Review on IBasingo Titanium Ultralight Wearproof Backpacking by Chef Buntiloy

Pros: > Great value - $32 for titanium? Yes, please. > Ti - doesn't impart a metallic taste to the whiskey - I was disappointed that I ruined expensive whiskey in my stainless steel bottles. my flasks do this) > Has a quality cap, good knurling although the threads are a bit grainy. Don't worry, they will flatten out with use. > Silicone liner is precise and elastic - seals tightly with minimal effort (no wet pocket). > The neck diameter is perfect for controlled pouring into a glass or onto the lips without spilling. The flask pours well at 45 degrees. > Relatively light weight at 3.25 ounces dry. Cons: > 200ml is fine for my personal use, but when I'm a Christmas party, which is my mission for this bottle, I'm too stingy to bring a $100+ bottle of whiskey to watch people make, like her like dr. McGillicuddy and then shooting tells me how "soft" she is. However, I love sharing with curious family members/friends. I suppose I can always buy 2 bottles which I can easily do but a larger option would be nice. Then again. I can put cheaper scotch in the second bottle, oh I was distracted. Notable: > Has a high quality silicone seal in the lid, but I personally prefer Teflon. Some wise people point out that drinking alcohol itself poses a greater health risk than consuming trace chemicals that convert silicone into ethanol. However, I replaced the gasket with a .060 Teflon gasket because I can. Small threaded cap ID 0.522" (original silicone seal 0.550x0.080). Just in case you may be 'one of those people' like me. : As with any new bottle, you must clean yours before use - that is really necessary. Since I replaced the gasket with a teflon gasket, I use acetone and then rinse well (acetone dissolves in water.) Do a leak test with sodium bicarbonate water (baking soda heavily mixed with water) overnight it on one end, on the side and then on the other end.By the way, all slow leaks leave a white residue when the water dries, while at the same time the sodium bicarbonate refreshes the bottle and removes any off-taste (this also works with stainless steel bottles). rinse with hot water and turn upside down to drain - lay on the heating register to dry without closing the lid If you have a silicone gasket, use Si e no acetone as it will attack the silicone - you can try a cheap cloth. B. alcohol (< 90%) or vodka, after filling, simply rinse out several times while shaking vigorously (leave an air gap). Soapy water or vinegar would probably be a suitable substitute - just don't mix bicarbonate with vinegar :) Also, be sure to label it every time you fill your bottle with toxic solvent so you don't accidentally poison someone. If your drunk uncle unknowingly takes a big gulp of acetone (sweet) and falls dead at the kitchen sink, neither I nor the amazon want to hear about it. Good luck), or rinse and dry without closing the lid to avoid odors. If you don't have a bottle funnel, you probably want to throw one in your shopping cart. The inner diameter of the spout is 0.40 inch.
