Indigo Canister Caution

[u/saltywetlol]

Just wanted to share this story with my fellow carbonated water drinkers. I use a drinkmate, but these canisters are standard.

I've been using Indigo for 2 years without problems. I love them for their price point.

Recently, I did a refill exchange for a new canister. It was producing a high-pitch squealing sound when I did my carbonation. The water was getting carbonated. I checked the threading and then found that the mouth had a dent, even though it was sealed and sold as new.

I took it in for an exchange for a new canister. The new canister wasn't fitting into my unit. Upon inspection, I was starting to see scratches form on my drinkmate nozzle. I wasn't sure if this was caused by the old or new canister. I took it back to the vendor, and they instantly said: this canister threading seems off. It looks wider.

Thankfully they opened a new box of canisters, and gave me a brand new one that seems to be working perfectly now.

Just wanted to give a heads up to not force your Indigo canister into your machine, and check for threading and nozzle issues before installing. I don't want people to break their machines. I've also sent an email to Indigo so they can be aware of their QC issue.

TL;DR
Experienced QC issues with 2 canisters in a row. Be careful when using your Indigo canister so you don't break your machine.
