If its just a juice alternative I may order some to see how it vapes, and support some local people who seem to be really doing research and not just believing what the media tells them.

I dont care much for palm beach. Everytime i have been in one of their b&m it has been a less then pleasurable time. However i will stop in to pick up a sample of this stuff

Sounds like a snake oil salesman...

Old hat. DIY mixers who avoid PG (which actually isn't nearly as volatile at vape temperatures as has been implied) have been using distilled water as a thinning agent for some time.

So far as a "secret ingredient," is it nicotine? Because I see no need to add anything else to my juices - just VG, nic, and flavor - and if I was that freaked out over PG I could source VG-only flavors. I'm not.

I'm no chemist but the boiling point of PG is in the 320C range and the combustion point (where it would carbonize, that is to say burn) is much higher. Furthermore, it seems to me from doing some basic high school chemistry math that the production of formaldehyde while vaping would likely require one to be in a high CO2 environment. I would then think that one is likely to suffocate from natural asphyxiation before dieing of a formaldehyde related illness.
