I also use the NOW VG. It's clean and pure and welp, if you spill it on your hands, it's great as a hand lotion... Also good for lubricating O rings and cartos for tanks.
Can't wait to get my VZ flavors!
Nite nite~
@Kat, did you order some Honey Flue? It's the VZ flavor that works best for me, with the most interesting taste and the least throat scratchies after heavy chain-vaping. It's really lovely.
What's different about the NOW VG that makes it a better hand lotion than, say, the Humco stuff? In what way? Any Glycerin that's USP 99.5% or 99.7% doesn't have a lot of room for extra stuff in there that might affect the texture, does it? But there's apparently a 96% Glycerin that also graded USP.
University of Idaho lists the following:
Types of Refined Glycerin
• 99.5% Technical Grade
• 96% USP (Vegetable-based)
• 99.5% USP (Tallow-based)
• 99.5% USP (Vegetable-based)
• 99.5% USP/FCC - Kosher
• 99.7% USP/FCC - Kosher
FDA and USP as of 2009 have required that any USP Glycerin also be shown to contain no more than 0.1% Ethylene and Diethylene Glycol.
