I found this article on PG.

the WHO also did a study and found the same results, and that for countries to ban vaping devices and juices, it would be a crime against humanity.

To say that it has NO side effects is disingenuous. We all know it has one. Throat irritation (TH) in concentrated amounts.

However, there have been many, many government and private studies that show that it provides no ill long-term health concerns, and is therefore used in hospitals to sanitize the air, among the many other uses mentioned.

The politicians aren't worried about health concerns. They're worried that vaping will replace smoking, thereby bankrupting the tobacco lawsuit trust funds. They want you to believe that they're concerned about your health, but in the end it's about money.

Oddly enough I am allergic to PG, trust me I know yet I am vaping a 50/50 ratio and yet to have the slightest reaction. I have come to the realization that not all PG is exactly the same or I have built a tolerance finally. I am dumbfounded on what the fuck is going on and extremely interested in testing straight PG to see what happens...I have epi-pens so don't worry.

I do know PG is an ototoxin...makes my tinnitus worse and every now and again I get a slight equilibrium instability...but I would rather hear ringing than cough up a lung and pretty much die of not being able to breath anymore...so it's a tradeoff

Most of my juices are 50/50, the occasional 70/30

Equilibrium instability. Like dizziness? I've been trying to switch to higher vg liquids to combat how thirsty pg makes me, I never knew it could cause dizziness too.

PG is also used in inhalers as a carrier for different medications.

And quite a while ago, I ran across a study that said exposure to inhaling PG could keep you from getting colds and the flue as well.

I read that as well… When flu season hits I'll need to add a touch of PG to my DIY just as precaution.

Yes, I guess it also has varying degrees too...depends on how it affects people...I find I have slight dizziness and quite irritated tinnitus

I've heard some hospitals pump pg into the air supply (air conditioning) because it kills germs.

I have confirmed this in 2 hospitals in Washington State but they use a lot more potent percentage and formula than what we use...I will explain more later...if I remember.
