That's not going to work well... water doesn't vaporize very well. You'd be better dissolving it in PG, but even then, you're adding sugar to the mix which is just going to burn on the coils and gunk up really bad. Check out the DIY section here, and you can find recipes for jolly ranchers flavored juices that will work for you... but beware the rabbit-hole!! Once you start DIY, it's hard to make yourself pay $20+ for a 30ml bottle!
NOT a good idea. There are things in there that you don't want to be vaping, like corn syrup, sugar, artificial colors and mineral oil.

Don't do it.
If you want to re-purpose jolly ranchers, dissolve them in some vodka(only dissolve one flavor in the vodka). It works great to make some flavored vodka.

Actually I see nothing dangerous. It's just sugar. Coil will be dead in an hour or so, but xantham gum could be delicious when properly burnt. Why are you people so negative?
What if you vaped it with temp control?
Still mess up the coil?
sugar liquifies at about 320f....

Burning sugars results in a bunch of aldehydes, ketones, and other toxic stuff.
It's actually pretty well-known that burning sugar produces some real gnarly garbage. Like, the reaction of sugar + combustion is about as violent/harmful of a chemical reaction as you could ask for. Black, plastic-y smoke (not vapor) and really questionable chemical components.
There are some really good reasons why not to do it, and a quick search proves that some of the members here have sufficient knowledge of chemistry.
However, I too love Jolly Ranchers! Anyone have a recipe like that? BTW, Watermelon....

As has been said, the sugar would really gunk up your coil(s) quick. But that's just the start of the issues you face.
I've been making my juices for 2 1/2 years now and did a fair bit of research on ingredient safety. I don't use anything that is unknown to me. All food flavorings are considered safe to eat, but none of them have actually been tested for vaping. Things like PG and VG are very very likely just fine. Nicotine has been smoked for hundreds of years and is not known to cause any problems. The highest risk is believed to come from inhaling unknown substances and food flavorings.
There is no telling what is in jolly ranchers in the way of flavorings, organic substances and other chemicals. I use only vapable flavorings and even some of those on the market can be a bit questionable.
Bottom line, if you care about your health do not vape anything unless you you have a really good idea of what it is and feel it's safe to inhale.
I ran across this one a while ago on the forum:There are some really good reasons why not to do it, and a quick search proves that some of the members here have sufficient knowledge of chemistry.

Simple but amazing....Watermelon Recipe | E-Cigarette Forum
That tastes pretty darn close to a Jolly Rancher IMO with some steeping (I let mine sit for about two weeks minimum).
I rather like this one... Apple, though, not Watermelon.There are some really good reasons why not to do it, and a quick search proves that some of the members here have sufficient knowledge of chemistry.

Sugar, more sugar, and some more sugar.... your wick will last about 4 seconds and burnt sugar is gross...
no need to waste good candy
get some real flavorants designed for vaping... besides it will cost less the the bag of JR's..

This is beyond a bad idea. Know that the substance you are inhaling is safe to inhale, not just assuming so based on the fact that the substance is safe for eating.

We know no such thing. We suspect but do not yet know. Time and research will tell. We are in a way lab rats.
Perhaps my phrasing was too strong. I would stick with flavorings that have some history of use to flavors ejuice, rather than zero history.
