Didn't know there we 2 different kinds of PG:

  1. Derived from vegetable
  2. Synthetic Which is better for DIY juice? Is there any advantages/disadvantages of one vs the other?

You just need to get the USP or equivalent code for your country.

You may be thinking of VG though. Next time questions like this go in the New Mixers Thread, please.

Since they are extract by humans.

Extraction is not synthesis

Looks like some manufacturers create synthetic while others use the extraction method. Good looking out.

There is no real difference. Synthetic may taste slightly better, or just more neutral
