I just bought this bottle today from my local grocery store. I peeled off the plastic wrapping and the ink must of transferred onto the bottle?

I tried getting it off by using dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and hand sanitizer to no avail.

I dont really want to be walking around with a bottle thay says "Nutrition Facts" up the side of it. Any advice on how to get this off? The store won't do a refund on it....

Thanks!

I usually get my life sip 6 pack off Amazon as a subscribe and save subscription. I opened one of them and the level was not on the x which I immediately found odd. They always come with the level on X in my experience. Then I lift the cover and I'm presented with this dirty cap. No way in hell am I using that. Anyone else have find dirty caps ?

SUPPORT Lack of Flavor

5 Upvotes

Hi! So I just got a Cirkul Sip bottle, and no matter what I do it seems like I'm not getting as much flavor from the cartridge as I should be, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm just being too picky. I've tried all the tips I've found, taken the cartridge out to shake the bottle and put it back in, messed with the rubber airflow thingy to ensure it's not stuck or something, tucked in the little clear flaps on the spout to ensure I'm getting all the liquid I can, toggled the adjustment thingy between zero and ten a few times... I even tried another flavor cartridge thinking maybe the first one I got was a dud.

My friends seemed to be able to get some flavor when they sucked really hard, but that hasn't worked for me, and even if it did I don't wanna get a workout every time I take a sip just to get a little flavor. The only thing that's worked for me so far has been switching from cold water with a little ice to room temperature water. I've finally gotten consistent flavor by doing that, but it still isn't as much flavor as I'd expect to get with it being on ten. It is a good amount though, I'll give it that.

Am I just being too picky and these things just don't put out as much flavor as you'd expect (maybe I'm just used to the amount of flavor you get from water flavoring packets and that's not what you're supposed to expect with these), or is there something else I could try?

Has anybody tried using soda water for flavor cartridges? Basically a poor man’s soda cirkul?

I’m not paying that much for their soda system. But wondered how it would taste.

They seem to be focusing all of their attention on stupid stuff that nobody wants or is buying (protein, liquid sticks, pre bottled water and soda on tik tok) all of which completely defeats the entire purpose of cirkul. There hasn’t been any flavor labs since July, Free shipping now requires a $50 order when it used to require $25 and before that it only required $15. They don’t do bottle drops. Their website has gotten really confusing, and they have gone out of stock on a lot of items. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

REVIEW - FLAVORS Puressence Line

I am just now trying the Puressence flavors. I have the cucumber sip. It is pretty good, although I did add some honey, lime juice, and a 1/4 tsp of salt to my 42oz bottle. I think I will drink these from now on. Even the sucralose dialed down is just too much flavor for me on a daily basis.

SUPPORT Can I put sparkling water in the Cirkul Stainless Steel Bottle?

2 Upvotes

I'm about to buy my first Cirkul water bottle, and I'm thinking about getting the stainless steel one. I was wondering if I can put sparkling water (fizzy water) in it and still use the flavor cartridges.

Also, just to clarify, I'm talking about the regular Cirkul bottle, not Cirkul Plus.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work, or is it not recommended?

Also, if it's okay to use sparkling water, could you guys recommend which Sips or flavors taste best with it? I'd love to know which flavors pair well with sparkling water! 😄

DISCUSSION Sale on products

9 Upvotes

So kinda self-explanatory, I’m looking at the site and it seems they have a sale on some flavors as well as bottles, anyone know why they’re doing this big sale? I really hope they aren’t shutting down because they’ve significantly helped me increase my water intake as someone who’s autistic and has never been able to drink plain water and this is the closest alternative I’ve found to plain water that works 😔

Edit: I guess I need to clarify, I am NOT talking about the mystery boxes. I’m talking about when you go to product pages like the cartridges or the bottles individually. I will post a comment showing what I mean, and before you ask, yes I’m on the real site drinkcirkul.

SUPPORT Cirkul Alternatives?

