Where the @#$#@ do you get this stuff around here. Been to Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Mom and Pop store. No one has it. One pharmicist replied, "Propylene Glycol? We would never carry that here, its much too flamible, what do you want to do with it." He looked at me as though I was trying to make a bomb! Any help would be appreciated.

tommy, I was going to give you the name of the place (Chem-Lab Supplies) where I buy mine here in Placentia, but I think they went out of business... Regardless, you should have better luck at a chemical supply store rather than a pharmacy.

And that pharmacist was incorrect, PG is not that flammable. I'm sure he stocks liquids that are much more flammable.

Fight on!

Tri Ess Science
1020 Chestnut Street
Burbank, CA 91506-1623
818.848.7838
email: science@tri-esssciences.com
Monday through Friday 8:30 to 5:00
Saturday 9:00 to 1:00

8 ounces for about $7 or $8.

They sell scientific supplies to schools. Special effects to the movie industry.

If you go on Saturday, best to get there before 11:00AM to avoid crowds.

FYI, I switched to Climmax beads. Don't have to worry about adding water. Dumping out solution and wondering how much PG is left in there, etc.

I recently was asking about humidifiers, and someone mentioned they found it at walmart. On the otherhand i ordered from bargain humidors, so i never have checked on walmart.

I get mine at Longs Drugs for about 8 bucks

The people at CVS looked at me like I was insane. The lady at Wegmans wanted to know what it was for, then told me it was discontinued, but might still be out there. No section given.

What else is PG used for? Which sections should I check?

Just ordered the climmax beads, hope I don't have to look for PG anymore.

Matter of fact, I just asked about the stuff a local pharmacy. The guy said it's pretty regulated, it's a carbon based chemical or something. He said to try at hobby shops.
BB, Wegamns huh. We have those where I'm from in NY, big ass supermarket huh?

LD- Here in NJ they are an "upscale" huge super-duper market. Great selection and quality, a bit pricier than shoprite.

Castanza · 06-10-2002, 12:39 PM

I called Target pharmacy & they said no problem. THey will order & have next day. Price approx $8 per pint.
