Grind them up, slip in one of those tea bag or the silver steepy thingy and steep in a thing of PG... then you will have a natural flavour concentrate

Never have, best bet, email them, ask for the ingredients anything that is not just PG or water based, avoid!

Some custard flavours have diacetyl in it... those are to be avoided at all costs. Deffo email and ask. Fine to eat, but not to vape

For the vanilla, the best thing to do is to slit the pods up the middle. You can then steep them in PG (and filter) use a bag or a strainer. It's one of the easiest things to steep but takes quite some time. If the pods came vacuum packed in liquid, taste the liquid. If there's any sweetness at all discard the liquid and wash the pods thoroughly before you steep as there'll be a sugar involved and it is a bad thing to have in any vape on several levels - and will make itself known by caramelizing on your atomizer. If there's no sweetness but a bland vanilla taste - you can include the liquid in the steep.
On the liquid - I don't know it - I have seen it but not investigated. I have used both Nielsen Massey's coffee and vanilla extract and both are fine - water, alcohol and coffee or vanilla extract. Good flavours; I use them with non aqueous VG at about 20% of final mix volume - I mix non aqueous VG with PG nicotine base and the flavour extract thins it down. If I remember correctly the Nielsen Masseys are about 25% flavour extract so if you added 2ml to a 8ml of whatever concentrate base mix you'd get 5% flavour some water and alcohol. I wouldn't recommend this in a PG only mix it would be too thin.

Diacetyl can be produced as a by product in extracting anything from dairy products. So any flavour with butter or cream anywhere in their name can also be suspect. Diacetyl is also now believed to contribute to an enhanced likelihood of getting Alzheimers.

Cheers Bryan. I have asked them the question. How the hell do we know that some liquids on the market dont already contain this?

You have to trust the vendors who make/sell flavours that when they say, it doesn't have diacetyl in it, that it doesn't. Otherwise, the only way to know is by having them tested or only using juice that has been tested by ECITA.
