Ok Going to walmart today and am a bit confused

[HeatherC]

I was going to just pick up some food grade PG. But I'm not exactly sure WHAT I'm looking for or WHERE I will find it... can someone please help ?

It sounds like it's generally in the pharmacy area:

(No PG there, of course, just VG)

You have to ask the pharmacist, most times they have to order it in. It is usually available the next day.

Cool (I assume you're talking about PG, vs VG available on the shelf). Buying PG gave me a chance to use PA, order some flavors, so I didn't even think of asking the pharmacy to get it for me.

 

[Switched]

Yes I was talking about PG

Thanks I think I might do this! I'm thinking it would be great to make up some 0 nic juice as I'm getting dizzy chain vaping LOL ( not that I'm not dizzy naturally... just worse now i guess LOL)

I got my PG at Tractor Supply.

 

[HeatherC]

So the local farm supply shop should have it!! COOL

Except if you buy it at the farm supply, it would be very cheap (about $5 a gallon) but would not be approved for human consumption. It is sold to prevent of ketosis in dairy cattle at calving.

Hmmm interesting!

 

[HeatherC]

I don't know for sure... but if you were feeding it to dairy cattle... I wouldn't think you would want to feed something to them that wouldn't be safe for human consumption as it would probably end up in the milk ???

For PG, a good thing is to make sure it says USP -- US pharmaceutical grade.

I've been using it for 4 months and it cost around 22 dollars per gallon give or take a dollar.

The farm supply stores in my part of the country carry PG USP (pharma grade) in gallon containers for $22 to $24.

I don't know a farmer that would want his calving livestock to be ingesting anything but USP medicine. Maybe Hoosier farmers are picker than others?

Nope. Kentuckian farmers are the same way. TS has the same PG here

Double post....

 

[HeatherC]

then that would make it safe for human consumption? right?

 

[DVap]

If a jug of propylene glycol is labeled "USP", it meets the requirements of the Propylene Glycol monograph in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).

There is no "cattle-grade" in the USP. If it's listed as USP, it's pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol, period.

Ohh good I was SOO afraid of drinking NON-food grade milk

Thanks for all your advice!! When to the tractor supply store and got some PG... liquor store for some vodka and grocery store for the flavorings ( never made it to walmart tho LOL) And here's what happened. First I tried an 80/20 mixture of PG to vanilla flavoring...without much flavor...SOO tried it 50/50 THAT was just bad! Also did not get much vapor from either. Then tried a mixture of 70% PG to 20% flavor then we added 10% vodka... the throat hit was the only thing that improved that time. Still almost no vapor tho. Then I made a mint flavored one that has EXACTLY this ratio of item in it... 3 ml PG 1.8 ml mint flavor and .3 ml vodka and OH BOY is it good. Still not much vapor tho. If I were to add like 20% VG to it as well would that improve that? Thanks in advance for any answers!
