vebetable glycerine

[sharoline424]

I bought some vg from a local health food store. It doesn't say usp grade, but is food grade. Is it safe to vape?

I don't know but hopefully someone else has the link to the difference between food-grade and USP

This post is about that very thing...

Should be fine. I started off with Wilton's (food-grade) then moved up to USP grade from the pharmacy section at wal-mart since it was much cheaper. I couldn't tell the difference.

Read that thread and it didn't really convince me that USP is much, if any, safer than food grade. Face it, the flavors aren't USP. However, they are food grade. I have a gallon of Now Solutions 100% vegetable glycerine I use for another hobby. I'll use it in juices too.

Besides they don't test on animals.

You need to be careful on purchasing glycerin. The now version is Vegetable Glycerin. Unless it says USP, i would not use it. USP means it was packaged in a clean room environment and is safe for use in foods.

Some people advertise the product is food grade and correct it is, BUT they are just putting the glycerin from a larger container into a smaller container. No clean room. AND as we know anything can happen!

Find a USP KOSHER label product. This means a rabbi has blessed the whole process and it is a independent overlook of the packaging. Check out www.VegetableGlycerin.com. They tell you more about USP, Kosher, and repackaged.

Way too late I'm afraid and it's fine. As I said, the flavors aren't USP either.

You can google the name brand and find out perhaps..
I have some I get locally made by Frontier, doesn't state usp on the bottle-only that's it's kosher. But when it was checked on their website they give that it's usp.
