How do I make my eLiquid smoother?

Just for clarification, by smoother I mean a more mild and muted vape. What's funny is I used to solely vape this juice in an EVOD and now I'm using a ProTank 3 I get a bit more flavor which I don't like lol. If somehow I could add something to it to make it smooth like say Hobbe's Blood I would be golden!

Add some vegetable glycerin to it.
VG will make it smoother and produce more visible vapor. However, it also tends to mute the flavoring a bit and if you're adding it to a premade liquid then it's going to dilute both the flavoring and nicotine content. But, it will give you the desired smoother hit with more vapor.
You can buy vegetable glycerin in places like Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens.

Hi, and welcome to ECF!
I mix my own liquids, and if a batch is too harsh I add some PG to the liquid to smooth it out. It produces more vapor but mutes the taste somewhat. You can get it relatively cheaply online (I pay £3.99 for 100ml)
Something like this Vegetable Glycerine (VG) 100ml - Cloud 9 Vaping
It will hopefully give you the desired effect.
Water might help, but I've never tried that!

DO WHAT?
I think you have that backwards.
PG provides THROAT HIT, retains flavor, and but produces less visible vapor.
VG provides visible vapor but mutes flavors and has little or no throat hit.

Hah thanks folks! How much VG do I drop in a 30 ml bottle to achieve the desired effect?
Also is the 'CVS Pure Glycerin USP' the right stuff? (I can't post links)

Yes, that VG will work just fine.
As for "how much", that's entirely up to you. What I would do is get a clearo or tank and fill it with 1ml of your liquid. Then just one drop of the VG. Mix it around really good and take a few puffs to work the old mix through the wick to get to the new blend. If one drop isn't enough, add a second, and so-on until you get to the point you want.
Then you can scale that to the remaining amount in the bottle. If you've got 25ml left in the bottle, multiply the number of drops by 25 and add that amount.

You can add up to 30% distilled water. I have, personally, never gone as high as 30% since my usual ADV comes at 50/50 only I just add about 10% DW. The premixed juice is way too strong for me so I buy a higher nic than I prefer and dilute it with distilled water to taste and for best wicking in my toppers. Depending on how much TH I want, I may use some PG instead or in addition but DW will give more vapor than it does plus helps moisturize tissues that get dried out from, mainly, PG. Why don't I use VG?: Because its already 50% VG and VG cause congestion for me is one reason and the other is wicking.... the thinner the juice, usually, the better it will wick. Bottom line: I usually use distilled water when playing with a premixed for adjustments.
This is a good calculator for either adjusting your premixed or DIYn from scratch:

Be aware that for every 1ml of VG you add to 9ml of pre-mix for a total of 10ml you decrease the nicotine by 10%. VG can be your friend tho. It is also a great skin moisturizer (without nic)
I would suggest taking a small amount and putting it in a new bottle to experiment with rather than just mixing it into the big bottle. When you get it where you like it mix into the bigger bottle. Keep notes on how much you add.
