Depending on the VG/PG mix and how hard you have shaken it, I've seen the air bubbles in some of my DIY make it almost a white froth. This goes away in a day or less.

When I make 50/50, I shake the stuff so that it knows it has been shaken. +1 on Wingsfan, it does make it cloudy with air bubbles.
Plus if you stored it in the fridge the VG and PG don't integrate very well until it warms. Since I do refrigerator store, I shake both cold and again when it gets warm. That non-mixing shows as a "cracked crystal" look that can seem cloudy as well. Combine the two and it looks like broken safety glass.
If you check in an hour or two, you should see the bottom clarifying a bit (but it can take a whole day for the tiniest bubbles to leave the solution).

I had a cherry flavor from FW and it was cloudy when mixed. I'm assuming they are oil based flavors. It will probably clear up when it's left alone for a while. Just remember to shake well before you use it.
Lorann's cinnamon will make a 50/50 base cloudy. It doesn't like vg very much. try 75pg/25 pg (it worked for me).
Maybe its the cinnamon? All the various ones I've tried have gunked up my coils pretty quickly, could be the sediment that's making it look cloudy? I had a juice look cloudy when I used a certain cocoa flavoring, there was so much sediment in there it separated from the base and clung to the bottom of the bottle before I shook it.
Sometimes two flavors can interact though it may not be the case and this will happen. I have a bottle of LA Royal Raspberry that looks like a Pina Colada which is supposed to be clear. It was clear last night when I used it last but apparently some residue from another flavor triggered a reaction. Not a huge deal but this is one reason you should never mix from large bottles.
