I began DIY mixing because I like doing everything myself. Same reason I started modding. Same reason I brew beer. Same reason I only cook from scratch. I love doing things from scratch as much as possible. Naturally, I started mixing, and so far I have used flavorings from a couple of sources, but I only really liked the LorAnn flavorings. So I mixed my own flavors with (for the most part) 50% 36mg flavorless nicotine, 30% flavorless VG and 20% flavorings. There might be a few where I went higher (like Cola and Strawbery) but mostly I stuck to the 50/30/20 rule to get 18mg strengths. Now these are the juices I mixed, so these reviews are really reviews for LorAnn flavorings.
Cinnamon Roll - ** 2 stars
I can taste a vague cinnamon flavor, but have no idea why they call it cinnamon roll. I don't recommend buying the cinnamon roll flavor.
Cola - **** 4 stars
I really enjoy vaping cola, and this LorAnn cola flavoring is pretty good. It requires extra drops or it is too weak, but other than that I generally vape some cola every day. I also use Cola as an addition to other mixes when they need to be "brightened up" as I like to call it. I don't know why but Cola is a really nice addition in small amounts to 555 and RY4 tobacco flavors.
Watermelon - **** 4 stars
It isn't the perfect watermelon flavor or anything, but it is a nice fruity flavor and smell. I vape watermelon a lot and recommend it.
Orange Cream - ***** 5 stars
I really think this has a taste of a creamsicle. It is another almost daily vape flavor for me and if you have been thinking about trying it, I say go for it.
Strawberry - *** stars
This actually is a fairly nice flavor, but it is SO weak. I enjoy strawberry, but in order to enjoy it I have to drip it and even then I have to do a bridgeless drip to get a strong enough flavor out of it. When I do bridgeless drip though, it is real nice. If I could 3.7v the flavor that nice when I was out and about (I don't drip when out of the house) I would have given it a better rating.
Vanilla - **** 4 stars
Vanilla is an old standard flavor extract. It would be pretty difficult to not make a good vanilla flavoring. I give it 4 stars because it tastes like imitation vanilla to me and not pure vanilla extract though. I do enjoy it, and it makes a nice mixer too!
Chocolate - **** 4 stars
I hear so many people complain about chocolate, and I know why now. It is a weak flavor most of the time. In fact, a week ago I would have said not to bother trying chocolate, but I will now say don't bother trying chocolate unless you have a 5v+ mod. Then I would say if you drip bridgeless, then chocolate is great! If you actually want to try a chocolate vape and TASTE it quite well, then you will need to mod up and bridge out.
Pineapple - ***** 5 stars
I love the LorAnn pineapple. I think I would say this is probably my current favorite vape flavor. It needs nothing added. It needs no extra drops. It tastes just like pineapple to me. I think I probably vape pineapple more than almost any other flavor than my own "Salem Witch Brew".
Now, these juices are my own creation, and I am a strange sonofasumpinoranudda.. So I don't know if anyone else will like these as much as me.
Salem Witch Brew - ***** 5 stars
Equal amounts of 555, Vanilla, Cola, Watermelon and Strawberry all 18mg juices
Mark's Fruit SLap - ***** 5 stars
Equal amounts of 18mg Strawberry, Watermelon, Pineapple and Cola
Now on some days I am just a vaping chimney, and I don't want to flood myself with nicotine on these days when I just can NOT put my PV down, so when I realize I am overdoing it I vape with this nice 0mg mixer..

Cola, Pineapple and Vanilla. All 0mg and I don't know why, but this is a fantastic flavor mix. I keep thinking about mixing an 18mg version, but I am afraid if I do, then I will stop coming to this 0mg vape when I feel I need it.
So there you go, my review for, I guess my own flavors, but really, it is a review of the juices you can make with the LorAnn Flavors. I will be ordering a lot more flavors from them very soon. I might try Capella's as well, but I need to hear from some customers first who can tell me if they are better than LorAnn or not or if they are just LorAnn in another bottle, which I was given from my cousin in the UK. He sent me these supposed small kitchen flavorings he found (he is a baker like me) and said I would love them and not find them anywhere. Well, these were LorAnn flavors in a different bottle as far as I could tell. I mean they smell and taste exactly the same. So if I am going to use LorAnn I may as well USE LorAnn. Anyone think Capella's is better?
