Hi, i'm new to this forum. Can anyone suggest a non-PG ejuice thats good? I have read some stuff about PG and it's something im a bit concerned about injesting. I've seen a few e-juices online that claim to use only VG. I'm just wondering if there any good. Thanks
Need advice on a non-propylene glycol e-juice

Viking Vapor has 100 % vg juices too plus you can order double flavors and TH. I have ordered from them and the guy used to be a candy maker so he really have the flavor thing down pat. Great tasting juice and great prices too boot IMHO.
May I ask why you are concerned and what have you been reading? I'm trying to learn but to be honest, I haven't researched PG beyond a couple of articles and I would be interested in learning some more about it. What little I have read seems to be mostly positive. Scroll down to the -Allergic reaction- paragraph and then the -Possible air germicide- paragraph in this link for example. Vape on.

Yeah, I'm kind of interested in hearing your concerns too.
I haven't really heard anything bad about propylene glycol and I've been around awhile now.
I know it is a humectant, so it will dehyrdate you, but that is true of VG as well.
And I know it is somewhat of a irritant, which is why you get more throat hit from it than from VG juices.
But I haven't gotten sick once in the last 17 months since I started vaping, and I attribute some of that to the propylene glycol.

I actually just bought some juice from GP this week and so far am very happy with it. I didnt really care for pg based juice simply because of the taste and the chemical after taste. But their line of VG juice is great.
The Clouds of Vapor COV4 and American e-Liquid Sweet Tobacco are the best I've tried so far. Both 100% VG. The COV juices are thinner and lighter. I love the American, but I don't think I'll be ordering more due to the thickness.

It may just be me and my experiences with VG, but "Thinner and lighter" usually means its been cut with PG. VG is extremely thick on its own.
You are probably correct or else they aren't using 99.5% or higher VG

I like both PG and VG and both for different reasons. PG seems to give a better throat hit, VG gives more clouds of vapor. I have found that VG juice's flavor seems muted, but PG seems to hold flavor well. This might depend on the juice you are vaping, and what device/voltage you are vaping at. I have heard of many people having allergies to PG, but I haven't had any troubles with it.
A humectant shouldn't dehydrate you. A humectant draws moisture to itself and moisturizes. Should be a good thing. Glycerin is a humectant.
It actually seems to do the exact opposite. It absorbs moisture, therefore drying out anything it touches. Now, the VG shouldn't dehydrate you, but PG certainly will...
nucig liquids are good , and all vg , but dunno if they ship outside uk ,
worth asking i guess

I use juice from www.avejuice.com . Some of his juices are 100% VG and if you need to cut them, then use distilled water or PGA and that will keep you PG free.
There is so much back and forth on this PG or VG issue.. I researched pretty well as a focused approach to my decision ot begin vaping.. Being a Clinical Lab Scientist.. ( but not a chemist beyond clinical chemistry of course) ... The main concern outside of allergic reactions anyone should have are the chances of a hyperosmality condition occurring in vivo.. This can lead to serious deleterious physiological issues and pathogenesis of unwanted conditions... That being said the quantity needed to achieve this ... Based on how it is broken down in the body are so very high that to meet the xx/ kg saturation levels needed would be all but impossible via vaping normal formulations...
I do prefer VG especially since I already before vaping had used herbal glycerites in inhalation treatments ...
But I see no immediate concerns for anyone save the few who have allergic predispostions...
Very tired excuse spelling and grammar ..

Glycerin draws moisture out of the air and moisturizes the skin - that's a good thing.
