I got about 25% of my latest order in these new bottles as well.

I also got an example of the sealing problem they mentioned as my sweet-cream was leaking quite bit. Package smelled interesting :D

My Apple Pie leaked in my last order as well.

Well damn. I just ordered 6 TFA flavors. I ordered mine through Wizard Labs. Anyone know how they handle this problem if it were to occur?

If they're the 8ml WL sample vials they're totally different. Usually WL will replace anything that breaks or leaks in transit, though their packaging is very good.

I haven't had a bottle leak yet, but I'm glad they are addressing the issue so I hopefully won't ever have that problem. The new ones look nicer though.

I have some yorker spout caps I use for the old-style TFA bottles. Will they still fit the new ones? I don't have any new ones to try myself.

I was just about to order a bunch to fit my tfa bottles. Good thing i didn't find them on amazon this morning.

I have 25 yorker caps for TFA bottles coming tomorrow. Guess I'll just dump the new bottles into the old ones if they don't fit.

Thats what I was going to suggest. I did confirm the new bottles have bigger lids :(

I'm not sure. I can look when I get home. But looking at the different bottles the newer ones look a little bigger.

Any update?

Yeah the new bottles have bigger lids. So your old caps won't fit. You can just use your old bottles though if you have any.

I just got these in today as well. My only issue is since they're shorter, I won't be able to keep a disposable pipette in the bottle.

wait... you just leave one in the bottle... genius, lol

Haha yep! You have to fold it down a little to get it to fit. I may just have to double one over to fit in these new ones. It's just used to transfer anyway..not worried about measuring with it.

Yeah leaving them in there is an awesome idea.

Why not just cut a small portion of the bottom off? Rather then folding or bending which could cause breakages or blockages?

I actually tried this last night. The slightly larger opening doesn't hold the liquid in. Surface tension maybe?

I suppose it depends on the blend of VG/PG.

I usually apply a tiny amount of pressure to the Pipette so it stays at the same fill level anyhow.

Awww man I'm bummed that the bottles have different caps. I've got a ton of Yorker caps for the old bottles.

I got a few of these in my shipment today, they're nice bottles, but man now I gotta hunt down some Yorker caps to fit them.

What am I gonna do with all the ones I have? Maybe I'll have to just bite the bullet and order bottles for them.

all of my TPA bottles leak at the cap. It is quite annoying, this change is long overdue

Excellent! My last 3 orders of sweet cream leaked and my hands stunk like sour milk so bad that it ruined the perception of the flavor when I mixed it in some of my recipes. Thanks TFA!

I was in the middle of building a "juice rack" to hold all my flavorings. Is the diameter of the bottle any bigger on the new ones?

Yes they are. Not sure exactly how much though

That makes me sad. I hope its not more than a 1/4 inch. If not I got a sweet spice rack though. `_(:)_/'
