I made some peach juice with PA juicy peach, about 80pg/20vg. I guess the juicy peach is sweeter than peach. Is there anything I could add to this to make it less sweet?

I will try it, thanks! What's better to use, lemon juice or vinager? Real lemon juice?
Hi Fishy. 
I've found that I like my flavors strong, not really sure why. My father in-law is also vaping off my stock, and I made him some Peanut Butter, same strength as mine and he said it was pretty strong...so I backed off the flavor a bit for him, haven't had any feedback on it yet though.
I tend to have the opposite problem though, too bitter. I'm sure that I'm going to have to figure out where to buy gallons of Sucralos (sp?) because of how fast I go through it.

Just FYI, you could make your own. All sucralose is the chemical name of Splenda.

Citric acid/lemon juice/vinegar/sweetner are all going to make more sweet . I think she said less sweet .
I like the Bitter Wizard not sure if the other suggestions work. Please let us know. I am curious about this.
Citric acid is sour and can be perceived as opposite of sweet. Also, it can break down complex sugars into simple sugars and change sweeteness depending on the sweetener present. Bitter Wizzard would be your best bet but if you don't have any, citric acid is worth a try on a small tester.
citric acid has been making all my juices sweeter for me expecially fruits like my sweet strawberry .
Bitter wizard is definitely what your looking for . It really works to reduce sweetness

Thanks everyone! I ordered bitter wizard, hope that does the trick.
Do you think it could be sweet because I used too much flavoring?

Put a bunch of pg or vg and splenda in a pot and mix together once the pg or vg warms up a bit. Don't boil it, it just needs to be warm so the splenda resolves quicker.
I'm guessing that you know how to do that?
Lol, I'm with scottinboca, add more pg --- not vg!
VG is sweet on it's own. I haven't played with bitter wizard and don't know what it is. All fruit flavors can come naturally sweet enough. I just work down from something too sweet by extending it's life with either more pg, OR, put half in one bottle, half in another, add some pg and just a tad of the peach (actually meaning a drop - not a real measurement) to each bottle. Shake and taste. Let 1 bottle steep, while adjusting current bottle. That leaves you with no written recipe, but you already know not to add so much sweetener now and can work with recipes all over again. Works for me, ymmv.

Possibly could be to much flavor as that flavoring is really sweet naturally. You might try and dilute a small test batch to see if you can balance the sweetness but still have enough flavor. I had good results with it when using 3 drops per ml, how much did you use?
I used the calculator and added 15%. I thought that's what was recommended? I guess not. 
I usually like mostly all PG, but ran out of PG (of course) and added more VG than I wanted too.
I guess next time, less VG, less flavoring.
