I'm looking to begin making DIY juices, and searched the DIY e-liquid forum, and I couldn't find a real solid list of suppliers for organic ingredients, so if any of you DIY gods out there have an opinion on the best Organic suppliers that carry flavors, VG, or Nicotene, and also any pros/cons of using organics in DIY, please share! Thanks ECF!

Also the link for natural vs. unnatural flavors that was in there is down, anyone have an updated link?
Organic Flavors | Flavors
Which is the likely source for the "Organic" lines listed in http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/352146-compiled-list-pg-free-flavorings-vendors-who-sell-them.html
And if you want to read the chemicals they are trying to process out of a blueberry to make blueberry flavoring, you can look at James' site. Ingredients of All-Natural Blueberries | James Kennedy
I've never seen organic nicotine. Not sure how after all the chemical processing to extract one chemical out of a plant that the origin of the fertilizer makes much of a difference. I know when I bedded tobacco we did it in fermented chicken droppings and that farm never used pesticides so we had some monster tobacco moths. I can still feel the burn of that fermented chicken crap in my head even though that was many decades ago. I know there are still tobacco farmers who use the old, now called organic, ways, but I don't know if any of them are suppliers to the nicotine extraction labs.
The only organic VG I've seen is NOW brand. It's not USP (pharma grade), but it is food grade. Usually available in health food stores.
