No PG Liquid.

[MustangDriver36]

I'm curious as I just ordered some of the Redwood NPG new liquid from J.C.I was told that reduced PG was cut with VG or Vegetable Glycerin.If I'm not correct in thinking this please excuse me.But what is VG and if that is not what the no PG liquid is from please advise.I'm just curious what it is I will be vaping?Any help would be much appreciated.

vg= Vegetable glycerin

There are three basic ingredients for juice: PG, VG and PEG. (Propyleneglycol, Vegetable Glycerine, Polyethyleneglycol)

PG is the most common one, well tested for human inhalation as well. Some people develop an intolerance for it, though.

VG is much thicker, and therefore in many juices because it makes the juice thicker. Some people develop an intolerance for VG. It's not so well tested for human inhalation, but a very very common additive in food and medicine.

Some people, BTW, are fine vaping either PG or VG, but can't tolerate a mix of the two.

PEG is more complicated, because there is not just one sort of it around. It has not been so well tested, either, and some people are slightly suspicious of it. (Do a forum search, I am sure this has been discussed here as well.) It is of course a good thing for those who tolerate neither PG nor VG, but otherwise, I personally would not get it. Still, it can hardly be worse than smoking analogs.

Thanks for the help.I found a place and read up a little on VG and that is what I was really curious about.I have read up on some studies on PG and was kinda understanding what it is.Just thought for some funny reason VG was some how made from Vegetables,lol.

It is. Vegetable Glycerol, that is. It can be made form animal fat, and from petrol products, too, hence the "vegetable" part.

Good food grade vg is not made of tires or animal fat. Buy kosher if purchasing pure vg. If getting premixed I would buy from a good manufacturer I trust.

Yes, of course, the Glycerol can be made from other stuff. The VG is made from vegetable fats.

I would not buy food grade VG. I'd go for USP - after all, we do inhale that stuff.
