Why does this taste like Vaseline?

Actually, I've never tasted Vaseline, but my first attempt at DIY e-liquid has an oily taste that ruins it. My recipe was 5 parts PG, 2 parts VG, and 4 parts cinnamon extract. The cinnamon comes through just fine, but the finishing flavor tastes the way lotion smells. I'm guessing that the offending flavor is either PG or VG, but I don't know which one to reduce or eliminate. I'd prefer not having to waste a bunch of liquid by experimenting. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions?

Interesting. Every juice I have vaped, DIY with various ratios of VG/PG and various ingredients, as well as premade/commercial VG juices has an after-vapor smell I equate to the smell of lotion or baby powder. Very similar to your experience. Once I noticed the premade stuff does the same thing, my concern went away, and it doesn't affect my vape since it is just the after-vapor (if I stick my head in it and take a big whiff) that has this scent.
