Could anyone please direct me to a company that uses only coconut derived VG in their e juice.

Honestly, I'm not sure of any but figured I'd give you some info a chemist gave me years ago. When plant or animal matter is broken down to glycerin, they are indistinguishable. Glycerin is glycerin at that point, and that unless someone was just Vegan, there was no difference.

So going by that, there would be no difference in what plant it comes from as glycerin is considered a pure substance. So if you do find a company stating they use only coconut, I'd suggest looking for proof, as there is no way to test.

Different glycerin has different tastes and purity. Sweetness is often noticeable in taste and vape. Remember we have only been vaping this stuff for 6 or so years, so the old its all the same isn't quite accurate. I use this VG in Australia its from non-gmo canola oil and its the 'cleanest and sweetest' I have tried.
Glycerine PF - Vegetable

The OP may have to go down the DIY track to guarantee what VG it may be. However, I have seen a few palm free VG claims.

Thanks Guys, so VG has absolutely no oil in it?
I'm more concerned about the oil being used to make Glycerin. Let's take soy oil for example. The process to which they use to make soy oil completely changes its structure and becomes some very awful stuff health wise. I would like to avoid VG from stuff like that if possible

Use USP or your countries equivalent Vg & Pg.
It is true that low & very low grade Vg (something that no one would use for anything vape related) has trace amounts of fats that pass through the refinancing process.

Guess what coconut based Vg starts the refining process as,,, coconut oil.

But coconut oil is very different then your common seed oils such as Canola, palm, sunflower and soy. The way those seeds are refined is detrimental to our health. Coconut , avacado, olive is not. See the difference? In a way the last three are a seed I guess but not from a plant but from a tree and do not require the same process as the small plant seeds.

Point being, after refinement into a USP product the base stock is completely irrelevant and no "oils" remain.
USP is USP, no matter base stock used all must pass exacting standards and are equal as finished product.

If for some reason you use a non USP or equivalent Vg then yes base stock may make a difference.

But, you should not vape non USP Vg or Pg, simple as that.

In the EU/UK, Rapeseed is often the source of our VG.
IMO: Use what make you comfortable.
Palm derived is sometimes stigmatized because of the clear cutting of natural habitats for Palm farms.
I have never been able to distinguish the source based on the final product.

Best of luck

Please post data to reinforce your assertions. Otherwise it comes across as marketing hype and FUD.

Absolutely brands have varying degrees of sweetness and/or "taste". I was just stating that VG (USP) is VG as far as safety and use. I've noticed most of the "taste" difference really depends on how it's bottled and probably the equipment used.

Technically it should not matter which plant (or animal for that matter) is used to create the end product. Then again USP is 99.9% so who knows what the .1% is, lol. I guess if I were really worried and looking for the best of the best. I'd look for VG that is USP and Kosher.
