I got the Sumtra today.

First impressions:

1.) bottle has all the details on what is inside, good!
2.) bottle has no dripper but this old style medicine drip, drip: bad! as no liquid comes out even when you have it upside down for minutes;
3.) smell of the liquid is very nice, a little sweet but good coffee smell;
4.) taste on 6V is like a cup of coffee, but nothing special I think;
5.) will try it tomorrow morning, as I like my coffee then ;-)

Emonty,

If you make the hole in the center of the dropper wider the liquid will come out faster.

Safety first. I don't want to open the gates for government regulation because we don't provide safe bottling on our own. The last thing we need is a government mandate that says we have to do so when we know nicotine is poisonous.

No fuss to be made, and there's no intention of heckling you for disliking the bottles. I apologize if that's the way it was perceived. Believe me, I understand the inconvenience of the bottles, and I do wish I had a better alternative. I just feel it is my responsibility to offer the safest bottle available. I don't want any dead kids on my shoulders because I sold a customer a flimsy plastic bottle with a flimsy plastic child-proof cap to save a buck and make more sales because most customers do, without question, prefer them.

Where did you get that emoticon??

Nope, but we do use different bottles. If the liquid isn't coming out at all after a minute, that's just not acceptable. I'll look into the matter. Our USA bottles might be a little slow, but the liquid comes out at least somewhat quickly. It might take 10 seconds, if even, but it works.

Update on the Sumatra:

I tried to make the hole bigger but ruined the plastic, so I poured it into another bottle.
@Eric: new bottles needed ;-) ;
Filled up my AFS and using a brand new cartomizer, set my passthrough on 6V and took some drags. Loads of Vapor, smell of the liquid is nice and the throat hit is ok, not great but good enough. Again the smell is coffee like, a little sweet but not to sweet. Now the taste, as I think that is the most important part:
There is the tobacco undertone, that is for sure and as stated on the ingredients, it has a tobacco Absolute (Turkey) base and a hint of Vanilla and Cocoa. Coffee flavor is not predominant, but not overpowering. Dunno really what to think of the flavor in relation to Sumatra coffee, but will give it some more time. I have used many different coffee flavors, like Kona, Coffee, Dopio Espresso, Cappuccino e.a. but this one is again different.
It has a kind of perfume chemical taste to it which is not what I dig, but it might be my taste buds at this time. I will give it some more time and let you know.
