I tried the search function for this and haven't had much success. Where can I buy PG locally? Would they have something at a grocery store? Pharmacy?
Any recommendations will help.

In the US, it is sold at many tractor supply stores (TSS), about $20 for 1 gallon of PG USP.
I opened Yellowpages in Egypt and kept on calling chemical suppliers until I found many with good prices. You may try the same because price varies alot.
Youmadbrah, I have to admit I am impressed. You keep working at finding what you need to make vaping work for you. Good job!
Wow, thanks for the fast responses. I checked out TSS, doesn't look like they have locations here in UT. I imagine this isn't an item I could get at Walmart or the local grocery store? I asked about it yesterday at a local grocery store and got blank stares in response.
What other applications is PG used for where they would sell it in a certain isle of the store? Google brings back a ton of different things.

You can order online, multiple places. DIY places tend to be a bit pricey, per ounce. Tractor Supply Company or other farm-oriented places sell the bulk PG USP, just hunt for the best shipping price.
If there's no TSS near you, check to see if you have any general farm supply stores locally. PG USP is used to treat a skin condition in livestock. As long as it says Propylene Glycol USP you will be fine. We reference TSS often only because they are a pretty widespread chain.

I've seen this posted several times but PG is actually used to treat dairy cattle for a condition called ketosis. It is administered through a feeding tube.
PG is also used in a multitude of skin care products for humans. Maybe that's where the confusion comes from?
Well the local Walmart won't order it. But you can find it on Ebay $6.94 for 4oz. Hope this helps you out.

Az -- Thanks for the clarification, you're of course right. Cows drink it, we put it on our skin and inhale it 
Online, GP sells PG 4 ounces (120 ml) for $5: VG/PG/Nic Bases
If you are up for the 1 gallon buy, keep an eye on PIF Deals and Steals, periodically an online shop will sell bulk pretty cheap, with low cost shipping.

A feed store would sell it as well. It has veterinary applications (treatment of Ketosis)

markfm, didn't mean to sound like a know it all but i was raise in rural AZ and several of my classmates parents were dairy farmers. I have shoved a few feeding tubes in myself however at the time I had no idea what I was feeding them. After starting to vape and doing a little research, all those fond memories came flooding back.
I live in cattle country and have never heard of using PG for skin conditions either, we shove a tube down their throat and dose them with PG if they develop Ketosis. ( It usually happens within a couple weeks of calving.)

Az, I do like hearing if there's an error, the only way to learn It's used for ketosis in cattle, keratosis (skin bumps) on us humans Easy to confuse the two for a non medical type. (for keratosis, it's a mixture of a couple of acids with PG)

(for keratosis, it's a mixture of a couple of acids with PG)I've been using PG from that specific Ebay supplier for a month-ish so far and it is really nice. Great prices on VG too with that supplier.
I had to speak with the pharmacist at Safeway and he ordered it for me took a day to get in, the label is pretty bland here is a link to their site Paddock Laboratories, Inc. look under products, agree to terms then look under P and it will be bottom right hand corner.
When I spoke to him, he had no problems ordering it for me just took him a min. to find it in their system, he never even asked what I wanted it for. The price is $20 for a pint 400 and something ML

I ended up going this route, and that seller shipped it out quick. After checking out most of the farm/tractor supply places here in town, I couldn't find the PG. However one of these day's I'll probably stumble across it inadvertently. Much appreciated for including this link!
I found I need to add a few drops of PG to my darker juices which have steepened up pretty good over the past few months. A couple drops in a 3ml tank has seemed to work on keeping the longevity of the carto's I use. One of these juices in particular is my all dayer, love the flavor! However it clogs the carto within a couple days. PG seems to be the answer.
