A pharmacist has never heard of PG? That's a bit scary to be quite honest... glad he/she isn't the one counting my pills! LOL.

I mostly use 80/20 or 70/30. For some reason I tend to taste VG, so if I go any more than 30% I start to taste it. 80/20 and 70/30 seem to be the most popular.

I guess I hadn't noticed that the Uk site had a more limited stock.
The flavourArt flavors are all water soluable....you can look at their site-- http://www.flavourartexpress.biz/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=7 this page gives some information about the flavors they sell.
You can check out the flavor suppliers. I primarily use FlavourArt or perfumers apprentice.
We all use various vendors for various supplies.

Sometime the vets on the forums tend to use terms and slag for some of the most common items, methods and hardware for vaping. This is not the ultimate guide but should make some of the terms a little clearer. (I hope)...

VG = Vegetable Glycerin. Glycerol, Glycerin and Glycerine are the same. I think what varies is what and where the glycerol is derived from and maybe it's level of purity?? It is used in all sorts of products but I'm not sure if there is a purity level that determines food grade vs other grades of VG. Here's the wiki entry for Glycerol .. it might help

Yep Mine too, especially last night when she found me in the kitchen trying to get juice from one cartridge and put it in a differant one!

I first started vaping to beat a ban at work and I intended to smoke in the "free world" but I soon lost my tatse for analogs alltogether.Been two year + and out of curiosity I bought a pack of Camels.The first wan't too bad ,the second one was pretty bad,gave the rest away.End of experiment.The Ego or any Joye ,DSE or KR kit would be good ,stay away from the ones that are rebranded and where they won't tell you what kind it actually is.
