VG question - is this right?

[urbancowboy505]

I was looking on the walmart website and I found this. Is this what you guys are talking about when you say you can get VG from Walmart?

Walmart.com: Humco: Skin Protectant Glycerin Usp, 6 oz: Medicine Cabinet

What about this one?
It doesn't say USP, but it does say in the comments that it is Kosher and has no animal byproduct/vegetable formula.

Africare 100% Glycerin | Walgreens

The one from Walmart is the one i know and use......Never seen or used the one from Walgreens....Not saying you cant use the one from Walgreens,Just saying i have never used it

I've seen VG at walmart as well, that has been used.

 

[urbancowboy505]

Thanks. I would really like to know if anyone knows anything about the Walgreens one or could speculate, I REALLY don't want to go to walmart.

The product you list from Walgreen's does not say USP, so its not a pharmaceutical grade product. I would not use it. I have seen Glycerin USP at CVS and other sources besides Wal-mart.

I'm not sure...but I remember trying to chase that question down once. Seems like I found a gallon of either pg or vg on Amazon.com from under fourty dollars???

But I'd make sure about it first.

Alright. I guess I'll look around a bit. Or maybe I'll just bite the bullet since I am considering getting some pyramid tea bags anyway. I just know that I ordered juice that has way too much nic for the amount I used to smoke, but I planned it that way thinking I would dilute it a bit. Maybe it would just be better to order a strong flavor and a doubler from tasty vapor.

PG can be bought by the gallon at many tractor supple stores I hear so it would stand to reason that amazon would stock it also (god knows they sell everything else in the world ), but from what I remember reading you should always make sure that either product always says "usp grade" or pass it by

 

[urbancowboy505]

I just know I remember reading a thread around here that specifically mentioned the term "kosher" and how it was ok, but I can't find it now and I'd probably be better off sticking to what all the experienced vapers are recommending anyway.

Yes, that HUMCO brand from WalMart is the exact VG that I and many have used and as others have said, as long as it is marked USP on the label, it is ok to use.

I also cut all my e-juice 50/50 with VG and the last batch of VG I purchased I got from here and with shipping was a little over $10 for 16 oz. which will probably last me more than a year.

 

[urbancowboy505]

thanks for that link. BOOKMARKED. anyway, I guess I want to ask some people who do cut their juices with VG. Do you notice a big decrease in flavor? I really like the idea of paying a few bucks for a big bottle of VG to cut with, but I don't want my vapor to lose much flavor either.

SO now I am at a loss because I don't know if it's better to buy the VG cheap or to buy doubler or other 0mg juices to dilute the nic content. I guess it really isn't much of a cut cutting method if I order the doubler. Maybe it's better to just buy 18mg juice.

Obviously I am thinking in circles here.

I found one at cvs pharmacy. The 4 inch tall bottle has 177 ml. but glycerin is thick, if/when I use it, I only put a drop or two per ml. of juice.

I've never used any doublers so I can't say anything about them, but I get all my e-juice in 50ml bottles at 18mg strength and cut it 50/50 with VG and it works fine for me. Yes, the flavor and nic level is cut exactly in half, but still enough flavor to satisfy my needs. Everyone is different and once you find what works for you, you'll know.

Thanks John

V1John. That is exactly the bottle I have sitting here. I routinely use it mixed with about 20% distilled water (or sometimes flavorings) to cut down juices. It does dilute the flavor some if you do not add back more flavorings, but with some juices that's a good thing.

 

[urbancowboy505]

shortstuff, where do you get the 50ml bottles of juice?

 

[smokin n jokin]

I order all that stuff from here. Buy their 100mg per ML nic and use it to add nic to Tasty Vapor doublers, they'll last forever.

HOLY COW! 110mg/ML!!!!!!!!! that's kind of insane, I like it!

and I just noticed that tastyvapor has a dulce de leche flavor. (MMMMMMMM)

So, let see, if my math is right (and it hardly ever is) I could order a 30mL bottle of 100mg/mL bottle of nic and a 4 oz. bottle of tasty vapor doubler, mix it all together and end up with 5 oz of 20mg/mL juice.

 

[Shortstuff116]

I get my 50ml bottles from Rocky Mountain Vapor. It's $22 for 50ml (any nic strength) and shipping is free on orders over $14 so it's not a bad deal. Their juice is Dekang brand which is what I like.
