How would you do it

Got one for you. I have a premade juice I really, really like. But like a lot of folks, I'm trying to save money and stretch it out. I get 36mg, 50/50 mix in 60ml bottles. What I want to do is cut it down to 12mg because I shouldn't use 36mg. I made the mistake of doing that once and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
The problem I'm having is cutting it down and not losing the flavor I like. I've tried using 2 different versions of recipe formulas and they don't get the mix right.
So I'm hoping I can get some help here. I want to cut so that the nicotine is an acceptable level, the flavor isn't so diminished that I can't taste it and I want to bring it up to 60/40 as I love the throat hit I get at that level.
I usually make 5ml at a time , trying to get this right. SO far I've gone through 2 60ml bottles and still haven't gotten it right.
So any suggestions, help, the right recipe formula or what ever would be greatly appreciated. And thanks for taking the time to read this.

Save a friend, tell them, teach them about vaping. Besides, I love some of the looks that I get when I pull out my machine and blow!

The only way you're going to be able to cut that without losing flavor is with lower or even zero nic juice of the same. Ie. if you want 12 mg juice at 50/50 pg to vg, starting with 36 mg juice of 50/50 base is to add 2/3 to 1/3 of the same flavor, : two thirds of the zero nic juice of the same flavor to 1/3 of the 36 mg juice, nez pas?

In other words, to make up 10mLs of the 12 mg 50/50 juice, add 3.33 mL of the 36 mg juice to 6.67 mLs of the zero nic 50/50 juice...otherwise you will definitely lose a lot of flavor by diluting to 1/3 with any other or even unflavored pg/vg.

Thanks for the reply, I knew it was not going to be easy. I've been trying everything I can think of. Looks like I just need to order the juice at 12mg and be glad with that.

One more thing to add to this: If the vendor offers double or triple flavor, you can stretch it that way. I've been doing that with two juices I ordered at double flavor, and it works.
