New Brand of VG

[Cullin Kin]

Hellurr!

So I was cruising the aisles at the local natural grocers going to pick up my usual VG... The 'Now' brand. It's really great stuff and for the price without having to wait for shipping, it's a pretty great buy. However, I noticed they stocked a new brand of VG I haven't seen there before... It's the one on the left:

Aura Cacia brand, supposedly 100% VG and organic, USDA certified. It's over double the price, but I'm interested if anyone has used this brand before. So, if anyone has used it, how did you like it? Is it worth over double the price of the Now brand?

Just interested in trying a new brand I guess. Let me know! Thanks.

vape Happy,

I do not see "USP" on labels. If it is really so it is not suited for vaping. All these "brands" are nothing more than marketing thing for skin care.

He's right, if it is not pharmaceutical grade I would not vape it.

Thanks. Yeah, I know... Now brand states USP on the back... I haven't checked the Aura Cacia.

The pictures on the labels hints at a palm based source for the Now, and maybe soy for the Aura? Personal choice I guess but I'd rather have Humco from Wally World, or a quart from Essentials.

Edit: I just noticed the Now being 16 oz. Not a bad price at all. I need to see if there's a source near me so that I can give it a try.

I did q quick search but couldn't find if it's usp or even the purity(usp glycerin monograph dictates 99%-101%). I just found that it's non-gmo and mostly from soy and other vegetal oiles and from india... Yes, the 'Now' brand is non-gmo mostly palm and other veg. oils...

Some NOW brand VG is just food grade, and should be avoided for vaping. Some NOW brand is USP grade. I use either NOW USP or Essential Depot USP VG. They are virtually identical in taste, as far as I can tell.

The best VG I have had was Heritage Organic USP. Got mine from Whole Foods. Seemed to be sweeter, but too expensive: $5 for 4 oz in 2010. Haven't priced it recently. ED USP does me just fine, and I vape unflavored 90% of the time these days, so a good VG matters to me.

never seen the VG at my local Whole Foods, have to look again. But I buy my VG and PG from Bulkaparthcary. Good prices, but the shipping might turn you off.
