question about supermarket flavourings

[Thrasher]

not really, as most of the flavors we buy are concentrates and these sound like standard flavorings.

Well my initial base liquid order is 50ml of 50/50 and I am going to initially trial with 5ml of each flavour and then 5ml of a strawberry and vanilla mix so then after the new year I will still have at least 30ml of base left to use with concentrated flavour the company I am getting my base from only has about 15 flavours (12 10ml concentrates and 3 4ml super concentrates) which they use for their juices but can I order it without postage cost within 24-48 hours FLAVOURS CONCENTRATES and even though they only list either VG or PG then can prepare different ratios of base liquid.
The range of flavours from them are a little disappointing but saves on postage for initial trials but I suppose some can be combined to produce extra flavours for example Cherry Cola, Cherry Red Bull, Choco Mocha (espresso and chocolate), Chocolate Orange, so choices can vary for the remaining 30ml of base liquid

Yeah I have already read that supermarket flavourings will require more drops then concentrated flavouring and when I have checked the ingredients they are just Water, Ethanol and flavouring. I did notice some that have either Rapeseed, Sunflower and or essential oils which I avoided.
Is there a way of reducing the water/ethanol to prevent too much of a watery outcome?

The vanilla flavouring I picked up states Water, Ethanol and Extract of Vanilla, the other 2 is Water, Ethanol and flavouring

I would think that a higher vg ratio would take care of the thinning issue.

I have been thinking today whilst looking around at forums that I find 24mg VG to strong, 18mg VG about right, 11mg 50/50 ok.

If I was to mix 11mg 50/50 with 24mg 50/50 would my base liquid result be approx 16% give or take mixed at a ratio of 1:1 before flavourings?

Also another question on the same ratio 1:1 but substituting 24mg 50/50 with VG would my end result be approx 75/25 VG/PG or visa-versa?

I ask the 2nd question because I have a small hunch that the PG content might be aggravating my seasonal bugs as I have been finding it a little hard to get rid on my nasal congestion since being on 50/50
