Come July I've been vaping for 5 years, 1 1/2 years ago I got into diy mostly because I found store bought juice to be too sweet. I had some hits, misses and dumps. About 3 months ago I tried some one shots and they were pretty good. Then I tried 6 more oneshots and found out I was just lucky on my first order. Out of the one shots that I have, 3 are great, 3 are ok and 3 are so sweet that I can't vape them. So back to regular diy I go, my hits and misses are no worse than the one shots. I believe that I am in the minority for not liking sweet juices.

Not sure about you being one of the few that don't like sweet liquids, I'm in that club and I see a lot of post saying the same thing. Reduced expense and getting what you want I believe are the biggest reason people move to DIY.
I don't think you are. I am a "reluctant" sweetener and if I use it at all, it's usually something like 1 drop per 30 mls or so.
With that said, some stuff is naturally more sweet than other stuff. If some of your one shots were loaded down with sweetener, well, no you aren't going to like them.
I have certain one shots I quite enjoy but I don't use them all the time, and unfortunately finding a one shot that YOU like can be just as difficult as finding flavorings you like and can use in a recipe.
However, all is not necessarily lost. You may find you enjoy some of your "sweet" one shots, but at a vastly lower percentage. You may even like them at a vastly lower percentage, but with some other flavoring added instead, that doesn't add as much sweetness.
Most things can be amended, some way. Whether it's worth it to you to do so, vs. making your own mixes, I'm not sure. But, it's fairly rare for me to JUST use a one shot. There's a lemon rhubarb pie I like a lot, but the lemon fades, so I need to add more.
Also, you just may be a "lighter" flavorer, generally, and you may want to reduce your percentages of the "too sweet" one shots considerably. I will say, removing or amending "too sweet" is probably one of the harder DIY feats, but it is achievable. Etc.

I generally don't mix sweeter juices and do like sugar lips. You can achieve that sensation with out making your juice sweet. Meringues are perfect for sugar lips.

Me, I dislike sweet any thing. which is why I'm having such a hard time finding juice's that I like, I've only been at this since January of this year and I'm not quite ready to delve into DIY yet. What's a sour puss to do.
If you like tobacco juices you might take a look at the Black Note brand. Coffee vapes are good as well.
