PG

[Okiki]

I know you have probably seen this alot but i just want to make sure.
The PG from say tractor supply company that is used for ketosis is safe right?

Tractor Supply Company - Dionne Keotosis Treatment Gallon Cattle Medicine

Yep. That's USP grade.

I don't know about that, but you can get pure PG from the pharmacy without a prescription and it isn't expensive. I went to the one at my local Safeway and although they didn't have it in stock it arrived the next morning. Pharmacies are good at getting hold of chemicals quickly

 

[Vape]

Really? If they ask what I want it for what do I say?
I just have a feeling they will want to know, and give me a hard time if I tell them it's for cutting my nicotine liquid for my e-cig. But if I can get it from a pharmacy I'm all over that!

It's in the cow section. They won't ask what it's for if you just go grab the bottle yourself....but if they do ask, just say it's for Ketosis! LOL

It's what I use...with no problems.

What is PG?....PomPom Girl?.

 

[_TJ_]

Yep. That's USP grade.

It says feed grade.
I'm confused.
Does it have to be USP? Or is feed grade the same thing? Is there a big difference? Am I asking too many questions? Who wrote the Book of Love?

I just found some at CVS in the face wash and moisturizer aisle!

Feed grade is okay as long as it says USP on it.

And I have no idea who wrote the book of love

Wasn't that the Monotones (and wasn't that a lousy name for a group)?

If you still want the cost savings of a big bottle (or even a smaller one... good prices) and not worry about the quality of the PG, buy from the link in my DIY blog. I found them when I realized that Tractor Supply didn't take orders on-line, and the nearest one to me was out 'in the sticks'.

Hell, here it is for convenience:

$6.49 for a 16 oz bottle
$22.99 for a gallon

Generic - Propylene Glycol #338-230-Z

I'm still slightly confused. What is needed to make the "base" liquid, that would vape? Not counting the additives, such as nicotine, flavorings, etc.

At this moment, I'm assuming that the "base" liquid may be a percentage of PG, and a percentage of glycerin, and I could vape plain steam.

Yes, the base of almost all liquid for ecigs is PG, or propylene glycol. Some liquids have a mixture of PG and glycerine, TW for one, and some are solely glycerine based, for those who may be allergic to PG.

Thanks, that answered my question. I also checked out your link to the screwdriver. As a 40+ year veteran of repairing & maintaining heavy machinery, that is the best looking thing I've seen yet. I plan on looking into it further.

Thanks yvilla - So is it safe to say that for cutting liquid, you could use either PG or Glycerin? Is one better than the other? I just bought the Humco Glycerin and am wondering if I should have bought PG.

Either is safe. But the Humco glycerine is a lot thicker than PG. So if you wanted to cut your juice say 50%, it might be better to use PG, or sme distilled water if you use the glycerine and it comes out too thick.
