What is Proplyene Glycol?

[thewomenfolk]

My local Walgreens says they have Proplyene Glycol which they say is Miralax, the USP version which is over the counter...is that a laxative and is it in liquid form, and is this what we use for our recipes?

Miralax is Polypropylene Glycol -PPG- and it IS a laxative. Propylene Glycol -PG is different. Look it up in Wikipedia.

Jeannie, thanks for the info....I went to Walgreens but after looking at the bottle for awhile decided against it. I'll prolly end up getting the PG off the Net. Thanks again!

Forget Walgreens; they do not stock PG. Try a feed store near your location.

question:

Why go with PG over VG, (or the other way around)?

The carts I got with my SE Gold were PG, I assume, and I've since reloaded them with juice I cooked up with VG. VG, to me, has a toastier flavor to it, and seems to produce more vapor. Are there pluses to PG I don't know about...being a noob, and all?

For me the best is a mix of VG and PG, pg for the hit and vg to avoid refilling

I'd be using VG if it didn't make me fat.
