Hi all can some one who has some experience help me out please.
I would like to know if natural extracts , like vanilla orange, lemon etc can be used to make juice ?

Extracts usually contain oils so no. Check the label and essentially:

Oils = NO in any shape or form
MPG, Mono Propylene Glycol, PG or VG base = OK
Ethanol, Ethyl alcohol, Alcohol = OK with caution if you are happy to use alcohol based flavourings

You want as few ingredients listed in a flavouring as possible to be sure, if it says PG and flavouring that is ideal, even if it names an E ingredient they are easy to check.

Avoid things like emulsifiers or lechithins as they are often a sign than the ingredients would split without them - ie oil and water. The same goes with gelling agents or stabilisers where stabilisers stop them splitting and gelling agents would be unsuitable for wicking anyway.

Thanks for the pointers there. I shall keep researching and checking
