Why throw it away?

It's not necessarily a huge issue, but don't forget ESV ≠ BRS.

BRS is a simple formulation based on two basic compounds (Randy's Recipe)...four if you count magnesium. ESV has Magnesium, as well as other trace element compounds balanced across the two-part to keep your system balanced over time.

What I'm trying to say is can I mix BRS Cal component with ESV component. My dosing jugs are almost empty and what i was going to do was just fill the jugs with there respected liquids which has a bit of ESV in them.

I don't think it would hurt, but if possible I would just let the ESV run out normally and not combine them, just in case.

You might send a message to @teamr2r and see if they can drop your thread into the Chemistry forum for some more responses. :)
