Hi, ΩyGod! Welcome to ECF!
Susan, in the post above, gave the best advice. Stay away from LorAnn or MacCormick flavorings, they're horrible in e-liquid!!!
She left out FlavorWest.com; I have several flavors from them that are really good.

I just found the Flavor West DIY flavor review thread. I'll add it to my database.
Thanks twgbonehead!
Welcome Ohm
When you get a few more posts in, you can start asking more specific questions in the DIY section. I've been mixing for about 5-6 months now. It's awesome. My very first batch of flavors was a 10-pack of LorAnn that I ordered from Amazon (which actually have been quite good for me.... The blueberry and the NY Cheesecake were my favorites!) However, now, I'm leaning more toward The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) and I have been getting those from Wizard Labs.
Susan gave you some great links (as always, thank you dear!) Read the blogs by Hoosier, Dannyv45, and Bill's Magic Vapor for some amazing tips and tricks. Bill's very generous with his recipes, but he tends to use mostly TFA flavorings. Make note, a blueberry, for example, from TFA is going to be slightly different than from LorAnn, which will be different from Capella (CAP) which will be different from Flavor West (FW), etc. And, the percentages that are recommended are merely starting points for the specific flavorings. You may want higher or lower based on your personal preferences.
Start with small batches and realize that some flavors need complements in order to really shine. You don't necessarily know that the secondary flavoring is there, but it could very well be needed in order to enhance the primary flavor.
DON'T GIVE UP! It may be frustrating at first, but you'll eventually get the hang of it, and it will open a whole new world for you!

Actually LorAnn flavorings which are PG and alcohol based are excellent in e-liquids, so there's no point in mocking them if you have used oil-based flavorings from LorAnn, personally LorAnn is the only flavoring I use anymore due to they being most 'realistic' flavorings I have personally used. Cherry flavoring tastes like cherry, not something weird. If you know what you are doing, they are no worse than others and are way more potent/concentrated than other flavorings as you only need to use them as 2-5% concentration compared to 10-30% in other flavorings
Thanks everyone for your input!! I will take all of it into consideration. I will say I am pretty pleased with the lorann flavors except the chocolate ( just tastes bad) and the Bavarian creme is disappointingly weak. Lemon and lime are good just extra strong.
