Can we use vegetable glycerine to make bubbles?

Last summer my daugther and I were experimenting with some soap solutions to make really big bubbles. I google'd and found that if you add "glycerin" the bubbles last longer. It was said that I could find this "glycerin" @ most pharmacies. We shop around @ CVS, Walgreens, ETC... nobody even knew what I was looking for.

Lo & Behold I become a vaper, lurking around the DYI route... I've already spotted the VG @ my local pharma... now my question is:

Is the VG used for vaping the same VG used for making really big, long lasting bubbles?

Hi RubenX. Yes, the VG does add "structure" to the bubbles. They float & bounce better. Add a drop at a time to the bubble solution, blowing bubbles along the way to test them out. I've done this with cat & dog bubble recipes, too :)

If you have one of the paddle-style bubble makers it's fun to get all of the little bubbles bouncing around!
