I went to the a large chain pharmacy and asked for P.G. they gave me the run around about special ordering and such. They seemed to want to help less after I told them what I was going to do with it. It would have been more socially exceptable for me so say I was going to use it in an enima. Well I won't say which pharmacy chain it is because it would not be RITE or AID them in there business. A small locally owned pharmacy had it for me the next morning. Remember Mom and Pops own allot of shops buy from them if you can.

LMAO!

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. MR.MEAN

Laughing My Arse Off. X

X is my spokesperson. No more questions.

Called Walgreens to see if I could purchase some 8 oz bottles for my PG solution. They said they had no way of charging me for the bottles, so they gave me a half dozen. I will continue to do bussines with this big company that acts like a mom and pop business.

TRUTH

The drugstore that you wouldn't mention was allRITE and AIDed me in getting some. Next day pick up btw.

You must not shop in the town I do. I am glad they helped you.

The pharmacy at the local Walmart ordered it for me. They had it the next day. Cost $7.95

Okay, I am "New" what is P.G.?

Propylene Glycol

Thanks BMW - My guess - used in the humidor?

yup, use it mixed 50/50 with distilled water in your humidfier. Generaly as an activator, so to speak, and then just add distilled water as needed for about the next year or so.
I haven't had any negative experiences using this type of approach. I did have a slight mold problem in 1 humidore a while back that was only using distilled water. I went to the PG solution in it also and no mold problems since.

Professor Cliffstein will be conducting an experiment shortly on propylene glycol purchased from a source other than a tobacconist. A fellow scientist here locally purchased a supply large enough to humidify the city and was then told by the local tobacconist that this pharmacy-bought PG was different and would give off a funky flavor. I've NEVER heard this claim, but we scientists will find out for ourselves. We're each subjecting a standard favorite to the confines of a humidor equipped with this funky substance then will smoke the specimen in 4 weeks. I'll report in with my findings!

Cliffie,

I've been using the PG from the pharmacy since at least spring and not one problem with it. As a matter of fact, I think I'd trust pharmacy "grade" PG before that of someone else's in regards to taste and what not.
