Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking.
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly. Check that the silicone seal within the lid is clean, properly seated, and free of debris. Verify the flip straw is fully closed.
Drink is not staying cold/hot for expected duration.
Pre-heat or pre-chill the bottle with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before filling with your desired beverage. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly. Refill with very hot or very cold liquids.
Difficulty drinking from the straw.
Ensure the flip straw is fully extended. Check for any blockages in the straw or valve. Some users may need to tilt the bottle slightly.
Metallic taste persists.
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Try cleaning with a mixture of baking soda and water, then rinse well. Ensure the bottle is fully dried after washing.
Exterior has condensation.
This indicates a failure of the vacuum insulation. Contact customer support for warranty assistance. Ensure the lid is properly sealed, as a poor seal can sometimes contribute to minor condensation.
