I want to try and make a bunch of different flavors that I suspect most wont be any good. so should I just make 3ml batches? If so are the numbers to make 3ml batches difficult to figure out?

I use this e-juice calculator. It does everything. Just "open" a file with the flavor you are looking to make and adjust the parameters.

What size batches do you guys usually make when trying to make a new flavor?
I use an online calculator and make up a bottle (usually 20 or 30ml) of flavorless base nicotine liquid with my required PG/VG and nic level. I allow for adding 18% flavor later. I then put 100 drops into an empty bottle and, using the same dropper/pipette, add 10 or 12 drops of flavor. I then use my dripping atomiser to vape-test it, and add extra flavor drops to my mix until it's to my liking. Most of my mixes turn out around 18-20% flavor. Obviously if a mix tastes perfect with only 10 drops then my nicotine level will be a bit high, and if it takes 30 drops it'll be a bit low, but I've never really noticed any difference. You can tweak it next time. If I end up with 120 drops it's around 4 or 5 ml, obviously you could do the same starting with maybe 50 drops.

I do 5 ml test mixes then measure with a 1ml syringe. Keeps it easy
in 5 ml base I can measure flavor as follows
.05ml = 1%
.1ml = 2%
.15 = 3%
ETC........ all the way up to 1ml = 20%

I test with 10ml, as I don't have smaller bottles than that. Usually, even if I'm not diggin the recipe, I can still vape all 10mls without issue. I've had to toss maybe 4 batches of different things so far in all of my experiments, which isn't bad considering how many recipes I've experimented with. 5mls sounds like a better idea though tbh. Less nic if you mess up, and the percentages are just as easy to work with as the 10ml batches. Yes, btw, you should be using the calculator provided by SDave.
