Duplicate WP theme with different configuration

I am using Salient (from themeforest) theme on my wordpress website. I would like to duplicate my theme and modify the second one to be more mobile friendly. It's easy to duplicate it, but I just can't manage to modify one theme without affecting the other. The 2 themes are located in folders with different names, I also modified the name of the 2nd theme in style.css, so in Appearence>Themes they have different names, but it doesn't help me much. I modify my second theme and then activate the 1st one which is just like the one I modified. Maybe it's a database issue, or I don't know, I am noob in WP. All I want is 2 themes (well, the same one 2 times) but with different configs. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance! Buzas.

I think the theme itself should have custom CSS editor, as far as I have worked with Themeforest themes, they all had it. You should check among its options.

You should create a child theme to do this properly. However, if I look at what you want to achieve, you will probably succeed by adding the custom css plugin and adding some extra css rules.
