The most common additives include propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), commonly termed as glycol.  These are the common food additives which are being used with the edibles since a long time.

 

Propylene Glycol has the water retaining properties; these properties of the substance enable it to be used for the atomized solutions. This substance has been widely used in the field of medicine since 1950s; provides the purpose of aqua in the asthma treatment devices and equipment. The greatest quality of the Propylene Glycol is its safety; it has been approved by the FDA (The US Food and Drugs Administration) and is included in the list of ‘accepted to use’ chemical substances.

 

Vegetable Glycerin has almost the same properties, as of Propylene Glycol. It is aqueous in nature, retains water and is used as an alternative to PG. It’s a very low toxic chemical substance, which is sweet in taste and is soluble in water. Vegetable Glycerin has also been approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration, but it is recommended to test it for possible contamination.
