Humco makes vg under their own label, and from the look of the bottle, CVS as well. Probably anyone can order enough to get a label like walmart, other drug stores and craft stores. That is why I find it strange that people report different taste from some stores and not others with probably the same vg in the bottle. Storage or shelf time maybe?
Have you noticed if the bottles in WalMart have an expiration date? I wonder how fast that stuff flies off the shelves.

Niburian, I totally agree with you. I think the Walmart brand is called Humco. Not only does it make all the juices and flavors taste "plasticky", it makes me cough like crazy when I vape it. I think the best is the Wilton's brand, found at hobby lobby, Michaels crafts, or any craft store. It's used to make cake icing, found in cake decorating aisle. I think it has a sweeter taste. I've searched high & low on where to buy the Wilton's in bulk sizes, but no luck. A 2 oz bottle is about $2.50-$2.99

Awesome! I live pretty close to a Hobby Lobby. I will have to check it out. Otherwise I will probably hit up WizardLabs as it is also pretty local for me.

I just ordered from Essential Depot in Florida - 1 Gallon Veg Glycerin + 1 Gallon Propylene Glycol - FREE SHIPPING for $54.49. Both USP. The lowest price BY FAR.

The next closest price was at VaporShots at $15.25 for a Liter (add in shipping). Same price there for PG and VG.

And since 1 gallon = 3.8 liters... you do the math.

Essential Depot is sending it UPS and they take paypal. Good for me because I have money that's been burning a hole through the paypal vaults for a few years (a reason why I don't mind fasttech so much).

Just placed the exact same order from there not more then an hour ago. Heard very good things about them but never tried them. Guess I'll find out soon how good they are.

Hey Dannyv45, I was reading some of your blog posts on DIY and RY4 the other day. Very interesting stuff. Nice detail.

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

Did you look at the shipping cost if your purchase is less than $250.00? Where is the savings?

Heads up- I just went to essentialdepot and got a pop-up saying their prices were going up 20% in the near furture.

That site has been doing that for a while....like several weeks. I wonder if it's a way to try and get you to buy right NOW? Sort of irritating.

I actually talked to a Dow Rep...looks like I'm gonna snag a sample of Optim...so I'll see your ED and raise you a Dow :toast::img:

That's hilarious, but very true. Just ignore and go on your merry way is how I figure it. When I first got into DIY I came across a link for some free samples of DOW's VG. Pretty sure it was VG. Came in clear glass bottles and I must say it was very good. Unfortunately, I could not find who sold the products in quantities smaller than railroad tank cars :( Maybe you will have better luck and of course, will share that info, right?? Just kidding, I know you won't hold out on us.

Maybe we'll just have to siphon one of those railroad tank cars dry, ala Breaking Bad. Of course I wouldn't want to have to shoot some little kid on a bike! They kind of jumped the shark on that episode in my opinion. I really didn't watch it much after that.

Just kidding on all of this of course, and you have to be a fan of Breaking Bad to appreciate it. The Dow tank car made me think of it. Now, back to the thread...
