Duncan Hines Frosting Creations?

[boardopboy]

Cruising WalMart today looking for LorAnns (They never have it and I am left with Watkins, grr...) I noticed little pouches of some new Duncan Hines thing called Duncan Hines Frosting Creations. Basically it's a small envelope of flavoring powder that you mix into "blank" frosting. They have a HUGE variety of flavors, Orange Cremesicle, Cotton Candy, Apple Pie, Chocolate Marshmallow and on and on and on...

Here you can find a video (that I can't embed) on how it works.

Looking at the ingredients on the package, there didn't seem to be anything innocuous... sugars, artificial flavorings, some colorings...

These pouches are dirt cheap too, $0.87. I did NOT buy any, but here comes my question(s)... Is there anything about these that would be wrong or dangerous to mix into a base liquid and go nuts with? Has anyone tried them? Do they show promise, or should run from them like we would run from an ex-lover?

I wanna try them, but being new to this... I thought I'd ask the experts first! Thanks!

Sugars will probably gunk up your coils faster than you can say "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast". Colouring is another thing you'll want to avoid vaping.

Those were my biggest concerns. The sugars I can live with. But the coloring is always something to be leery about.

Yea, food colouring isn't particularly healthy to even eat, many are known carcinogens and have other unpleasant effects.

I'm not sure what happens when you vape dissolved sugars, but it seems to generally be avoided 'round here.

I'd run from them just because of the food colorings, though. I'd imagine that they are heavily colored, which is something I dislike about the food industry, in general.

You can get an 8 oz bottle of flavoring from Wizard Labs and some of the other suppliers for around $1.50. Cheaper if they're running a sale. Savings isn't all that huge to risk it.

LOVE Wizard Labs. On my last order they sent me a ml of Mt Dew. I would NEVER consider ordering anything remotely like Mt Dew... but man if it wasn't great and is now in heavy rotation! I like that they helped me find a new flavor!

There are a bunch of good people at WL. They always take care to add something new to my order, that surprisingly I order the next time
