At minimum you will need syringes, 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, bottles to store your eliquid, I use just 30ml bottles. I buy all my stuff from eliquid express, including premixed eliquid at 50/50 pg/vg and 6mg nicotine. I have found its the easiest way to make your own eliquid buying the premixed base in lieu of mixing and cal culating pg/vg/ nic. Good luck.
So I can buy pre mixed pg vg? Do they only do 50/50 or can I get 70/30? Then just add Nic and concentrates?
Yes, it's quite easy. However, it can be quite dangerous, especially to young children and animals. Please read the stickied threads at the top of the DIY sub-forum before placing an order for DIY supplies.
You can buy pre-mixed PG/VG, but it's usually more cost-effective to order PG and VG separately and mix them yourself.
For testing recipes I use 5ml bottles. Then I tend to need to adjust, which is another 5ml bottle, then, finally a 30ml/50ml bottle. For the bottles I just went to Amazon. I bought in bags of 50. Some come from China, so it is a wait.
I wash my bottles, too. Just seems that I have a lot of test bottles going at once.
Good luck!

Just remember to start with small amounts of flavoring. To much and it can be ruined quick, and you can always add more if needed. I've learned that less is more and now I have juices I can actually vape. 
Iv seen some recipes where they say a % of diff flavours, is that a % of the whole? Or just of the amount of concentrate
Percents are based upon 100ml. Take 12% of flavor A.
You have a 5ml bottle. Divide the 100 by 20 to get 5. Also, divide the 12 by 20 and get .6ml
so now you have 12% from 100ml and that is 88% of base liquid. to get the 88 down to a portion of 5ml, divide it also by 20. That is 4.4.
You, with a syringe, put 4.4ml of base liquid into the 5ml bottle. Then put the .6ml of Flavor A in. they, together, equal 5ml.
Shake well and let steep as necessary.
It gets easy after a few tries.

And the 4.4ml will be vg pg and Nic? How would you figure out the 70/30 vg/pg and 6mg Nic?
