Pharma Grade E-Liquid, WHY?

[QuietProSF]

Been hearing more and more about Pharma Grade e-liquid... What possible difference will there be in the juice? IMO none. The flavors will be made with more than likely the exact same proccess. Same grade VG as suppliers already use, at least anyone worth a damn. And PG is already Pharma grade. This process won't make it any safer for users, just more expensive. What needs to be controlled, if anything AT ALL, in the light of those who just want to vape and not worry about it, are the devices.

Whatever damage we do by vaping is caused from silica, leeching plastics, PG/VG/Nic inhalation. Which wouldnt change with this 'new' process. at the most expect a little lest dust in your atty depending on what you use already.

What this will do is two things almost certainly. Open the table for standardization and over regulation. The very things any Avid Vaper is willing to fight tooth and nail you are now inherantly supporting. Not to mention give one or two companies the ability to corner the market, not to mention see your favorite blends and mixing companies fall away one at a time because financially they couldnt support the change. Then you see a few huge companies and are all subject to them. Most of these companies are started from the ground up with little if any funding. So before you jump in and support this supposedly noble effort, ask yourself if its at all worth it.

Stay informed, and Vape Happy

The only discussion I've ever seen regarding pharma grade was in relation to to PG/VG like you've said.

Roly does a pretty good job explaining here-

You can buy 'organic' flavoring, but to call flavoring pharma grade, I just don't think that exists.

I tend to agree with you- calling liquid pharma grade is just a lot of hype.

Agree with the both of you.....no diff. I buy by the gallon size and see no diff, nor does anyone in the DIY forums know of any diff..that Ive read.

Thanks, I just want to know how people are feeling about this. Theres been some talk about a couple vendors on right here in the forums, I dont think I can mention them, nor would I be presumtuous enough to bad mouth someone I dont know. However, This feel like the openings of WalMart taking over the mom and pops stores.

ive used both Food Grade VG and USP (Pharma) Grade VG. there is most certainly a difference.
also, not all PG is pharma grade.

however, i do support your general ideology.

Sorry, I was definitely unclear. You should awyas use pharma grade to mix... Im talking about companies that are "creating pharma liquid"... Like pharma grade concintrates is basically how they are gonna be marketed.

And yea def both pharma and food grade exist but you should use pharma grade bases.
