ugh, i'm so confused now... reading up on PG and according to most dermatology sites, it's actually used not only in most acne mediation due to it's being nontoxic on the skin but although helps moisturizes the skin. they also said that it's one of the safest ingredients to use in cosmetics (not that i use it)...

so maybe it's the just the artificial flavors that are the main cause??

also used in my homemade soap...lol

lol, i thought of that too! i'm trying my "deductive problem solving" skills. :)


PG is used in lots of products, but you still could be sensitive to inhaling it. The easiest way to find out, is try to cut all PG completely out and see if things clear up. I can't vape any PG at all, but I can wear make-up and use skin creams. :)

I started out vaping vg.......then noticed the film it made on the inside glass of my car......reduced it to 30% in a blend:) You can also get Wilton's vg used for baking/icing @ Wal mart and Hobby Lobby:)

I wish I could vape PG sometimes, but it causes me to cough so bad and makes my face get these big red blotches...so it's just not worth it to me. It sure does limit where and what I can buy tho. :(

Also some vendors use artificial coloring, don't know why but that is really not necessary IMHO. I would also look to sucralose in the flavors, some peeps are sensitive to it. PG never bothered me the first year. I think I built up an intolerance to it since I'm an admitted chain vaper. Now if I get too much I start to itch, almost like getting little hives.

Thanks Rimp, didn't know that, in the sugar isle I presume? I also see they are getting in some flavorings other than McCormicks that could be used for DIY in a pinch. HAHA a whole line of Wal mart ejuice, struck me funny for a moment.

Edit: Just wanted to mention that while crusing our huge local Asian Market a week ago I noticed a whole shelf full of very unusual flavorings, water based/pg, some alky and vg. Could also be used in an emergency.

Just ordered one of those spendy punches from vip. I'm sick of the guesswork with the saddle valve and the wasted cartos and juice.

yeah i need one as well i wonder how much they would hit me for shipping here .... even if they will ship here ... maybe if i take care of santa's special needs he'll get me one for christmas lol

Mine was the black chrome and the black was comming off so I blasted it and painted it.

yeah if you saw some of the pics with the new tank on it you could see some of the scratches in mine ..... there was no way it should have gotten scratched like it did ... that black chrome paint cant stand up to much .... or not thick enough or something
was so disapointed when it got scratched :(
But yours looks lovely great Job

Have any of you tried the HH.357 atty? I've been eyeballing that but it's expensive at 21 bucks but I'm trying to buy USA made stuff whenever possible. All my attys but one have passed on and I need at least one good one around for the occasional dripping.

I haven't tried the 357 but I did pick up a lr aero and it really rocks. I used it on my reo grand and its the best atty I've ever used. Been rotating it with cartos and its still vaping like new after about 5 weeks of vaping.

Now there is an item we could try a goup buy on, maybe get them to reduce that price tag. Hubby keeps telling me not to buy it cause he is going to make me one out of wood, if he gets around to it. I don't mind the saddle valve, it works ok for now.
