but i didn't think i was going to order them either 
Walt often does that when they are running sales, or introducing new flavors, to get you hooked so you order more later LOL. I didn't hear about these until the sale was over but I likely wouldn't have bothered ordering any as I have no complaints with their SC line and I am still trying to use up all the SC flavors I bought late 2016 thru early 2017.
Got my order today too...
I'm not a menthol fan so I only ordered 15 of the 16. After a quick finger test, I'm excited to give these a try. I really like the bottles...
My package arrived today. I hate those types of bottles also. They started showing up with a Nic River order a couple of weeks ago. What I ended up doing(after much muttering and cussing under my breath) to get the bottle open was to take some jewelers pliers and pull the tops off. The after getting the amount of flavoring I needed(with a syringe and plunger) I just put the outside cap back on and let the drip insert hit the trash can, then made sure the bottles were stored standing upright in my fridge. Maybe these types of bottles are ok for a finished product when you are filling your tank, but they stink when wanting to measure out flavoring.
My order is waiting on my front porch right now. Looking forward to making some small test mixes.

I like these Chubby Gorilla bottles too. The lids are better than the ones I get from my regular supplier here in Canada (which crack if you're not careful with them). Every time I clumsily crack one I grumble and grab one of my clean mixing bottles to re-bottle it so it's got a good, tight fitting lid.
Haven't mixed anything yet, but they pass the initial smell test. I didn't actually count or really check my order to see if I got any free samples. Not my favorite style bottles either, but the dropper tip will pop right off with the edge of a thin blade and snap right back on as well. Well packed and timely shipping, especially considering the quantity of pkgs due to the discount. So far so good.

I almost passed on this deal as I didn't really need any of the flavors and don't regularly use most of them. That said, it was an impossible to pass up deal and the chance to try some flavors that I would never have tried otherwise. My order was well packed and I am impressed with the bottles. They are attractive and don't leak at all, unlike some bottles of repackaged flavors I have gotten from other vendors. I mixed up a batch of something I created just to try out the flavors and can say that the bottles dispense the flavoring perfectly to measure by weight.
The color of the Custard, Chocolate, and Vanilla are offputting since I am used to seeing these as clear liquids. I am sure they are fine. I tasted the Vanilla and it tastes very much like TFA's Vanilla Swirl.
Orange Pineapple Smoothie
Cream Fresh (FA) 1%
Koolada 10% (TPA) 1%
Meringue (FA) .5%
Orange (One Drop Flavors) 4%
Pineapple (One Drop Flavors) 3%
Smooth (TPA) 1%
Vanilla Swirl (TPA) 2% (the One Drop Flavors Vanilla would be fine)
This is actually very good. The Smooth might not even be necessary as the Orange and Pineapple flavors are not at all harsh, even as a shake and vape recipe. The quality of the One Drop Flavors is impressive, IMO. I plan to try the Raspberry and Strawberry in my new favorite Fizzy Pink Lemonade when I get some more Lorann Lemonade flavor on Saturday. I wish I had known that 10mls of that would go so fast.

I didn't have a particular complete recipe in mind so I decided to add a few drops of One Drop Flavors to a batch of Purilum Sweet Tobacco/Pistachio. It was rather bland to my taste so I thought it would be a good starting place. I started with 8 drops of chocolate. Smells good , but didn't change much. Next I added 8 drops of caramel. Same result. I tried the same w/Custard as well as vanilla. These were added to roughly 20 ml of liquid, so I'm not sure that I added enough to give them a fair test. Everything was tested with a Hadaly dripper. My impression is that they're going to be good quality, but will need to be mixed in the 2+ percent range which isn't bad at all. I'm going to try a few mixes from scratch over the weekend. Overall, my first impression is pretty good.

Got my 14 bottles yesterday and as with the rest of the comments the bottles are a bit ruff to use but I'll get buy with them. They passed the sniff test and I tried a few of the flavors on a small piece of unsalted unflavored cracker and they tasted pretty decent. I also had some lemon Italian ice that I added a few drops of cherry and that gave it a pleasant interesting new taste. Not sure yet what the % equation will be for these but I would summarize an educated guess to be 5 - 7% for a single flavor base and some fraction of that when used as notes or accents.
I Added a few drops of cherry to 3 ML's of an already made and steeped plain pipe tobacco mix and it gave it a nice cherry note which was not to over powering. I have not given much though on what to mix with these flavors but I'll report more when I come up with some recipes. I will say this for now, my first impressions of these flavors are quite positive.

good to hear. walt said over on ELR they are basically the SC extract without the alcohol or VG in the carrier so they have to be used at a higher percentage, and they are all DAAP free but I doubt you will see the MSDS or DAAP testing results on the site for a while. I may have to give some a try when I eventually need to order more flavors in a year or three so hopefully he is able to expand the ODF line with a lot of the other RF SC extracts I like.
This is as much as I have learned so far:
and as much as I need to know since I don't plan to order any new flavors until I at least run out of a few of my RF SC... which likely won't be until sometime in 2019 or later.
I am not sure if he can/will be more specific but you could try shouting him out on over on ELR or emailing RF/ODF directly.
I have been mixing some bottles to steep. the custard is surprisingly good. I have found %7 to be pretty good. It is a coil killer* though
Grape is the only one I have tried yet. Its a pretty realistic grape juice. Not as candied as I thought it would be. I tried it solo at 7% and in a mix (grack juice) at 4%. Think I like it better than the INW grape in that recipe. It does have a slight throat hit for the first couple of days but it subsides.
