Well,I finally made my first DIY supply order. 250 ml 60mg nic in VG, 250ml VG, and 120ml PG, pipetets. Now to order some flavors but can not decided who to use or size of flavoring to buy. Guess I also need to get some bottles as well. I have several 5ml bottle I kept along the way but where should I get 10ml or larger bottles. Any advice is welcomed.
Will I did it.

I mix in the small bottles when I try a flavor, 60 or 80 drops base and 3-5 drops of flavor. I use Perfumers Apprentice, Flavour Art and Flavors West for flavors. Also I have some favs for DIY Flavor Shack. But if you make small batches it is much easier to figure out the concentration of flavor you like. Write down how many drops of base and how many drops of flavor for each batch, I mark it right on the bottle, makes it easier to make bigger batches then. Have fun!! bnrk

Where ever you got the pipettes from should also sell bottles. Get flavours from any juice vendor and get 0 nic but double flavour.
Highdesertecigs.com great vendor has: Flavor West and TFA flavorings,RTS nic juice for a good price- all around nice guy- very affordable. If you are looking for Flavor Art go to ecigexpress.com. There is a flavor reviews section as a subforum of the eliquid reviews- confusing location but it may help you with your flavoring choices. Capella's is highly regarded as well for flavorings. Use the coupon code master list check deals and steals for a promo code before you buy.
Since your new i HIGHly recomend getting Capellas flavoring . They are the best flavorings you can get and its hard to make bad juices with them . They are also the best for base flavor . Once you got the mixing down and stuff id say get some FA and TPA which will be good later on for tweaking mixes and making more complex/harder juices . Capellas has a great deal right now as well which they dont always have . Its super cheap considering your getting 13ml bottles .
Also i see that you got pipettes . I dont recomend using them as im sure others will say as well . They are not accurate and are a pain to use since they always start bubbling and stuff . Get yourself some syringes and 14ga blunt tip needles . Drfosters online has syringes for super cheap .I think i paid like 3.00 for 25 3ml syringes . Also make sure to download Breaktru's ejuicemeup calculator . Its a great free software that doe all the math for you and keeps all your recipes recorded .
Best place i found for good bottles is ebay . 50 20ml dropper bottles for 6.00 (blue cap) . Tpa also has good prices on 6ml bottles .

I use TPA flavorings for my DIY and have been quite pleased with not only their selection and price but quality as well. I tend to make very small (3mL) batches at around 10% flavor so that it is easy to tweak up or down from there. With new flavors I am trying out for the first time I like to make each one separately and try to get each to a nice flavor concentration. Once I have them tweaked individually I play around with missing them for new creations. I don't know if this method is the best as I am learning too but it works for me. Good luck with DIY and stay safe!
I do sort of the same . I make indivual flavor sample by using 20 drops pgvg to 1 drop flavor . I have a chart .
1 drop = 5%
2 drops =10%
3drops = 15%
4 drops = 20%
Then its easy to find your sweet spot for each flavor . I found testing them indivdually was a must when starting out .
Im not say TPA is not good as i use TPA all the time as well ,im just say Capellas is MUCH better and MUCH easier to start with and they also make for better base flavors as they have more taste and are always exactly like the name of them . Also remember to check out the flavor reviews section . Its very helpful . Theres a sticky at the top of the DIY section here .

I buy my bottles from US Plastics. They are the same bottles a lot of the E-cig vendors are selling, except they resell them at a higher price. US Plastic has always given me great service. They have a quality product and ship fast.
The bottles I use are the 10cc NATURAL BOSTON ROUND WITH DROPPER CAPS. 10cc is equal to 10ml
Here's the link: Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Hope this helps!
