I have been using strictly distilled water. The YouTuber uses his own concoction. I can't afford to use his concoction. If I created a type of formula myself, involving say 70% distilled water and 30% white vinegar, do you think that should be ok?

Some inks will bleed when using vinegar. Also, the card will smell like vinegar, so you'd have to soak it in water again afterward to get rid of that smell.
Vinegar will completely remove gum stains though. See attached.
