Hi Dream. Yes it's fine. Most of the e liquid sold is Chinese in origin and many of the production facilities are like pharma factories in terms of cleanliness, QA, safety etc. The main problem is the time it takes to get here

I'll move this onto the General Vaping Board Dream, as a discussion about Eliquid isn't really for Member's.

Dam, i was typing as the thread was being moved!! lol!
A friend of mine brought a load of juice from zichhi.com, which is chinesse. All the ones of them I tried (about 15) tasted nice, not chemically etc. Hes been vaping them for a couple fo months with no problems at all! So I would say they are safe but cannot back that up with any facts! The way I see it is that it cant be as bad as the carcigens & cynaide that I was smoking before!! lol!
I do agree with you though, and I think eventually I will get into mixing my own! Its on my list of things to do, after buy a Provari!! lol

Damb me wow Ciar!!!!! Richdude , definately safer, stick to vaping Yes I think you will find Cyanide was carried by lots of infamous people during WW2 namely high ranking nazis, it's only after quitting smoking do you really start to appreciate what crap is in cigs. and actually sit and realise how great it is you no longer do it hah

I have reasons for asking this question, because as most of us may be aware the cheapest equipment and liquids are from China, but I remember when I first started out vaping I was googling on the net and be it from other forums or somewhere on the net ( I honestly, can't remember where) But I read that e liquid or the Pg Vg was not advisable to purchase from there. Something to do with the grade. Well, now I'm curious to know if it is unsafe or safe to purchase Pg or Vg, that is why in a previous post I asked why some liquids are sold so cheap? Actually I was wondering if the cheap E liquids could be so cheap because it could be made from these? I know you've mentioned "cheap" e-liquid before and perhaps have doubts about the quality as a result. The thing to remember is that even if e-liquid cost 60p for a 10ml bottle it would still be 100 times more expensive than petrol. There's really no such thing as cheap e-liquid.

Dream, you can buy Pharma Grade PG (not sure about VG) in bulk on eBay (I'm sure Perpy has a link to a recommended supplier). Shipping costs will depend on weight, of course, so you may want to compare unit costs and shipping.
I've bought from Health Cabin but haven't used it yet (must check expiry dates).
China Mail (slow boat) has always arrived between 13 & 20 days. EMS (Express) arrived in 5 days. Up to 500g was circa £11.50 then it leapt to circa £18.50.
If you look in Home> Vendors you'll find links & discount codes for HC. Amy is the contact & would probably answer any questions you have if you PM her.

Slightly off the topic but we know of the hygene at the main Chinese e liquid makers but do us mixers work under the same conditions, I do mine on the kitchen work top. Dave

PG pharma grade also available from boots at the same price and if it is ordered it is in stock the following day I have just noticed it comes from Andover so i will call and see if they can deal direct with customers as its about £5.00 for 500ml before boots but their mark up on

Good idea Colli, Ive heard Boots can be funny about sellling PG. I got the third degree buying Glycerin from them, anyone would have thought I was Lucrezia Borgia.
