Does anyone know if its toxic to vape a tank after dyeing it with Rite?


Basically this step by step but a tank than a bike seat.

[HOW-TO] Dye your plastic parts (with pics)


im using a AV plastic tank and this looks like a cool easy way to dye cheap plastic tanks. Also a fun weekend product. I know it's not safe to ingest but I feel it's not the same as drinking it by having it on your vape tank. Completely different levels of exposure and should be safe..


what do you guys think?


And if all your going to put in is a smart comment like stop being so cheap and buy one already dyed please do not reply. I'm not asking if i should get another tank already dyed or not I'm asking if this would be safe or not. You can spend your money as you please and I shall mine thank you

Are you kidding me? Do you see anything on the Rite bottle that says it's FOOD GRADE??
NO WAY would I do this to something I'm putting in my body!!

If you are wanting to color the outside of a plastic tank, I would suggest getting some Mod Podge and maybe something like tissue paper, that you can glue to the OUTside of the tank, without adding anything to the INside of the tank.

I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea...... I downloaded the MSDS (material safety data sheet) from RIT and it's says....
"Route of Exposure Inhalation
Inhalation of the components of this product should not occur when the product is used according to instructions and with appropriate protective measures (see Section #8). If product is raised to boiling temperature, inhalation of mist may irritate the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract."

and "First Aid ‑ Inhalation
If signs and symptoms of irritation are observed, remove subject from area. Perform artificial respiration and/or seek medical attention if necessary."

You can find all their safety info here.... Safety Information | Rit Dye

I wonder if something like window tinting can be applied to the outside of tanks. I also thought about applying a stencil an brusing up the areas around the stencil making an etched effect. I also saw a marbeling on polycarbinate clearo using nail polish. I'm not sure what was used to get the swirly effect though.

Since you said Not to Make a Smart Comment about Being Cheap...

I'll just say, No. I Don't Think this is a very good idea.

:facepalm:
