lorann butter sweet dough/princess cake bakery emulsion-safe to vape?

[clyde2801]

Was in my local hobby lobby when I say the above two lorann products. I did a search on the forum and on the lorann links listing flavors, but I couldn't find anything about the these two 'bakery emulsion' products.

Their ingredients are as follows:

water, propylene glycol, natural and artificial flavors, xanthan gum, caramel color.

Would these be good go to go, or would they contain an ingredient(s) that would mess up my plans?

Thanks in advance, and if I missed something that already on the forum, my apologies.

Probably not a good idea. From Wikipedia:

Xanthan gum is a "highly efficient laxative", according to a study that fed 15g/day for 10 days to 18 normal volunteers.[4] Some people react to much smaller amounts of xanthan gum, with symptoms of intestinal gripes and ........; there are no studies yet investigating whether this is allergy or not.

Evaluation of workers exposed to xanthan gum dust found evidence that respiratory symptoms were associated with exposure to xanthan gum dust.[5]

Since xanthan gum is sometimes produced by a bacterium that is fed corn to grow, some people allergic to corn may also react to it[citation needed]. Yellow Phrygian Husk is a common source of the bacterium from which xanthan gum is created.[6] However, some xanthan gum is not corn-derived.

xanthan gum is also used as a thickener, similar to corn starch. It would make your liquid VERY thick and probably clog up your atty.

I've used the sweet dough emulsion from Loranns for baking (the aroma is very tasty), but I wouldn't put it in juice. The xanthan gum definitely worries me in terms of inhalation risk (like many additives, we don't know what it could do to lungs - and Hellen's post makes it clear that is a risk). It's also very thick stuff because of the xanthan gum, it's probably not good at all for the atomizer.

What Helen and Madame Psycho said. Any gums or gelatins are a definite no no for vaping. If they don't mess up your lungs they will surely mess up your atty. And they will likely mess up your lungs. These are essentially pre-polymer materials designed to bind together into a rubber-like material. This will happen in your lungs.

Plenty of great safe flavors out there. Don't vape this.
