Why is some ejuice blue?

[U_wot_m8]

Okay, so as far as I can tell, most eliquids have a tendency to be clear, yellow-ish or amber in color, often depending on nicotine content.

However, I just got some juice which is blue in color and I'm fascinated by this. I've seen a few ejuices that are blue but this doesn't seem to be as common.
What does eliquid like this contain that gives it a blue coloring normally?

Food coloring.

Isn't food coloring bad for your lungs if inhaled?

There are differing opinions on the subject. Some say yes, some say no, some have no idea. Don't know how much research has been done on the subject and how much is anecdotal and just opinion. As far as eliquid and vaping.

There was a time that Cuttwood (I believe) put titanium dioxide in their Unicorn Milk to give it that pearlescent color. That was definitely bad, so they stopped doing it.

As far as liquid food coloring you'll hear both yay and nay.

If it makes you feel a certain kind of way then definitely don't buy/vape it!

I myself DIY an Absinthe eliquid that I put green in. I've been vaping mad Murdock's Radiator Pluid and my own creation/homage of it for over a year. I'll be the Guinea Pig. LOL!

I just try to avoid it, less uncertainty haha

Some of my juices are blue, because they're stuck in a drawer; never to be vaped again.

Absolutely! I agree! For me my absinthe juice just wouldn't look good white! It looks like... Well you know... LOL!!!

(Anise flavor turns milky/cloudy when mixed/shaken)

Yeah, in your case, keep the food coloring...

Seems to me putting food coloring into commercial ejuice is an unethical practice. It's an attempt to boost sales by making the product flashier-looking than the competition, but at an unknown risk to users' health.

That cavalier attitude tells you something about the producer. If he is willing to ignore questions about the safety of food coloring, what else is he willing to ignore? I'd steer clear.

What producer and what questions are being ignored? The OP didn't ask the vendor why his juice was blue.

Unless I'm missing something here.

What you reference here about little being known about the effect of food coloring, those are the questions I am talking about.

As for producers, I mean any producer that would put food coloring into their ejuice and try to sell it. I would never buy from that guy.
