Hi and Welcome to ECF :)

You will find a lot of information over in the DIY E-Liquid section here. For now, it will be a read only section until you get in five posts.

The short version of the answer to your question is that those flavors are made for candy and baking, many may contain oils and ingredients that are definitely not so good to be inhaled and most of them taste pretty bad from what other DIYers have experimented with.

Hi

In most cases you can't. The flavor concentration level is too low, the alcohol level is too high, sweeteners used in food flavorings can crud things up and ruin coils quickly, and there is stuff in many of them you don't want to be vaping - like any of them that include oil based flavorings. A few flavoring companies make a food line and a vaping line for good reasons. McCormick wouldn't be one of those companies.

so there is flavors thats u cant vape?

There are flavorings that are harmful to you or your gear. There are also flavors that are just not conducive to a pleasant vaping experience. Flavorings with sugars, alcohols, oils etc...
There is information out there on how to make your own natural flavorings, how to reduce and concentrate them for vape flavoring... I tried a few, decided it was just too much work for me... LOL

Question, why can't you use regular store flavors that you can buy at the locale grocery store, or can you. I want to make my own e-juice and want to know if you can do this our not. If not why. Can anyone help please and thanks.

There may be some you can but you have to know what you're doing to figure it out. I've been doing DIY a while and don't try. Flavorings we know work are easy to come by. Mount Baker sells a ton. LorAnn can be bought in any number of places (Amazon included). Wizard Labs is my main source for just about everything DIY.

Well, except sweetener. I use liquid stevia and that I do buy at the grocery.

Easiest place to go to get started is Mount Baker. They have plain nic to order (nic level, PG/VG ratio), tons of flavors, bottles, caps, you name it. Once you get experience, you can branch out to the more sophisticated stuff but MBV is a good starting point.
