Glycerin from Boots

[kailey]

I have been buying my VG from online ecig stores but read on the forums that Glycerin from Boots was good to use for mixing so I picked up some Care Glycerin. However, when I got home I discovered it didn't say BP or USP anywhere on the bottle. I searched online and found there is another Glyerin from Boots called Value Health Glycerin B.P. Did I get the wrong one? ???

No Kailey I use the care glycerin if you read the active ingredient bit it does say bp

[Perpetua]

Either/or are absolutely fine Kailey.

as above says gycerine BP 100% under ingredients  in description

May need slightly thinned down with deionised water or vodka though as it is quite thick

The active ingredients says:

Glyerol 100% v/v

Does v/v mean B.P?

I am really confused.

No, it only says v/v. Nothing about B.P.

But it does say there are no other ingredients.

If you click on your link to the care product it says it in the description

The website is maybe more descriptive than the bottle label

v/v just means it is measuring concentration by volume, so if it is 100% glycerin you will be fine

Thank you, Dave.

Kailey, when I first started - like most people I guess - I was apprehensive most of the time - I can't find a *blind panic* smiley!

There is so much to take in and so many new things to learn, but you soon get to grips with it and it certainly won't be long before you know a lot more about mixing juices than I do

Kailey Boots do there own glycerin 200ml £1.34

[kailey]

I didn't know they did their own, Andy. Thanks for letting me know.

I love this forum because no matter how silly I think my question is everyone helps out. Thank you everyone.
