All a lab really does is keep things sterile. The rest is up to the artist. It is possible if you know what your doing. Everyone started at home.

It just takes time and experimenting with flavors.I went from simple single flavor mixes to making more complex desserts and fruit blends and also extracting Tobaccos and making unique blends with those as well.
Every mixer has to start from the bottom and keep at it
You will make some that are just so so while others will be great.Time effort and patience will pay off in the end .

Since I started DIY I have only bought from one vendor and will only by from that one .Best part of DIY is learning that you can make juice just as good or better than premium vendors 
With time young grasshoppa anything is possible.... Took me about a year and a half DIYing before I could say for sure that my juices are just as good or better than vendor juices.
Yep you sure can. I have been DIY for longer than most of the shops so I should be able to by now. Actually it didn't take that long to get it down. I use water soluble flavoring only that is really a good start right there.
Unless they have access to flavors you don't have access to there is no reason you cant DIY.
But it takes time, patience and the investment to master mixing which is not for everyone. Some flavors can be frustrating as you come close but can't nail it. But with time and good buds you can pick out most of what's in almost any juice. Also knowing how certain flavors react with others is important because what you mix today may taste different next week.

I love Gambit so the 5 pawns site says: "...All flavors are organic and we use only the finest ingredients sourced domestically and locally. All liquid is made in the state of California. Our liquid blends are comprised of 50% VG / 50% PG. Our flavors are extracted from actual base ingredients and we offer 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg and 24mg nicotine levels..."
Please help me understand this issue. Exactly which vendor with the url will sell me "exstractions from actual base ingredients" ??
I probably have 75 flavors from the usual sources like TFA, Hangsen, LorAnn etc and enjoy the DIY journey a great deal. However, I have a VERY hard time believing that these boutique high end juice vendors perform their own fruit, cake, etc extractions. The economy of scale just doesn't compute for me but I could be wrong and have been in the past. I'm NOT referring to NET or vanilla beans in particular.

You most certainly can I've made several. I'm vaping one right now and the only problem I'm having with it is I can't stop vaping it long enough to think of a name to give it

They are probably using FLAVOR WEST. Which are high end water soluble flavorings, you can download their MSDS (material Safety Data Sheets) here if you are interested. I have been using their flavorings for about 5 years now and can't say enough about them.

Sounds suspiciously similar to a thread started about a week ago or so.
To answer your question: Yes.

Well it seem there are alot of people who can make top shelf juices here. So if i may ask what are the things i need to do to, or what are the things that distinguish a real top shelf juice from the typical juices.
Be real picky about everything. Never say, "good enough", when going for a certain taste. Realize that every experiment that tastes wrong is the best teacher.
There are some DIY blogs that can help a smarter person then me shortcut some of the learning curve.

NIce change from the many who seem to constantly post how cheap and inferior FW flavorings are.
Full disclosure , I also use FW but also TFA .
Read and much as you can in this forum, especially the stickies.
okay, I don't know how to make juice....but I know food and I know cooking.The first commandment of good cooking is
Thou shall use the freshest and highest quality ingredients that you can obtain,,,by hook or by crook.
That being said. could you please tell me what are the highest quaility extractions to be had....flavor west is one.
What is the highest quality vg , the one with the most discreet taste. I notice some vendors have a base liquid that is down right revolting. for instance virgin vapers their base liquid is very strong flavored.
what is the highest quality pg or is there much difference.
what can i use for a sweetner that is not artifical sucrlose is right out
what is the importance and the right schedule for steeping a juice...a month 3 weeks.
