Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking.
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the silicone seal is properly seated. Check the flip straw mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Make sure the straw is fully closed before storing.
Drink is not staying hot/cold as expected.
Preheat or pre-chill the bottle by filling it with hot or cold water for a few minutes before emptying and filling with your desired beverage. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly.
Difficulty opening or closing the flip straw.
Check for any debris that might be obstructing the straw's movement. If it feels stiff, try wiggling it gently. Ensure the lid is not overtightened.
Metallic taste from the bottle.
Wash the bottle thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse well. If the taste persists, try soaking it overnight with a mixture of baking soda and water. This usually indicates a manufacturing residue that should dissipate after initial washes.
Condensation forming on the exterior.
Ensure the lid is properly sealed and that the outer wall of the bottle is not compromised. If condensation appears, it may indicate a breach in the vacuum insulation.
