Vg vs OG

[rugman1969]

Just out of curiosity,
Does anyone know the health effects on either vg or pg? from what I can find, it seems vg is the way to go. I am willing to listen to anyone regardless of their opinion on this. Thanks.

Both Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine are safe for inhalation. None have ever shown any adverse side effects as a compound in and of themselves.

There are, however, reported allergic reactions to Propylene Glycol. It is safe to assume that the same is true for Vegetable Glycerine, since everything on this planet can cause an allergic reaction in someone.

Vegetable Glycerine, on another hand, is the alternative most people switch to when they find themselves allergic to Propylene Glycol.

Aside from health concerns, PG delivers a stronger throat hit and more flavor than VG, while VG produces much more vapor.

I feel that it really is a personal thing. As for safety you have to think in terms of ciggie's being so much worse. It's like going out during a fire storm( which I've had to do) or just a normal polluted day.

I think if you do a search there have been published studies on PG (I'll try to find it). I'm not sure about VG- There may be and I haven't seen them.

Both are better than the 4000 chemicals in cigs. I prefer PG or a mix of 80pg/20vg but that's personal preference.
