Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

Only since December since that is when I bought this 7.1cu freezer. Had to have a place to store my nic and my fridge freezer was running out of room.
I did take my unopened gallon of pg out a few days ago. Brought it to room temp and then opened it to give it the sniff test. Kinda had me concerned since some were reporting the fingernail polish remover smell to theirs. Mine had no smell at all so I resealed and put it back in there.
I've not used any of the vg I have stored in there but I don't expect any kind of problem.

You know if you look up PG you'll see some of the things that can be used to make it. I think that might be the problem with some PG.

In fact after reading the alergic reactions I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should start mixing my stuff 70%VG 30%PG. The alergic reactions to PG include dry skin some inflammation in the facial area and small red dots on the skin all over the body. Which I have. People with low Vitamin D or people who do not get sunlight are more prone to have it which I also have I have to take 50,000 IU of Vit D 2-3 times weekly because of my low Vit D levels caused by my gastric bypass surgery. Curious. Read Wikipedia. Could be that I have been vaping old PG.

Here I thought it was just old age.

@Slots you enjoying the cooler weather I know I am.

I'm still using from the gallons of PG and VG that I bought in 2012 ... getting close to 4 years old, and that just how long I've had them.
They are as good as the day I bought them, and they just sit in a cupboard in the laundry room.

I am using some vg from my second gallon but am still using up the last of my first gallon of pg and I am thinking I probably got it sometimes in early 2012. I just kept it in my vape cabinet all this time. Only the new vg/pg is in the freezer.

Thank you, Slots. We need to know from real life experienced long term DIY vapers.

That doesn't sound good Hopefully, they may just be "slammed" right now, and a little behind

I'd place my bet on you being fine. They probably took a three day weekend and are now swamped, unless there's a computer glitch.

 

[garyoa1]

Ya, I did get an invoice. But as far as essential depot... no answer from them either.
Kinda sux bein me lately.

 

[garyoa1]

Oh, and ordered a cell phone holder from amazon prime. Supposed to be delivered on the 1st. No show. Contact amazon... they cannot issue a credit on it.
I wanna go home.

It should be another Kayfun.

KFs are so yesterday, let's make it a sub tank.

Da only 'trick' is to order with free shipping and just 'bout da time ya forget ya ordered, <pooph> it's in da mailbox...

<snicker>

Didn't have to work to get the nic in there, I'd stepped on one the night before and my foot still hurt.

Doing my quarterly check in. Still got nuttin to say but Hi!

Good to see you! Been wondering how you're getting along. I have all you tourists, okay to send them back over there?

As far as I'm concerned, there's no real need to stock up on plain VG or PG as it is also used for other industries and will always be readily available. I just foresee a LOT of people starting to make home made soap.

Can't wait until someone asks how to extract it from toothpaste.

Uses for Kanthal...
Applications for Kanthal products — Kanthal

That's a lot of uses.

Esstenial Depot started last April carrying Soy and Palm "derived" vegetable glycerin. Are these vapeable? Are their length of storage time the same? What makes them better/worse than what was previously available?

Here's what WL has listed for their VG:

Vegetable Glycerin USP

Minimum 99.7% purity USP grade Kosher certified Vegetable Glycerin suitable for use as a carrier base and dilutant for Wizard Labs organic Nicotine solutions. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning concerning glycerin produced from the Jatropha plant which can contain toxins, including phorbol esters, that naturally occur in the plant. All of our vegetable-derived glycerin is 100% sourced from palm fruit, and does not contain any Jatropha plant or derivatives.

Product Name: Vegetable Glycerin USP
Chemical Formula: C3H8O3
CAS#: 56-81-5

Four years! You do actually vape, right? I'm surprised, and encouraged, that the VG lasts that long.

I have two FT orders coming (I hope), maybe I should just stay away from you for awhile.

 

[2legsshrt]

Well my eciggity order from July 3rd shipped and my other one is out for delivery at MIL's. Going to call her and make sure the A Hole doesn't throw it in the garbage after the messages we received from him I don't trust him but if she knows he won't have a chance.

Mattiem, bought my gallons of pg & vg first of last Dec too. Stored bottom of pantry in the dark corner. No problems so far........but shelf life IS 2 yrs. We need to find someone who's used them beyond the 2 yr. limit and how stored.

Also bought mine in 2012. Still as fresh as the day I got it. I store mine in the freezer.

Had a gallon of PG that I bought around 1991 (we mix PG with Ivomec for deworming dogs). It started to have a funny smell to it in 2003, so I tossed it. It was just stored in the kennel building.

So, made my first order at FT yesterday, and it shipped today. Will be interesting to see how long it takes. Since it's cheap stuff that I'm in no hurry to get, I'm betting two weeks or less.

Of course! If it were an emergency item, you'd see it sometime in December..... 2020.

Oh, the lil woman went to the states to pick up stuff at our drop box. PG from amazon was delivered today. Nope. Didn't show up. Got home. Delivered a half hour after she was there. And FWIW, pg here from amazon is $24 and $23.95 shipping. For a liter.

 

[Kenna]

My new rule (since I got a bad gallon of PG at ED) is, as soon as you get it. Open it. Give it the smell and taste test before you stick it in the freezer.

Did you talk to them yet?
