I haven't tried it Marg. I would think it would be if you could get the measurements right. I've thought about it just because cheesecake flavor sounds REALLLLY good and I don't think any of my suppliers sell it. But I think it would be beneficial to the pocket book. Do you vape Nic? I know you can get 36 mg flavorless Nic juice at electroniccigarettesofhouston.com Free shipping and then just cut it to what you need.
I mix most of mine. There are a few flavors that I just can't seem to get right that I buy but most of them I mix myself. For me, yes it's worth it. It costs a little bit to get started, you have to buy flavorings, bottles, things like that, but I really enjoy doing it. It seems to relax me.
It really is fun. Start small. When I'm trying something new I only mix 1ml at a time that way if I get something really nasty I dont feel to bad about throwing it out.
I haven't as much success as I would have liked so far but I'm not giving up. I don't like the Lorann flavorings so I'm currently waiting for some Capella drops. Hopefully that will make it here soon.
Here's another tip for you in case you decide to try it. Start with a small amount of vg/pg and add one drop flavoring at a time. Don't bother putting any nic into the mix until you vape it and decide whether or not you like that flavor. If you decided to trash it, at least you didn't waste your expensive nic juice.

Marg - your welcome! and as far as PG and VG goes, I think it's just what your preference is. Some people use both, most one or the other since they usually either like one better or have reactions to the one they don't use. I don't think I've tried VG, but PG hasn't given me any problems. 
I like Bickfords. I buy coffee in 16 oz bottles. I buy hazelnut in 8oz. The rest I buy in the 1 oz. Chocolate mint and caramel are other favorites.
Has anyone tried the new Johnson Creek's flavors? I see on this forum a lot of people are not liking them. sigh. I was really loving the Tennessee Cured. That was prob the last straw for me to start DIY'ing the juice. lol
I have bought some Bickford's, but haven't opened them yet. Are they really a bit weaker than Lorann's, as I've read? If so, what percentage are you using, if you don't mind saying? Think I'll be trying them this weekend.
I personally prefer VG but I'll use PG in the mix too sometimes because VG is very thick. VG is great for vapor. Most people prefer PG I believe. Try them both, you can always mix them.
I've tried 2 of JC's new juices. I have Chocolate Truffle & French Vanilla..
The chocolate is good if you like a deep dark chocolate. It's not a sweet chocolate, more on the bitter side. I vape it straight & mixed with peanut butter its pretty tasty.
The French Vanilla..ugh, I'm going to mix it with other flavors to use it up but using it straight is not good. It taste exactly like vanilla extract to me. I won't be buying this one again. I made sure to let JC know I hated it.

Some of them are very strong too. I don't think you can say exactly how much flavoring. Each flavor is different. I use very little caramel and chocolate mint because they are so strong. I use a lot of the coffee and hazelnut because they aren't. Each flavor has its own characteristics.
You use Lorann's by the drop! Bickfords you can vape without diluting. I diluted mine with P.G. though. I also add the flavoring to my store bought ones when they get low I add P.G. to fill up the bottle and also add some glycerin to each one for the extra vapor! V.G. and Glycerin are the same in most cases.
Whatever you do don't buy the Bickfords Plum! That stuff tastes like shampoo.
I haven't tried capella yet. Somebody let me know how it tastes.

I just started mixing my own by getting Juicy Liquid's Juice packs. Now I've ordered some Loranns and Capellas, side benefit of that being all the yummies I can use them in. I also ordered some VG because I tend to vape pretty much all the time, but most of the time it's 0 nic, and the pg makes my throat hurt after an hour or so. I'm hoping plain VG will fix that issue.
BTW I tried to respond to this last night on my phone, but apparently while I can read the forums on there I, it won't post...oh well.

I have Lorann's, but have been considering Capella...because they have soooo many flavors I would like to try. Does it take a lot more of Capellas flavorings for mixes (more than Loranns)? Also, do any of you just stick to one or two flavors, or do you just keep trying new ones to keep from getting bored?
I don't mix but my two main vapes are RY4 and 555. Every once in a while I'll venture out with some of the fruit flavored samples I have.
