Coluracetam discussion: sublingual vs oral?

I'm surprised at the lack of discussion on coluracetam going on! It's been out for a little while now (a week or two?) from New Star Nootropics and Nootropics Depot.
What do you all, who've acquired it, think about coluracetam?
Do you think oral or sublingual dosing is more effective?
What doses have you been using?
How are the effects?
Personally, I have been doing between 10-15mg both sublingually and orally. I can't discern which is the more effective method. Oral seems to potentially last a bit longer, but is likely more subtle. As far as the effects go I would say I'm not quite sure how much cognitive benefit I've had, however what I have noticed is that, overall, I'm happier! There is a notable amount of sociability and anxiolytic benefit. When I think back about my day and previous days, I notice that I have a more positive outlook.
This is all subjective and I can't rule out placebo, but it's been my experience thus far regardless.

Please first send your newsletter subscribers notice when it becomes available! FYI: I subscribed but never received confirmation, might want to check your newsletter function?
For me a major concern w/ coluracetam is based on what I've read about the need for very strict quality control when dealing with the manufacture of this... that ScienceGuy thread elsewhere made me nervous about this product being sourced from China. I know NSN and ND put up documentation for their batches but it's all squiggly lines and Greek to me.

We have not sent out any newsletter updates as of yet. That is probably why you have not received anything. We will be sending one out shortly for the new products being released, and will definitely send one out once we have real and tested coluracetam back in stock.
The coluracetam synthesis is not any more dangerous than other substances. The issue is that China was trying to scale up their synthesis route once all the suppliers started asking for it. In that process, they were attempting to do it for cheaper. However, they kept failing to reach the purity levels required. That is why it has been taking so long. The stuff we received was not even coluracetam. That is a supplier issue, not a synthesis issue. Once we actually get pure coluracetam back in stock, we will be having an NMR done to create reference standards for it. Then anyone can send their sample into Colmeric to be tested via HPLC.
