VG can be gotten in the pharmacy section of Walmart or almost any drug store in the first aid section. Also Wilton sells it as a cake decorating item that you can pick up at some JoAnne Fabrics stores or in the cake decorating aisle at Walmart. We picked up a gallon of PG at Tractor Supply Store for $21. It's used to treat Keratosis. Just make sure it says USP on it.

It's Humco Glycerin. At Walmart, it's on the shelf above the isopropyl alcohol bottles in the pharmacy section. $3 for a six-ounce bottle. It's vegetable glycerine (VG), and all bottles have the USP to the right of the word Glycerin. Yes, it's high quality and will work fine.

Propylene Glycol is not in stock at all TSC stores, so it's best to call your local store to see if they have it in stock. If they don't, they should be able to tell you other stores in your area who have it in stock. A gallon sells for $19.99 plus tax.

Walgreens pharmacy can order top PG. Just say your getting your kid a Vapor Gun for Christmas. Products: Zero Toys Online Store

Worked for me.

ill just tell them i need PG if i dont need a script then im allowed to have what i want im a customer they dont need to know what i need it for lol
 
I have my Pharmacy at a Smiths ordering me some pg. Is it pretty standard? or should I be looking for something specific (like usp or a percentage) they did not even ask what I wanted it for.

Also wondering about the Wilton Glycerine I got at a cake decorating supply store, it does not say usp or have a percentage or anything on it, it says Ingredients : Glycerin . Is it ok or should I stick with the other brands?

Whole Foods sells Heritage brand and sometimes Now brand VG. Both are, at least to me, much much better than drug store glycerin, which tastes like plastic to me. Now is my current VG brand, and I love it. It is more expensive, but a few dollars more for weeks and weeks of DIYs is not an issue to me.

Exactamundo, why vape crap when just a few dollars more provides bliss.
