I'm about to receive my initial order of gear and flavors for DIY. I have a few completed flavors in mind but it's hard to find recipes that use my exact flavors. I will experiment, of course, but i need a decent flavor or two to get me through the experimentation process.

These are the flavors i'm starting out with..

Cinnamon (TFA)
Coffee Clear (TFA)
Ripe Strawberry (TFA)
Coconut Extra (TFA)
Mint Candy (TFA)
Spearmint (TFA)
Pineapple (Hangsen)
Cinnamon Red Hots (Signature)
Lemonade (LO)
Cheesecake (LO)
Sweet Strawberry (CA)
Organic Caramel Cream (NF)

Sweetener (TFA)
Super Sour (WL)
Hypnotic Mist (FA)

Some completed flavors i had in mind..

Hypnotic Mist: From what i've read i'm thinking about 50/50 base and 8-10% of this flavoring, no sweetener.

Basic Pineapple: 50/50 base and 5-10% flavor, sweetener?

Caramel Coffee: 70/30 base and no idea on how much coffee/caramel, sweetener. Suggestions?

Menthol Cinnamon: 50/50 base, no idea on flavoring. Suggestions?

I want to do something with the Ripe Strawberry, will keep looking for recipes.

I appreciate any suggestions!

My suggestion is to mix 1 flavor at a time and taste each individual flavor so you get an idea on what your working with. After your fimilure with each individual flavor you will get an idea on what combinations may go good together. At that time it's up to you to start using your creativity. To ask for recipes when your just starting out I find usually results in disappointment because every one's taste is different. Also you should never try to clone a manafacture's juice when first starting out as that also will lead to fustration and disappointment.

You should read my blogs for some mixing insight

I second dannyv45. I was mixing pre-mixed store bought e-liquids to get the variety of flavors I needed before I started down the true DIY path. Now I mix up single flavors and combine those to get the variety. It's easier for me to get the balance for combined flavors if I have the "perfect for me" single flavor to begin with. I treat all of the super powerful flavors more like additives and only add one drop at a time. Also, if you already have perfect single flavors made up--you'll never be without something you can vape and you can experiment with combinations in tiny little batches without using tiny little math--I hate fractions.
