Okay now it is really getting weird didn't think much of it at the time but normally I get the pg from the chemist the day after I order it this time it took a week to get in. I can't see David Craig ceasing making it, so unless there has been run on it for some reason, it shouldn't be this hard to get. I picked my bottle up Monday and all was fine with the purchase of pg still at that stage. I'll go order another bottle and see what is happening.

Hi Spirat,

The only thing I've found is Queen food flavourings. You can use a few of these, but not all of them. Check the ingredients. If they contain no sugar, and first two listed ingredients are 'water, propylene glycol', then it will be fine to use.

I've used chocolate, orange, coconut, rum and strawberry.


I just tried some Queens Coconut strait out of the bottle, It's awesome!
I don't think I have gotten so much vapour ever, and a bit of TH too, not bad for 0% nic.

$1.25 for 50ml from local IGA.

I got the rum too, but it smells very strong, I will mix some VG mixing fluid with that.

I noticed the orange flavour contained orange oil, so I didn't get it.

If you want Glycerin (VG) get it from your chemist or from the supermarket, its not in the baking section of coles or woolworths, its normally in the Health/Beauty section. The brand to look for is Fauldings and it is B.P the British version of U.S.P . Same stuff as from the chemist but a lot cheaper. i.e it costs me around $7 for a 100ml from the chemist for B.P and about that for 200ml at the local woolworths.

here is a link to another thread about flavours, ship to Aus and cheap as. Ordering some now. Flavours to come: cannabis, lol.

edit to my previous post.. the TH must have been from the menthol residue in the atty, because no I get no TH from the straight Coconut Queens Essence, although the amount of vapour is still huge, I mixed some VG 48mg with it and menthol, it's pretty good, and cheap. ($3 for the VG mixing liquid-Eastmall)
 
Ok just got some Fauldings brand Glycerine from Coles and some Queens flavouring.

From the chemists I also got something which I thought was PG but rather than Glycol it says Glycerol on the bottle which I didn't notice at the time. I did vape this (before I noticed the name thing) and it vapes fine but now am worried that I shouldn't use it. Is it the same thing? Can I use it?

Its a blue bottle with a bit of yellow and its Gold cross brand and it says Glycerol B.P.

100ml for about $6. and

Glycerol is an organic compound, also called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol substructure is a central component of many lipids. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.

Glycerol BP is basically VG, so it is fine to use.

I still can't get PG. My chemist ordered it for me but it is out of stock. He said he will keep trying and let me know if it comes in. I have a feeling it is no longer available. Shame, because the Glycerol is very thick and I wanted PG to mix with it instead of distilled water.

Hi Perpuk

The last bottle I got is winging it's way to Kimmy, I'm busy this week but if you still can't get a bottle I can pick one up for you the following week. So if you have no luck pm me next Monday and I will grab a bottle for you.

Thanks Kimmy and Perp. I usually google just about anything I want to know or check - I can't beleive I didn't think of just googling it before I posted here...lol

As for glycerol at the chemists it was just on the shelf. If I wanted PG Iwould generally have to ask at the counter right?
