Missing a few flavors i wanted that they were out of, and they are out of all their Nic base, so i'll pick that up somewhere else. Other then that hows that look for a start at diy? Any tobacco flavors anyone would recommend?
How's this look for a start?

Looks good! I'd add more 1ml and 3ml syringes though. You have EM on there, you might want to go for some TFA Sweetener too. It's sucralose. This is just my opinion of course but for tobaccos I'd go with vaping Zone super concentrates or Hangsen. That's Wizard right? They have FA stuff...Ozone is a light tobacco, it's good with fruits. They have the Seedmans stuff that some people like too.
Yes wizardlabs! i got a few 2.5ml syringes for filling my cartotanks that i figured i could use as well. I didn't see the sweetner, i'll look again! Thanks for the ozone, i'll add that for my applewood!
Found the sweetener, didnt see ozone tho. Added Tobacco Type Flavor Concentrate (TFA) - Sweetener Flavor Concentrate (TFA) - 555 Type DK Tobacco Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
ne of the few tfa flavors I like alot
Looks great! I personally would ditch the pipettes. I use 1 mil syringes for the flavors. And I'd throw in a larger gauge for the VG...it's thick! The 16 should get it done but 14 won't but I think mines is 18 or 20g. You've got a good list of flavors to start but I'm sure like most of us you'll add more really soon. Lol! Keep it posted on your DIY adventure!
oh...I'd add some lemon & vanilla. They're great for smoothing or rounding out a flavor that's just not quite right. I tiny bit goes a long way

I'll second the nod for more 1ml syringes. I only have 3 and wish I'd gotten more. (I will on my next order.)
Yeah, I'd vote for more 1,3,5 ml syringes. When I'm mixing, I'll use a syringe and then toss it in water to start soaking. Makes it a lot easier to keep track of where you are. Most of the action is the above syringes during sample creation. I usually go with a 5ml mix. You burn through syringes quick though if you're doing several mixes at the same time. What size are you planning on mixing for when you hit a recipe? I don't really see provision for more than 10 ml or more than a couple flavors at the same time. That might just suck if you have to let that mix steep for a week...
I'll be mixing 3-5ml for creation purposes then upping to 30-50ml once a recipe is dialed in. I do have to purchase some nic still, so i can add more syringes etc to that order.
Well, I personally think in terms of how many syringes I need for a 5ml sample. I don't mind cleaning them between recipes but I like to flow through a recipe.
So what quantities would you need for RWhy4? OK, 8-10% DRY4 = .4-.5 ml = 1 syringe, 4% Bavarian cream = 1 syringe, 4% caramel candy = 1 syringe. I personally mix the base on each recipe, so let's say I want a 60/40 VG/PG. I use 100% VG nic, so one syringe for nic, then I need to put in the balance of the VG, 1 syringe, balance of PG = 2 ml, = 1 3 ml syringe. Overall, 5 1 ml and 1 3 ml syringe to mix one sample. And that's for what most would consider a 3 ingredient mix. That's my mixing method, I find it easier than stopping five times to clean a needle.
Personally I also use four different gauges of needles. Personal pref, I like to find my needle in a pile of syringes fast by color.

RY4 Double, Caramel Candy and Vanilla Swirl is one of my fave DIY mixes- just made another batch. I love RY4 Double- I ordered 3 on my first order- glad I did!
Some folks have said they don't like TFA butterscotch, but I have 2 recipes with it I like enough to keep in my daily rotation. I've only made one mix with RY1, but it's a success and I think it's probably an easy tobacco flavor to work with. I use French vanilla and toasted marshmallow fairly often, too. I have coconut candy because coconut extra was out of stock.
I wanted to try 555, banana nut bread, cinnamon danish, watermelon, Bavarian cream and a few others, but they were out of stock when I made my order.
As for equipment, just get 14G needles- VG is hard to draw with them, 16G would be even harder. The smaller the needle size, the larger the needle- a 14G needle is absolutely huge compared to a 20G needle. I'd ditch the pipettes and beaker, and I haven't found a need yet for a graduated cylinder, either. I'd also dispense with the 3ml bottles- get a few more larger ones. You can mix small amounts in 10 ml bottles, but not so much the other way around- and 3 ml bottles are tiny! What I use most as I'm only mixing either 6ml or 10 ml bottles for now, is a 10ml syringe with 14G needle for VG and PG, and 1 ml syringes (no needle-I got mine from another source and they have a slip tip rather than luer lock) for flavorings.
You might as well order enough to make the limit for free shipping ($65 IIRC), since you're close to that anyway.
