I'm thinking, as early as this weekend, about ordering some supplies, flavors, PG, VG, all that good stuff. But reading thru some of the posts I see a lot of abbreviations. I don't suppose there is a post anywhere for me to figure out all these abv is there? Mostly I was seeing a lot of abv is the recipe sections.

TFA= The Flavor Apprentice, FA= Flavour Art, ecx=ecigexpress, WL=Wizard Labs, Cap=Capella, NN=Nude Nicotine, Han=Hangsen there is more but those are pretty common. I'm sure somebody else will chime in.
There is a sticky or post somewhere, but I couldn't find it to link it for ya, as I am on my phone at the moment. HTH!!(hope this helps)

EM=Ethyl Maltol (aka cotton candy flavoring)
AP= Acetylpyrazine (adds nuttiness to flavors - used in tobaccos and nut mixes)
ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar*
DW = Distilled Water
LJ = Lemon juice*
PGA = Pure Grain Alcohol
VG = Vegetable Glycerin
PG = Propylene Glycol
UC = Ultrasonic Cleaner**
CP = Crock Pot**

* - people seem to be using these less due to flavor muting or leaving mixes flat tasting after a couple weeks
** - used as steeping methods by some

Welcome to the fun, wacky and fascinating world of DIY! It helped me to take lots of notes!
