Lets say I needed a really low percentage of a flavor in a recipe could I dilute the mix in PG and if so is there a simple dilution formula you guys could provide me with?

Like say I wanted .001% of TFA honey because i want a little bit of ass taste in my juice, not too much, but just enough where you go "huh thats definitely ass". Is there a dilution formula or could someone walk me through there thought processes on diluting?

Thanks babes

XOXO

Flavor (ml) / (Flavor (ml) + PG (ml)) = New % in PG.

So if you have 1ml of flavoring, and you add 9ml of PG to it, you now have diluted it down to 10% flavoring.

Good. I think that means my math isnt moronic.

So I could do

(F(mL)/(deisred%))-F(mL) =PG(mL)

If I don't know how much PG I should add to get the percentage I need right

Looks right.

Well math tells me 0.001 is 1/10 of 1% so. If you take 1ml of flavorant, and add 9ml pg or vg you will have a 1/10 strength flavorant. If you use that 1/10 strength flavorant at 1%, that should give you your .001% strength. However I am as noobish as one can get at DIY, so if I get downvoted and shamed into oblivion for being wrong, I apologize.

Math seems sound.

I simply dilute medicine flower flavors at a 9:1 ratio making each flavor 10% total flavoring. Making it easier to measure. I recently explained to a friend how doing so, can make a $22/15ml flavor into a $22/150ml flavor that's still almost 3 times as potent as some FA flavors. You only .need .1% MF strawberry which IMO is still too much, meaning that you only need like .7% of the dilution. I fucking love MF for this and they last me forever. Also keep in mind, the stronger the concentrate, the more likely it is that it will go bad. I'm sure this isn't true in all cases, but I know medicine flower flavors can go bad quicker, so diluting them can almost always lengthen their shelf life.
