that should start you off pretty well. Couple things to consider:

Even if you plan to make high VG mixes, you will probably want some PG.
Blunt tips - 14ga is great for VG, but you will probably want something smaller when measuring flavorings.

Alright, I added 120ml of PG, and what ga would you recommend for flavorings?

Find the recipes you want to try and order those flavors...much better and tons less aggravating than buying a bunch of flavors and trying to find recipes for them

I just use the smallest, 18ga. Easier to be more precise with measurements.

More 1 ml syringes. They break easily after a few uses. Maybe some disposable transfer pipettes, and some kind of labels for your bottles.

IMO you def need more syringes. I don't like taking a syringe from one flavor and then dipping it in another flavor bottle. Potential cross contamination of flavors.

Also, I don't personally like pipettes as others have mentioned. They are not as accurate and don't have enough graduated markings making small sizes tough to deal with. Like if you need to put .4ml of a flavor in. Sure you can eyeball but you'll find it tough to reproduce the recipe if you end up really liking it using an eyeball method. But that's a personal preferences. Many people make juice just fine with pipettes.

I try to have 1 x (1ml, 3ml, 10ml) syringe for each flavor I have. Though starting out, you really only need a 1ml for each flavor.

I changed it to 10 of each syringe, thanks for the info. I'll definitely keep them separate now
