Does PG have a flavor of its own?

[DrewGrimey]

I'm not allergic to PG or anything, but I feel like every PG flavor that I vaped has a very subtle, similar taste lingering in it. Almost a chemical like taste. Not sure if PG is the cause since I have not been able to compare the same flavor in a pg and a vg, but just something I wanted to point out and ask if anyone else notices the same.

I vape VG predominantly but I see what you're saying. If anything, I would think PG does have a slight chemical type taste to it. Before I got my "flavor eraser" I used to use PG to clean my atomizers between flavors to clean it out... And it did have a strange taste. I can't quite describe it but that's probably what you're sensing.

Do you use a clearomizer? I sometimes get a plastic taste and most likely it's from the plastic cylinder.

I know so I did a taste test a while back and both had their own flavor profiles. The pg was slightly sweet and tart while the VG was blatantly sweet. They are basic backbones to the structures of a lot of the sugars we eat, so its no wonder they trigger some type of flavor. But there are a ton of flavor 'maskers' out there. Which are you using if you don't kind me asking?

I have found that there is a difference in taste between PG/VG mix and pure VG with the same flavor. I myself think VG taste better.