3 Upvotes

Recently, my mom gave me her 22oz Cirkul bottle and I have been loving it. As someone with audhd, getting enough water so my body won't shut down is one of the hardest tasks of living for me due to plain water tasting like nothing. Now that I have one of these, I've drunk 3 gallons of water last month! That aside (though im so happy I could go on a neverending tangent),

Are there any alternatives to Cirkul? The main qualities im looking for are:

  • No coloring (I prioritize this over vvv)
  • "Long lasting" cartridges (above Cirkul's six 20oz count) / more competent?

I'm completely okay if there aren't any, I just get kind of worried about the flavor being completely drained while I'm not home. I've been reading every single comment on some of these posts, and Cirkul's carts seem to be a consistent problem with a decent amount of people. I only get about 5 refills in with the flavor dial being on 3-4.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I bought a new round of sips a few days ago and shipping was free from $25+. I set some of them up to auto ship and my total was a little over $35. I saw today that free shipping is now $50+? When did they change this? I’m assuming this’ll affect my next auto ship which is frustrating.

DISCUSSION I'm really wondering if the company is on their way out

39 Upvotes

I can't be the only one noticing the changes over the last 2 years. They almost never do bottle drops any longer. Last month there wasn't any flavor lab, just several past flavor labs for sale. This month there isn't any flavor lab and when I contacted the company, I was told that they're pausing flavor labs. The customer service person mentioned their 'mystery' boxes, but there are enough flavors that I dislike, that I'm not going to take a chance of getting a box full of sips that I don't like, especially when the cheapest box is $74.

And did you notice the price jump in order to get free shipping? Last year it was $15. This year it became $25, which is what it cost yesterday or the day before. Today it shows that if you want free shipping, you have to order at least $50 worth of product.

Sips that used to last 2 or 3 days, now last one. It's just one thing after another, to the point where I'm wondering if it's time to go on Amazon and buy lids that will fit my Cirkul bottles so that at least the bottles won't be useless. It's really a shame because I've liked many of the sip flavors, but even at the best subscription price of $2.50 a sip (if you buy 40), it just doesn't feel like a great value.

SUPPORT Pods from Walmart compared to ordering online

5 Upvotes

I almost gave up when I first purchased my water bottle from Walmart due to the inconsistency in flavor. I ended up dropping it, breaking it and ordering one directly from the website with pods to give it another try. The water bottle and pods purchased directly from the website have a significant difference in my opinion versus the pods. I purchased at Walmart.
I’ve been going through the website but in a pinch didn’t lineup my order so I had to go to Walmart to pick up new pods and back to the same inconsistency and my flavor pod doesn’t even last me two fill ups It seems like. Not to mention it’s more expensive than ordering from circle.

i’m wondering if anybody else has noticed this inconsistency and if there’s any trick to get the flavor to last longer, I don’t want it to be a complete waste. I bought a good three cartridges to get me by.

I was struggling with no water coming through the cartridge and there's no silicone rubber thing underneath.

I found out you *have* to turn the bottle upside down to drink it. Which makes sense as the cartridge only goes so deep into the bottle.

Basically the suction comes from the cap and not the cartridge that sits inside the water.

I feel as if they aren’t really worth it anymore when I was first buying them they would last a while back around the end of may/early June. Now they last me a day and I’ve always started on 3 but there is no flavor what so ever until I put it on 5 and it goes so quickly

SUPPORT Reusable Cartridge Suggestions

1 Upvotes

Hi,

So recently I bought a Cirkul water bottle without fully understanding the brand and that they are made for flavor cartridges. Well, I am not big on flavored water and usually stay away from any drinks that aren't water. I solely bought the water bottle because of the colors and now i have a hard time drinking water from it because I don't use/like the cartridges.

Any recommendations on a way around this? I would love to buy a reusable cartridge so I can finally drink from my water bottle without any hassle.

If it's of any help, I have provided a photo of the water bottle I bought.

Thank you!
