I bought some 24mg e-liquid and it is a little too strong. Could I add some water to dilute it and make it an 18mg solution? I'm sure I could figure out the math of how much to add I'm just wondering if that is possible. Thanks
can i dilute my e-liquid with water to make it less potent?

And if my math if correct I would add 7.5ml of water to dilute it down to 18mg. Idk maybe the concept is not correct but if someone could tell me if this is possible or if I would have to use a different liquid to dilute. I know the solution would still contain 24mg but using the same amount I was using before would be the same as me using an 18mg e-liquid, right?

That would be too much water, probably (unless you have a tiny little bottle (4ml, say) of the 24mg liquid. You could dilute it with some VG or some PG (0 nic)....but it'll dilute the flavor, too. You could get some of the same flavor at 12mg and cut your 24mg stuff to 18mg by mixing it half and half. That way you won't dilute the flavor, too.
Yes good point, thank you. Would you recommend vg or pg? I think I will just add in small amounts and keep trying until iit still has a nice flavor and a little less intensity. Plus that would give me a tad more juice for my money.
Here's a simple way to look at diluting your nic levels. You can change the numbers to whatever you are using.
3 parts 24 mg. 1 part 6 mg. Add the 3*24 + 1*6 = 78. divide 78 by the number of parts which is 4 = 19.5 mg. Parts can be any quantity you want. Even drops as long as the dropper is the same.

25% water would almost surely be way too much, unless your liquid is 100% VG, in which case it'd be likely too much.
I'd recommend VG, if you'd prefer getting something a local store. Humco Glycerin USP is sold as a skin protectant at places like Walmart and drug stores. Using it with some distilled water works OK, too. VG will increase vapor, while water will reduce it.
I use around 75% VG, 10% PG-based flavorings, and 15% distilled water on my thinnest mixes. I usually stick to 10% or less water.
