VG, PG, and Glycerin

[xLowEndx]

Whats the main differences and where can I buy them? Can you buy PG or VG by itself or is it just glycerin by itself? I kinda know the differences between VG and PG and how they are both glycerin but if I'm cutting it then will I just get glycerin? I'm getting a tad bit confused . . .


Any help would be great, even links to other threads. Thanks.

Just to clarify, VG and Glycerin the same thing. Vegetable Glycerin.
It is available anywhere, grocery stores (used in baking, etc.) Wal Mart, cosmetic or pharmacy dept, any pharmacy would be a good source. It has many purposes, including juicing your carts! Get 100% pure, no additives. I use it for softening bamboo cane in chair seats, too. Prevents the cane from becoming brittle. !00% edible.

Got my VG from Whole Foods, $4.99 for 4oz (don't buy the tester!)

As an aside, has anyone tried Aloe Vera as a base?

I bought Glycerine USP from my local pharmacy. Strangely enough using it in 1/3 concentration with heavy vaping seemed to destroy my DSE-801 Batteries. So I've stopped diluting with VG

Here are the 2 best places for online purchases for each. In either case, buy 2, it ships for the same price as 1........

VG: Now Foods, Vegetable Glycerin, 473 ml - Supplements - Glycine - Now Foods - VitaPal.com

PG: Generic - Propylene Glycol #31230-Z

Why do you think VG is wrecking your batteries? I use a 50 / 50 mix. No problems with batteries, and my atty is four months old now.

I figured your 'god' comment was an acknowledgement that you had made it... and Elendil's comment.

Next step -'super'....
