Is there an alternative to PG and VG?

 

[Huckleberried]

None that I'm aware of or even feel safe about inhaling into my lungs.

 

[Discobob]

I guess the next question would be why, do you have allergies to them?

I have used distilled water and it does work. But my oil doesnt mix with it perfectly. If I don't find anything else, it will suffice but I would like to find something that is a little easier to work with.

VG seems to have given me a cluster headache. Side question, is there a flavoring that doesn't use PG/VG?

What oil? Oil is normaly not good to be vaping.

I vape essential oils. It's safe to vape any essential oil that you can use in a defuser. It's the carrier oils that you can't vape (or defuse) as they are lipid base and can give you a lipid pneumonia. The only difference between vaping and a diffuser is the amount that you get in your system. Vaping is much more direct and concentrated so you need to mix it to a very low concentration or take very small hits.

that's fkn wack. What contraption do you introduce essential oils and other non food grade things into your lungs with?

 

[tchthsky]

It's not fkn wack. Essential oils have many medicinal benefits.

I'll answer this one, staying away from the oils topic. Yes, there are some that use alcohol as a carrier

true curly, and distilled water basically after the alcohol leaves the mix. Your handle makes me smile CurlyxCracker. That's always a plus for my day. Thanks. .

I've been thinking about this, too. My neighbor stocks good quality oils and has a ton of them... she actually brought it up and I've been meaning to investigate. I might have to hit you up later, if that's okay.

I'm curious as to what flavors you vape

 

[Zamazam]

Essential oil vaping? Wouldn't the heat destroy the compounds in the essential oil?

 

[tchthsky]

If I were going to use it for therapeutic use I don't see myself vaping it at the same temp or wattage as e-liquid. If adding it to e-liquid then I think you bring up a valid question.

there are a couple of alternatives to PG/VG there is bio-based PG made from corn usually...there is base that was coming out that was based on alot of different plants and herbs.http://apexbaselabs.com/matchless-and-the-progression-of-vaping/ I had my eye on this base liquid for sometime,but haven't heard much about it at the time I was inquiring about it the smallest quanity they woud sell was 5 gallons.
