HI, im new to this forum. And i need help. I just got into liquid mixing/making and ive read that my atomizer could handle 100% VG liquids and even only VG! OK, so today i went to the pharmacy and bought Glycerol 85%. It cost only 2 bucks with a bottle. I searched about this thing and i found out that it is called cosmetic glycerol (I have no idea what it is). And i just wondered, guys can i use it to vape it? I watched some vids about vaping only glycerin and they say it has a sweet aftertaste, so i just put a drop of my "glycerin" and it seems to be a bit sweet too. So please let me know if i can vape it.
Is This thing safe to vape?

Only if it says "USP" with something like 99.5% purity. What you are looking for is "vegetable glycerin".
You can get the above Humco brand Glycerin USP at Walmart for about $4.
Search around on the web. You can buy larger quantities for cheaper. For example, you can get USP Vegetable Glycerin at Bull City Vaper:
225 ml for $4.25
480 ml for $7.25
1000 ml for $12.50

Funny someone mentioned the Humco glycerin.. I've been using that for a while for a while. Although not the cheapest, it works well and no taste.
I use Humco since I like to buy it fresh instead of by big gallons, etc. It cost a little more this way but I don't mind. I don't store flavorings or VG for long periods of time.
Just find some USP VG .......
Unfortunately, your profile doesn't say where you are located (in or outside of US)
(WHY don't members fill out that part anymore? It's actually very useful to know what country /region people are in when advising them about purchases, whether that be liquid or hardware!!!!)

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
- Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
- Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
- Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
- DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
- Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
- Contributes to soil erosion.
- Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
- Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
- Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
- Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
- Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
- Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
Major component of most household and industrial cleaners.
To the OP, if you can figure out exactly what is in the glycerin you bought, it may or may not be okay, but in the future you're better off getting pure vegetable glycerin, USP grade if possible.
Dihydrogen Monoxide can be nasty, but don't even get me started in that insidious Sodium Chloride!
