PEG E-liquid?

[ericdjobs]

I just purchased a 50ml bottle of Dekang DK-TAB.. I've had this stuff before and I love it.

The bottle i got today... it's a blank white bottle and it says "dktab, 24mg, with PEG"

Now... I believe PEG is Polyethylene Glycol.. as opposed to the normal PG.. whic his propolyene glycol..


My question is this.. has anyone heard of using PEG or has used it? I'm a little sketchy about this bottle. Thanks.

PEG is commonly used in pharmaceutical products like cough syrups and lozenges so it is likely you have had it before. It has a slightly sweet taste on it's own, should be perfectly safe and is FDA approved. I forget off hand the benefits it has for vaping but there is a thread on it in the ECF Library.

It seems like Miralax is just PEG 3350.

This is kind of funny to me.. because I've been vaping this PEG juice since I quit smoking.. and here's the real kicker;

I've been having to take Miralax pretty much every other day because a medication I'm on causes massive constipation. Since I started vaping, I have not had to use the miralax one time. I attributed this to qutting smoking for some reason. When I switched back to a PG/VG mix, I had to start using the Miralax again... and now that I got my bottle of DK-TAB, I no longer need Miralax, heh!

The way PEG works as a laxative; the body can not use it, can't metabolize it, etc.. and it's very hydroscopic. So, as it moves through your system, it takes water with it.. eventually it makes its way to the large intestine with all that water and that's how it does the job... apparently the small amount of PEG400 that is absorbed from my vaping...is doing the same thing. I don't know if this is a good sign or a bad one.. hah.

Another thing to note; this PEG400 stuff has massive vapor production. I always thought this DK-TAB mix was 100% PG, but upon trying a real 100% PG e-liquid I was shocked that the vapor production was about 1/4th of the dk-tab.. I just thought there was some kind of additive to make it vape more, but it looks like it was just the PEG400 all along.
