Hey All,
I am making my first attempts in DIY. I ordered nic and a good supply of flavours. I have 500 ml of vg. I was going to order some pg, but with the price of canadian shipping, I thought I might have better luck sourcing it locally. From reading on the diy forum, I may have made a mistake. Anyone have good luck sourcing pg locally?

Hey here is my experience from Toronto and from small town in Muskoka. In Toronto Pharmacist was wowed by e cig, gave me 100$ out of the till and told me to order him one for his uncle and a disposable for his wife. Then anytime I needed PG or VG he would give me it for free or 25 Cents for one of those "methadone" bottles full, umm they are like those brown bottles that hold 100ml of liquid so anyways that was there. In Muskoka I asked at the IDA and was shown a litre bottle for 6 or 7 bucks, I had no cash on me and was more interested at the time, but I always ask to buy 4 3ml syringes with 20gauge needles, so he finally asked me what I used it for and I told him the e cig thing, the other lady pharmacist was working when I came back to buy the PG and when I told her what I was using it for she said I cannot ethically sell you this when it says to avoid inhalation on the bottle. So then I went back after awhile asked for it again and she asked what it was for I said that I needed it for my humidor(cigars) as I found out from my bro that he was paying large money for humectant stuff, and I read the label and so he now makes his own humectant much cheaper 70% PG 30% water. So as she was selling it to me she said we have had this bottle for awhile let me check the date, and it was expired. I said I still wanted it as it wouldnt hurt me using it for a cigar humider but she refused, so I went to the reg aisle and bought some glycerin.

I have had the pleasure and displeasure of talking to many pharmacists about it, some who say why would you inhale that, that is antifreeze and I felt like saying YOU ARE A PHARMACIST what do you think is in your asthma inhalers? Then others who were super cool. So if they ask what for say the cigar humidor thing.

I hope this helps.

Max.

P.S. I bought some halo liquid with a buddy, like we were splitting it, so I asked for a 10ml syringe since that is how much he paid for. As I was at the checkout and she was opening the little white bag he had stapled shut and wrote 50cents on, I said I am happy they had 10ml so we can just do it all in one shot. He gave me this look and I realized after how bad it sounded.

lol.

It appears to be available at pharmacys under special request and decent excuse, IE-("I wanna try making soap at home and I was wondering if you had any PG available for sale?" )

I go to my local pharmarcy all the time and ask for some, they never ask any questions. Looking forward for someone to ask me that question so that I can answer that I'm going to smoke it and see the look on their face :)

Just an update, I was able to order 2 - 500 ML bottles of PG today from London drugs, about $10 a bottle after tax. Should be here tomorrow. They also have VG on sale at $5.99 / 250 ml

Talked to shoppers and they said they could order it but their supplier was out of stock and I should try back next week. It was about $11 or so.

edit: Just realized there is already a thread down the page talking about this. Oops
