Okay, what is pg????

[blackandsparkly]

Right, still in the early stages of all this vaping, but thanks to this forum, I now have a 510, a usb passthrough and a 30ml bottle of e juice! I have been reading about people cutting the juice with pg or vg, but haven't a clue what these are!

So firstly, where do I get some of this stuff and what would I be searching for? And secondly, once I have it, how do I cut it with the juice?

sorry if I sound a bit thick!

Propylene Glycol its used to produce the vapor in the ecig juice. You can get it at Walgreens and other pharmacies, I got mine at Walgreens for $12.79 for 16oz bottle. They had to order it but it was there the next day. As for using it to cut juice their are tons of recipes around here look at those is the short answer, the long answer is you get some high nic unflavored PG and use flavors, your PG, and the nic mix PG to a lower nic tasty juice you like.

You can get 48mg and even 60mg unflavored PG at a few different places, then just cut and flavor. Rule of thumb is that a 50/50 mixture cuts the nicotine down 50%. If you started with 48mg and did 50/50 with your flavoring/PG mix to it then the end result would be 24mg juice.

It's propolene glycol. You can get it at WalMart or some place like Farm & Fleet. You can use vegetable glycerin if you happen to have a reaction to the PG.
Anyway, in the Modder's section there is a whole lot of information about Making Your Own which includes receipts. Have fun.

Thank you! I'm in the UK so can't go to the places you mention, and don't know what sort of stores they are! Wallmart, isn't that a huge grocery store? Just so I know what kind of shop I should be going to over here in my hunt for this stuff!

Try a farm and ranch store or pharmacy.

Thank you for that link! Not only was it extremely helpful, but hilariously funny too!

While I am here, I have had a quick look at ebay for pg and found this:


250ml PG, MPG Propylene Glycol 1,2-Propanediol 99+%


oops, sorry this was a link, but I'm not allowed to post it cos Im new!


Is this the stuff? I literally just typed propylene glycol in the search box.

It sounds so scary! don't want to poison myself!

There is a UK group. You can't post until you join the social group, but I'm sure they can help as to where to get PG and stuff.

Walgreens is a pharmacy or what you call a apothecary.
