Soy Based VG vs Palm Based

submitted about 8 years ago by dangrunau75

I have been using a soy based VG from Liquid Barn. A friend recently tried a palm based from Bull City and really liked it. He also said he'd read that it reduced steep time by a couple days. Just looking for opinions before I reorder my VG supply. Thanks.

The palm oil industry is responsible for the largest scale deforestation on earth, if that matters to you. Me, I'm a product of the American moral wasteland, so I'd buy whichever is cheapest :(.

I see. That does matter. So does a potential 2-day reduction in steep time. Just sayin...

That’s probably just placebo

I've also read that soy-based will make you grow bigger moobs. The internet said so, so it must be true right?

Palm based VG has a hint of sweetness already, which will help a little if you do not like using sweeteners.

I order my flavorings from BCF, but I get my VG and PG from NicotineRiver. They have 2.5 gallons of VG for 32.50 and a 1 gallon jug of PG for 18.99.

I believe they offer free shipping at 50 dollars....and those 3.5 gallons total 51.49.

Their nicotine is also quality, and they ship fast.

I do not work for them or have any affiliation. Just a happy customer.

Soy based VG almost certainly contains GMO soy (for those who care about that). Palm based doesn't.
