Taste each thing separately.

VG only, then PG only, then Nic only mixed with PG or VG if it's high Nic content and only after you're sure your PG/VG doesn't taste funny.

Also, are you tasting on different devices? If not, try that, maybe one has a bad or dirty coil

I didn't think of that - LOL!!! It has a kind of oily taste? Added more flavor, but it still didn't cover it - I got all my stuff from Wizard Labs...I'm going to try them apart and see what happens :)

I found the oily VG taste went away when I mixed it with 10% or so of Distilled Water and/or some Pure Grain Alcohol.

VG taste kind of sweet by itself, fluffy and smooth. I wouldn't call is oily, but I could see how some might think that depending on how your vape test it.

PG tastes kind of dry, harsh in a way, and slightly band-aid or plastic like to me, or maybe hospital / care facility air taste is a better description.

Try each thing by itself, with nothing added to it at all (No flavor). Once you taste your VG and it's OK, taste the PG, then same once you know it's OK taste the Nic mixed with either the PG or VG but do that last after you tasted the PG and VG separately, so you can pinpoint which is giving you the off taste,

Did you taste in different devices? Different style tanks too, or is it all only one type of tank your testing with?

I have to get a tank good and clean...I only have a couple Evod tanks and a couple vivi nova tanks - I switch batteries between my spinner, a pass through and a little mod I have - the juice I made seemed to taste funny no matter what setup I mixed up for the day (my hubby says my DIY sucks....LOL!!) I have to taste everything separate and see what the dealio is...I found it tastes better to me if I add some flavor in with each fill...but if I add more flavor to the batch, no difference...LOL, there is definitely a learning curve to this :D
Oh, and I found that if I soak my hubby's green tank in vodka - the rubber colored stuff comes off - LOL!!! He now has a silver tank....
