I have some glycerin from CK. The ingredient info only has glycerin on it and it doesn't say what type. I guess that means "regular" and not vegetable? Its suppose to be for baking but I was wondering if I can use this in my juices or if it has to be vegetable glycerin.
"Just" glycerin okay? (not vegetable)

I have a general suggestion that applies to anything you put in your ejuice. Regardless of the answers you get, it is only opinion. While much is known about what is safe to eat, very little is known and understood about the effects of inhaling different things.
So the best and safest approach is to use what is tried and true, and has stood the test of time, now over 7 years. In this case I would suggest getting vegetable glycerin, regardless of the merits of glycerin (which I have no opinion on).

You can certainly call or write to the manufacturer of the stuff you have.
That would solve the mystery as well

You mean the stuff used in cakes? That's the only type CK makes which is this stuff:

VG is relatively cheap, I'm just wondering any reason you don't want to use regular VG? I wouldn't go around the house and putting stuff in my atomizer unless I was 1000% sure it was safe. You won't get that kind of reassurance from anyone on an online forum I'd stick to what has been tested and proven.
For all we know that stuff could just be VG with a different label but you never know, considering how cheap VG is not even worth testing.

Not hard to find a store for the real stuff. Any ol Pharmacy will do, maybe the grocery store with cosmetics or first aid.
I'm new to this and haven't found VG anywhere yet so dunno just crossed my mind this might work as well when it crossed my eyes in a candy making store. Ironically they are suppose to have VG as well but it was out.
If nobody here has any experience using this I'll guess I'll just wait until I find VG. I'll try pharmacies.
That's the one yes.

The CK website info says "Certified Kosher, Vegetable base (corn or soy bean)". And again glycerin is listed as the only ingredient.
I can't find one with vegetable in the title anywhere around here. I'm getting desperate.

You could always just drip some on a dripper coil all by itself and see if it's rancid or sweet. My bet is it is just regular VG.
If it's sweet, it is just regular VG. Everything I see in the description on the website makes me think this is true.
If its says kosher and vegetable based, it should be fine. The fact that it does not say USP, well.... Check out Amazon , ships fast and great price or if you really want to be safe go the a walgreens or a market with a pharmacy and get the USP grade.
And now you know what it's like to run out of staple supplies! I order the base liquids by the gallon now, I bet you will too! lol
I would vape what you have and order what you know will be ok.

It should have "USP" on its label (pharma grade). Then it is good for vaping. "Vegetable" is mostly meaningless designation for USP glycerin.
I'm gonna make a small batch with it and try it. If its fine then I'll finish the bottle and next time be ready with a large bottle ordered online.
This is what people have been buying at Walmart Store and it has been working out fine...it does not say vegetable on the label and I have been vaping this for 2 years...$6.99

If you just need a small amount to hold you over....if you have a health food store near you, see it they carry NOW brand 100% vegetable glycerin.
Thats the first one I used then I found Humco at walmart.
Good luck

Bulk Apothecary is the cheapest place I found for 1 gallon. Essential Depot for 2 gallons. Amazon sells BA by the quart or liter and if you have Amazin Prime free shipping. All well regarded by valets here and I've used both
JMarca, Anavidfan I really like your tags (or whatever they're called) in your signatures.
