VG vs. PG Difference

[wmichw]

Hi everybody! What is your opinion on
Vegetable Glycerin (VG) vs. Propylene Glycol (PG)?
Did some research on PG and it seems definitely safer than analogs (even natural ones), but it does not seem totally harmless either...

- Do you think that VG is safer?

- What are some other differences?

Thanks!

The only thing ive seen about pg and it being unhealthy is mostly people thinking youre sucking on a gallon of antifreeze.
Being a mechanic I have popped the top on many radiators that were boiling and shot out huge clouds of this vapor and im still alive and breathing ok so I dont think its nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Theres very little on these things.
SafER.. probably
Safe.. not sure either way.. unless youre inhaling 100 percent clean air what is safe? And where can you find that?
Is VG unsafe? I dont think its any more unsafe than whatever the last beverage you had was.
You can make anything sound bad if you word it right and the big tobacco companys have one heck of a reason to make vaping sound unhealthy and lots of good lawyers who can manipulate words.
After your own research im sure you will come to your own conclusion. They havent been out long enough to be proven safe or unsafe and none of us here are in a position to say as a fact either way.

Kavey.... unless your customers are filling their radiators up with the "pink environmentally safe" antifreeze, I doubt you've gotten a face full of PG. Traditional automotive "green" and 5 year antifreezes aren't made from PG.

Most of it is made from ethylene glycol which is what alot of sites will lead you to beleive youre inhaling when you vape. (and is more toxic in fact than PG).
Im just using it to show that I personally dont think its as bad as these sites will lead you to beleive.
