Buy Fury Mustang G.I. Canteen (Black) Now
For $7, I wasn''t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised when the canteen arrived. It isn''t really tough hard plastic but it also isn''t going to leak water either. And most of all, I''m very happy with the cover it came with. The cover seems like it''ll do the job with no problem, the little pocket on the front of it is perfect for a lighter, and on the inside the lining is made of fuzzy material, which makes it very easy to get the canteen in and out of. Altogether, I would recommend this canteen.. can''t beat it for the money!Very poorly made the seams pulled out after putting the canteen away for the first time. Do not waist your money.This is without a doubt the best canteen ive bought online, its rugged and firm, and doesn''t leak. Highly recomended.Double Wall Vacuum Stainless Steel Water Bottle Save 35% off

The good:
-It''s very stylish. I get complimented on it all the time.
-It is very durable, build wise. I have dropped it a lot and banged it forcefully into the sink while trying to shake the water out quite a few times, and there is only one tiny ding in it, that I would not notice if I didn''t know it was there. The paint has held up nicely as well.
-The top is nice if you want to hang it off your bag. However, I don''t recommend this, because the bottle (when full) is usually pretty heavy and just ends up swaying a lot when walking.
The bad:
-Right away, I noticed that the top spills when you open the bottle. When closed, the top is solid. However, when I have it in my bag, tossing around, some water gets stuck between the cap and the lip of the bottle, and this water squirts out as soon as I open the bottle. This is very annoying, and always gets my hand wet.
-When you open and close the bottle a lot (something that is expected from everyday use), the lining on the thread of the bottle peels off. This happened to mine a month or two into using it. It still closes tightly, but the bottle needs to be lined.
-The lining itself seems to go bad after a while. At first, I had no problem with it. However, a month or two in, the water inside the bottle started to taste funny, kind of rotten or stale. I''m pretty sure that that is not supposed to happen.
Final thoughts: this is a really cool bottle, and holds up to stress nicely, but I can''t trust the water that I drink out of it anymore.I found out today that this type of water bottle, that I bought specifically because it was BPA free, was not in fact BPA free and the company was aware and did little to notify the public of its false claims that lead to its recall. I was very happy with my SIGG water bottle, but I am not willing to pay $7.50 to have it replaced with a water bottle from same company that is claiming that the newer liner is now REALLY the safe version. I thought that''s what I paid $20 for 2 years ago. I do not trust SIGG products, I would not recommend using any of their products.

Ordered several of these for our family as we drink so much water throughout the day. We have been trying to cut back on using throwaway bottles and the Siggs make it easier to try and do that. Our kids especially appreciate the fun designs; the lids are easy for them to use as well.One caveat is that it is a little harder to clean than some other bottles, but overall we prefer the Sigg more than any other bottle out there.

One of the raw foodists recommended this bottle and I bought it. I only used the bottle for about 1 1/2 months and the liner near the mouth started to peel away. I tossed the bottle away and didn''t even bother to contact the company. Don''t waste your money.I have 4 of these. I like them they''re okay for what I need them for they''re a pain in the butt to clean if you don''t use a dishwasher... and I only like the spin cap''s because I REALLY hate the push in type. I dont even really like the spin cap because I do a lot of driving (Green I know!! lol) and its not always easy to put them back on and they kinda get pressure built up so it squarts when you open it. And you cant put ice in them. Ohhh well... they work for now.NCAA USC Trojans Fairway Stand Golf Bag

