Where to get PG/VG

[Frenchfry1942]

Got a question. I intend to get a very high nicotine in a liquid carrier, so, where can I get PG and VG separately?

Lots of places that sell DIY but I get mine here

» DIY Labware & Supplies

RTS is probably one of the largest and most supported sites recommended on ECF:

DIY E-Cig Supplies & E-Cigarette Liquid | Make Your Own E-Liquid | RTS Vapes

Their Hangsen line of flavorings are considered some of the best based on posts here on ECF.

I get my VG at Wal-Mart. It is available at the OTC area, usually with the rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, etc section. I got my PG at a farming supply store, a gallon for $20. It was difficult to find in-stock, as people have found a lot of uses for it, beyond its use as an animal laxative.

Essentials Depot is my preferred source for PG and VG.

+100 Essentials depot!!! If you buy a gallon of each, the price is low, and it includes free shipping.

+1 on Essential Depot, a gallon each of PG & VG for less than $55.00 shipped. I'm very happy with mine!

Interesting that it is 55 for a gallon of each, or (another page) 2x gal of vg for 46 = 23/gal. That equals 31 for the pg that I can get at Tractor Suppy for 23 here. OTOH vg from CVS is ~112/gal buying 6oz at a time.

I actually got 2 gals vg for $55 plus free shipping. Much cheaper than the cvs route.

So, Walmart for VG and farm store for laxative PG. I was actually thinking about local places.

I am really having faith here about that laxative PG...

Wizard Labs is my first choice.

The pg at farm stores is USP but intended for cows. After calving the cow can get ketosis. Humans can get it from a low carb diet like the fad diet a while ago. Best I can tell from wiki.

PG is used as a carrier in breathing treatment inhalers.

Two gallons of vg at essentialdepot is 45 and change free shipping. That's why I said better to get the pg at Tractor supply than the 55 vg/pg gallon combo.

I have several bookmarks for the nic, they all sell PG & VG. Actually have 5 now. Includes Wizards Lab and Essential Depot. Thanks all.

ecigexpress is a place i buy from. Myfreedomsmokes is another.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Okay, okay! I'll add them! (sheesh!)

Ok kids, one gallon without shipping is 16.47 at ED (not that ED) and is 10.5 pounds

10 pounds here is 13.65 without shipping

One gallon pg at ED is 9.2 pounds and 19.94

8 pounds pg at BA is 19.95

But I know you all want to buy those drums...

 

[PaulBHC]

Then ED offers
2 gallons of vg for 45.95 plus 2 gallons of pg for 59.74 free shipping = 105.69
If you buy two of the vg/pg deal to get 2 gallons of each 54.49 x 2 = 108.98
But if you don't need all that...

Paul, I have serious doubts I'll ever be able to use a gallon of each. No way I'd ever use 2 gallons of each, unless I find the fountain of youth

Seriously, I think their price of $54.49 shipped for a gallon of each is pretty darn good, especially considering I think it's very good quality.

You are probably right. They are probably pricing it with the average shipping cost figured in.

I figured out that the most we go through of 50/50 is 5ml/day for me and 3ml/day for the wife. 8x30 days is 240/month. The overpriced CVS/Walmart VG is a 177ml bottle. with the nic in the PG an equal amount gives us 354. Divided by 240 is a month and a half supply.
The 177 bottle is 1/21 of a gallon. If I got a gallon of each that would be around 31 or 32 months supply.
