One thing at a time Bogart.

C'mon breezy... just look how proud he is. When was the last time you were this proud of something?

Sorry, to clarify....in the US, it should say USP....in the UK, BP.

I think we need Kate in here to examine this...lol

By the way cage, Bogie is the word us brits use in place of your Booger... please... please, call me Bogart, lol

Sorry...

I didn't know, and I doubt Humphrey did, rest him.
I never mention the whole "smoke a ..." thing either...

'Cuz it's just so funny!!!

 

[ZambucaLu]

Yes! That's the one Sam

So does it say BP on it?

No. Just "Technical Food Grade (Kosher)"

It also adds a whole new element of fear when you tell children about "The Bogie Man".

I grew up thinking that's why he's often depicted as green

I honestly think it has to say either USP or BP on it to be safe. Kate really knows more about this stuff than I do....maybe she'll chime in at some point. For now, I wouldn't use it though. If it is dangerous, you might do some serious damage inhaling it into your lungs.

Yep, thanks for the advice Sam, I shall take it, and hope to hear from Kate. My guess is, it's probably exactly the same stuff, but perhaps not bottled for the food industry. After all, PG is also a known irritant to some. None of this stuff was originally intended for inhalation.

Breezy is right, you really are enjoying that picture too much Cage

Sorry it took me so long to get here.

I'm not an expert so you'll have to make your own decision but

... Technical Food grade 99.8%
... Used in soaps toothpastes, personal care products, cosmetics and food.

My understanding is that there are two grades of purity, the purest is BP and the other is industrial grade. With this being food grade and 99.8% (pure?) I'd say it should be ok.

Data sheets are a cover for traders and manufacturers for any and all sorts of eventuality. Note that it says ingesting in large amounts and inhaling in large amounts. You aren't likely to inhale more than 2ml a day and lots of that will be exhaled.

Just in case you do try it and I'm wrong be on the lookout for any adverse reactions, sensitivity, etc.

It never gets old...

If you are at all concerned, buy some from Boots Chemist, 200ml, very cheap. That's what I did after buying from Ebay and being unsure about the product. It is my lungs after all.....

Ty Kate, this is pretty much as I figured it. The name is right, and the purity is high. I suspect the difference between BP and "technical food grade" is more down do a certificate the company does or doesn't hold.

Still, having said that, if someone knows a good UK supplier of official food grade VG or PG I'd love to know it, just for my own peace of mind

Hiya Bogie!

The best I could do for Glycerine was Supercook, which is food grade and available in most supermarkets there.

Got mine on a rare trip back to ol' blighty, and I've been using it with no ill effects so far.

Could be a quick fix for you? (or at least an excuse to post an answer to get your post count up)

Boots! Of course, hehe. Am I likely to find it on a shelf or will I have to ask for it specifically?
