The ONLY reason I could see mixing in gallon batch sizes is if you are planning on selling (or have a LOT of vaping friends and you are feeling super generous!). And you would want (perhaps even more) to be sure you have a winning recipe that not only you like but your potential clientele does too.
Another issue you need to consider with volume mixing that I don't recall being mentioned yet is some flavors, and notes found within certain flavors, fade/disappear over time! Leave it sitting around too long and/or store it improperly and at minimum, it is going to taste weaker/different, and at worst it will become unvapable. Not exactly the way to get return customers. Just saying...

Your plan seems reasonable here Emma. You vape about four 30 ml bottles a week. I would select a quantity to mix based on how often you wish to mix; weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly for instance, and try to be consistent in that regard. 250 ml (about a cup US measure) seems like a good compromise. Perhaps mix flavoring a bit light to begin with knowing it will fill out somewhat over the time period, and fill 30's from the 250. If juice gets too strong you will have room in the 250 bottle to dilute from gallon jug.
Recipes can age quite differently. Until or unless you know for sure how one will taste in a month would err on side of caution and avoid mixing too much at once. Figuring out how much dilution a recipe needs can be more trouble than mixing a fresh batch and starting with known commodity. JMHO.
Yet more issues with volume mixing: shaking a bottle will not be a safe way to mix it, you need a blender or blending apparatus. Steeping, when necessary, takes longer on large batches -- do you want to make 2 months worth but have to wait 3 months to use it?
It's OK of course to find out how much flavoring to buy, but 2/3 of the flavors I bought I'll never use again. I rarely use over 8%, may favorite creations are <3% (2.6 + .25%) and <1% (.8 + .125 + .03), but one does use about 25%.
One appropriate recommendation for new DIYers is to find some recipes you want to try and then get flavorings only for them. I would add a few single flavors that sound promising.

A gallon = 3785ml or 3.785 liters. That's a lot of juice. A gallon would be almost 8 months at 120ml per week. A liter would be over two months of juice.
Still, I'd start small and expand the recipe once I knew it was good to vape. As McLintock said, you can't shake those quantities to mix without more expensive equipment, like a magnetic stirrer.

Yep, smoke is particles of combustion. Vapor is a process of heating a water based solution to create steam. There's a major difference. We don't want the public to associate vaping with the word "smoke". Some of the uninformed public already think there's no difference in vaping and smoking.

Wow! (a gallon) In testing recipes, I only do 5ml; pretty much a tank full so I can try it throughout the day. My mouth tends to change a good bit from the awakening morning breath to the changes via food and drink. Sometimes I do another 5ml with changes or I go to 10ml if I think the changes are minor. Generally, after that it is 30 or 50ml and annotate the recipe as final. A gallon! (gasp!)
