Now is a good company, but I would not use that to vape as they don't label it as USP grade.
Vegetable Glycerine

thank you for your rply. im planning to make a diy e juice. because the price here in saudi arabia is to expensive. and delivery outside the country will have a custom problem they will hold you liquids.

Have you checked local drug stores. VG and PG is sometimes available in pharmaceutical grade from them or the pharmacist. It is used as a base for some medications

 

[kurt31]

Their marketing claims it's 100% pure, which probably means it's USP, which is 99.5% anhydrous.* And it's probably safe. But to be absolutely sure you're using what everyone else in the vaping world is using, you need to see the USP designation on the label (or see its equivalent grading if not purchased or made in the U.S.).

* 99.5% anhydrous means that up to 0.5% is water.

I used Now VG bought locally for years without issue when VG was a little more difficult to get. A lot of other folks in this forum also used it. If that is the only product available to you I would use it.

Now Foods has a store on Amazon. In the questions section, they answer that this is food grade on one question. On another if it is USP they answer that it isn't.

So might be okay to vape as food grade but it isn't USP grade

Just a little reinforcement here... I’ve used Now VG for years and it’s fine.

welcome kurt,may be a silly question but do you by any chance have a boots chemist where you are, if you do they sell bottles of vg in 250ml bottles good luck.

I would check a couple pharmacies and whatnot before ordering, although from the looks of the label and other's experience, if that is all you have to work with, it's probably safe (not ideal) but safe. And, unfortunately, it sounds like you are in an area where you may need to make those safe versus ideal calculations, so it's good that you are asking. In your situation, I would probably use it.

Best of luck

Welcome and glad you joined.
I suspect the importing of nicotine would be a problem but the other DIY ingredients should be benign because these ingredients can have multiple other non vaping uses.
