Safer VG or PG

[frazz]

Hello all, Ok, I have read some of the health information (on this forum and elsewhere). Technical jargon and chemical names really mean nothing to me.

So here is the question to those that read and / or understand this kind of thing.

According to all currently known information, which is less toxic (or safer) for the body when inhaled, VG or PG?

Followup question: Which supplier uses the least amount of additives in their juices?

Thanks.

PG has been studied for about 40 years and is used in everything from medical inhalers (asthma etc) to anti-freeze. Its in food, medicines, toothpastes..and cigarettes.
VG is similar but hasn't had the 40 year testing deal but Id say from an end-users pov that both are 'safer' than inhaling carbon monoxide, smoke and arsenic (and the 4 thousand other chemicals I never bothered to find out were in cigarettes)
Most ejuice makers use liquid nicotine, flavoring (food grade stuff, the kind you find in, well, food) and a carrier medium either PG or VG. Thats about it.

What about PEG? It's rarely sold from what I've seen but I read somewhere that it makes more vapor than PG.. How safe is that compared to PG? And how does the vapor of PEG compare to VG?

PG vs VG is also a bit of a personal choice. Whereas VG gives a LOT more exhaled vapor, it can dimish both taste and throat hit. Most people like a mix of the 2.

Keep in mind what you were bringing into your body when you were smoking cigarettes.

That being said, I know that wordupecig.com sells all natural, kosher liquids and they're customer service is one of the best.

Good luck.
