The angel food cake requires a lot of diluting, roughly a 1/3 of flavoring and the rest as PG or VG. Otherwise it will be very strong.
I agree about the added sweetener. I just refuse to pay flavorshack prices when I can usually find the source of most flavors.
To get a bit more insightful on the whole flavoring biz (if you have a bit of chemistry background) I would recommend subscribing to P&F (perfumer & flavorist).
I use a few additional âenhancersâ for some of my more popular mixes, like methylthio-2-methylpyrazine (instead of acetyl pyrazine), it gives a better âbakedâ taste to my bakery mixes and doesnât have that âfritosâ smell or that awful aftertaste some notice.
Iâm pretty sure many of the âbigâ juice makers tinker with the flavorings as I do, thatâs how it becomes such a undertaking to replicate some of their juices. Thereâs always one ânoteâ thatâs missing. Finding it can be almost impossible, unless you happen to have access to a mass spectrometer. No, I donât have one, but if anyone wants to shareâŚ

@juice_junkie_lover, it varies, depending on the minimum quantity the will sell (some will only sell by the drum) but a couple of my favorites are Natural Advantage (www.NatAdv.com
Plus they send free samples!) and Treatt (www.treatt.com).
Some require waivers and an F.I.N. but some will sell to the public. Best advice is to call them for samples. I wouldnât bring the issue of vaping with them, mainly because theyâre trying to keep their distance from such a hot button issue (one reason that the vaping industry wasnât included in this yearâs Flavorcon 
) , but you can ask info like, âwhat emissions are emitted from this compound when heated above its boiling point?â usually it will be part of the MSDS youâll receive, since many of their products are used in the food and beverage industries.
To get the full list of suppliers visit the perfumer & flavorist Web page. Pay attention to what the company offers. Some only offer perfume scents. Look up CAS # before you order.
@Leilani, yes thatâs them. Subscriptions are free, so it doesnât cost anything but a little time trying to understand the industry.

I wasnât too impressed by Pound Cake(DIYFS), but Holy Vanilla and Gooey Butter Cake are worth the $$ in my book. I might have to get some Blueberry Muffin a go with my next orderâŚ

Holy Po Po is a strawberry doughnut. I mixed this @ 7% in a mix, with some Sb milk (OSDIY) SB cheesecake ((WF) Bavarian cream (wf) and snv I can taste the actual doughnut. Soft doughy inside with âcrispâ edges. I think the might be great after 5-10 days.
Mr. Good Stuff, which I believe thereâs a v2 of that now is a nice airy, fluffy, dairy, whipped cream and caramel. Iâve been vaping solo at 10% and in a coffee mix at 2%.
