Excellent, Lightweight Water Bottle

Excellent Water Bottle! As durable as my stainless KleenKanteen and almost half the weight of a Nalgene (which weighs in at 6.7oz on my scale, while this Vargo bottle weighs 3.8oz). You're losing about 25% capacity over a nalgene (32fl oz vs 24 with this bottle), but I bought the lightweight Sawyer water filter to keep handy and fill up more often and carry less water overall (I use to carry two full nalgenes).This bottle is about the same height as a nalgene, but with a slimmer profile, which is much more pleasant to carry and store. The entire bottle is made of a matte/brushed finish titanium, including the cap. The exception on my bottle is the threaded area on the cap is polished smooth, probably because of complaints of the noise that the metal on metal makes when screwing on or off. I've read other reviews about this noise. Doesn't bother me at all. Reminds me of a WWII canteen my grandfather gave me as a kid. There is also a robust silicon ring in the cap to seal it shut.It's exactly what I expected to get and I'm quite happy with it. There's nothing fancy about it, but it's titanium, so it'll last a lifetime if you care for it. More importantly, you don't have to worry about chemicals or metallic taste leaching into your water. And you can put it in a fire and boil water, if need be (with cap off, of course).Did I mention it's VERY light ;)Update: Since writing my review I went back and read some of the bad reviews and I would just like to address some complaints. I purchased my bottle in April of 2016, maybe some of the bad reviews received older versions, not sure.-Does it dent easily? No. Will it dent? Yes. I have a fair amount of hand strength and if squeezing it, using my thumb as a pressure point, as hard as I can, right in the middle I can begin to press the sidewall in. Which means I probably can permanently dent it, which I won't do. The point of titanium pots, pans, water bottles, etc. is that they get a good strength to weight ratio. That doesn't mean that you're going to get a bottle with the same thickness walls as a stainless steel bottle. It means that they can make the walls a bit thinner, because titanium retains good strength with thinner walls, thus eliminating that much more overall weight. Titanium isn't indestructible, tho. If you drop this bottle on a sharp rock it's going to dent. So, don't do that.-Leaking cap? I've had mine full of water, flipped upside down for the last hour... No leak. I'll leave it overnight just to make sure. If you leave any water-filled object in the sun the rising temperature of the water creates pressure (ever heard of a steam-engine). The seal can fail (and should) if the liquid inside begins rising in temperature. That being said, one of the great things about this bottle is you can put hot liquids in it... and even boil water in it. It's not insulated so don't expect those liquids to stay hot, but at least you don't have the worries of leaching chemicals like with a Nalgene... Just sayin.-Bad lid? The lid squeaks. This is your warning... it is a slightly dull metal-on-metal sound. It's not loud, nor jarring. It just is. It doesn't bother me in the least. The threads on my cap and bottle are great and I haven't had any issue with cross-threading... not even sure it would allow it, beings that it's such a tight fit. The cap threads are polished metal, the inside of the mouth is the same matte finish. I haven't had mine long enough, but my guess is that over time it will get smoother and smoother, until one day there is virtually no sound. If not, I'll update this post. So far this bottle has been great!This bottle beats my Nalgenes for weight, strength, durability (long-lasting), being chemically inert and I can boil in it. What more could you want?

Wonderful, but prone to damage and develops a funny taste

I've owned this for a few months now, it's held up wonderfully, but is quite thin and prone to damage easily. It holds water without leakage, thanks to the removable gasket, and is extremely light. Lighter than my old plastic bottle. It looks great and is quite versatile for out in the backcountry. I'm a huge fan of titanium, I can cook with it, carry it without adding on much weight, and don't have to worry about plastic entering my system when using. In my opinion, it's a bit expensive for what you get, but I'll still gladly pay for it, no other competitior of theirs makes a bottle quite like this one. My only gripe is an odd taste that seems to come and go with this bottle every now and again after a few months of use. Not too worried about it, but something to note.

