    Default New bottle tips

    I pretty much only buy my liquid from BWB now, going on 7 to 8 months. Recently, the bottle tips have changed and the newer ones have a much larger hole that liquid just flows out of. It makes much harder to fill or top off a cartomizer from the stock bottle. I wasn't prepared for it and had juice all over my hand and table. It made a huge a mess. Just letting you know, I'm not sure if you are aware of it or if it's buy choice or just a change from the supplier. Thanks!

    Yeah, not a fan. I am a fan of easier pouring bottles but these are just too big. Best solution is to transfer it to a different bottle I guess.

    Personally I like the new tips, however if you don't, you could just reuse the old tips from your empty bottles instead of throwing them out.

    I don't mind the new tips. One of the first things you see on the BWB home page is a notice that they have changed the tips, although I guess a few people didn't see it and had the same problem of a massive flow of juice upon first squeezing the bottle. This happened to my friend when I let him use my new bottle of Casablanca and he had juice on his shorts like "dude ...?!" haha. I agree with the suggestion of reusing the old tips, great idea!

    The site is down right now. Was there a reason the tips changed? Sure, I can save my old caps but it would be better if they didn't have the gigantor hole. You can easily make a bottle hole bigger with a needle tip or paper clip, but you can't make it smaller.

    My suggestion would be , if you have an older tip from the older bottles, rinse that out & replace the one you don't like. We had more complaints with the older type, that we changed to these newer ones...I belive it was talked about as well. Sorry that happened.

    haha that's funny the same thing happened to me

    I've found that it can be a bit quick if you aren't paying attention and/or the bottle is very full...they make up for it at the other end though...when the bottle is at the end you can definitely squeeze the last few bits out easier
