Hello! I've recently gotten into rebuildables, and I want to make my own juice.

I am going to make all VG juices, I'm getting into cloud chasing primarily

What can and can't be used? I have a ton of stuff around the house including

Peppermint oil
Flavor extracts
Essential oils (hell if it would work, it'd be very interesting to see what flavor I'd get)

But what can and cannot be used in making juices?

EDIT!

Turns out I have Cherry Flavoring Extract.

It is just flavoring and PG, and a small amount of water, thats it. Can I use it purely?

I put 2 drop of it into a bottle of peach juice I have already (I always mix cherry and peach, my favorite fruit combo) It tasted great, seems to be vaping great, and is working out quite well.

Go over to the DIY Forums and do some reading. You may have a couple of food flavorings in your house that you can use, but do your homework first. Remember, you are inhaling this stuff directly into your lungs. Safety first in all things.

NO essential oils and most say no oils. The Perfumer's Apprentice sells flavorings for ecigarette liquids and has some good info on its site. Start in the forums here and read and ask questions.

I agree... NO oils, period. For one, they will clog carto... also may cause upper lung pneumonia. I'd only use VG/VG/water based stuffs and one more thing, a lot of the 'over the counter' flavors have a pretty concentrated amount of alcohol to carry the flavor so, you'd need to let it evaporate since in vaping the PG (and other things for those sensitive to PG) is what's carrying the flavor instead of the alcohol so I've heard and read. Good luck.. :)
