Pathfinder 1E Alchemist wants to be creative with Potions

I've been enjoying getting to know the Pathfinder system, having played 3.5 for years. I'm still learning everything Pathfinder can do, and playing an Alchemist has been a great way to try things I couldn't do in 3.5.

I want to acquire a variety of potions that will expand my Alchemist's options. Alchemical Allocation makes potions reusable, Enhance Potion makes self used potions increased to character's caster level and Infusions of Alchemical Allocation allows sharing with others. I've got the Accelerated Drinker trait that can allow for chugging 2 potions per round (my DM has been generous enough to allow Mutagens and Extracts to work under this trait as well) and I plan to craft a pair of Spring Loaded Wrist Sheaths to make sure important vials are on hand right away.

I'm looking to build a list of 0-3rd level potions off other caster's spell lists that will expand my character's utility both in and out of combat. I'm still new to Pathfinder's spell lists and I'm open to suggestions from all of you fine folk here! There are only certain spells that can be made into potions due to the Brew Potion rules, allowing only for targetable spells and making the drinker the target.

Thanks in advance.

Some tricks I've done so far:
-Chaining Alchemical Allocations and regurgitating the same Cure Moderate Wounds potion for effective out-of-combat healing. (Our Cleric is about to leave the party, the player wants to roll another character).
-Re-using a potion of Vanish at caster level in order to deal Sneak Attack damage (Vivasectionist Alchemist).
-Re-using a potion of Greater Magic Fang at caster level to my Bite attack (Feral Mutagen).
-Re-using a potion of Magic Circle Against Evil for combat buff to nearby allies.
