Hello and spider

Have you had a good read through this board

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/18/mixology

and this thread

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/21122/beginners-guide-mixing

Boots or another chemist will be the cheapest place to get VG

[rincewind]

I noticed that in "Grizwalds Guide To Mixing" he mentions buying VG from Tesco's (other major supermarkets are available) in a 38ml bottle for like 50p or something. The one i believe he refers to is by Supercook.

Boots sore throat stuff, £1.29 for 200 ml.

Boots is where I always get mine as well . . . even though they did put the price up from 89p, it's still very good value.

The supermarket option I use is the Dr Oetker glycerin, works a treat

+1 for Boots cheap, convenient and B.P quality

Got mine from here... 99.9% pure and mentions both Pharma grade and suitable for vapourising in electronic ciggarettes

Got the distilled water from the same place too

Couple of quid more expensive than Boot and Tesco but a 500ml bottle will last for ages so am quite happy to pay a little extra to not have to get off my butt and go and get it

This is an interesting read

PG/VG labeling and purity: Please read!

There are NO sore throat additives in Boots VG. Glycerine has long been recommended for help in easing sore throats.

You are probably right Roger :Dbut since I am pretty new to this mix lark I like to err on the side of caution.... give it a couple of months and will probably be standing in the queue at Boots lol

Indeed Roger . . . when I first got my current doggy he had the most hacking Kennel Cough, so I mixed up a solution of VG and a little Manuka Honey which I regularly syringed down his little throat. I'm convinced it helped and made him a little more comfortable.

I am right.    There is no caution to err on the side of.  The online stuff is OK as well.  The Boots VG is 100% glycerol BP.  I was just concerned about you putting 'so no worries about any additives for sore throats etc'.

My old Mum used to swear by it for sore throats and coughs, probably why I like VG so much.
