Great vid. I'm now starting to venture into basic DIY with the pre-built kits where all the thinking is done for you, but I'm wondering how far you can fine-tune the recipes if you go 'Full DIY'. For example, if you want a 'darker' tobacco or just a hint of x.

Forget what I said, started making my own juice last week and it's definitely the way to go! A lot cheaper and with patience you can get some good tasting juice

Well done!
I was a smoker for 50+ years, and a token come to that {but not any longer}, so I like the sensation of a good draw/hit, and there really don't seem to be that many tanks that can deliver the satisfaction I need. Anyhow, almost exclusively use Smok Baby Beast family now {awaiting the carbon version on coming from China } and very satisfied with them all.
So, when I started vaping I got one hell of a surprise how much liquid I was going through, and it was costing me as much as tobacco had..... not a tolerable situation, so, looked around, read Donald Blakey's 3 books and started buying VG, PG and Nicotine from Vampire Vapes, and their flavourings too { £10 for 30 ml but buy 5 pay for 4 drops the cost - personally its their Heisenberg all the way, every day for me, at 6mg, and 70/30 }.
Prior to TPD I caught 4 litres of Nicotine, and its in the freezer, so no worries about making liquid both for myself and for my customers { see Dr John's Vape Shack on FaceBook } and its called Dr John's eLixir.
I enjoy vaping more than I ever enjoyed smoking, and my lungs are so much better for the change.
As I was a maths teacher for 30 years, it also gives me an opportunity to use my skills: wish I could find the formula so I would not need to use the various calculators.
And, it costs me virtually nothing to vape now a days, between buying the ingredients and selling liquids to order

How far you can fine-tune your DIY vape concoctions is limited only by your patience and imagination

Not sure what you mean by 'the formula' but if you understand percentages then in theory you don't need to use a calculator. But why do it that way when you can use a calculator - many of which also calculate weight for you too if you're mixing by weight. I was horrible at maths in school but I reckon I could write the sums to work out an e-liquid recipe from. Calculating them would be another matter...easy enough if you have a simple one-shot concentrate but if you're using multiple single flavour concentrates at very small percentages then things get a little more hard on the brain cells.

Tempted to buy a kit and give it a go......
That mixing is the way to go

Buy a set of gram scales and you'll never look back. Easier than falling off a log.

Came to the forum to read reviews on ejuice...

This has made me decide to start the diy route with a easy kit first. Thats where it always starts..
