Flavourart Concentrate bottles (blue lid) How To Remove?

[Pepperty]

Was just about to mix, its flavourart, large blue top, took some doing for me to open top....you squeeze side groves to flick open. But inside its a built in dropper ( no separate plastic nib you can normally get finger under and ease out ) I cant get the bloody top off! 


Does someone have a trick for removing entire blue part? Ive twisted it, tweaked it, yanked it but scared i'll do it so vigerously I'll end up wearing it and clutching an empty 10ml concentrate bottle

Empty it into another bottle

cant get lid off....would take serious squeezing to get some out. For now I used a very teeny needle and tilted bottle to extract 0.3ml. If its a larger amount I shall use the measuring cup, but then I wouldnt be able to put surplus back in ....as I cant get damn lid off

I have had loads of them bottles and i just squeeze the liquid out into my glass bottles..agreed they are tough plastic but doable.

Pepperty there is another way how to get the liquid out.......

1st: Get your empty bottle ready
2nd: Place the Flavourart bottle about 50% into your bottom
3rd: Aim at the empty bottle
4th: Clench your butt cheeks

Woolah..all done

I did like my butterscotch but went off it weeks ago never made a mix of it, I always bought pre-made. By the sounds of it I wouldn't want a bottle of the concentrate from flavourart anyway coz of the lid problem

[Pepperty]

hahah well I know perps basically drinks it neat so I'm not sure where to start ..
New lid on F-Arts is a BEAST!

Do you have access to a vice and a small grinder???
Take it to shiny buttocks and apply!!

I hate those blue tops as well. You can get them off, but is really hard and you risk breaking the neck of the bottle. Flavourart seem to of dropped them, or run out. Last two orders from Flavourart Italy I asked specifically for the original bottles. Last order they said they are not using just now. Previous order they supplied standard bottles and replied with a speal about the new bottles.

The new bottles, which required us months of development and big cost for moulding, have been created to place our products in proprietary bottle, which have been ISO certified for child proof by German institute (and there are few bottle supplier that can claim the same.)and manufactured in EU with best materials available.
Embedded needle is suitable to fill 90% of e cigs around, there are few we know is not possible.
The blue cap is hard to remove and it has been intended to avoid refilling, if you could remove is an exception as a lot of torque is required to do that, with breaking of inside o ring.
About hardness, please try to push around bottle as we have a soft spot tailored to ease squeezing.
For DIY we still sell cheap empty Chinese bottles.
We are sorry you do not like them but we see a big step forward to image and quality we strive for.

Cordiali saluti/Best regards,

in that case - it'll have to be the needle on syringe, blu-tack wrapped around for seal and tipped upside down until drained!! Thanks for advice (except for shiney!! )

Should have given it to a 3 year old to open, they can open childproof bottles in seconds.
