Can I use vaping flavors to make my flavor water/drink?

Elites · May 12, 2016

This might be a silly idea but is this safe to use our vaping (DIY) flavors to make refreshing drinks? A friend of mine asked me 'Can he use these flavors in his coffee/milk'? 'Sometime kids don't drink milk so can we use these flavors (which we use for vaping) to add some taste'?

I am vaping from the last one year but honesty I am not sure about this so thought let's ask our VU family?

Please let me know your thoughts, advices, warning and/or ideas. Thanks so much.

No! Stick with Kool Aid!

I asked Mt Baker.
They said not recommended, PG very hard on the gut.

nightshard · May 12, 2016

Don't see why not since those flavors were made initially for the food industry.

AmandaD · May 12, 2016

Absolutely you can As said above, flavoring was originally made for the food industry, and is still sold as such. A good way to use up flavors you aren't using too

Elites · May 12, 2016

I am wasn't 100% sure that's why I asked also, it's matter of a beloved friend. Thanks any Ideas what to make and ratio please just an idea. Thanks for your responses.

If by "flavors" you mean the DIY Flavor Concentrates used to make ejuices, then yes, you can add those to foods/drinks, although I'm not sure how alot of the flavors we vape would taste in milk.
Just don't go mixing ejuice into milk or whatever, because then you will have bad consequences (drinking nicotine, no matter how little, can cause illness).

NOOOOO, according to the FDA, your kids might become addicted to drinking milk, thus leading to vaping, then cigarettes.

Seriously, IMO, there's nothing wrong about using the flavors in foods/drinks.

nightshard · May 12, 2016

Those flavors that are just sitting there because they don't taste exactly the way you expected or that are just plain nasty in vaping, could be great in water or milk.

I like the idea, So now I can pour some of the flavor in my coffee as well :bingo:

You forgot that drinking water may cause an addiction to liquids.

Add some FA Coffee to your American coffee, you might end up with some real coffee, cos anything is possible

try any Creams in your coffe. Irish cream is good....hazelnut, amaretto, vanilla, any nuts...list seems endless. These flavors were initially make for food. US GRADE A --its safe

Thanks for great ideas, Waoooo never thought of these ideas definitely will try. What about some fruit flavors or custard ( I love Custard) any ideas?

I think any flavors they have at Starbucks are fair game! But custard in coffee would be....different LOL

I didn't say only in coffee

I was thinking how to use custard flavor in somewhere :tigercat:

? all ideas are most welcome

Well, in baking of course. Or perhaps in milk as a milkshake?

nightshard · May 12, 2016

Custard in hot chocolate or menthol/mint

Elites · May 12, 2016

I make my own homemade ice cream so I think I can use in that too. Thanks for the great ideas love these

That's a load of horseshit. People have been swallowing nicotine for a couple hundred years or more.

This is very interesting, any idea of ratios? doesn't it dilute/ faint the flavor (on fire)? Thanks for sharing your ideas

Don't want to sound like a dick, but that's precisely why I used the word "can" and not the word "will". And just because it doesn't usually happen or happen to you, doesn't mean it can't happen to others. It was a blanket statement for everyones health and safety, what they choose to do after that is entirely up to them.

Time · May 12, 2016

It just depends on the recipe. I think I used a couple teaspoons of flavor. No, the heat didn't effect it but the flavoring was added last.

Agree with your comments (regardless of side effects

)

but not sure about our DIY ejuice can be use same as chewing /swallowing tobacco/nicotine? of course I will not recommend to my friend.

LOL. Vaping nicotine "can" make you sick. There ya go, a blanket statement for everyones health and safety. I think we're on the same page now.

I put nicotine in the candy I made with TFA. It's fine to ingest by any route, the amount(too much) is what may cause one to feel a bit ill.

To be honest I have never tried it outside of coffee, but like anything that goes at the VU...it is all about one's perspective, and individual tastes of your palate. With that in mind....strawberry, banana, chocolate are fair game for milk. Basically you would have to test your hypothosis, taste your results, keep track of notes and build from there....ummmm...that sounds alot like DIYing lol. Have fun :vino:

All of the flavorings we use (from the major houses) are created and sold in bulk volumes for use by ex: bakery product mfgs and confectioners (candy makers). They're safe for ingestion in reasonable amounts. Honestly... it's inhalation that's the question mark.

I'm just not sure it's economical with the prices we pay for our small bottles.
I tried to make a White Russian once when I didn't have any real Kahlua.
The amount of flavor I used seemed like it would be costlier than the real thing.

Then again... I can't claim to have a very discerning palate so I'm not against trying again.

I agree with you it's not always economical but before I wasn't sure can we use our vaping flavors for other purposes? i.e. make flavor water/Drinks or even mixing in milk etc etc but now we have at least idea what to do with our small bottle of flavors which we didn't like or for some change :bingo:

Thanks for the reply

I was referring to food we digest on a daily matter, e.g. Eggplants, Potatoes, etc. They all contain Nicotine, although in the Nanno Grams, it's still Nicotine being absorbed, and nobody gives a damn about that!

Cagey75 · May 26, 2016

of course you can. You ingest baking and candy flavorings, and they contain much the same ingredients, even more so, baking flavorings often contain oils. So while they are not suitable for vaping, the other way around is just fine.

Can I use vaping flavors to make my flavor water/drink?
