Are LorAnn flavors safe to vape?

[tdtyler]

I have searched for this topic or something like it to answer the question; are LorAnn flavors safe to vape?

I know the oils and sugars a can be a problem, but what about others? I have their blueberry and it is actually purple. That's food coloring, I know. So, what about food coloring in tiny amounts?

If this is a repeat topic, forgive me. I promise I searched diligently.

Short answer, nobody really knows. Long answer, when this all started Lorann was all anybody used and I've never heard any news reports of anybody dropping dead because of inhaled food coloring but there haven't been any long term studies of the health effects. I'm not sure what you were referring to with sugars and oils, but you should be aware they're hell on an atty so I would avoid the oil based flavors

Well, that seems like a voice of experience. Thanks.

Basically, a whole bunch of folks used LorAnn because that's all we had. Until the industry matured a bit more, LorAnn was it. During this time, no adverse effects have been identified with the exception of what we know about diecetyl, which came about because of microwave popcorn.

I see triglycerides and capric acid, ethyl and benzyl alcohol as ingredients.

Anyone else have time to comment?

I have been using Loranns for almost 4 months....no problems yet (except to find a third shoe for the extra foot I've grown). And I have gone through 32ml of the purple blueberry flavoring.

LorAnn makes a Wide Range of Flavors.

It is Kinda Hard to put a Blanket Blessing on their Entire Line. Just as it might Not be Accurate to say that they are All Bad.

I personally don't use Oil Based Flavors from ANY OEM.

BTW - Risk and Safety is Many Times defined as a Function of Dosage and Frequency.

A person who takes 15 or 20 Hits a Day of a 5% Flavored e-Liquid would seem to Incurring a Different Risk than a Person who is Chain vaping 15ml/Day of a 20% Flavored e-Liquid of the Same Flavoring.

I know that it would be Easy to just put a Box Around something and say it is Safe. Or that it is Not. But Unfortunately, that Hard to Do in the Real World.

BTW2 - How do You define "Safe"?

People can only give experience on this matter since no formal FDA research has been done on vaping food coloring. So..... having said that
I never use any oils or natural flavors from any flavor company. Some people dislike using lorAnns because of the food coloring but ive never had a problem and I've me mixing for 2 years now.

For the discussion, safe means nothing as bad as diecetyl. If small amounts of questionable stuff is easily flushed, good.

I appreciate the feedback. The time vaping testimonials mean a great deal. 2 years and two months is valuable to me.

Now, I've got a mix using their cappuccino. Finally I've found a cappuccino that works for me. My wife is using the blueberry, and she is pleased. I just didn't want to miss a thread or someone else's experience that says good or bad. Thanks again for the assurance.
