Whats the difference between PG and MPG?

[Dunny]

I've been searching online to purchase some PG in bulk and I keep getting results for Monopropylene Glycol instead. Does anybody know what the differences are between these two and is MPG safe to use for mixing your own e-liquid?

I think theyre the same but hold off untill this is confirmed

Yeah thats the most obvious difference

PG is a vaping necessity and MPG is how far your car will go on a tank of fuel.

Other than that I have no idea

PG = Propylene Glycol and MPG = Mono Propylene Glycol .... The PG that we talk about is in fact MPG so there is no difference.

So the MPG is perfectly safe to vape with! thanks
Is there anything else I may need to look out for when purchasing PG and VG?

Those are both fine m8 but are you mixing for the local community?    10 litres is a LOT of PG and VG

Its for me and a mate we're just stocking up. The more you buy the cheaper it is. Just saves me having to buy anymore in quite a while.

They do have a shelf life though Dunny, of around 2 years unless you store in the freezer . . . which is space better used for nicotine base really.

VG is very reasonable to pick up in Boots:

PG isn't that costly and easy enough to buy online:

I've fallen into the ' Buy in Mega Bulk Because it's More Reasonable ' with certain things too often Dunny, let alone the storage/use by issue . . . . one memorable bulk purchase was, loads of a certain brand of dog food when it was on offer - my doggy went off it completely.
