Is this Glycerin safe to make juice with?

How in the world does one delete posts here? Do we just not? :/

We just do not. Or you can ask a mod to do it, but a 'placeholder' will still remain.

Seriously... If you've studied chemistry, you know that a molecule by any particular name isn't different from another molecule of that same name, even if it was derived from a different source.

Not everyone has studied chemistry, or remembers it if they did

I would be leary of it since it said to keep away from mucous membranes... and also the other glycerin ( nitro) is one to avoid too....

went back and actually looked at the picture.... didnt see the USP on the bottle the first time I glanced at the pix... my bad.....
if its usp its safe to vape as long as it was sealed when recieved

Seriously... If you've studied chemistry, you know that a molecule by any particular name isn't different from another molecule of that same name, even if it was derived from a different source. Each part of the molecule's name describes a characteristic of the molecule. You can actually draw out a molecule and know what it looks like, just by looking at the name. I used to do it all the time with various household products, just for fun, when I was studying chemistry in college. If something were different about it, even slight, it couldn't be called the same thing. Its prefix and/or suffix would change. Therefore, glycerol (glycerin) is glycerol is glycerol... Whether or not it came from an animal, vegetable, or synthetic source, it's still the exact same molecule and will react with your body in the same way. So as long as the lable says USP, indicating the product has met the purity standard of the United States Pharmacopeia, it's just glycerin. For example, you're not going to get any traces of animal oils if it comes from an animal source. I hope this info eases some minds. Just find the USP stamp of approval and you're good to vape.

I should add that if you're vegan or vegetarian, and you don't consume anything that's derived from animals, then you should definitely confirm that it was derived from a vegetable (most are). Other than that, though, I can't think of any reason it would matter. It's all exactly the same substance on a molecular level.
