I keep reading the same brands over and over again, and except for a very limited number of flavors from lorAnn, I don't see any natural flavoring. Are there any recommend suppliers of natural flavorings?

Well, "artificial" flavors are actually "natural" flavor molecules just recreated synthetically under much HIGHER quality control than "naturally extracted" flavors. Its therefore somewhat ill advised to vape naturally extracted flavors unless you know what its exact contents are, which is rarely known with a natural flavor (naturally extracted) because theres no regulation of those flavorings production like there is of an artificially produced nature-identical flavor.
With that said, simply look for "essential oils", any essential oil is, essentially (hah) a "natural flavor" per the definition I believe your meaning, which is more accurately defined as "naturally extracted" flavor verse "artificially manufactured nature-identical flavorings".
Many will say its ill advised to be vaping essential oils or any naturally extracted flavor, as again you don't know the entire spectrum of ingredients nor is the entire spectrum of ingredients necessarily GRAS listed, but that never stopped me from vaping dozens.
Arm yourself with the facts and make your own decision

Thanks. I'm finding natural flavors taste, well, more natural. I believe that artificial flavors are sometimes lacking some of the subtle tones the flavor chemist does not expect you to be able to detect, but like MP3 VS higher quality standards, the difference is obvious.
I guess I'd be happy with a really well done and very natural tasting artificial flavor (complete with attention to aromas).

My understanding of essential oils is they need to be diluted with pure grain alcohol, is that correct?
I'm probably better off starting with artificial flavors for now and seeing how that goes.

Lorann has a "natural" line. Some are diluted in ethanol, but most are in VG or VG and water. Have not tried them, and as nanovapor said, if they are whole food extractions, they will possibly contain large biomolecules or poly-sugars, which would not be good to inhale or for your atty.
Todd at vaperite.com sells natural organic flavorings. They are probably repackaged Nature's Flavors in smaller amounts (can get them from Nature's Flavors, of course). They are more expensive, but do not contain PG, which I like. His juices are very good in general, especially the kona cream and caramel cream, so you might pick up a couple juices to see how they are. Again, I do not know the process, but I have vaped the two I mention, and they are clear and I detected no issues with attys, so I am guessing they are pure flavors in organic VG with a bit of water to thin. Highly recommended!!

Yes, I really like Vaperite but they are expensive. I have not tried the Kona, but I really like the banana nut bread and the blueberry pancake.
Thanks!
Then again, you really have to order large quantities from Nature's Flavors to make it worth while. Todd's prices really aren't bad at all, and are actually better than buying direct unless you order by the gallon.
