Peg?

[McVapor]

I found PEV on the ECF abb. thread. You think that I would have discovered PEG a long time ago but I guess not :\

PG - Propylene Glycol
VG - Vegetable Glycerin(Glycerine = glycerin = vegetable glycerin(e) = glycerol)
PEG - Polylethylene Glycol

Oh btw, 60/40 PV/VG is just awesome!

bump. I really want to know! does it taste good? Better vapor? for those who are allergic to VG? There has to be some advantage to it. And why don't I see it as an option on vendor's sites?

Google PEG in the medical community. Just an idea...

 

[McVapor]

You knew the answer too!

I don't think I want to vape 'n sh** all day
Apparently it's a laxative! who's bright idea was it to involve it in e-liquids?

Glycerin is also a laxative, it depends on the quantities you intake. I recall Kent C saying the PEG has higher TH than PG. I haven't used it myself, and don't know if Kent said anything about vapor production. In an old thread it was said PEG has a noticeable taste to it like Triacetin does, unlike VG or PG.

PEG is available in a wide variety of molecular weights (how many ethylene glycol molecules "hook up" in the POLY part of Poly Ethylene Glycol).

PEG 400 has a molecular weight of 400, is the "weight" of vapable PEG, and is ingested through the lungs.

PEG 3000 or so is the PEG used as a laxative. It has a molecular "weight" of 3000 or so (much heavier) and is swallowed. It is not a drug causing a laxative action, it is a bulk laxative (provides matter that the digestive system cannot absorb and must move through the system).

Vaping PEG 400 won't cause any laxative action because it isn't present in the bowel and doesn't act through the blood. PEG laxatives are VERY effective. Ask any colonoscopy patient just how effective

Cheese might be a better laxative for me XD

Other than the TH I may be happy with PG. Stick to something I know
