anybody seen gear with propylene glycol as the solvent? (instead of oil)

***thought experiment*** Just curious wondering today if you have seen propylene glycol as a solvent instead of oil in any gear....suppose somebody had a couple compounds (one soluble in both PG and oil and one soluble in only PG) and wanted to combine them 50/50 in one vial. PG and oil are not miscible. They could brew them both in PG.

Is there any reason why test couldn't be brewed in PG (apart maybe from cost ratio for labs producing gear, its a slightly more expensive solvent)?

oil is not a solvent....its the carrier...

lol semantics. Its both a "carrier" and a "solvent" but I'm not super interested in debating it with you (you're mean hahaha ).

Particularly interesting question though: has anybody seen gear made with 100% PG?

iirc I've seen some dbol liquid for sale made out of PG but I can't be sure. I don't think I've ever seen any test or similar compound made with PG though??? Anybody???

ive never seen an injectable that is oil only....

I have seen high% PG oils....

Revorfit was made out of PG if I'm not mistaken.

Most finished gear is fine without any PG... if anything it should only be used sparingly to make high concentration gear thinner.

In the vaping world, propylene glycol is used to cut down thick juice, and partly responsible for adding 'throat hit'; to make the sensation of vaping closer to smoking. I'm not a fan of any vape juice with PG.

I definitely don't want to think about gear prepared with only PG sitting in my muscle...

"Tissue damage at the injection site has been described after intramuscular injection of antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, vitamins, lidocaine, diazepam and digoxin in dogs, swine, cows, sheep and hens.

The damage caused by substances commonly used in drug vehicles has also been examined and compared with the effects of saline and distilled, sterile water. After intramuscular injection of saline or sterile water little or no tissue reaction has been observed, while vehicles containing glycerol formal or propylene glycol caused damage to muscle tissue."
