What is pg suppose to smell like?

[toyotech]

I bought 500ml of kosher usp pg and it smells like finger nail polish remover in the bottle. This came from a ECF supporting vendor with good reviews. First time to buy pg for my diy

It's hard to describe, but it doesn't smell anything like acetone (most fingernail polish remover around here is mostly acetone.)

I google search and came up with ester type smell?

I would be Wary if I bought some PG and it Smelled like Nail Polish Remover.

Is it a Strong Smell or Just a Whiff?

Mine came from WL and I just checked it. No fragrance at all.

The smell is strong but when i poured some on a plate i could not smell it. I bought pg and vg at the same time. The vg is oderless.

I would Toss that PG. A Strong Nail Polish Remover Smell Doesn't Sound Right.

If you bought a Bottle of Cooking Oil or Milk and it Smelled like Nail Polish Remover, you would Toss It.... Right?

Was there any kind of tape around the top of the bottle? I can't remember what vendor but they'd put electrical tape around the cap. Smelled nasty but it was just the top of the bottle.

My fresh bottle of pg i just popped open from WL has a faint smell but im not sure if its the plastic bottle or the pg. its not a strong enough smell that its offensive tho

Pharmaceutical grade PG and / or VG should smell of NOTHING. If it smell's in the bottle but when you pour it out nothing then i would assume that it is the bottle material that smells. Either way, a reputable vendor should know what their containers are made of. If it smells strongly then it is either not PG or in fact could be ethylene glycol - what is used in anti-freeze and has a sweet smell not unlike acetone. If i were you i would contact the vendor and chuck it in the bin.

On Second Thought.

I would Keep the Bottle of PG you have until you get a New Bottle.

That way you can compare the Smell of the Old PG to the Smell of the New PG.

No tape on the bottle. Should pg be oderless like vg? I knew I should have got it from wizard labs. I got it from another vendor that had FW flavors.

Mine is. I think I got it from WL.

PG is a chemical and should be contained and labelled accordingly, if it is not then how do you know what it is?

Just got off the phone with the vendor. They are sending me out a new bottle of pg. They are aware of the problem and where confused why I got the bad batch in my order. Thanks for all the reply's.
