I purchased VG from Essential Depot but it is so sweet that it overwhelms any flavor I try. I've even gone up to 40% of Irish Creme from Natures Flavors, and still all I can taste is the VG. Does anyone have any suggestions for VG where the flavor is not so strong?
My VG is too sweet!

I'm sure someone will come along to help you that knows more than me but to me vg has a sweeter taste no matter where you get it. I usually try to stick to around 20% for total flavoring in a recipe. Believe it or not, to much can make you lose flavor. If you are using 100% vg, it maybe that you need to add some pg to the juice to add a bit of throat hit. I experiment right much and have added a drop of distilled vinegar (especially to tobacco flavorings) or even a drop of Everclear (Pure Grain Alcohol) or Vodka to enhance a flavor.
Great question and I look forward to reading the answers so we both can learn.

Less can be more with flavorings, and with max VG, steeping becomes more important than with a juice that has more PG. But you should not get much taste from the VG. Have you tried vaping just the VG by itself to see if that is really the problem?
I have. I tried it when I first got it to see what it tasted like. It's really strong. I started with 5% flavor, then 10, then 15. Finally I tried the 40%. I can taste the Irish Creme a bit on exhale, but the most prominent taste is the VG. Should I try a basic VG from Walmart or something?
You could always get the wally world vg for 4 bucks as a comparison. but 40% is wayyyy high. I dont have any experience with the vendor of your flavor. Is this your first attempt at diy?
VG is sweet, no matter what, in my experience. Ever try some Bitter Wizard? It cuts sweetness. I rarely use it but I know that it works!
I tried vaping straight VG, I didn't get any sweet taste and was actually kind of disappointed about that. It had more of a rather light generic toasted-ish flavor too it.
I'm pretty sure the VG I have is from Wal-mart.
