@Rossum
Are you saying the math is not right? If so you would be wrong.
If you had 100ml of juice with 20% flavoring that would be 20ml of flavoring in that bottle. 20ml/100ml = 0.2 or 20% right? If you added 10% nic base you would now have 110ml but still 20ml of flavoring in the bottle. 20ml/110ml = 0.18 or 18% which is a 2% dilution of flavoring. My math is 100% correct.
18 is 10% less than 20. :)

That is true, but since most flavors are only 10% - 20% of the total liquid, a 10% dilution of the total liquid translates to only a 1%-2% dilution of flavoring. You will not even notice that difference.
I'm positive you are wrong about flavor difference.

Show me the math the proves that.
2 is 10% of 20. "Two percent" is 10% of "twenty percent." Since there was 20% total flavor to begin with, removing 2 of those 20 "percents" is a 10% reduction from what it was, not a 2% reduction.

It's 2% difference of the TOTAL ratio of flavor to PG/VG.

Understood, Scott....but that doesn't translate into a 2% drop in actual flavor from vaping the juice. It translates into a 10% loss in flavor. Why are you making this so difficult?

But you're only looking at the difference between the ratios, when you should be looking at the ratio of those ratios.

The ratio of flavor:total volume in one liquid is 20:100 or 1:5. This has a decimal value of 0.2, or 20%.
The ratio of flavor:total volume in the other liquid is 18:100. This has a decimal value of 0.18, or 18%.

The ratio of [the ratio of flavor:total volume in the second liquid]:[the ratio of flavor:total volume in the first liquid] is 18:20. This has a decimal value of 0.9, or 90%.

The concentration of flavor in the second liquid is 90% as strong as that of the concentration of flavor in the first liquid.

It's actually been a very enjoyable thread and a fun debate. However, often times during a debate, the desire to win outweighs the desire to learn. That's when pride and ego step in and spoil the fun. Such is life....

But if you add 10% water to your orange juice, coffee, Kool aid, martini, beer, soup broth, ejuice, cereal, hot chocolate, pudding, quacamole dip....

It's going to dilute the flavor 10%. Sometimes it's the simple things that are the hardest to understand.

Here's an easy one: say you have a beer, it's 6% alcohol. If you mix it with water and pour it into two mugs, each one is 3% alcohol, which is half (50%) as strong as the original.

If you catch the barkeep doing this to your beers, does he owe you half your money back, or only 3% of it?

I think the flavor of this thread has been diluted by at least 10%.

Sounds like the OP already uses/has some 12mg so easiest would be to add equal parts of 12mg and 6mg for a fully fla

Scott's from Texas. The answer is painfully obvious. The bartender gets shot.
