Raw materials used to make glycerol include animal fats, such as beef tallow, and vegetable oils, such as coconut and soybean

Done arguing with you over this. The "glycerine" that you can buy at a drug store is Vegetable Glycerine. They simply do not call it VEGETABLE glycerine.

Not sure where you're getting your information from but I do not believe there are any animal fats in the glycerine aka vegetable glycerine that you can buy at your local drug store.

Off topic i guess since i havent read through the posts but is it true that you can drink vg to help with arthritis ?

I read this when searching for VG one time

"
Best to wait for BrianFH to see & post.

I first ingested two ounces of CVS "pure glycerin USP" and became nauseous.
When it relieved arthritic pain in my knees and ankles in One day, I reduced the amount taken to 2/3 ounce twice a day.
To reduce ongoing cost, I ordered "Vegetable Glycerin USP - Kosher - Medical Grade" from amazon.com.
The label also reads "Finest Quality Vegetable Glycerin"

It continues to relieve my arthritic pain and my Lady is now ingesting to relieve her pain.
Yesterday my ankles were disappointingly sore. Since they are better today (Saturday), I suspect the cause of the pain was weather related. Wednesday it was 90-some humid degrees. Thursday night it got down to lower 40-some degrees and dry.

So far, I don't think ingesting has helped psoriasis at all. (Began April 30, 2011.)

I'm not a doctor, not a nurse, not a pharmacist, etc.
( I have an IQ of 142 and worked on mainframe computers for many years. I.E., " I ain't no dummy" )

My dermatologist, holding a doctoral degree and with many years of experience,
specifically said "there is no risk using topical steroids".

Let's have a show of hands of all here who agree there is no risk with the use of topical steroids.

Medicine is a service. (period)

If I have a legal question, I consult an attorney. And weigh the advice obtained.
Same with medical questions and doctors.

MORE importantly, I live with my body 24 X 7.

Obviously, there are serious legal ramifications possible if medicine is practiced without a license.

I report what helps or doesn't help Me, honestly.

If anyone Chooses to imitate, I hope they post their results.

Good Will to Men (and women) - and Relief to All,
Bob

I feel your pain. It hurt me just to read through the thread. Perhaps your first post here was too wordy. It might have helped to put the single correct answer in your post in bold.

As to the OP. You could have posted two different links to the products you were looking at over at madvapes. Then someone woiuld be able to look at the same thing you were looking at and give you a definitive answer to your question. All we can do is guess that one of the products you looked at was a VG based nicotine liquid, since you said that one was more expensive than the other. ONLY A GUESS, because you didn't specifically point anyone into the right direction.

I'm also new to mixing ,I bought a bottle of Glycerin USP Grade at Rite Aid,but on the back it says,Do Not Ingest.It says to only use it for skin care.Ingredient are Glycerin 99.5 Anydrous.Are you saying this would be OK to use.Just curious.I didn't dare to use it so I ordered some online that says it's 100% pure veg glycerin.This stuff gets a little confusing.

Vegetable Glycerin, Glycerin and Glycerol are all one in the same. It can be made from vegetable or animal, most vapers believe that if it is made from vegetable and listed as USP grade it is safe to use in e-liquid. The VG that I use is bottled for making skin care products but it is clean and tasty.
