Does anyone know an e-liquid that is free of any or all of these chemicals? 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, 2-Acetyl Pyrazine, Methyl cyclopentenolone hydrate, Ethyl maltol. The current e-liquid I have does not specify the concentration of these chemicals, and I am the type of person that needs to know what goes into my body... I am prepared to make a little bit of a sacrifice to my health to take up this hobby but as it now stands, I want to make sure that I have the 'most non-harmful' alternative out there.

You should probably vape unflavored liquid. The chemicals you listed are flavorings.
2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine: Common Applications caramel, chocolate, coffee, nut, corn, popcorn, potato
2-Acetyl Pyrazine: roasted, nutty, bready; corn chips (enhancer); graham cracker (enhancer)
Methyl cyclopentenolone hydrate: caramel, sweet, maple, licorice, nutty
Ethyl maltol: sweetener (cotton candy)
You may want to stop eating any processed foods as well, since when a label says "contains natural and artificial flavors" it's full of ingredients with scary sounding names. These aren't harmful "chemicals" they are the names of flavor and scent molecules that have been isolated. A bite of raw coconut doesn't taste very coconuty, but a Mounds Bar does. Why? Because a Mounds Bar has coconut flavoring in it. Coconut flavoring is Massoia Lactone, derived from the bark of the Massoia tree. Who knows why it tastes more like coconut than "real" coconut, but it does. Did you ever imagine that quitting smoking would involve learning about chemistry?
And while you explore the chemical names of common flavors, don't forget to drink lots of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Well I recognize the first two as food flavorings. The easiest answer to your question is to suggest vaping unflavored ejuice. I vape it a lot now but I've been vaping for over 2.5 years and gradually used flavors less out of personal taste preference. You might also look into making your own juice and finding out the chemical composition of flavors you want to add. The DIY section of the forum might be able to help with that.
The other suggestion is that you email vendors whose juice interests you and ask them if they use those flavor chemicals.

Assuming that you are a former smoker, you probably weren't too concerned about the over 4,000 chemicals you were putting into your body then, so why worry now??? 
LOL!!
But seriously... you might check into some of the vendors selling organic flavored juices...

being organic doesn't change the chemical composition of the flavoring.

That's quite true. I wrote a long Rawr (my version of a rant) about where the flavors in "US made" e-liquids come from. This is an edited version that was posted on another thread. My lecture continues on page 2, where the thread comes to a grinding halt.

good post.
i have always said mixing e-juice is more control of the process as with very few exceptions
the ingredients are all the same.

I just came across this thread and thought the OP might like to check the vendor out...

Does anyone know the typical percent of water in e liquids? Are we exhaling mostly water vapor?
