First-time DIY'er's checklist - What am I missing? Or also should get?

[Cool_K]

Hey guys! Just about ready to take the dip into DIY. I've done a bit of sampling and so far prefer non-menthol tobacco flavors. Prefer 80/20, 12 mg nic.
Here's what I got:

Mixing supplies:

- 60 ml of 60 mg PG Nic
- 250 ml PG
- 250 ml VG
- (5) 30 ml glass dropper bottle
- Various sized syringes, blunt tip needles, pipettes, graduated cylinders, nitrile gloves, small plastic bottles
- $25 ultrasonic jewelry cleaner

Ingredients:

- 4 ml Ethyl Maltol 10% solution
- 5 ml MTS Vapor Wizard
- 3 ml Bitter Wizard
- 4 ml Acetyl Pyrazine 5% PG
- 4 ml Smooth

- TFA: RY4 Double (15 ml), RY4 Asian (4), M Type (4), Caramel (4), Bavarian Cream (4), Honey (4), Vanilla (4), Peanut Butter (4) and a few non-tobacco flavors

Will start mixing 3 ml quantities. Much appreciated!

Looks like you covered things pretty well. You might want to get some tobacco Absolute and some honey and vanilla concentrates. You'll be all set with the basics.

Always try to get at least 8-10ml. Minimum per flavor unless you really aren't sure..white chocolate,sweetner,cinnamon Danish, pie crust, strawberry, blackberry,magic mask, vanilla butternut, tobacco absolute,double clear chocolate tfa,
Yellow cake flavor from flavor west only,and from seedmans tob506D commercial concentrate, maybe their captain black flavoring..
And a good peanut butter the one I have is capellas and have yet to find a better one, but that is my taste. I did recently order a pb from tfa that I am going to try, and get some acetyl pyrazine 5% from tfa.. I would Reccomend also "smooth" from tfa as well as Jamaican rhum from flavour arts..and the last 2 ,, marshmallow and toasted Marshmallow from tfa..

And if you have a tractor supply close get ya a gallon of pg for about $20 or so..it is USP grade and a gallon has lasted me a good long time..

Great stuff! I'm not into my tobaccos too sweet. Or chocolate, coffee, or fruity flavors really. Will need to order some more pre-mixed samples as well.
I currently have about 75ml pre-mixed RY4 and I vape 2-2.5ml a day so I'm good for a little time. Just want to start small.

No tractor supply by me being in NYC. I guess I can always order bulk from WL, essentialsdepot, etc. later when I find my ADV.

Ok narrowed it down to those I use a lot in tobacco..

Looks like a good setup. The only suggestion I would add is a dripper like the IGO-L (or something similiar if you don't have one. When i fist got started, I found myself a couple weeks in with a bunch of small bottles mixed up. I needed to test vape them to see how they were after steeping. I found it difficult to use my regular addy and then have to take it apart and clean, over and over.

I'll look into that dripper although I'm ok with cleaning out attys right now. Sure it might a waste of juice.
