Is this Glycerin safe to consume? Bell's Glycerin BP
submitted about 10 years ago by Safwanish

Hi guys,

Newbie to vaping. Less then 48 hours :D

I bought hard 24mg nic 80 PG/ 20 VG e-liquids which are hitting hard on me so I want to lighten up a bit so I got the advice to dilute it with more VG so that it'll break some nicotine and PG concentration so that puffs are easier for me to handle.

I found this one readily available in my pharmacy, company is Bells Health and called Glycerin BP:

Can anyone check and tell me if this is okay for me to get and dilute with my current ejuice to break some PG and Nic concentration? Thanks

I do not reside in US, I reside in Dubai United Arab Emirates. We don't get USP Glycerin here unless ordered online for expensive shipping charges

Better link: http://www.bells-healthcare.com/miscellaneous/bells-glycerin-28ml

It says 100% glycerin, so I'd say you're good to go.

You can buy a gallon of USP glycerin with free shipping to the UAE for about $120 which is expensive but a gallon is ~3800mL. That's 160x 30ml bottles or under $0.75 per 30ml bottle of eliquid.

Also try calling OleoWorld and inquiring as to their prices.

Does this have any expiry? Does it need to be refrigerated?

I've tried every possible VG that I could find and as long as they are 99% or higher they have all tasted the same in my mixes. I think there are only a couple of manufacturers and the rest are repackaging/branding.

I say give it a shot.

BP (British Pharmacopoeia) is the British equivalent to USP (United States Pharmacopeia). There is also the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP). I'd say go for it.

If you're worried about the purity, taste it. My VG tastes sweet and no other flavors.

like taste as in orally?

Yes, a small drop on your finger transferred to your tongue. Should taste sweet with no other discernible flavors if pure. It's used in some foods and pharmaceutical formulations so it is safe to ingest.
