PG or PEG? What's the difference?

[thewomenfolk]

Does anyone here know what the difference is between PG (Propylene Glycol) and PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) as far as using them for vaping is concerned? I just need to know if one has proven to be better as far as allergies go, or if there is any actual practical difference between the two as far as vaping goes?

This lack of response makes me worry that no one knows what's really in these chemicals we're vaping. Maybe the FDA has a point?

What did google have to say?

It should be PEG 400, if my memory serves correctly, so you'd want to google that. Other weights of PEG are used for other things. (One of the weights is mostly used for laxatives.)

Never used it as I'm happy with PG and some VG to bother messing with it.

The FDA does have a point. There have been no long term studies done to prove this is safe or even safer. If that is a point of worry, the FDA allows cigs to be sold everywhere and NRT's to be sold nearly everywhere. Get your fix the way that works best for you.

Hoosier, I agree with you. If the FDA has any interest at all in the health of Americans, then they do have a point. If we don't know what we're vaping then how can we know whether or not it will harm us in the long run, just like cigarettes do?
