One of the things i did was go to flavor pairing sites, culinary. Very helpful when trying to pair odd flavors, as are food recipe sites, especially for desserts.
Awesome info for the new DIYer! Thanks Jojo!

Welcome to the DIY journey!
A lot of what you need can be purchased from somewhere like Amazon (scales, PG & VG, syringes, pipettes, bottles, etc.); the flavoring and nicotine are best purchased from a well known vendor, such as Ecigexpress, Bull City Vapor, Heartland, The Perfumers/Flavors Apprentice and the likes. Take a look around the resource pages here on ELR and use the search box on the forum to direct you to many post concerning getting started. Then, jump out there and post a new topic in Beginners for some serious helping hands! Lot of people here that will love to help.

My pleasure! And seriously, don’t be hesitant to post a question. The sooner you do, the faster you will be mixing your own juice!

My tip/s would be to start with 5 star recipes on this site or others that appeal to your tastes. Stick to the recipe percentages faithfully and the flavor suppliers as best you can. It makes a huge difference in some cases. Mix them and let them steep. Be patient as it will generally be rewarded. Do this a few times with a few recipes until you get the feel for it. Then go back and look at what you have made and think about what it was lacking or what was overdone and adjust the recipes accordingly. TAKE NOTES! Basically, practice until it becomes familiar. Then you will find yourself starting to come up with your own ideas. Don’t be afraid to fail! I have certainly created a couple of bottles of paint remover myself. 
ALSO I highly recommend dedicating one RDA to taste testing. I have evolved/devolved to a wickless 5 strand Mundy coil in a Magma RDA. I find that this gives me the clearest perspective on exactly what the juice tastes like. Use flavor chaser coils (with wicking) like the above in your other RDA’s. Use the Mundy, Diamond or Tri-coil and you will get the most enjoyment from the fruits of your labor. Good luck and enjoy!

Someone should remove the coupon code for Flavorah from the resource page. It expired at the end of 2015. I was 4 days too late…
