I've been trying to get another bottle of Pluid for months now. I'm having cravings for it and some suspicious looking bottles popped up on the classifieds. Even if those particular ones are legit I've already heard of people getting ripped off. If those do turn out to be fakes it's a real shame and that type of thing will ultimately hurt Pluid's reputation. But to some poor sap who wants to make a bunch of money SUPER FAST, it can seem irresistible to fake some.

I just don't understand why production can not be increased even a little to help meet demand. Does MM really have to mix every batch himself? He seems to be a very busy guy, but I also know for a fact he is making serious money off this stuff. Unless one of the secret ingredients is gold, profit margins on e-juice are pretty good. If he doesn't have time to mix, he can certainly afford to reinvest in the business, hire some good help and set the Pluid machine into motion. I would invest in it myself if I could. If he is worried about his secret recipe being leaked, there are steps he can take to insure that doesn't happen. Many industries out there have trade secrets. I wonder if he even looks at it like a "business" or just a hobby....Oh well, I was lucky enough to taste it once. Perhaps Pluid was never meant for the masses...but he gave the masses a taste and now he is just torturing us. I'm guessing he's not into making money at this point....because he certainly could.

Many entrepreneurs out there would kill to market and sell such an amazing product. I hope he decides to expand one day and grow Pluid and his other creations to their fullest potential. In the meantime what other "magical" juices are holding you guys over? Mine is the 4.99 Cookie Blaster from Mt baker...it's amazing.

I kind of feel this is the whole design behind the marketing of Pluid. He now has 3 vendors lined up to peddle a product he couldn't keep in stock at one vendor. You can say he is busy all you would like, but he has time to discuss business contracts and whatnot, but not time to hire someone, or make the juice. It's cool with me, I have found some nice alternatives so far, and they just keep getting better. I wish the best to those who follow this man like he has some special mind, but watching his videos has made me really worried. Very sketchy, IMO, and very unprofessional.

Never tried it, would like to but I only wanted a sample not an entire bottle. He should have a 3-5 ml sample bottle to try out. Brilliant marketing scheme, " only make enough so it won't stay on shelves and people want to try it out. No sample bottles, bigger bottles, bigger profits."

I don't think he bottles it, the vendors do that. If you buy a 30mL and do not like it, you can sell it on the classifieds.

Man you people...

He's had one batch and a partial batch (14 total liters) of pluid get broken by USPS when he shipped them in the last two months. Give the guy a break.

Dude, you're a little late, I think. Kind of strange you would randomly pull this up and state something like that, IMO.

It wasn't so random, this thread was one that popped up in a search for Murdock's old Pluid thread.

EDIT: I didn't check the dates on some of the older posts.:oops:

LOL, don't piss off the Pluid fan boys, it's like talking bad about the Provari or Justin Bieber.

Yeah, I kind of got that too. I will officially state that I own both a ProVari and enjoy Pluid, but not a Bieber fan. And there are no products I consider myself a fan boi of at all. I just do not get the cult followers. They creep me out.
