@Rhianne since you are getting ready to start this, a good thing to do, even before you have supplies, is to register and then take a look at "Create a Recipe" on website e-liquid-recipes.com
You enter various values, like the nicotine level you want, the base that your nicotine is in, the PG/VG ratio you want the end mix to be, and then enter each of your flavors. At the end of all that, save the recipe and see that it will give you exact parameters of how to mix the juice. You can use ml, gm, or drops as units of measure.
Click the drop-down menu where it says "User" and you can choose drops or grams. You can also enter all the info about the cost of your bases and nicotine.
Up top is what a finished recipe looks like.
I would highly recommend that you get yourself a scale, and either start saving bottles to reuse, or order some bottles to mix into. If you use a scale, then select grams as your unit of measure on ELR.
If money is a concern, as it was with me, here's the scale I use, $10.99 on Amazon, free shipping with Prime:
And I just got a slew of bottles for $0.19 each here:

If you use a scale and these bottles (which are wide-mouth and very easy to mix into) you will not need any pipettes, cylinders, beakers, droppers, etc. Everything can be dripped right into the bottle.
This is not rocket science. It's just a matter of figuring out how to enter the recipes, get everything set up right, and then you just follow the recipe like you would if you were cooking.
Oh, and I just got a helluva deal on 500ml each of PG and VG with free Prime shipping here:
I believe that same company also has a package of two 500ml bottles of VG, so you'd get a liter shipped for $12.95 if you have Prime:

And two last things - this is the best deal I've found anywhere for nicotine that has favorable feedback:
https://liquidnicotinewholesalers.com/100mg-nicotine-liquid.html
I got the 250ml of 100mg/ml for $14.99, and shipping was about 5 bucks, then use coupon code ELRECIPES for 15% off.
Bull City Flavors carries almost all of the flavor lines we use most often, and you won't find better prices than theirs. Use code VU6 for 6% off all the time.
Total that up, let's see:
Scale $11
VG $13
Bottles $10
Flavors from BCF $15 (this is about 10 small bottles of flavors plus $3-4 for shipping)
Nicotine $18
Looks like $67 to me, enough supplies to mix over a liter of liquid, with 2/3 of the nicotine and a good portion of the flavors left over.
