But in bottles you have scalping. After a few days I can notice the CPF'ed IPA's are lacking in the freshness which I guess comes from the Myrcene oils, they are being absorbed by the lining in the crown. And when scalping occurs, the lining also slowly loses its effect to keep oxygen out. So you're losing voilatile hop aromas, and letting oxygen in over time.
I've gotten another CPF-filler which is easy to use and works great, and filled a lot of bottles since I started this post with the new one. But this is for all IPA's I'm tasting from a bottle, they don't have that delicate freshness which I feel is better preserved in a keg. In any store bought IPA I've tried that freshness has never been there.
