Here is a look at what I have started thus far....
[emoji709]
Looks organized! I'm embarrassed to show how I mix lol
I basically have a rolling 5-bin storage container, and wheel that into the kitchen whenever I do a mix. When I'm done, I have about 10+ flavoring bottles out, among a scale (invaluable), disposable pipets, and a marker for labeling directly on the bottle. I use my phone for the recipes.
I clear EVERYTHING off the table (I need a lot of room) and make sure my scale is calibrated. I'm curious to see other members setups though! I'll take a photo tonight as I need to make some more Strawberry Pie liquid I've been working on
You will need empty bottles, 1 ml syringe, 3-5 ml syringe and maybe a 10 ml for PG/VG. Paper towells.
Those are the very basics of equipment you will need. You can get graduated cylinders, beakers,etc too if you desire and a turkey baster type of syringe can be handy for PG/VG.

No need to be embarrassed! like I said : I am very new... I have a feeling my cute little set up just might not stay soo cute in another few weeks!
@Robert Cromwell
Many thanks on the run down of possible stock up!

Hi and welcome,
I use EJMU: eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator, a gram scale and some recycled bottle droppers.
Tips: take copious notes, label your mixes. more flavour can always be added, start low.
Cheers

If you also have an iPhone there are a few E liquid Calculators out there in the App Store. Take a look I used to use them years ago.@Izan
I JUST started on the note thing... I made an awesome concoction and of course I cannot replicate it...
I wish that I could use the EJMU calculator... my household are strictly mac folk and they haven't got anything out for me to use
Hope that helps you

I use this site. If you add all the flavors you have, take the time to build up your profile, you will be able to click 1 button and see all the recipes you can make. I like this site as I measure in weight (grams) as opposed to volume (milliliters). It works OKAY on mobile, not great, but I've seen a lot worse
Welcome fellow Canuck !! I think you'll enjoy DIYing, the possibilities are endless. TSC is where I get my syringes and needles; they're inexpensive and usually well stocked in my parts.
ECF strips links to that site. Perhaps you could link the site by putting "spaces" between the www and the url.
the one thing i always forget.... always have your fav flavor in a fresh set-up. helps me think while i am concocting GL
Getting syringes, bottles and beakers is challenging if your Canadian. Ya you can get supplies from the US but with 30%+ dollar difference it really sucks now, even ebay or amazon its all USD. Depending on where you live, I live in a small town but was able to find 1ml-60ml syringes at a local vet along with tips I blunted myself, 50ml-500 ml clear and amber bottles from a apothecary we have near by, wire top bottles to store nic in the freezer at the U-Brew place. Nifty wire top 50ml to over 500ml bottles from the dollar store or similar store and they are all CAD.
I made a magnetic mixer from Youtube so I got my beakers, stirbars, mini funnels from ebay china (usually 2 weeks to my mailbox and free shipping). Once you get going with mixing you come across something somewhere that will help. I'm always on the hunt for nifty things, it drives my wife nuts.

I did the "add your flavors and see what you can make" thing but hated it .
Unfortunately the overwhelming majority of recipes that pop up are from people who could very well be as inept as you are , thats not a good thing.
Nowadays i only make recipes that are proven favorites that have lots of 5 star reviews from a lot of different people .
Way too much time wasted making recipes that turned out horrific by "who know who's" out there.

I usually dance over 95% of what I find using that feature, but I did find a cereal, and strawberry cheesecake juice that I enjoyed a lot... Like you said though, 5-star reviews or nothing
Mine is pretty much what Robert listed. I use E-Juice Me Up, too, & store my recipes on my hard drive.
Looks well organized and tidy, I am sure you will do fine. Nice to see the detail you have put in, It will make your DIY journey much more enjoyable, Once you get started you will see the need for other items that make the mixing easier
I also store all my formulas in the ejuicemeup calc but I removed all the recipes that come with it and just save my own. I have my mixes backed up for when an update occurs and replaces all those stock recipes back into the calc. I just delete all the stock recipes then copy/paste mine back into the program.
