I love anise, and i love strong flavors, but Pluid is way too intense for me. Not only can i not vape it straight up, but it basically ruined one of my protanks. It is so strong, even after a 24 hour soak in rubbing alcohol, there was enough flavor stuck in the o-rings to flavor whatever i put in the tank.
That being said, one of my ADVs is Mellow Melange mixed with Pluid (around 5ml MM to 1ml Pluid).
As far as Mad Murdocks other flavors, I did not like Mellow Melange by itself. 710 was good, but nothing to write home about (if you like the kind of waxy chocolate flavor of a hostess cupcake/ding dong you might like it). Maha Ras tastes just like a headshop smells right out of the mail, but after letting it steep an additional 4-5 weeks it mellows, and i vaped it almost all day today. Agent Orange is a nice unsweet orangey/apricot/citrusy flavor, but has a floral (orange blossom?) note that i think will mellow in time like Maha Ras did. I am really looking forward to trying it in another month or so.
They are not in stock often, and all IMO worth a try. Its too bad they don't have more options in terms of sizes and nic strength. If you don't end up enjoying them, they should be fairly easy to get rid of in the classifieds.