Trial by fire, a true survivalist water bottle

If you are looking for the bottle to take with you into the bush I highly recommend this bottle for a number of reasons, but the main reason that no one in their reviews are acknowledging is that the O-ring (the rubber water-tight seal thing) is engineered to be on the lid, not the main bottle itself. This is perfect for boiling water on a campfire in your bottle.Yeah, that is right; I've put this thing IN A FIRE at least a dozen times now and BOILED WATER for purification, pond-scum/stream water flowing in the wilderness at that. And it's still doing fine. I must say even though the melting temperature of titanium is 3034° Fahrenheit or 1668° Celsius, and most wood fires are about a third of that I heard. I haven't put just the bottle in there without water to absorb the heat so that evaporative cooling will keep it from getting up to a thousand degrees Fahrenheit. So I don't expect the bottle itself gets much higher than the boiling temperature of water. Titanium will not melt at this temperature, but it could weaken for all I know from heating and cooling like that. So in short I just don't put it in the fire unless it has a good amount of liquid water (or frozen ice and snow) in there and I'm fairly certain it's not getting more than a few hundred degrees, but I'm just guessing here.Obviously, the lid should be removed when boiling, preferably a safe distance away from the fire. I never bothered to test it, but I'm certain the O-ring would melt if it gets too close to the fire.Every water bottle I have seen before have either plastic or rubber built into the main bottle itself until now. As far as I can tell, this is the only bottle to have a boil safe design. Whether it was intentionally designed or not, it works wonders nonetheless.There seems to be a lot of people complaining here about how this bottle was made in China or its metallurgy is not one-hundred percent titanium in construction. The claim that this is not 100% titanium is seemingly based on the fact this bottle will dent if full of water and dropped onto concrete from five feet in the air. (Steel bottles will too unless they have thick walls.) Titanium is not Adamantium, it dents just like steel, its real structural quality here is that it's lighter than steel. This is better for backpacking. This bottle is not invincible nor is it advertised in that way. I am no scientist, but I did some research and this has all the properties of 100% titanium as far as I can tell without doing some destructive testing.What I do know for certain about the metal on this bottle is that it leaves no taste whatsoever in the water, even when water is stored in it for months. It is virtually non-corrosive, especially when exposed to a wood fire. (I find steel, including stainless, rusts like crazy when exposed to both flames and moisture over time.) Any soot rubs off easily after boiling. There is no burnable paint or logos on the surface, the “TITANIUM VARGO” label is completely intact after surviving many fires. This thing can dent (as mine did) if it's full of heavy water and dropped on a rock or hard surface from shoulder height. All my dents (three) are very small, superficial, and do not concern a U.S. Army combat veteran like myself.I read a review where a person complained about the sound the lid made when screwing and unscrewing the cap off. My girlfriend at the time (I broke it off after she kept insisting that I reenlist in the army) complained about the noise too. I'll agree the first forty times or so you screw it on and off it squeaks a bit, but it's not loud at all. I'm not sorry to say that people who are turned off by a little squeak need to stop being a wimpy bat-eared pessimist (like my ex-girlfriend.) The squeak goes away after a good polishing from natural use, if you prefer, a plastic top version is available. Vargo Titanium Water Bottle, Black Lid And yes, that lid is BPA and BPS free according to them.Its somewhat slender body shape helps for heating water quickly and tucks away in many backpack compartments. It measures 9 inches (23 centimeters) high with the cap attached and 2.5 inches (7 centimeters) wide at the base.Room for improvement? Yes...IDEA #1- I think for safety's sake making it more robust would be better, I know its adding weight and probably cost to the whole thing. Maybe adding “ribs” to the body would help. But whatever you do Vargo, keep all rubber and plastic off the main body of the bottle!IDEA #2- The cap is quite hollow, it has the volume of an Altoids tin. If a compartment could be designed into the lid so I could keep waterproof matches or just some random survival equipment in there it would set this bottle apart from all the others even more. But whatever you do Vargo, keep the O-ring on the cap!IDEA #3- A loop on the main body of the bottle would be interesting. I had to tie wire around the neck so that the bottle could be retrieved from a hot fire with a stick. I bet a better way could be designed in the bottle. A small hole where a large key ring could be threaded would be nice, especially if on both sides. I'm not precisely sure how to pull it off, but it could be done I think.IDEA #4- A easily removable neoprene sleeve (preferably sold separately) would be nice for anyone looking for more thermos-like characteristics. Aside from keeping drinks cold and fingers unburnt, it could protect the bottle from dents. Assorted colors would be a bonus for those turds who care about their water bottle fashion. (I'm not one of them.) If anyone knows of an already existing neoprene sleeve that works on this bottle specifically, please let me know in the comments.In conclusion, if you just want a normal bottle this will do fine. Yes it costs a bit, titanium is not cheap stuff. But if you are looking for a bottle to put in a survival kit or take with you on camping trips I must recommend this bottle above all others from what I have ever seen or tried.7/5/2015 Update:Strong and very reliable, bottle is used almost daily, taken on every camping trip, stored in hot cars, placed in fires countless times. Turns heads at the campsite when you put the bad boy right in the flames, and people start asking you where you got it. Still works with zero complaints other than an enhanced survival version would be appreciated.