PG

[myxomatosis]

I think this has been debated several times over in the past, but I ran across a site that made PG sound scary. I don't believe everything I read, but I would like to hear about any developments found recently related to it's inhalation.

Everything I've read up to this point suggests Propylene Glycol is about as safe as it gets when it comes to inhaling things. I ran across this article while I was googling what department PG would potentially be sold under at my local Walmart.

Any fruit falling from the tree this guy is shaking? I'm curious.

Propylene Glycol in Cake

 

[MickeyRat]

Little bit off the wall considering it's used in hospital A/C systems and inhalers. However, propylene glycol can be used as antifreeze and certainly could be used to deice planes. That said, it's propylene glycol's close cousin ethylene glycol that is used in the kind of antifreezes that kill animals and is considered toxic.

You know what else is found in all of those products mentioned, and also causes severe medical problems (including death) when inhaled?

Water.

 

[iBANKAI]

You knows who's remarks I was reading and they all sound pretty cool because it's a question followed by an answer.?

Darrigaaz.

 

[TJVapes]

I agree with the article. Walmart cakes taste bad. I like my cake the old fashion way.. baked by granny with love.

Water.

ahhh yes the very deadly and very efficient dihydrogen monoxide.

not the...wait for it....dihydrogen monoxide...

The stuff their using for the MSDS is ethylene glycol not propylene glycol, it's two different compounds their just cutting and pasting what they want. Yes propylene glycol is used as an anti-freeze, in drinking water, and if it's so bad then why is it used in almost every inhaler made today?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

The person who wrote that is obviously very ignorant and she just copied and pasted things from the INDUSTRIAL PG MSDS. USP PG is different and it's actually an excellent carrier of flavor, so I highly doubt that the PG in the cake was responsible for the lack of flavor. I bet she hasn't read the list of ingredients for her toothpaste or her shampoo lately. Too bad we can't comment on her site because I'd tear her a new one...

 

[Nomoreash]

Perhaps it was just bad cake.

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah, well you can't have your cake and vape it too......wait... they do have cake flavors.

If they find anything safer than PG, I'm game for new e-juice. Until then, PG for me.

its kind of funny I needed some more low conductance coolent for my water cooled PC so I go out to Koolance website and it's like 30 bucks for a 200ml of it I'm thinking why is this so expensive what's it made out of some super secret stuff developed by NASA? I look at the label and what the hell its propylene glycol. I'm not saying anything bad about PG I was just surprised and happy because I can buy a gallon of pg for $20. oh the many wonderful uses for PG

Thats awesome! I've always wanted a water cooled rig, but money has been tight for just too many years. Perhaps the next machine I build can be water cooled good to know I can save some money on the coolant

If you don't vape it all before you can use it.

Yeah but you realy should only vape Food grade PG.

I'm in HVAC and years ago when we first started installing GEO Thermal systems my boss insisted that we use the most enviromentaly safe coolent and after weeks of research I found Food grade PG to be the safest the Nonfood grade PG can contain a multitude of contaminants.

Yeah, food/medical grade is USP while if memory serves me right industrial is DSP, if it has an MSDS it's industrial, food/medical grade doesn't need one because it's safe to humans.

if it is in the vaporizers used for azmah patients then im sure its fine for me as well. im sure its better than all the crap i was inhalling as a smoker.
