Propylene Glycol in E-Cigs

[wv2win]

Some of you probably already know this, but I asked my pharmacist about Propylene Glycol. She said it is the ingredient in medical inhalers, such as for asthma suffers, that turns the medicine into a vapor. She said it is widely used and safe. This made me feel a little better.

ohh..that's great to know! especially asthma inhalers..
I definitly didn't see this about PG on recent threads..

I am headed over to my parent's house for Sunday dinner. I'll check my little brother's asthma inhaler box to confirm...

Good to know, I bought a Litr of the stuff as vg does not agree with me.

I bought it on Ebay but the company is in Belfast - Northern Ireland so afraid not much use to anyone in the US.

Remember, though, kids, this stuff is getting heated up to a couple hundred degrees before we inhale it. Not sure many tests have been done to determine what that does to you.

Not trying to be an ..., just saying...

after months of vapping I will say that there is definitely a residue that you feel if you vap too much...hard to explain...plasticky? waxy? oily? but lots better than the old burning tobacco residue!

Bickford's sells PG - look under Miscellaneous. $17.95 for 32 oz.

Here's a post I made on Right To Vape in a thread where concerns about possible toxicity from heating of PG were being raised:

Re the concern about PG decomposition: This study which ruled out toxic effects of fog-making fluids, one PG based and one Glycerin based, specifically looked for evidence of decomposition resulting in toxicity, but found none, at temperatures of 150 and 250 degrees centigrade.

That sounds really good given the concerns elsewhere expressed about acrolein from VG/Glycerin decompostion too.

So yes, while both PG and VG could potentially break down into more toxic compounds with very high temperatures as we have seen in other reports and postings, it appears that at the temperatures we are using, both PG and VG stay intact and give off vapors composed of simply PG and VG. This is further evidence, in addition to Dr. Laugesen's reports, as to safety when PG is vaporized in ecigs.
