Um if you are talking about adding a few drops to a premade flavor, yes you probably can. I might test that out with less of the "flavor" than the entire bottle, in case it grosses you out. I've amended storebought juices from time to time, the results were usually okay (not always).
If you are talking about one flavor shots (stand alone flavors) you can probably mix those with the right amount of nic base, PG and VG) to make a "full" one shot flavor, but you do actually need flavors designed that way for use. The good thing about many is that you can often shake and vape.
If you just have single flavors, then you'll need to either start mixing and steeping those to get a sense of how they function and/or follow a recipe (doesn't have to be exact, but can be a good starting point) so that you'll have some DIY options to try.
Where is the confusion coming from?

Someone reported your post for you.
Moved to DIY E-Liquid from General E-Liquid Discussion
Could you post one of the recipes that needs a boost? Would help us give you suggestions.
Hi every one. Thankyou your for your responces! Let me clarify. I have many half used bottles of many fruit/candy type flavors that are lacking a nice full flavor. I have ordered from Mt Baker what they call "flavor shots". They are simply a condensed mixture of any given flavor where you just ad a drop or three to your tank. twirl and mix, then vape. What I am in search of is the flavor to base ratio. As I understand it, a normal mixture for straight vaping is, say 5% to 15% flavor to base. I just thought maybe someone else has tried this and could save me a bunch of time on my journey. Any ways, you guys and gals are all awesome!

There is no set percentage of how much to use across the board. Each individual flavor or one shot are different. Tedious but necessary homework is needed to diy. List what you have or used the Flavor List on ELR recipes site to get a starting point.
If they are indeed one shots and shake and vape, you can just start small depending on how much "pop" you think you might need. I might start at 2%, seems a reasonable starting point, since your juice is already flavored. Or even 1% as it should be easy to add more (I have found in my flavoring adventures that "add more" is infinitely easier than "dilute down."
Starting out that way should give you a good sense of what is being "added" and also because everyone tastes flavors differently, so if you start low and work your way up, you will eventually reach that "good flavor" point for you. Once you have a sense of how much flavor you need, you may then be able to add a bit more for some of your later mixes (with the caveat that depending on the flavor or manufacturer, things may be slightly different.
I wish I had a less "tedious" answer and could just say "Well ,5% across the board!" but flavoring just doesn't work that way. Letitia gave you some good options for "starting point" on flavors, but keep in mind most of what you read about your flavors may "help" determine a starting point, but when you are adding to already flavored juices I'm afraid some "sure bets" are off, etc.
