I concur with your first week's findings. :-)
As for syringes... you might want to look into the SEOH Pipette pumps along with various sizes of pipettes for them. I absolutely love'em. So much easier to work with and also for the 1ml pipettes very smooth and accurate. Less hassle than syringes.
Also, I had no problem with the viscosity of VG with any size of the pipettes and the pump. Except that I had to push the top instead of using the pump release because VG just doesn't move as fast with just gravity doing its work.
A few links to check out...

etc. They have various sizes pipettes for these things and also a pump size larger than the 2ml and 10ml ones.
I would definitely recommend getting a pipettor instead, this was the first one I had https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013OWV6E4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4VjXzbTKA62G1 along with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MIPY2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dXjXzbV5N5P5S and it completely changed the game for me for about $20 total. I could easily live without the drill, but I couldn't survive without that after using one for awhile. The thumbwheel is actually very ideal for the task, even moreso than the $400 one I replaced it with (paid $60 new-stole it lol) but either way it's the most important piece of equipment I have. By far.
For pouring I use a stainless steel funnel. But depending on the bottle size, I might also use a 25Ml serological pipette with hand pump.
Downside to the pump & pipette combo, you need steady hands as it's just over 20 inches long, can be a little unwieldy.
Will these pipettes from EarthOx work? You could always check out basters too.
You'd be better off with something like these:
Having just ordered stuff for the first time after a couple of weeks of digging, I could help, perhaps.
>I'm buying nic from Wizard Labs. It's not possible for me to store the nic in the freezer. Can I just leave it in a dry dark box along with the rest of my flavors? How long would it last? Is it gonna get peppery in a few months? I heard Nude Nicotine doesn't have this problem.
Buy from NudeNicotine? The purity is higher. For keeping it fresh, and if you are doing this only for liquid for yourself, why buy a gallon? Estimate how much you vape over 3 months and get a smaller bottle. I got me a 120ml bottle of nic. I also got myself this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AS4NCM _it's Argon and it "settles" on the fluid in the bottle, sealing it off from oxidation.
>The flavor extracts are REALLY cheap on Wizard Labs. Since everyone here recommends them I assume they are just repacking bulk bottles?
Yes. They are not the cheapest, and don't have all the different brands though. Consult http://vapingunderground.com/threads/flavoring-sources.7229/ for a sheet with a list of sources with prices. The price per ml, and the shipping cost are what matters, of course.
>What else would I need? I'm trying to stay under $100 to get started. I'm guessing I'll need some 1ml, 5ml, 10ml syringes and some sort of a beaker or two to mix the flavors in? Ofcourse glass and plastic bottles to store the finished juices.
Right about that. You can mix them right in the bottle or cylinder you will be storing or steeping them in, so no need for the beakers.
I went with 10ml and 1ml pipettes (like these: http://www.amazon.com/SEOH-Serological-Pipet-individually-wrapped/dp/B008J4BRFQ/) , a 10ml pipette pump (by SEOH on amazon), a glass 50mm funnel, and some of these vials (http://www.nudenicotine.com/product/conical-vials-for-mixing/), besides the bottles.
> Mother's Milk for me takes about 4 weeks in a dark drawer to start tasting right. I assume it'd take even longer for fresh mixes? Will they be good enough with just a warm bath and vigorous shaking? Do ultrasonic cleaners make that big of a difference?
Yeah, its just science, warmness and agitation help mixing, in addition to just mixing that happens over time.
> I LOVE custards and creams. Are there any particular flavors concentrates that you'd recommend? I know I have to get Capella's Vanilla Custard, what else would be fun to play around with? What should I stay away from (other than acetoin and diactyl stuff)
Stay away from all custard flavors if you really want to stay away from diketones. There's no good, safe way to get that taste without them compounds.
> What sort of additives should I get? From what I've read so far pear is used a lot, even in juices that don't taste like it. Apparently it helps bringing out the flavor and what not. What additives, like Ethyl Maltol etc. are good to have?
