I've never run across a bottle of Jungle Juice with a green cap; only black. Perhaps this is some new packaging that will make the rounds in due time.
There are, however, two different formulas (three, if you count the unimpressive Platinum), and each of the two formulas has a slightly different colored label: one is a pale gray, one is a darker gray.
Darker gray contains isopentyl nitrate and is the better choice. Lighter gray contains isopentyl nitrite and is still pretty damn good, though it seems to have a shorter shelf life as far quality retention after opening.
If the cap colors are now being used for coding -- well, cool. It was just as easy for me to check the shade of gray on the label. In fact, I just picked up some JJ at the local ABS and asked the chick behind the counter to tell me if she could notice any variations in label color (the poppers are sold under the counter and customers are just handed whatever they ask for). She let me look at the case; they were all the lighter gray, which was fine in a pinch.
I explained the difference to her; I'll explain it to you, too.
Regardless of cap or label colors, the bottom line is that the bottles of JJ are clearly labeled on the side with the chemical contents.
So just look at the side of the bottle. If it says NITRATE, that's what you want if you can get it. If it says NITRITE -- that's not a bad second choice at all. In either case, the binding agent will be isopentyl.
The difference is that nitrate is a bit stronger, smoother, and lasts longer. It is also not for sale in the United States. If you run into it, consider it a lucky accident. Nitrite products are OK to sell in the United States.
Do note that NO poppers are legal to SNIFF. But you can sell them and you can purchase them and you can possess them -- just NEVER admit that you sniff them! They are "room odorants." That's your story and you are sticking to it!
So if you find an agreeable and pleasant ABS clerk (I think this gal likes my chest, even though I'm pretty sure she also knows I'm gay), you can ask if they'll let you browse the bottles if they are not kept on display. Sadly, it seems a whole lot of ABS clerks are rude fucks who would rather you just fucking leave them alone. You can't really ASK for nitrate. My female clerk had no idea of the difference. She said: "So if someone asks for that in the future, I can't really talk about it with them," after I told her about the two varieties.
Take your chances and see what you can get. The difference IS noticeable, but it is also fairly slight. If YOU look at both bottles and find out what the chemical composition is with the green cap and the black cap, please let me (us) know. It would make picking them out at an ABS a little easier. Meanwhile, read the labels if the clerks will let you.
HINT: you can get lucky with mail order sometimes. Try it.
