I have some cool looking food colors and was wanting to know if using some in my E-juice would hurt?
Food coloring, is it ok to use in DIY E-juice?

Short answer... the less you put in your juice the better. Food colouring is not a requirement and is never recommended.
Do you know if it would hurt? The only ingredients is: PG, water, color and propylparaben. Not sure if it's safe or if people do it and it's ok.

About PROPYLPARABEN: Propylparaben is in the paraben family of preservatives used by the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care product industries. Parabens mimic estrogen and can act as potential hormone (endocrine) system disruptors.
Not something I'd care to inhale. I avoid all flavorings that contain any food coloring at all.

Why do you wish to colour your juice it would do nothing to the flavour?

It wouldn't produce a colored vapor, right? Other than that, I see no reason to even consider it.
Actually, I think that the vapor would be colored. I recall something from a few years ago where folks were coloring their ejuice to get colored vapor. I would not do it and avoid flavors with coloring.
Ok, I'm way too old to say it....but it sounds cool. If there was no question on the risks I might try it. As is, my goal is to get away from the extra chemicals, not add.
Exactly! It was weird. Everyone was saying it was cool back then but I had no interest. The less I add to my juice, the better that I feel about it.
Not that I'm recommending, it but colored juice would "look" cool in a glass tank. What about the natural color found in fruits, like in pomegranates, cherries, blackberries, etc? Pluid is a very good juice, and not cheap, but it is a cool green. I see that some of the gourmet organic/ natural juices have pinkish, reddish tones. There must be some organic/natural food colorings?
We don't even have a clue of what if any, harm the flavoring itself will do. Why risk the inhaltion of colors if we do not have to?
Just about everything you put in your mouth that is processed has some sort of artificial color or flavors why would you want to add to it. If you really want to add color use Beet juice, Annatto or Turmeric a least those are natural and heck you never know they might make a hole new flavor experience. LOL!
First time for everything (and last time). I had some grape flavored ejuice in a tank. The juice itself was pretty clear and colorless, and I got the bright idea to add some purple food coloring (water based), thinking it would look cool in the tank. Well, the coloring actually tuned the juice green, obviously unexpected. To top it all off, it ruined the polyfill in the cartomizer.
FAIL !!

No coloring will turn your vapor "colors". Vapor is white, because light is reflected in each of the microscopic water droplets as full-spectrum (white) light. The only way to turn vapor to a color would be to blow it at a colored light.
I see no reason to add coloring to nicquid, except to distinguish flavors. Then again, labels do a pretty good job of that around my neck-o-da-woods.

All that and I think coloring is the 1st to go foul and ruin your juice anyways....and prett fast too.
I had some raspberry from flavourart I think (lil glass bottle,very much dark red stuff) that turned my juice dark pink (ah the glamour) but would taste foul after only a couple weeks.

No point really. Better to keep it as simple as possible. Would you rather drink pure water or colored water?
I believe you meant Lorans. Flavour Art doesn't come in little glass bottles.