Vapur 0.5 Litres Anti-Bottle
Posted by

on Saturday, November 9, 2013
I bought this bottle for international flights. Basically, I thought it would fit better in the seat back pocket, and I could fold it up and then refill it after going through security. And for that it works well.
Also just a few general comments:
(1) If you lose the sports cap, you can also buy a pack of 4 regular screw-on caps. You probably won''t lose those as much.
(2) Yes, the opening is rather small, but a lot of reusable containers suffer from this same problem. Sigg Bottles, SodaStream bottles, and Kor''s hydration vessels, for example, also have this issue. It is common with many reusable bottles.
(3) Perspiration can happen to any uninsulated vessel. Cold, heat, and humidity interact and cause sweating, and a regular plastic water bottle, soda can, car windshield, cold pack, etc. will all sweat under the right circumstances.
If you want to be satisfied with this product, a buyer needs to be realistic about how they will likely use it and the purpose it will serve. Don''t expect it to be the best of every bottle that ever existed: just use it where it is best used and consider how it works better than other bottles under the same circumstances. I bought one Vapur for school, because at the end of the day I hate lugging a big empty reusable bottle back home. The Vapur bottle was just about perfect. My only complaint is that can be a little difficult to hold until you get used to it. Now I hold it near the cap, instead of in the middle like I''d hold a rigid bottle.
I am buying four more to have in all of my purses. I find the size to be just about right for an eight-hour day at school; I drink other things there as well so it''s not like the Vapur is my only source of liquid. Plus the Vapur is easy to refill from a faucet or water fountain so it''s not like I have to carry all the water I need with me when I leave home in the morning.
About washing them I only drink water from mine, so I''ve never had to wash the bottle. I rinse the cap off now and then.
I''m not sure why others are so obsessed with the clear plastic cap that goes over the spout -I never carry that with me. When the spout is down, it''s not going to come up unless you intentionally pull it up.
One of the reviewers complained about condensation, but ANY bottle that doesn''t have insulation will do that if your climate is humid. I haven''t had a problem with undue condensations.

This is a functional product and is great for those urban travelers among us, who dislike carrying too much bulk (seriously, my purse is operating at maximum cram), but also who have access to refill stations (water fountains, washrooms, home, office, gym, etc.). From this perspective, the small size makes perfect sense and because of its flexible body, it can even squish under a low tap and catch something.My complaint is that it doesn''t last. Just 5 months of daily use and it cracked a leak where the bottom folds. This happened rather suddenly, so I was able to remove the bottle and dump the water quickly, before it soaked my desk. Maybe the bottom should be a silicone or rubbery material instead? In the mean time I''m back to my old Nalgene. This is probably also a recommendation against taking in on long trips, or for use in extreme temperatures.

As of this writing, there are 16 other 1-star or 2-star reviews clearly indicating that this is a fake, knock-off originating from China. Upon receipt, it becomes clear that in terms of both aesthetics and craftsmanship, this is a shoddy and second-rate version of the genuine Vapur bottle.Do as I will now: Purchase ONLY Vapur Bottles in stock by Amazon Prime and (more importantly) sold by Vapur themselves.I purchased these in several colors. Three of the items are genuine, however, the orange bottle that I purchased was clearly marked as "Made in China." Genuine Vapur bottles are all made in the USA. Disappointed with the purchase, but I''ll be keeping it because it''s a gift and I don''t have time to exchange or re-purchase.

Fit & Fresh LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle

eliminate dependence on expensive bottled water (that just adds to landfills).
Fit and Fresh has a very pretty bottle design--mine is in a periwinkle blue. The top screw-on/off part is where the replaceable filter goes. The bottom two thirds is wehre you add tap water. It feels good in the hand and is pliable, since you need to press the bottom section to push water through the filter and into the pop-in/pop-out dispenser sports-type top in order to drink.
Here''s the problem: Pressing the bottle forces air through, so you get air blowing into your mouth before the water comes out, and this is kinda uncomfortable. If you keep your lips closed on the top, it''s very uncomfortable. I keep my mouth open and squirt it into the space below my tongue in order not to get my throat air-blasted.
If they could alter the design to make the filtration more comfortable (say, let you flip the bottle over, then drink in a few seconds), this would be a great product. But the squeeze method made me have to remove the stars.
I also am concerned that the sports-pop-top is going to break off. It takes a bit of "pull" to get it to come out, and I fear it will give after a short time to that sort of yanking.
Pretty, but far from perfect. Still, I''m gonna use it at home, where the awkward aspect of drinking won''t be embarrassing.
MirI agree with a lot of the reviewers. I was very excited to buy this item as my office does not have a water cooler, but I''m looking for a new alternative. The filter does not snap in place like it''s supposed to. It gets stuck on the lid and the bottle "drools" all over the place. I had to bring paper towels from our kitchen to keep at my desk so I could constantly wipe the water that dripped on my desk and on myself. I think it was poorly designed. Great idea, but unfortunately it did not work for me. I don''t want my water bottle to give me a shower everytime I take a drink from it.

