What flavors do you have? It's a bit hard to recommend a recipe without knowing what you have.
With that said, I started out by tasting a lot of juices to figure out what juice types I liked, and then started with single mix flavors that I combined in my tank, which gave me a sense of what *I* would like in combining flavors and in that manner, I was able to proceed to 2 or 3 flavor mixes, often combined with the (tiniest bit) of sweetener. I am pleased that I've only made two unvapable things ('JOY" forget who makes it but it's vile... Like kind of this clove-y taste which I hate) and an orange creamsicle mistakenly believing that I might make a palatable mix even though I don't like citrus flavors. I was wrong, and I tried adding a LOT of different things. LOL.
So you can certainly start with single flavor mixes and for me it was a much slower start up as I really had to "build" my recipes as it were, but for me the approach had merit, meaning that I fully understand what goes with what, for me. Fairly easy for me to build from there. So nothing wrong with mixing up simple flavors and flavor-makers will often give "recommended" flavoring percentages for a single flavor mix, although you don't have to start there but I'm not sure I'd start out above it. If you'd like recipe suggestions that are more complex than that, you need to post your flavors.
Best of luck,
Anna

Here is a thread that might help - Recipes for Dummies
Personally I would suggest you google e liquid recipes and find the site ELR then signup, enter your flavors you have into your 'stash' there then click the 'what can I make' button and sort by stars/rating.

I think you may be able to get away with something more simple than that, honestly, depending on what you have. I'll say it one more time: it would be really helpful to post your flavors and maybe the recipe you are shooting for? It may well be possible to simplify it, or to change it slightly. It's not really possible to help you if you don't post what flavors you have (by which makers.)
This may not guarantee a successful experience, but it will greatly increase the likelihood of one.
Just-- flavor name and maker, and I'm sure you'll either get pointed to a recipe that will work, or will get some suggestions of things to try.

I’m sorry.
I got;
Strawberry Ripe TFA
Cheesecake Crust TFA
Honeydew Melon FA
Chocolate CAP
Vanilla Custard TFA
Okay, if you want to vape something a little more swiftly, berries usually don't require as much steeping time, but if you want something creamier/more custardy you could try combing it with Vanilla custard and cheesecake crust for a Strawberry Cheese cake? IDK. I can't really give specific percentages, but I'd say a bit less of the strawberry and Cheescake crust with more of the vanilla custard? (Maybe in total around 7--10% max, to start, until you see how your tastebuds react.
Or, chocolate and vanilla custard to make a chocolate milk? That could work. Again, under flavor a bit, and if you can't taste much 48 hrs or so in, perhaps add a bit more? (I find it easier to add flavoring than remove it). Again, target approx. 10% maybe.
Those are a few initial thoughts, they aren't recipes and you can get more complicated, but given what you have, those two honestly sound easiest to combine. You may wind up needing a hint of sweetener or you may not. I didn't start with sweetener but I do find that using a HINT of it in my mixes usually improves them.
I am sure other folks will have more suggestions and ideas. Good luck,

Just posted this for another new mixer. Mix each flavor as a stand alone, dial in the % to suit your tastes. Then you can experiment by mixing compatible stand alone's together at varying %'s.
It's best if the first batch is a confidence builder. Mix up some unflavored and use it to cut some of your favorite pre mix 50/50. If it still tastes good (it probably will) cut it again 50/50, get used to the more muted flavor and I bet it will still taste good. Now your $10 bottle of pre mix only cost about $2.50.
if I had those, I'd start with:
Strawberry Ripe: 8%
Cheesecake Crust: 6%
Vanilla Custard: 4%
I normally start with 10ml "samples". I use 10ml cause I can do the math in my head. lol. give it a really good shake and test it. I haven't messed around with vanilla's or custards in a while, so you might have to tweek the numbers.
