It should be USP or Pharmaceutical Grade. I don't think there is such a think as "food grade", but that may be a term that people use synonymous with USP. Although, keep in mind, there are no laws or regulations. If a vendor doesn't make it very clear how they make their juice, I head in another direction.

In the vaping world, we .......ize and make up a lot of terms, apparently for entertainment pleasure.

I was told usp and food grade are basically interchangeable. And if you notice on the site it lists both terms together: http://www.essentialdepot.com/servlet/the-Glycerin-USP-Kosher-Vegetable/Categories and its Kosher that has to count for something right lol

wizard labs nicotine I ordered is pretty good. I also have some vapors tec I ordered from Bullcityvapor.com not sure which I like better both are pretty good. bull city shipping is more expensive but it gets there FAST. Ordered friday afternoon. It was at my house across the country monday.

You may well be right. My point was that USP is the highest and since it is going into my lungs, I don't want second best.

You are right.
USP is higher purity than food grade, however some suppliers want to underline (for those who do not know) that their USP grade can be used as food grade also. To be on safer side use only USP grade (it can be written something like "USP Food Grade, Kosher", but there should be USP written somewhere.

Thanks, this is where the confusion came in
