I add VG then the flavouring (PG base), give it a good shake then add nic (VG) followed by PG. No idea why, think I just read somewhere once that way worked and stuck by it. Tried a few different ways and never really noticed much difference.
Do you add your pg & vg first or your flavors first?

I make 30/70 PG/VG juices with VG Nic & PG Flavoring. So for me it's Nic, PG, Flavoring, shake, VG, shake... 
I like to mix my flavor(s) with the PG then spin them for a few minutes with my mixer, add the VG and let mix as fast as the stirbar spins without being thrown. Let the air bubbles dissipate overnight then add the nic and mix slower speed. I usually mix 100ml batches of my tobacs and 200ml of my wife's juice at a time. Now that its cold outside and my basement has cooled I heat up the VG a bit with hot water to spin easier in the mixer.
As it makes no difference I start with the PG then the flavor(s) and next the Nicotine and top off the beaker with the VG because I fill to the line of which amount I am making. Mix well!

It really makes no difference in which way you put your ingredients in. It's totally up to you.
I actually do it the same way as sofarsogood does: Nicotine, Flavor, PG, VG.
I use a syringe for measuring the Nicotine, flavor and PG (2 different sizes.. large ones as I make 250ml to 500ml batches and later use my mixes in 120ml bottles).

I do not use a syringe for the PG because the largest syringe I have is 5ML and even making High VG the volume required for a 60ML bottle is larger. Plus to dispense into a graduated cylinder if much easier for me.
I usually go in the following order: flavor, nic, pg and vg last. Yesterday I did the exact opposite. We will see if it makes a difference. Merry Holidays!

I've been using syringes but I bet a cylinder is easier to clean!

Do you prefer the beaker to syringes? Or is that what you have always used?
Merry Christmas right back at ya!

I try to have dedicated syringes for each flavor because even after washing them it seems I can still smell residual flavor. But I will probably end up ordering a cylinder (or 2) after reading all of your comments!

I agree it makes no difference at all in the outcome and/or taste. However, because of the way I make my eliquids...the only 2 things I have to measure are the flavorings and the nic. So for me, the order I add the various liquids does make a difference in the ease of making it. Other way I used to do it, I had to measure all the liquids.
I made myself a DIY magnetic mixer from YouTube. Computer fan, hardrive magnets, fan controller and a project box. Its been mixing my juices for almost 2 years now and does a good job. I have a pile of beakers but don't use them, just bought glass wire topped jars from the dollar store and mix then store in the same jar. I have little to nothing to cleanup but spent jars and mini funnels.
I add the nic to all bottles first so that I can close up that liter bottle of nic. The longer it stays open the more the chance it gets knocked over (even though it's up against the wall out of easy reach). That's just me. I get the volatile stuff done first and then the PG/VG and flavors.
As someone said, it all gets shaken at the end and mixing occurs, anyway.
It's time for me to break down my two liters into the 8oz and 4oz Boston Rounds bottles I ordered and get it in the freezer while it's still clear.

I use a Graduated Cylinder to measure up to 10 ML's and syringes between 1 & 5 ML's which I mix in a Beaker which also has graduated markings. Fill the beaker with the smaller mounts and add the VG last to the proper amount. I forget who's suggestion it was to add the VG last but it is much easier and one less item to clean. I also started with dedicated syringes but gave up on that washing works for me.
I use the Liquid Barn Mixer which only takes a few minutes and you are done.
I get paranoid with open bottles of nic too! So I also add nic first
