This was originally addressed to the sticky on PG/VG purity, figured I'd post it here:
I've been reading up on DIY and ordering/dabbling, I have read through your sticky on PG/VG purity and just had a few questions
Here's a pic:
This doesn't seem to satisfy the criteria you mentioned, e.g., it doesn't say "glycerin, USP" on the front, but it does say it on the back. So what does that mean? Is this legit?
You also said there is no monograph for vegetable glycerin, USP, so does that mean by adding "vegetable" they can put whatever they want in the bottle if it doesn't say "Glycerin USP" and instead says "Vegetable glycerin USP" instead? I'm confused!
I also got some PG from myfreedomesmokes, and it came in a plastic container that says:
Propylene Glycol 99.99% pure
Repackaged from USP/Kosher source
Likewise, is this also legit (assuming I trust the vendor I guess?). Or does repackaging immediately invalidate the "USP?"
Lastly, where do you like to get your VG/PG? The only reason I got these bottles was because I'm still dabbling and didn't want to buy gallons yet lol
thank you so much!
