Where Do You Find Glycerin?

[agentscot]

Is it available in grocery stores or something, or do I have to go looking in different places?

drug store/pharmacy

I went to Walmart and got some in the medical section. I didn't get "food grade" Because food grade is the exact same stuff as the medical crap.

I have been using it for the last couple years and haven't felt any side effects.

sorry for the newb question, but what would the glycerin do?

it is what they put in the shisha to make it wet. It revives old tobacco that has become dry and almost unsmokable.

I've used honey before, and thats worked fine. I like to add a little to Nakhla, and if I smoke HH or HF, I have to add it or the foil burns in pretty fast.

if you go to the grocery store you can probably find it in the same aisle they put frosting and cake decoration etc. things in. (IF you haven't already browsed the pharmacy section as others suggested)

Vegetable Based Glycerin's

You can also use corn syrup - the brand name is Karo.

Actually, glycerine is glycerine, best thing to use. Honey and corn syrup aren't substitutes. I recommend using glycerine or...um water based sex lube that only contains glycerine, water, flavoring and artificial color. Make sure it doesn't have anything else in it...like spermicide.

I pay about $1.20/pound and there's about a pound in 16oz. of glycerine...so $2.85 isn't too bad.

Is that the secret to the Tangiers flavor? Water based Sex Lube??

Haha. Sometime a little less or more though huh? ; ) haha

OK, ive been scouring my drug store and grocery store and the only Glycerine I've found is either solid or liquid suppositories. I'm not too excited about inhaling something that was intended to go in someones ass.

Dont need to buy it. I poop my glycerin out. Comes pre-packaged and ready to consume.



I buy mine from Michaels, well, used to back when I smoked a lot of -rather dry- Nakhla.

Glycerian is useful when you get some dried out tobacco does but a little on it and it will smoke fine.
