How are you guys measuring drop counts? I don't have anything that measure exactly 1ml... I have 5ml syringes, but with the way the plunger is shaped/the tip/and the needle, how do you accurately measure out 1ml (just for drops purposes)?
Drops measurements?

If you are measuring how many drops it takes to equal 1ml, you wouldn't want to drip until you got to 1ml anyway. I've counted drops to make 3ml, in a graduated cylinder, then divided the result by 3.
I only use drops for butterfly fart amounts typically though. Most flavorings are measured out with 1ml/cc syringes that have marks every 0.02ml. The thin barrels and the luer tip allow them to go into flavoring bottles with very narrow necks and do the job for me pretty well.

no one around here will sell syringes of any kind without a prescription...
Wizard Labs sells them:
If you doing DIY, I would strongly suggest you at least buy a 10ml Glass Graduated Cylinder. Having a 10ml and 30ml is nice. But a 10ml is must to me.
Not having one is kinda like trying to build something in your garage Without a Tape Measure.

Well I got myself all glass bottles with the same slow droppers ... It takes 5 seconds or so before the first drop and then 2 seconds per other drop ... I stopped using syringes. I just fill up a cylinder up to 10ml and add my drops. I do have precision syringes at home, but when I am testing out stuff ... I never use a syringe : drop -> shake -> test -> repeat cycle if needed.
Let's say you have made 10ml and have created an uber juice ... You need 3 drop of A,
2 drops of B, 2 drops of C. Now you want to make 30 ml ... so you would say 9 - 4 - 4 ... This might not always be correct, since some flavoring might be more dominant if you use more of it. But in general it works out. Now using drops might not work on very smal test batches when your flavoring is highly concentrated. But if you need less then a drop, you measurements will need to be precise also. I certainly am not the DIY expert, but this is the way how I do it, and it works for me. That's the most important
For certain stuff you will only need like 1 drop 5ml/10ml, like for instance I do use vape wizard, but for me 1 drop in 10ml is enough. I never measured the 1 drop .. It's just 1 drop
Now for the fun of it. I did test 2-3 different flavormakers from my dropper bottles and let it drop in a 2ml syringe, to test how many drops I would have needed for 1 ml. And they all evened out at the same number of drops
