I made 20ml of juice, with 5% 1.5% 1% and .5%,
it was still a bit much, so I added 10ml of base 50/50, let sit in my steep box (on my bd burner in my PC on my DIY stir plate) for a few days, tried it last night and it was really good.
So, I now have 30ml (minus about 1/4ml I tested it with), if I wanna make a 30ml batch,
would I take a 1/3 of the %'s because I added 10ml??? Or how would I work this out??
I didnt expect it to turn out and would like to try to replicate it and see if turns out again.......:D

Your description is a bit confusing. What were your final percentages? I'm not getting the 5%, 1.5% 1% and .5% Do you mean you started with 5% then added 1.5% more then added 1% more then added .5% for a total flavor percentage of 8% in 20ml base? Then you diluted the mix by 10ml? If that's the case then reduce the total percentage by 1/3 or total flavoring should be 5.33%

If that's the case then he needs to reduce each individual flavor by a third. It could also be that the flavor percentages were OK and he just needed to let it steep.

It spent 4 hours at 150, then 5 days in a dark cave, then I tested it again, I added the base, then put it in the "cabinet" for another 3 or 4 days...

SO I gather you steeped it at 8% and it was to strong then you diluted it by 1/3 and steeped some more. If that's the case then reducing flavor by 1/3 will work for you.
