Don't be mad cause I called you out in the other thread. Consider vg something other than a type of oil if you want. And continue to rebuild without knowing ohms law if you want. You are ridiculous.
The USDA classifies vegetable glycerin as a "trihydroxy sugar alcohol"
Glycerin—produced by hydrolysis of fats and oils - Agricultural ...
Here is
one of
thousands of exerts from fully-vetted scientific sources (not just vendor or hobby websites) stating what vegetable glycerin is.
@AndriaD is correct. Though derived from oil, vegetable glycerin is not oil.
USDA say:
"Composition of the Substance:
Glycerin is a trihydroxy sugar alcohol. It is the simplest trihydric alcohol and considered a derivative of propane. Glycerin is classified as a nonagricultural substance in section 205.605; however, certified organic glycerin derived from agricultural products is available.
Practically, organic glycerin is extracted from a fraction of a processed organic agricultural product. Whereas, the identity of the initial agricultural product i.e. fats, oils or starch is unrecognizable in both fraction and extract.
Source or Origin of the Substance:
Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a German chemist, first discovered and isolated glycerin in 1778, while working on the saponification of olive oil with lead oxide. In 1813, Michel Eugene Chevreul, a French lipid chemist, showed that fats are glycerin esters of fatty acids. He also gave glycerin its name, “” the Greek word for sweet. Pasteur, in 1857, showed alcoholic fermentation of sugars produced glycerin and succinic acid. Glycerin is an intermediate in cellular carbohydrate and lipid metabolism found naturally in all living organisms. "
