as it was explained to me, I *THINK* you can only find PG, or just plain G at the store. I also *THINK* that you can get the pharmacy to order some VG for you... so yeah I guess your original question.. I am gonna go with a probably you can get it at a pharmacy but they have to order it for you ........
can i buy VG at a pharmacy? lol sorry for the spelling. if you can buy VG at a pharmacy is it the same thing you can vape with
VG is Vegetable Glycerine - Can be obtained at health food and Vitamin stores or at Amazon.com - The one I use is made by a company called NOW - I got 16oz for about $8 at Whole Foods -
Amazon.com: Vegetable Glycerine 16 fl.oz: Health & Personal Care You want it to say 100% PURE USP FOOD GRADE - VG will be sweeter than PG and will take some of the flavor away because of the sweetness - But it also gives denser smoke with more hang time - VG has many uses and is a sugar substitute for hypoglycemics so it is often found at health and vitamin stores - Pharmacies often do not have it - They have something that looks similar but does not say 100% pure and it costs about $15.00 for 6oz - Not what you want really
PG is Propylene Glycol and can be found at Tractor Supply or other Ranch and Vet type places for about $20.00/gallon - Is used for cattle treatment - Don't let that scare you - It's 100%PG - Although you may start to MOOOOooOoOOO
Dionne Keotosis Treatment Gallon Cattle Medicine - 2209731 | Tractor Supply Company

CVS Pharmacy has VG. Vegetable Glycerin Pure USP. It's in the cosmetic skin care section usually on the bottom shelf.
Walmart also has it in the Pharmacy Section.
They both carry their own brands.
That looks like it's probably ok - is there any ingredient listing at all?
I just told you what I KNOW to be safe - You gotta decide on that
USP means pure food grade. I was always told not to use it if it didn't say USP, and use this as "rule of thumb".
I really don't know about yours.
I don't know anything about the DIY stuff, but if this helps someone to help the OP, here's a link to the product from the manufacturer's website:

I think that's fine. You can also get VG as Wilton Glycerine in craft shops where they sell cake and candy making supplies. You want to make sure it's food grade not something used in soap or something I guess....check in the forum Tips and Tricks/DIY juice they have tons of info there!!
so when i start smoking this VG what are the signs its not 100% usp?
does my throat close up and i start foaming at the mouth?
does my throat close up and i start foaming at the mouth?
so if you buy VG at a organic health food store for baking doesnt it have to be USP 100% food grade? i mean you using it to bake... my bottle doesnt say that but its clear VG and its 100% VG it even says premium quality.....

Who We Are
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is an official public standards–setting authority for all prescription and over–the–counter medicines and other health care products manufactured or sold in the United States.

USP's standards are recognized and used in more than 130 countries around the globe. These standards have helped to ensure public health throughout the world for close to 200 years.
USP is a non-governmental, not-for-profit public health organization whose independent, volunteer experts work under strict conflict–of–interest rules to set its scientific standards.

"Glycerin Monograph Revisions
At the request of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USP has revised and strengthened its Glycerin Monograph to prevent future diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG) adulteration. The USP Excipient Monographs 1 Expert Committee has approved revisions to the monograph to include a 0.10% limit of DEG and EG in the Identification test of the USP Glycerin Monograph. The Glycerin Monograph has been posted as a Revision Bulletin in the New Official Text section of the USP Web site, and will become official May 1, 2009."
Remember the tainted toothpaste from China? It had glycerin adulterated with DEG (cheaper). The chemical causes kidney and liver damage, as well as attacking the central nervous system, causing paralysis that hampers breathing.
The glycerin you have looks to be safe if you trust their Quality Assurance team to have tested for DEG and EG. Is it worth the risk? I can't decide for you but a USP seal would be nice.
