I noticed that I am very sensitive to PG. I have a bunch of 30ML premixed 50/50 bottles that I would like to dilute to 70/30 by using VG. Can somebody please help me with the calculations to do this?

50/50 = 50% PG, 50% VGI noticed that I am very sensitive to PG. I have a bunch of 30ML premixed 50/50 bottles that I would like to dilute to 70/30 by using VG. Can somebody please help me with the calculations to do this?
50/50 = 50% PG, 50% VG
50% = .5
.5 * 30ml = 15ml PG, 15ml VG
Problem: how much VG should we add, so that the resulting mixture is .7 VG, .3 PG?
Since we're only adding VG, the amount of PG stays the same, at 15ml. So the question can be rephrased as "15ml is equal to 30% of how much?" Now, it's a simple "solve for x" type equation:
15 = .3 * x
.3 * x = 15
x * .3 = 15
x = 15 / .3
x = 50
...so the total amount of liquid should be 50ml. That means we need to add 20, to our original 30. Let's check the result:
15ml + 20ml = 35ml VG.
15ml PG has not changed.
15/50 = .3 or 30% PG
35/50 = .7 or 70% VG
The resulting mix is 30% PG, 70% VG.
50/50 = 50% PG, 50% VG
50% = .5
.5 * 30ml = 15ml PG, 15ml VG

Target: 30ml, 30% PG / 70% VGThis is exactly what I was looking for. You broke it down perfectly to help me get a better understanding of the math. Thank you!!!
The above procedure is calculated by adding VG to the existing 30ML. What if I wanted to stay at 30ML?
Thank you again! It makes a lot more sense now when it's broken down like that!Target: 30ml, 30% PG / 70% VG
30% of 30ml is how much?
x = .3 * 30
x = 9
We're then looking for 9ml of PG in 30ml of liquid.
Start with 18ml 50/50 (9ml PG, 9ml VG) and add enough VG (12ml) to make 30ml total.
Check:
9+12 = 21ml VG
21/30 = .7 or 70% VG
9ml PG
9/30 = .3 or 30% PG