This is a nice water bottle...I received one in lime green & blue (shown). They hold 20 oz of water & the filter is in the top part you screw off. You have to squeeze the water into your mouth...it doesn''t come out as well if you suck it out. Overall...a good product to use daily--will decrease use of plastic water bottlesRead Best Reviews of Fit & Fresh LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle Here
I write this review with unfiltered water all down the front of my shirt and pants! The fit&fresh bottle cracks and leaks before the filter needs changing! I''m on my fourth free replacement bottle and have never had to change a filter because the replacement bottle is sent from Liv Pure with a filter. The company stands behind this product and replaces it for free, but it is not worth the aggravation.It''s simply bad design. The plastic bottle needs to be pliable so you can squeeze it, but that creates a weak spot where the cap/filter assembly screws on the bottle. Within 2 months a crack appears where the threaded part of the bottle mouth meets the bottle body. The crack is hidden by the large filter/cap. You drink from this bottle in the same way you''d drink from any bottled beverage in that you have to lift it to your mouth, put your head back a bit and angle the bottle so the water can be forced through the filter by squeezing. But you don''t realize it''s leaking until you set the bottle down. The water that leaks out while you''re drinking fills the empty part of the large cap and then pours out all over you as you set the bottle down! Not cool while at work!
I would not recommend this product.
Want Fit & Fresh LivPURE Filtered Water Bottle Discount?
I have both the LivPure and Bobble bottle and a ruler here in front of me while writing this review. I purchased this bottle at my local grocery store as an additional filtered water bottle and I will be returning it. Because of this, I cannot speak to the burst of air that comes before you drink that so many other reviewers have attested to. What I *can* tell you that when the Bobble bottle is tipped upside down first, it does not do this: Bobble BPA Free Water Bottle, 18.5 Ounce I have owned a Bobble bottle for about six months now and much prefer this product it. Here are some pros/cons of the LivPure bottle so that you can make your own determination as to whether it''s for you.Fit&Fresh "LivPure" Water Bottle
(-) is not BPA-free (makes no claims, at least)
(-) is not Phthalate-free (makes no claims, at least)
(-) bottom of bottle is slightly rounded, not entirely flat; wobbles slightly when put on table
(-) unit too tall; when empty, it tips easily and feels lop-sided
(-) no cap for mouthpiece to keep it clean. Ew.
(-) mouthpiece not replaceable (*it is with the Bobble)
(-) inside filter doesn''t seat easily/perfectly on its own (other users have reported leaks when O-ring slips or isn''t seated properly
(-) design not curvy enough to make it easier to hold in hand (Bobble is curvier)
(-) material on lower half of unit is slippery (but so is Bobble''s)
Pros:
(+) mouthpiece is molded to fit the lips (it fits my lips, at least)
(+) mouthpiece is protected by the curved-top design, so it won''t break off easily
(+) top piece of unit has rubber grip material on outside
(+) good, slim profile for fit in cup holders/water bottle slings (~2-3/4") (~1/8" slimmer than Bobble)
Comparison of the material of the "LivPure" vs. Bobble:
Where the Bobble bottle plastic is more like a (much) harder version of regular water bottle you''d buy in a vending machine (like Dasani), the "LivPure" bottle is made of a molded plastic. There are actually two "seams" on the sides of the bottle, much like you would see in a cheap bottle you''d buy at Walmart or a dollar store. The plastic is the kind that has an almost shiny exterior and slighly oily finish. It is so cheaply molded that the bottom is rounded and does not sit flat on the table, a very poorly executed design.

nothing more, nothing less. Trimming is required, but a sharp knife does it. Scissors...not so much. Need to replace this every few months, even with regular washing.
