    No, its primary use is as a dietary supplement to prevent and treat ketosis in dairy cattle.

    Yes, primarily, but a friend who owns a dairy farm said it has lots of uses on the farm.

    Ecolab Launches Innovative Eco-Flex™ Non-Iodine Teat Dip
    Dip chemistry includes skin conditioners, ‘inert’ ingredients
    "Polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol and sorbitol are all emollients and humectants as well. These skin conditioners are found in various teat dips on the market. Propylene glycol is common in teat dips formulated specifically for cold weather because of its ability to resist freezing and keep liquids less viscous, even in very cold temperatures."

    What do tractors need it for?

    PG has a -wide- range of uses on a ranch, from mixing feed supplements to various skin treatments. The Ranchers I know are extremely particular about quality/purity when it comes to their animal's health and well-being hence the use of "USP" grade. In addition to being an outstanding humectant, PG is Bacteriostatic in that it inhibits the growth or reproduction of bacteria. It's also hygroscopic and anti fungal.

    X, the alternative shipping company that will ship vape products, has an interesting website. There's a couple of vape related posts on their blog. Some small vendors won't be able to use them, because they require a least 500 shipments per day.

    If my drip tip is banned, then big pharma and others should be taken down for inhalers, medical inhaler products and anything on Amazon that vaporizes like Vicks vapor. When they moan and groan about that and push for an exemption, CBD and other "medical" products are also exempt and thus a loophole is born.

    Sorry - but if I can go to a health food store and choose to eat something with the word "wart" in it, then my flavor inhaler is off limits too.

    Where is there a lawyer with some spirit that wants this on their resume? :) Let's start with Pfizer.

    I was in our local TS store yesterday and they still had gallons of USP Propylene Glycol on the shelf for $24.99.

    I've used PG from TSC for years in my liquid .. it's always in stock, no shipping required and, as a bonus, I have not grown any extra appendage .. teat or not ..

    I hadn't planned on upping my nic stash with stimuli money, but your post got me thinkin', for less than half the check I could add another 30 years to that stash.

    eta: Of course that dream was based on what nic prices used to be..

    I was right, now that retail nicotine sales as over, I finally got my stimulus check.

    I hadn't checked my account since early Friday morning - I needed a few things from the store and had meds to pick up from the pharmacy Friday - and it wasn't posted when I checked.

    But I hadn't checked since so I thought I'd check this morning, and sure enough Happy Easter! Stimulus check sitting there!

    Haha.. can't buy any nicotine though... I bet someone in the government hates me.. haha

    @Opinionated here is a link to unclejunkle's blog about vendors for nic per area. Are you close enough to pick up if necessary?

    https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/ubs/list-of-usa-based-nicotine-base-vendors.17/

    No, we couldn't go and pick anything up. First, I still am unable to sit very long since surgery, and while my husband could do a road trip without me, I can't do home without him very long... it may be something we could figure out, but atm I'd rather not have to worry.

    MFS is saying as of tomorrow no one will accept vaping products for shipment even to states it's legal to do so, so I'll wait and speak to them on the phone tomorrow and see what they say, since they are closed today.

    Thank you so much for your help @rosesense , I had thought everyone already stopped. At least there's a window of hope. :)

    I think Nicotine Giant (formetly RTS) is still shipping 1000 ml of 100 mg Flavorless Nicotine Liquid I am mixing with their 2014 nic and it's still clear and almost colorless. Good luck!
