What are the different ways a kineticist can do to get multiple attacks using their blasts.
What feats and infusions are necessary? or is there an archtype?

The only way to do it now is basically through the flurry of blast infusion or metakinesis (quicken/double), which isn't great. Aside from that, you could kind of do it with kinetic blade or kinetic fist, but for ranged attacks, the only way right now is through the above listed methods. I'm working on writing something that lets them do this myself, hopefully I'll be putting it out soon.
Am I correct in thinking that the flurry of blast infusion makes your attacks as a level 1 attack? Would the most you could get then is by celerity and quicken together?
Kinetic whip just gives you multiple attacks through attacks of opportunities and combat reflexes.
Vital strike doesn't work with blasts either correct?
vital strike doesn't work with blasts.
The blade and whip can be used to make iterative attacks and haste attack on your turn at full damage.
Your basic burn free "full attack" is gather energy and blast with either empower or composite or both, depending on level.
It would be pretty cool if Flurry of Blasts wasn't hot garbage at 1d6 damage only.

Just to be clear, while the above suggestions work, you're generally not supposed to get multiple Kinetic Blasts.
Instead, you get the ability to increase the damage significantly via metakinesis (empower) at 5th (paid for by gather power), and then composite blast at 11th (paid for by supercharge) on top of increased damage and bonuses from level and Elemental Overflow.
The damage winds up quite respectable, though not sky-high.
an air kineticist can get 3 attacks with a lightning whip by 8th level.
Basically, if you want additional attacks with the full power blast, kinetic blade/whip is your only option. However, the elemental annihilator archetype and flurry of blasts infusion each allow multiple attacks as well, but not at the full power of the blast.
