I'm looking for a new supplier for my DIY flavoring. I get my Nic, VG, PG and hardware from Liquid Barn, but they're really limited on the extracts they offer. I have a sales tax ID so I can buy wholesale. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Or, could I go to hobby lobby and get the LorAnn candy flavors and use them?

If that's all you use, no - you'll be totally disappointed with LorAnn. Most of us use TFA, Flavor Art, Capella, Inawera!
This - there are some people that use some LorAnn flavors, but be careful because some LA extracts contain oils, something you definitely want to avoid. For small scale mixers I recommend Bull City Vapor or E-Cig Express, if you're buying in bulk Nicotine River is the way to go...

Not all. There are flavors I've had to toss out after a year. It depends on the flavoring!
Thank you everyone for your suggestions so far. I can't keep flavors long. I vape like a chimney lol. I also make juice for my friends and family, so most of my flavors are gone in 6mo for 15ml bottles. I'm limited on cost, so I can't do the $100-$150 min orders. I don't sell because I don't make mine in a lab or anything. Just at home. Unless shop will buy them?
Who's cheaper? I just looked at FTA and the main page shows ones for $1.99
One of the other things about some of those store bought flavors (besides the fact that some contain oil) is that some contain food coloring. 
Not to derail the thread, but does anyone know the best way to extend the shelf life of the flavorings? Is it merely keep in a cool, dark place, is it keep in the fridge, or should flavors that are seldom used be put in the freezer?
I've seen some people say that flavorings shouldn't be put in freezer, or even fridge, but have heard the opposite as well.

Thanks. It does. Appreciate it
Back to the subject of flavors - over all, my preference is Flavor Art, though TFA has some good profiles as well, and for some flavors I like TFA's version better (each has their own spin on flavors; e.g. each company's strawberry is completely different). Inawera has some flavor profiles that you won't find anything from other companies that's even remotely similar to them.
Yeah, i know they're around $21 per 30ml around here. I can make my concentrates last quite a while. But with all that i have in my shopping cart, I can fill all the requests for juice from people I know lolWelcome to DIY
Don't worry, it may feel like your going broke, but by the time you've used all that flavoring you will have saved well over 10x the money you would have spent buying liquid.

Good! That means you're getting the hang of it...
