This is true, but you can either
a) Get (or measure) specific gravities for different concentrates
b) Assume identical specific gravities for all concentrates and adjust your recipes by taste accordingly (in fact, this is how many of the well-known Reddit DIYers do it - the percentages they post is for identical specific gravities, even though it is not objectively true.
I really urge you to try scales! Unless you already have and mixing by volume just suits you better - then who am I to tell you what to do!
Btw, converting weight to volume through specific gravities gives the same effect as mixing by volume...
Much easier to mix by weight. You set the conversion for PG and VG in the calculator once and it does it automatically. For concentrates it is so close to 1 on 1 between volume and mass and they take up the smallest part of your mix, that it is not worth the effort to get the specific gravities.
I agree entirely. There may be issues of it not being as accurate as mixing by volume but, as mentioned, any decent app allows you to input the necessary density of your ingredients. Besides, DIY is a hobby for people that are largely amateurs and personally, I don't mind if things are a bit inaccurate. I'm just happy to don my mad scientist coat and mix up some juice that may be horrible, or may be brilliant, as long as I'm having fun with it.
Also, clean up on mixing with a scale is amazing. When I started with the syringes I managed to mix about 3 juices before being just sick of all the rinsing and spilling that it wasn't fun or worth it at all.
