Here is a list of all the flavors I ordered, including nic pg and vg.

Do any of these flavors require special treatment? I read insoluble in water flavors require added steps and want to make super basic, single mixes to start... in order to get a taste for individual flavors.

Any tips before I jump into it? Aside from getting safety gear and a beaker.

Welcome bmilcs. Unfortunately, I can't zoom into your list well enough to be able to tell what you have :(

There are some stickies in the DIY section that give some rough approximations of starting points. Read Hoosier's and Danny's blogs about flavoring. I have mostly CAP, LA, and TFA flavors (as well as a small handful of FA). I am in the ballpark of about 10% total flavors with which I start. I usually do a 10mL batch (it's easier for me to do the math on that :)) But, since everyone's palates are different, what I like won't be the same as what you like. You're good to start low - you can always add a drop or two later if the flavors remain too light.

Since you're going with max VG, you might want to think about thinning a bit with distilled water or unflavored vodka, as the VG will be quite thick. I do 50/50, so I don't worry about thinning my juices.

Good luck - this is a fun world. I've probably mixed up close to 200mL of different flavors in the past couple of months. I've only had one "epic fail", and all the rest have been pretty decent. I'm not super precise with any of my measurements (I know, a lot of hard-core DIY'ers will probably want to smack me), but since I do cook and bake, I have a reasonable idea of ratios in my multiple-flavor mixes that I want to shoot for. I've found a couple have toned down after sitting for a few days, so I could go a little higher to start.

Your flavors are after my own heart :) I foresee Strawberry/Kiwi and Key Lime Pie in your future! I love doing fruits and vanillas (custards) You might even have enough to do the Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk clone.

Check Clone Recipes | Homemade E-juice Recipes
diyRecipeBook and
e-Liquid Calculator

for some sites with flavor suggestions. A couple of these let you store your ingredients and then allow you to search for flavors you can make with your inventory.

Good stuff :)
