I just got me this liquid that says is PG free. I assume it has VG since I'm getting plenty of vapor. But the weird thing is that I read somewhere that VG liquids are sweeter than PG ones (correct me if I'm wrong), but this one feels a lot less sweet than the ones I used before (with PG). Could it just not have neither PG or VG?
Does PG-Free liquid implies it has VG?

It is all VG if no pg in it, you are right vg is sweeter. However the flavor that you have may be less sweet then the ones you had in pg. Some flavorings have sweetener in them.
Are any juice suppliers making peg juices? I see that as an option when I am looking at Chinese sites.
I may be wrong but I think peg and pg are just different abbreviations for pg.
Edit: I am wrong, I just highlighted the two words and they are different. I don't know what peg is and don't know if you can get it in the states.

PEG is polyethylene glycol, while PG is propylene glycol. PEG produces more vapor than PG. I think the problem is that is says poly"ethylene glycol" which scares people. Ethylene glycol is the "poisonous" anti-freeze ingredient.

Could be VG or PEG, the site does not specify which.
PEG is available nearly everywhere in a variety of weights. I think 400 is what is used for juice. Other weights can be found in many other applications. There are a few ECF suppliers that sell it, but I have never used it.

It should contain no PG, since that is what it implies. The only other base/carrier I know of is VG, so the one juice they alluded to is probably 100% VG.
There is also a very interesting paragraph on the website about USB Chargers and Pass Throughs.

Good reading for all who use their PC to charge their batts. Just something to be aware of.

Here is what it says on their juice page: (They use both PEG, and VG in the PG-free.)
myPVshop.com offers a full range of flavors and strengths of electronic cigarette liquids. We also offer a PG-FREE line for customers who are sensitive to Propylene Glycol (PG). The PG-FREE line substitutes vegetable glycerin (VG) and/or Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in place of PG. Although the PG liquids do offer stronger flavor and are closer to the feeling of real tobacco use, the PEG/VG versions provide outstanding flavor and vapor characteristics. Some customers without PG sensitivity prefer the PG-FREE line, saying that it provides a "sweeter" vapor.
OK, so that might mean that it has some PEG as a base since they specifically said PG free.
Edit: Yes, Freakystylie thats what I was thinking was a possibilty after reading NCC's posts. I didn't dig deep enough.

Yea actually my previous PC got burnt out, probably because of that (I was charging a Joye 510 through USB).
