Is there any e cig that doesn't use the Propylene Glycol (anti freeze). I have a green smoke ecig and find both the reg and marl flavors sweet tasting and I am thinking that is what is causing it. Moderator Update:Here is a list of e-cigarette brands that use PG: e cigarettes with PG.

I am not aware of any ecig brand that does not use Propylene Glycol (PG). But Johnson Creek offers smoke juice with reduced PD recipe. http://www.ecigarettes365.com/product/B ... SmokeJuice Here is some good info from Johnson Creek: http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/category/LearnE-liquid/Smoke Juice The liquid used in electronic cigarettes that contains distilled water, flavoring, and nicotine. Smoke Juice provides vapor as well as flavor. PG, Propylene Glycol The ingredient in most eliquid recipes that produces vapor. Propylene Glycol, or PG, is on the FDA's list of substances generally recognized as safe, and is used in everything from fog machines to artificial flavors. Reduced PG, VG, Vegetable Glycerine A very small percentage of e-smokers have a sensitivity to PG. That's why we offer an alternative recipe. Our Reduced PG recipe uses Vegetable Glycerine as the main vapor-producing agent to create a similar vapor that is usually slightly thicker. Here is how you would refill Green Smoke cartridges with smoke juice. Hope this helps ...

Actually, PG is used as a "less toxic" or food safe antifreeze. It is on the GRAS list put forth by the FDA. Keep in mind, ethylene glycol is much more suitable in a car versus PG, so it is NOT the same as the real antifreeze. I just wouldn't want to chug a glass of PG either.

About PG. I read a chemists report stating the PG was less toxic than alcohol. PG does not stay in your system. I believe the PG could even prevent colds and flus. A doctor used it in a childs holding room and found it prevented air borne viruses. Did many tests on mice and apes and found it very effective.

antifreeze has, among other things, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol.It is my understanding that pg is a food additive and is used to make plastics.Someone correct me if I'm wrong-good vaping

Propylene glycol is also found in loads of foods and asthma inhalers.
Apart from PG, there are PVliquids made with PEG400 (polyethylene glycol I think) and glycerine. Glycerine is sweeter than PG.
Some people are sensitive or allergic to PG and use glycerine, it's a common alternative and shouldn't be hard to find.

What this post shows is how well the anti smoking groups efforts of associating Ecigs with antifreeze are going.
How often do you hear similar questions regarding green cupcakes, which also contain components of antifreeze.
PG is fog juice, used in theatrical productions and clubs every single day. Don't get it confused with antifreeze please!

I am not familiar with e-cig brands but I am a great fan. I've search about propylene glycol and I am afraid of the said results.Known health effects: throat irritation, headache, backache, kidney problems, oedema (swelling), necrosis (cell death). If swallowed, can cause drowsiness, and slurred speech, possibly stupor, vomiting, respiratory failure, coma, convulsions, and death.
Sincerely, Frank
