Is this VG ok for DIY?

[Hatecraft]

Getting ready to try some diy. Got some flavorings from Voidmist and some Nic Base from Good Prophets. I get the jist of DIY from lots of reading on ECF. I know the VG should say USP. My only question is if "medical Grade" is ok or do I need food grade. Here's what I'm thinking of getting:

Glycerin Vegetable KOSHER USP PURE - 1 Quart - 32 oz | eBay

Thanks in advance for all the help.

I would buy medical grade before food grade (less regulation) but then again they say that all VG is made buy same company & just re branded .... I use Humco from walmart (pharmacy area) which is about $3 for 177mls...

Thanks Kelley. I read somewhere on the forums that the Humco was synthetic (gave some headaches) and not vegetable. That bit of info sent me searching the net just in case. But the bottom line is "medical grade is ok to vape, right?

Thanks r77r7r. Guess I need to make a trip to Walmart.

Humco is USP, I have used it for a while with no probs with it. It's much cheaper than the one in the link, especially after shipping @ $10. I have read a post here that said it was tested by an outside lab and was daid to be veggie sourced. Just my 0.02 hope it helps

It helps phatglass. Thanks. For some reason I thought the ebay stuff had free shipping. But to get the free shipping, I'd have to buy a gallon. But sense the consensus seems to be that the Humco stuff is ok, that's what I'll get.

I tried some fancy all hippie grade VG from the health food store, all natural, cost me $10 for 8oz and I like the Humco better and it's cheaper, damn hippies.....I guess it's good for dreadlocks lol
