I've been using that very product for almost a month for my mixes. It's USP, so it should be absolutely fine.
USP doesn't mean its Food Grade and Walmart describes it as for topical (not internal) use. Here is what USP means:
If it doesn't say Food Grade as, for instance, Capella's used in candy making and baking, I don't vape it. But that's just me.
PS: You can get Food Grade a many grocers as well as craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels where they carry candy making and cake decorating supplies.

As far as I understand and I don't know the exact number but it's 99%VG, one percent other, the other being a 'softner'... some people I know have tried it and dont like the taste. I have some but I just use it for SS prepping.
I was under the impression that we shouldn't vape the baking stuff, rather only USP (or BP or EU) grade?

Food grade is a LOWER grade than USP. USP is the grade used in asthma inhaler and injectable pharmaceutical products. Usually the other 0.3% is H2O. The Walmart stuff is just fine to vape. Read the sticky threads above.
It doesn't say that it is Vegetable glycerine.. just glycerine. I wouldn't vape it.
glycerine is glycerine
The source doesn't matter. Animal or Plant, it is the same chemical.
If it says USP it is safe.

I don't agree.. Have you ever tasted " Simply Fabulous" from Hobby Lobby?
Hint.. DON'T !!!
Glycerine is NOT all the same!! It may be the same chemically, but it is not the same functionally.. just like not all nicotine bases are the same To me, it's worth the effort to find a quality supplier who supplies a quality product, even if it might be a little more expensive.(but it usually isn't more expensive.. just better)
I don't mean this to sound harsh, purelyscientific, but I just disagree.

Is hobby lobby the same purity as the other VG you have tried?
From the same source? (animal/plant)
Doesn't sound harsh at all bro. No worries.

Lotsa folks use USP glycerine from walmart... Myself include, not dead yet, no ill effects. Need to go get my 3rd bottle. To me, if its kosher for an asthma inhaler its probably better than any stinky stick. So feel free to buy some that someone repackaged w/ a pretty sticker and sold on an internet store if you must. Just remember if you hear it on the internet its probably true.
