What are all our options for VG and which do you like?

[NicLiq]

Maybe it's just in my head, but I have decided I don't like HUMCO glycerin anymore.

These are the only options I know of (in the US):

-HUMCO, USP (also manufacture for many drug store brands)
-P&G, USP, Kosher?
-NOW Foods, Food Grade

I ordered the free sample from P&G, but I never received anything.

I would like to try the NOW Foods brand from Whole Foods, but there were forum references to it possibly containing HFCS (which might be why people think it tastes better), and that extra ingredients don't have to be disclosed because it's not labeled as USP. I don't know if that's true.

Sure would like others' opinions on VG and if they can tell any differences.

I can't remember the brand name (but it wasn't any of the listed above), but I got a bottle of USP VG from Sprouts, a not-quite-whole-foods whole foods kinda grocery here in Phoenix. If you have Sprouts there, you're set.

I like this:

I agree with NicLic , I do not like the Humco at all it sucks,

I did get 2 gallons of the free Kosher VG from that proctor gamble sample thread "Free VG" though, and I have to say it is super stuff, I got 2 different kinds from them both Kosher and they are the best VG's I have used as of yet.

NOW claims their VG is 100% pure. It is suggested to use on dry skin, so HFCS would not be a good additive for this application.

NOW Foods - Vegetable Glycerine - 16 oz.

Its possible it does not have the USP label because they do not do animal testing. I have been using it for many months, and I like it a lot better then drug store G, which is not necessary vegetable-derived, and has a plastic taste to me. I see no indication it has HFCS in it at all, nor does it taste like it does. Tastes simply like glycerin to me. Normally it is more expensive than say CVS brand, but Amazon recently had it on 50% discount, so it was cheaper. I personally have had nothing but good vaping with it.

I also use NOW glycerin and consider it to be top quality.

Thanks everyone for the info, I think I will order from Amazon and go get a bottle of NOW. I sure would like to try the P&G too, maybe I'll have to try to order some rather than trying to get it free.

davelog, we don't have a Sprouts store in Minnesota, but if you're ever in there, could you check the name of it?

mwa102464, does it bother you in any way or do you just not like it? I "think" I'm getting headaches from it and something is just a little off in the taste, especially when mixed with certain flavors.

The taste the Humco has, nor the smell, I dont like the way it works with my DIY compared to the to the proctor gamble stuff I got, this proctor gamble Kosher VG to me is the best I have used and I have used quite a few different ones now, and dam they sent me 2 gallons of the stuff as a sample I think I have enough to last me until it goes bad, I guess a year and a half worth anyways

NOW Foods - Vegetable Glycerine - 4 fl oz

I just bought this for $5 at our local health store. Probably not as *cheap* as getting it in larger quantities, but it is VERY good. I watered down some 24mg PG with it and it was very creamy/smooth, no off tastes, and produced a lot of vapor. Is this the same stuff? It says it's 100% pure, non-gmo

 

[MaxUT]

Yep, that the one. I bought a 16-oz bottle from the local health food store for $8.99.

The label says:
"100% pure Vegetable Glycerine has a long shelf life and does not easily oxidize. It is an all-natural product derived from non-GMO palm oil or vegetable oil."

 

[gingersnaps]

I really like the free P&g I got too. before that I like using wiltons since I could pick it up easily. I do not like humco at all. it has a very odd taste to it. I thought my taste buds had gone loopy (they do that sometimes)but when it still tasted bad after a week I threw it out.

 

[NicLiq]

Its really nice to know that others think HUMCO is different. I still haven't been to Whole Foods to get NOW, and I've still got my fingers crossed that P&G sends me something.

This has been really helpful to me Thanks!

 

[Dudeman]

I get all my VG and PG from here : Glycerin, Vegetable . Best VG I've tried that didnt come from an ecig vender.

Good prices and fast shipping but the shipping isn't very cheap. 16oz of each comes out to just under $20 shipped.

 

[Religion]

I like NOW and I haven't dared to use humco because it tastes and smells funny to me.

I also like the NOW brand VG. I get it from iherb.com:

Now Foods, Vegetable Glycerin, 16 fl oz (473 ml) - iHerb.com

It's cheaper than amazon. If you want a code for $5 off your first iherb order, shoot me a pm.
