I've been looking around for some plain VG, to cut with the juices that I got that have a little too high nicotine. I went to the pharmacy at the local wally world and the pharmacist looked at me like I was looney. I tried Wallgreens, and the lady there at least knew what I was talking about. She pointed me towards some health food stores and a local herbal remedy place. Anyone know where else to look to get some VG?

Wally's here has it in the first aid section, by the bandaids etc. It may be there and the pharmacist not know it since they don't stock the shelves. I asked for it at Walgreens and they looked at me like my phone still has a cord.
Pharmacies and Walmart VG will most likely be labeled "Glycerin" or "Glycerine"; just make sure it says USP on it also. I found some at my local CVS pharmacy in the hand/body lotion aisle.
Goodprophets.com sells some good VG and cheap, check em, so does RTSvapes, and crystalclearvaping, for some reason I dont like using the stuff at walgreens and the local stores, it doesn't seem to be of the same quality that juice vendors use, just my findings, I would buy from some of these vendors, it's cheap and its good.
It's in the same isle/rack as the witchhazel typically, in the couple of short isles in frot of the pharmacy counter.
I agree with what mwa said. I make my own juices and buy my PG and VG from BlueMist Vapor. You can get 120ml bOttles of PG and VG for $4 each. It's really cheap and they make good juices.
If you cut the juice with just VG it's going to make it alot thicker and it might not wick as well or if you use cartos it will clog them up faster. It will also dilute the flavor of the juice.
If you want to cut down the nic level without changing the flavor and consistency, I recommend buying the same juice in a low mg and mixing them. For example, if you have 24mg juice and want to drop it to 18mg, buy the same juice in 12mg and mix them 50/50. That will give you the lower mg of nIc without making the juice thicker and won't dilute the flavor either.

You need some? I got gallons! I can send you some free. You would just have to pay shipping... From Alaska.
I got a 6 oz bottle at Walmart in the Skin Care section, near the pharmacy. It is Glycerin skin protectant (usp), brand name HUMCO. The bottle says, "Pure Natural Skin Softener", and it is that too, but it has no flavor, fragrance, color, nothing at all except pure usp glycerin. I think it was about $3.29 or so. And no, I couldn't find a Walmart employee who had a clue what I was talking about, but I had a little time on my hands
Hope this helps!
I've tried the Humco, to me it just isn't quite the same as a good quality VG for DIY, I'm no chemist and dont know what the difference is in the Humco but it just doesnt seem the same to me as others I use for my DIY.
That is a good price, from Blue Mist. I hadn't yet researched a good place for PG. So far, only a site that sells it in large quantities. For you DIY-ers out there, whats a good blend for VG/Water/PGA? A response or a point to a good post will do. I have some organic VG that is good from a local health food store but it is as thick as the Humco. I did find a thinner one at another health food store but it tastes bitter.
Yes but while it's thin you can mix/ measure it easier with other ingredients to DIY juice.
Hey Tom, isn't that what 100proof Vodka is for? I would hate to use H2O in my atty's!!!
I've seen it once upon a time in the DIY section, folks were mixing it with a little distilled water and high proof vodka or PGA for those that could get their hand on it. The alcohol worked both as a thinner and theoretically helped keep the cart cleaner. Suppose if I can't find it, I'll have to just post a new question there and risk the inevitable "you should search a little and find it" response.
