Lucky, PG is forum shorthand for propylene glycol.
VG is forum shorthand for vegetable glycerin, also known as glycerin, also known as glycerol (and even sometimes spelled glycerine). All three/four are simply different names for the same substance.
I use glycerine Queen and it doesn't worry me. I'm not saying my opinion is good enough for anyone else but not everyone thinks there is a real problem.
That was more or less the conclusion I came to after much research and agonising.
I don't like to take obvious risks but this one doesn't seem too high to me.
I agree on some levels with what both Kate and Queen are saying; however, since there IS potential controversy with the VG and MOST of the liquids are made with PG, there must be a reason they did it that way. So why not just use the PG instead until, of course, we hear bad on the whole dang deal. LOL
If I come home with a gallon of something to treat cows with from the tractor supply store, my husband will have me committed for sure!

Lucky--Pg breaks down to lactic acid with causes issues with some people and also PG has a higher allergy rate and throat irritation issues compared to Vg that breaks down to simple glucose and usual presents no issues---Sun
That's just how they started out but some are changing. Sedansa have started using PEG400 and Wicked have been advised in a toxicology report to look into changing from pg to glycerine.
The only research around is for Ruyan eliquid but it's based on propylene glycol and gives it a clean bill of health - http://www.healthnz.co.nz/RuyanCartridgeReport30-Oct-08.pdf
