Who else uses pharmaceutical grade only?

[IgnorantCig]

I notice that Halo advertises that they use pharmaceutical grade ingredients, which I'm assuming is more pure than others. I already have a Halo sampler pack that I've been testing out.

I'm just curious to know if anybody knows of any other companies besides Halo that also use pharmaceutical grade ingredients instead of food grade?

You do realize the ONLY difference, food vs pharm grade, is the FEE paid to the FDA, right??????

No I don't check or care, really.. I buy my juice, based on if I like it or not. If I really cared about the health of things I wouldn't be sucking more foreign substances into my lungs, by vaping them, than provided by the atmosphere.

I've only been vaping a few weeks now, so this is all obviously new for me, but if you claim that there is no difference between the grades, would you be willing to vape feed grade juice?

I don't have anything against food grade juices, I'm vaping on some right now. Almost all juices that I have come across are food grade.

I am just curious as to which other companies besides Halo uses pharamaceutical grade.

The PG that tractor supply sells for $22/gal is USP grade. Several on here use it and I do too. I got some a week ago and tried a 10 ml batch of juice using it, could not tell any difference between it and the stuff I was paying over $5 for 125 ml.

For what it's worth THE USP is a pharma lobbying group that makes recommendations on standards to the US government. Also in order to be "Food Grade" something most FIRST be USP-NF certified. The NF part is the Government and NOT always printed on the label. ONLY those things with the NF are OFFICIALLY certified by the FDA.

part of the wiki.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) publishes an official compendium in a combined volume with the National Formulary as the USP-NF. The United States Pharmacopoeial Convention (usually also called the USP) is the nonprofit organization that owns the trademark and copyright to the USP-NF and publishes it every year. If a drug ingredient or drug product has an applicable USP quality standard (in the form of a USP-NF monograph), it must conform in order to use the designation "USP" or "NF." Drugs subject to USP standards include both human drugs (prescription, over-the-counter, or otherwise), as well as animal drugs. USP-NF standards also have a role in U.S. federal law; a drug or drug ingredient with a name recognized in USP-NF is deemed adulterated if it does not satisfy compendial standards for strength, quality or purity. USP also sets standards for dietary supplements, and food ingredients (as part of the Food Chemicals Codex). USP has no role in enforcing its standards; enforcement is the responsibility of FDA and other government authorities in the U.S. and elsewhere.
