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.

I like that there is a focus on measurable results, however I wish people would be less resistant to posting and discussing new compounds/experiences, if only to get the ideas and occurrences 'out there' more, so to speak.
Of course the whole subreddit filling up with nothing but anecdotal experience would suck, but if it was confined to a specific post for each compound I think it would be interesting. Kind of like how /r/drugs has the drug-ama series, maybe we could have discussions open for a specific compound in a single thread.
With that, people would be able to find a lot of info on a specific compound on a single page, which I think would be really useful, as information on nootropic compounds is a bit spread out, lol.

I kind of agree, and kind of disagree. I think there is a lot of confirmation bias when aggregating anecdotes like that. One person sees that X compound had this effect, and another person think they are getting the same effect as well. As time goes on, everyone thinks they should get a certain effect, so they echo that in their own anecdotes. That is the big issue with having everyone immediately post their reactions to substances.
