Mathematics/Dilution question..??

[Ditch]

I thought this was very simple and the more I have thought about it the more unsure I am.. lol

I have 2 juices (same flavor and vendor), 1 x Normal Flavour Strength and 1 x Double Flavour strength, both 18mg 60/40 vg/pg

Normal is great, double flavour is way too strong.. so that got me thinking..

mix them together = 1.5 X flavour (too strong still)

But then I thought, I have 6ml of the double flavor one left, if I mix up 6ml of unflavoured 18mg 60/40 vg/pg and mix that with the double flavour.. Do I end up with 12ml of single flavour..???

Brain is telling me it should be 6ml of DF & 3ml of unflavoured, giving 9ml of the right strength..

Seemed logical at first now the percentage mathematics is doing my head in.. might just do it by taste lmao..

I would go with the "add unflavoured to df gradually,tasting as you go" option,as you might over-dilute it & end up with an insipid juice.

That is probably the way I will do it, but I just wondered on the mathematics.. as the sums are going around and around in my head..

As far as the maths goes, I'd say your first thought was correct with 6ml of double strength and 6ml of unflavoured giving you 12ml of a single strength. You'll have diluted the strength by half or 50/50. ie 12ml divided by 6ml = 2

If you add 3ml unflavoured I would say that it's diluted by a third 66.6/33.9. 9ml divided by 3ml = 3

I could be wrong though. I often am
