I figured out how to use organic herbs and vodka! Just started on an arctic tank, and needed to cut my juice cost dramatically. For the nic I use 15 percent of 24 mill nic store bought juice. In other words 4 and a half drops for 30 mills of USP VG. Giving me 3 mills of nic. The flavor of the 24 mill juice barely comes through, but compliments the organic spearmint that I made with vodka by soaking the spearmint in vodka for 4 hours. Then straining it twice, and then putting it in a jar and placing the jar in a pot with lightly boiling water. After an hour or so the vodka vaporizer away and the small bit of residue flavored 30 mills of my 3 mill nic juice. The cost for 30 mills of sub ohming at 40 watts is now, Less than 3 bucks!!! Halalewya!!! Anyone else done this? Just had to share this interesting vape story. LIVE TO VAPE - VAPE TO LIVE
I was going to spend $15 a day on juice untill?

Just trace amounts if any. The only juice I buy online or brick and mortar, are the ones tested for the bad stuff. It may not be bad at all? But I'm too old to take the chance lmao. I know what's in my VG is natural and no Diketones. What most don't realize is that a lot of juice flavors are still extracted with alcahol. It's easy to evaporate it off, but takes a bit of time and love. The love part is easy for me, cause I LOVE TO VAPE.
I do an easy cheat DIY that is ultra cheap 
I buy 250ml triple flavor eliquid at 18mg/ml for about $40.00 and cut it with PG/VG to 3mg/ml so my final cost for 30ml is around 10 cents.

Have you thought about visiting ECF - E-liquid DIY Forums?
Simpler/Safer solutions.
I often do 100ml batches of e-liquids for under $3
Check the DIY subforum. You can DIY your own e-juice real cheap and you can pick and choose your ingredients. Several of the most used of flavoring brands have tested their flavorings, like TFA, so you can search through and find ingredients without diketones.
Also, FYI, when you're extracting from a plant you're extracting more than just the flavor. Many organic flavorings or e-juices made with organic flavors I've seen have a warning for possible diketones. Not saying that's what's on your spearmint, but you're extracting oils/some plant matter in there. I'm not sure how efficient the straining is, so no way to know what's in it without a test.
I make my own juice like many people here and use flavors from TFA. it cost me $0.60 (60 cents) to make 30ml of 50/50 PG/VG 6ml nicotine juice with 10% flavoring. I vape at 10 watts and use 30-40 ml per week
spearmint oil is an inhalation hazard and should not be use in e-juice and you are right alcohol extraction does remove oil as well as flavor from the leaves
What works great for straining is a tea bag wrapper. Much better than a coffee filter. I strain the vodka 4 times before I evaporate it away leaving the spearmint flavor. I know a lot of brands are getting their organic flavor this way. I'm using store bought tobacco flavor that's not bad and cheap, to get the 3 mills of nic I need to sub ohm cheaply. I can't put this flavor down! It is crazy good.
Wow that is pretty neat never knew that was a thing. I do DYI and it costs me about 20 bucks a month or right in that neighborhood. Right at about 5 cents per milliliter which includes shipping costs for the supplies. I suggest you check out the DYI section here and see all the options available to you. I am impressed by what you have done so far its pretty cool
