humco brand is safe. It doesn't say it on my bottle, but it is, indeed, vegetable glycerine... confirmed by the manufacturer.

You'll probably get mixed opinions on the Humco.
But I personally love the stuff.
I'm vaping it right now and have been for well over a year. Probably closer to two years actually.
I've tried numerous brands of VG and Humco is good stuff imo.
One of my favorite VG I have tried was from the local Organic food store.
Frontier. It had a "smoothness" to it that I haven't found from other VGs

I would not risk it. Better buy VG from a known vape store, its not that expensive that you have to risk your with your health ;)

My Humco bottle looks way different than yours and only says "glycerine, USP 99.5% anhydrous". It's an old bottle, though. Maybe they decided to update their labels now that people are vaping and asking questions about its safety for that purpose. :)

that is quite very possible. I read that they changed the labels in the past month or so... the newer label is as pictured.

I really like it, too. I'm even using a bottle that supposedly expired 03/08, but it tastes as good as new. I make a VG/distilled water base and add it to all of my storebought juices to increase vapor production.

Just at a local food store owned by a nice couple.
It was around $11.
And I think it was 250ml.
I've gone through two bottles of it.
Just haven't bought any lately cause I have been using Bull City's and heartland Vapes and the Humco for the last few months.
I buy the Big bottles form the Vendors for my mixes for friends and family and I mostly vape the Humco for my personal mixes but do use the others for my own stuff too on occasion.
There is a method to my madness in why I do it that way but because of forum rules I can't say why my method is madness :p

So i should NOT use it?

Does it say that it is vegetable glycerin?
If it is, then I have yet to see any good reason why you would NOT use it.

Edit: If it doesn't say Vegetable glycerin and/or you can't find info on it then better to be safe and not rake the chance.

You picked a hard one to figure out!
My Google-fu has failed me :confused:
But I did see on a cooking website someone saying it is 100% vegetable based.
It is a website for cooking with herbs that are not legal.
Well....not legal in most states.
Very legal in CO :D
If you catch my meaning.