*Helpful boiling tips, safety, and water purification tactics for survival situations:-It should be noted that you should not put the lid back on the bottle while transporting potentially contaminated water in it before being boiled. Crap-your-pants microbes would slosh onto the lid and perhaps under the O-ring. You could recontaminate your water when the lid is returned to the bottle, making your efforts pointless.-Stopping the bottle from tipping over is of course a good idea, but use caution if you use any rocks, bricks, or chunks of concrete, they can contain pockets of water on the inside and explode (Although rarely) when placed in a fire. The main risk with this is an eye injury from tiny chunks of brick, rock, or concrete flung at BB-gun speeds in the middle of nowhere. Throw your platform rock in the hottest part of the fire, do something else at a distance for ten or so minutes to make sure it is safe.-Figure out (channel your inner MacGyver now) on how you are going to safely retrieve your boiling water bottle from a burning fire BEFORE you put the bottle in there in the first place.-Let your water get to a full-blown raging boil, and let it continue to boil for one minute after that point. You can go longer, but you don't need to go that far. There are microbes that can exist and even thrive in boiling water (such as deep sea vents) but none of them are harmful to you as I am told. Your water will be safe to drink (As far a disease is concerned, not necessarily chemically) once it cools.-If chemical contaminates are a concern remember to investigate the water supply. Dead fish? No life, or little of it? Find a place where wildlife seems to be doing fine in and around the water. The farther upstream you go the safer the water is, that's a fact. If you get your water from a large river or lake it's quite possible that boats have leaked petroleum, natural existing (or human caused) toxic minerals or carcinogenic compounds have washed in from upstream. Get your water from small ponds, streams, even rivulets instead. (Not roadway or man-made drainage however, that's very stupid.) If there anything is in there, it is almost certainly in smaller amounts. Consider it the difference between using someone's private home restroom as opposed to a commonly used public one. The smaller the body of water = The less likely anything unhealthy could have happened to it up stream.-You can always use a filter to pull out chemicals before, or after boiling. Of course there are many that are sold for this purchase, you can make your own quite simply with few supplies:Assuming you have a fire you should have access to fire-made charcoal, your most important ingredient. Carbon absorbs many reactive chemicals and those black chunks of burnt wood in your fire are mostly carbon. In the army, our nuclear, biological, and chemical, protective suits used carbon laced fabric in them, no plastic or lead-lining, but carbon. This also includes the air filters in our gas masks, they are high grade carbon. Get your hands on a large funnel, or use a soda-pop bottle and cut off the bottom inch. Use a thin fabric (cotton works well) like a handkerchief or T-shirt to place at the bottom of the filter to let water pass and hold your charcoal from slipping out the small hold in the bottom. A coffee filter piece of paper towel can work just as well too. Place crushed and powdered charcoal (wood-ash itself is okay, but the crispy black chunks of burnt wood are best I've been told, after you grind them into black flour) on top the cloth or paper you placed at the neck of the funnel or bottle. Use as much as you estimate can work, but not too much, or your water will never come out the bottom. Place silt or fine grain sand layering over the black powdered charcoal. Then step it up to a layer of thick grained sand. After that, you can step it up again to some pebbles or small gravel. The importance with this layering is not stopping chemicals, but making sure that your filer can work for a few minutes before you may need to reset. If you used just carbon small bits of leaves and mud would quickly build up on the fine grains of carbon and it could stop working on you faster than you might think. Having sand and gravel catch these and let the rest flow around to your precious chemical neutralizing carbon last longer to pull out harmful reactive chemicals. You may need to remake your filter multiple times as it slows down with use, depending on the particulate matter in your water supply.-Doing a “pre-filter” through only a cotton T-shirt, or similar coffee-filter-like medium, really helps in my personal experience, whether you are using a homemade or commercial water filter.-Always boil your water after using a Homemade “MacGyver-trademarked” filter, unless you have no choice. Carbon from a campfire does not guarantee harmful microbes are eliminated, and the sand and gravel could recontaminate your water. Homemade filter first, boil last.-It is always better to take a chance with unpurified water than take the certainty of death with dehydration, unless ending your own life is your goal, wherein I recommend you seek professional medical help immediately.-Do not drink your own urine, boiled or unboiled, and ridicule anyone who does it or says it's not a bad idea.-Distilled water obtained from your own urine is perfectly fine however, albeit unfairly considered weird by most people.-A campfire water distiller can remove most, if not all, harmful chemicals traditionally found in water, not just only salt. But those are much more complex and hardware intensive to make. (Also potentially dangerous if you accidentally make a steam powered hand grenade.) The water would already be boiled after this, so boiling it again in this water bottle would just be silly.*I'm not responsible for you. Just because I, or anyone else, said so does not mean it's true. Although, I will tell you my tips are correct, you should not blindly assume so, and research this subject for yourself if it's a concern to you.
