Howdy everyone, hope ya'll had a good day and have an even better night!

Mike and Janet I gots my pluid and I is vapin' on it right now! You sure were generous! And you sure are right, the stuff is potent! I tried it straight up at the full 20 mg to test it out at first, and after one carto's worth I was wondering what would happen if I tried diluting it a little. I've been vaping around 12mg lately and the flavor is pretty strong, so why not extend it a bit? So I just filled a half a condom with Pluid and added another maybe 1/3 VG, and to be honest, I could hardly tell the difference! So I might just go ahead and do the rest, I'm thinkin' on it. But what is this stuff? Good question! The anise part is a no brainer, pretty darn obvious, it screams atcha! The rest of it however, I understand why it was a mystery because it barely whispers, and I am hearing impaired! It's fruity, maybe citrusy, and I'm getting a slightly whiskey or some type of alcohol flavor, but that could just be the strength of the anise. Very deceptive. Someone on his thread said they'd like to try it without the anise, but I think if they did, there wouldn't be much flavor left to taste! I'm going to try it again in the morning when my tastebuds aren't so jaded because I've been puffing on this so long the flavor lingers long after I'm finished vaping it! It's good, and I definitely like it, but to be honest, I also don't see what the extreme hype is all about. I don't have any anise flavoring at the moment, but I don't think it would be too hard to come up with a reasonable facsimile if I did, along with some green coloring!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to try this cool stuff, I really appreciate it! I may have to send you something to try in the near future and see if YOU can guess what it is! Hee hee hee! Hugs to ya both!!!

    Yea. Daniel from GotVapes told me to send it back, so, I sent it back this morning. He said they will check it out and if there is nothing wrong they will send it back. If they send it back their going to have to teach me how to operate it. Their place of business is only 30 minutes away so it will be a short drive. The other one is fantastic. I like the way it works and use it alot. It has a very short learning curve. I was quite suprised with the simplicity of operating it. I am excited to experiment with it.

    I'm glad you got such a good start. Except for the dud of course. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

    You're quite welcome to the sample. I didn't want to skimp as if you really liked it, I didn't want you running out too soon. From Murdock, it's a 50/50 pg/vg @ 20 nic. I've heard others who cut it and said the flavor held up, just like you found out.

    Yepper! It will certainly wake up your taste buds to the extreme. Many people use it as an all day vape - no way could I do that. I think the hype is just the green color, the 'in your face flavor overload', and the scarcity of product availability. For me it's a fun occasional vape, but I wouldn't go through hoops to get another bottle of it. Caution, if you vape it in your car - it lingers. I just left my PV in the car loaded w/ Pluid, went into a store for a little shopping, and when I got back in the car - yikes! - it smelled like a licorice factory.

    Gas would cost more than mailing. I'm not worried, they have a good reputation. Besides I know where they live. I'm haveing lots of fun with everything else.

    Sorry to hear you got a dud. Daniel will make it right I'm sure. I'm glad you're at least able to use the other one. And I'm so glad to hear that you're having fun with the juices. Gotta find a couple that you really like in case you run out of a favorite.
    Vape on Happy Vaper!

    Gas wasn't what I was thinking....sometimes I'm a bit impatient! :laugh:

    I agree. It might be very interesting to see what it's like, plus somebody might actually look at it while you're there and either fix it or replace it on the spot. Could be something simple, but it's definitely not right and you've got a working one to prove it.

    I'd be shocked if the flavor didn't hold up to a bit of dilution. I love licorice, but 1-2 puffs of it was all I could take for awhile. And Mike is right, just having the bottle a few feet away from me in the room and I can smell it! Mike used a syringe to fill his tank and we had a devil of a time getting the smell out of the syringe. I even soaked it in baking soda and water over night and could still smell a little of it. It is the only juice we have that looks like radiator fluid so it makes it fun. They don't call him Mad Murdock for nothing! Who else would have thought of such a joose!

    Janet take the needle off and separate all parts and stick it in the freezer for awhile.

    Leave the black end on the plunger though.

    In the freezer? OK, I'll keep that in mind. I made some joose for him using the DK Tobacco and man does that stuff stink. I usually toss the "tobacco" bottles because I can't clean the smell out of them. I'll have to try putting one of those bottles in the freezer to see if that helps.

    I had to do an "experiment" this morning. I always vape my P-38 (WTA) in the morning for that first kick of the day. I was always a menthol smoker, and good thing, cuz that is a strong kick azz menthol! Love it. Anyway, I have a special carto just for that, and after taking a couple hits this morning, I spied my little green bottle of pluid sitting there. Got me to thinking, 2 really strong flavors, I wonder what would happen if...and before I could even finish processing the thought, I put six drops of pluid into a condom, and inserted my P-38 carto to soak it up. No explosion or anything, so far so good! LOL! I kept staring at my PV, I don't know what I was looking for, but maybe just procrastinating? Finally, I brought it up to my lips, and inhaled gently. Hmm, not too bad. Inhaled a little more. Pretty good. Pretty darn good. I like it! It's kind of a nice change-up from the plain menthol. Nothing else I had would register flavor without diluting the WTA too much, but the pluid worked! I figger it's a good way to extend two precious ingredients! Works for me! Thanks again Mike and Janet! See what you started! LOL!

    Acting on impulse isn't bad all the time.
    Glad you like it! :)
