Hi guys,
I just received two 1oz (30ml) bottles of 24mg flavored e-juice. I ordered my usual 80/20% PG/VG mix, but they made a mistake and sent it all PG.
They were incredibly cool about it, and are sending replacements out right away, and don't even care to get the 'mistake' bottles back.
So, instead of wasting the flavored 100% PG bottles, I'd like to add some VG to get my usual 80/20 mixture.
I think I've already figured out that I need to have 24ml of the original flavored all PG mix, and replace the remaining 6ml with VG, in order to give me 30ml of 80/20 mix.

But here's the question.
If I simply add pure food grade non-flavored VG, would it seriously lessen the flavor of the original mix, even though it's only 6ml I'd be replacing?
Secondly, I'm sure the Nic strength would drop down to somewhere aroung 19mg. (Which would be fine with me, but I don't want it less than that).
I'm not a mix it yourself kind of guy...this is a one shot deal just so I don't waste the two 'all PG' bottles.

How would you guys do this?
And I'm not even sure my figures are correct above. Like I said, I'm no mixing guru. Would just like to be able to use those two 'free' bottles.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. :)

To your First Question:

If you want to end up with 80%PG|20%VG you’re going to need to add 20% Pure VG to your 100% PG e-liquid.

So your New Mixture is going to have 20% less Nicotine and 20% less Flavor. You will Probably Notice a 20% Drop in Flavor.

The Second Question:

How would I fix it? Depends if I like the e-Liquid to start with.

If I did, I would order 60%PG|40%VG in the Same Flavor and then mix the 100%PG in a 1:1 Ratio.

Just me being lazy, I'd probably just mix the 2 bottles together. To add a little bit more to that, I was running low on juice recently waiting on an order, so I cut what I had over 50% with VG. The flavor and nic were taken down a notch of course, I actually now like the juices more. I'm not sure how or if this is helping, but I enjoyed typing it.
