Review on 🔍 Optimized for SEO: Vargo Titanium Water Bottle by Will Rahman

I see. It's a bottle and expensive, but at the current price ($50-$60 depending on cap color, for some odd reason) I think it's reasonable for what you get. Unlike aluminum and some stainless steel bottles, titanium will not leach out over time and you can be assured that it will last you a long time. It's lightweight, you can boil water if you don't have cleaning tablets handy, and it's structurally sound. Will there be a dent? I don't, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a scratch appears here or there after months and years of use, because that's what happens with regular use with metal water bottles. If you're really, REALLY concerned about dings and dents over time, consider getting a bottle of Nalgene that just scratches, doesn't dent. I liked that I got this bottle with a plastic cap and not a titanium cap. I have a Vargo Titan BOT, and while I love it for hiking, there's a distinct metal-on-metal noise when you twist the lid. Personally I don't mind, but I know the situation would be different for a bottle I would use regularly in a room with other people - I don't think my desk mates would appreciate it. if only they could hear the "nails on the board" every time I needed a drink. The plastic cap eliminates this problem. When you first get it, you'll hear an unmistakable "titanium echo" as you open and close the lid, but it fades as you use it, and the acoustics drop significantly as it fills with water. If you're still bothered by metallic noises, you can simply grab the neck of the bottle when unscrewing the cap, which also helps to muffle the acoustics. I am annoyed by the reviews (both on this site and on Vargo) that they either screwed the cap on incorrectly or it came loose with use. I haven't had a single problem. I suppose it would have been possible to misthread the threads if they hadn't bothered to straighten the threads and started twisting the cap like some kind of gorilla hybrid when they met resistance. This can easily be corrected by spending an extra 2 seconds checking for correct threading and a slight twist. If the thread is right, then it turns easily. If there is resistance (and I assume you took the advice to rotate it slightly) you will have no problem reversing the direction of rotation to correct threading before resuming normal movements. I seriously needed to do a tutorial on carving a metal water bottle? Apparently yes, because I've seen enough feedback from people complaining about it. Now that this tutorial and review has been published, you don't have to be that person anymore. Loosening the lid or clamping the opposite and creating some sort of vacuum are also easy fixes. If you really want to tighten it, slip your middle finger through the hole in the cap and wrap your other fingers around it (your fingers should be pointing down toward the bottle when you're holding it) and hold it so you can have it the power of your whole hand instead of multiple fingertips. Use your other hand to twist the bottle one way and the hand holding the cap twists the other. You now have a tight lid. To unscrew, do the same but in the opposite direction. Was there a vacuum? The lid has a silicone ring. If you have a small pocket knife or flat object, you can work that under the silicone ring and lift it to release the pressure, much like opening a new can of pickles if you don't want to click on it. open. Now it doesn't bother you anymore. The lid is wide enough to put ice cubes in, but since it's not insulated, condensation collects on the outside. It doesn't bother me too much, but if you're a fan of neatness, the nature of titanium metal leaves fingerprints when it dries. Again, this is easily fixed by cleaning, and if you have a special cylindrical brush for cleaning water bottles, it will easily fit in. Overall this is exactly what I expected. If you're interested, I'd say go ahead and take it.
