I bought some PG and VG and VG doesn't seem to be something you want to use to thin a liquid. That stuff is thick! If you're trying to think a juice you would probably use PGA or water.

From what I've read, vegetable glycerin and glycerin are one in the same. When you go to Walmart or a drug store to buy the glycerin, you are buying vegetable glycerin.

I'm no expert and still learning myself, but if I understand correctly the difference between PG and VG as far as vaping goes, is that PG will give you the throat hit but less vapor or the cloud that you see when you exhale while VG will give you the vapor but no throat hit. People try to find a combination of the two that is good for them.

Again, you can buy VG at a local store. It's Vegetable Glycerin, but is labeled as Glycerin.

If you're looking to thin your juice because it's too thick, you will need to use PGA or distilled water.

I agree that thinning with VG isn't a good idea. Water or vodka or everclear are better options

All I can offer is that there are a few things that a glycerine can be made from...


here:
Raw materials used to make glycerol include animal fats, such as beef tallow, and vegetable oils, such as coconut and soybean.[5]
