PG should be tasteless or not?

[sturner6]

I have only bought PG & VG from one supplier (Wizard Labs) and am wondering if there should be any taste associated with them. The PG I got has a very pronounced sweet taste. It also has sort of a harshness to it that I feel on my tongue...sort of like a real dry feeling just on my tongue.

While the VG seems tasteless, it seems to leave a sort of coating on my tongue, if that makes any sense.

Just wondering if this sounds normal since I have no benchmark for measuring this, being so new to all this stuff.

If this is normal, I am also wondering if there is any way to counteract this dryness and sweetness of the PG

Your description is exactly how they should taste, except most usually get a sweeter taste from vg. FlavourArt makes a product called Bitter Wizard that is supposed to neutralize that sweetness from the base liquids. Most vendors that sell DIY stuff carry it.

I get no sweetness taste from PG. Dry, yeah, but that's the nature of the stuff.

Most VG gives me a slight sweetness and that oil-like feeling you describe. The one I use does not have that coating effect.

As Greensmoke use PG so I feel the test of Falvor .

I got that coating effect from a bottle of VG I got from CVS - I use NOW glycerin these days and like it but have heard others who don't care for it; so as always, YMMV

VG tastes to me is sweet like a syrup of pure sugar but not as sweet.

PG tastes like... bitter nasty crap but vapes fine if mixed.

Should be tasteless . The Vg from walmart/cvs i find to be crap.I wont use that stuff anymore. I use PG and VG from essentialdepot . Both have no scent or taste and none of the flavor muting i get with cheap stuff.

What would the difference be in the VG's? Thanks

The walmart VG has a almost minty taste ,bit of a smell and mutes most flavor. There was a major difference in the amount of taste between the two. I have two bottle of walmart and a bottle from cvs that i will most likely never use again. I dont know why its different but it is . Maybe because one is made from animals and the other from vegetables .Possibility.

"MUTES" the flavor...that's the best way to describe what the VG I have seems to be doing. I'll try Pure 100% Kosher USP food grade vegetable glycerin from them and see how they compare...thanks. BTW, looking forward to trying your recipe for the strawberry cheesecake ))
