I'm with you, I have just read of some adding stevia extract to their flavors, but I don't know what they are putting in the flavor I don't really want to put it in my lungs.. They say essential oils are a no no.. One the points of getting off cigs is to stop putting chemicals in your body. I eat clean & Paleo. Coffee sounds good, maybe I can make a coffee stevia blend.. Then try mint tea, or other flavors of natural things boiled down strong. I got the glycerin from Walgreens and put an essential oil in it, but now they tell me that the oil is bad.. So time to start over...
I have been cutting back on nicotine and want to start using a nicotine free blend that I make my self.. I now need another vapor pipe so I can keep my nicotine fix handy till I Don't need it any more... Already regular cigs are starting to seem nasty to me.. The last time I tried one I threw it away after half.. Yuck. LOL.
I know this is a lot of information, but I hope it helps those looking at trying their hand at DIY. Keep in mind, This is just my own experience.
PG- Propylene Glycol : It is a colorless, nearly odorless, clear, viscous liquid with a faintly sweet taste,

VG-Vegetable Glycerin(Glycerol): In foods and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent and sweetener, and may
help preserve foods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol
PG and/or VG are both used as the base of the E-Liquid.
PG/VG can be purchased from most E-Liquid suppliers with or without Nicotine. Unflavored PG or VG with Nicotine can be purchased for the purpose of mixing your own liquids and can be purchased is many strengths.
PG/VG without Nicotine is necessary for mixing your own liquids.
Glycerin can also be purchased from most pharmacies-over the counter. Humco is one brand of Pharmacy Grade (USP) glycerin. It is sold as a skin protectant. It is a clear, slightly thick liquid and has a sweet taste to it.
There is also a Food grade VG- Wiltons- sold at Craft stores in the baking sections. Can sometimes be found at Walmart in the craft section.
The information will have to be put into a couple posts--The server doesn't like the long version....
