Stainless Steel Water Bottle

[Mac'nCheese]

Anybody switch from buying plastic bottles waters every day to a stainless steel bottle like The Coldest One and have any weird issues? Like all of a sudden you get really chapped lips or any aches and pains?

Discussion ongoing at work and wanted more opinions.

So buy better quality.

Have had Klean Kanteen a long time. Never any issues.
They are super good quality. Have a lot of their bottles and mugs and stuff in all different sizes and colors.
They last forever too.

Haven't heard anything like that, and my side hustle is designing the outside of those bottles.

Aren't you losing weight? I ask because I recognize your user name from the fitness thread. If so and you still are, there's your reason. What you describe would be the result of extremely tainted water and or badly manufactured stainless steel that's not what it claims it is and is leaching heavy metals.

Lack of B Vitamins and low fat leading to decreased hormone production would be my educated guess if it's from diet.

Yes I am. But the weight loss has slowed down. I started taking vitamin b once a day, too. I think I need to go back to bottled water for a bit and see if that helps.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Vitamin B what?

 

[Mac'nCheese]

Vitamin B what?

Its super b complex IIRC. the bottle is at home. When I used to get chapped lip all the time, I started to take that and it cleared up. Then I would go off the vitamins and sometimes the chapped lips would come back and I would start the vitamins again and they would go away. now, they aren't going away. and it use a chapstick at night which used to help

I’ve been using a Hydro Flask for several years without these problems.

Recovery isn't instant. Even in low vitamin D patients, it takes considerable dosages daily if not a large once weekly dose to raise and maintain low levels. Ideally, we should be able to get all of our nutrients through food alone, but it simply isn't feasible before you take dietary complications into matter.

That said, any extreme weight loss will cause problems that can't be remedied by exogenous supplement use. You can try maintaining you weight for a couple months and then continuing on, letting your body stabilize a bit and letting hormone development and function to continue.

We have a bunch of stainless steel and plastic reusable water bottles. Never had that problem.

I actually prefer the plastic Thermos/Under Armor ones that open with one button click. Easier to use at the gym, when driving, etc. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Niss...5252&sr=8-3-acs&keywords=thermos+water+bottle

Is that anything like what Zojirushi makes?

Very similar, yeah. Just cheaper and with a simpler locking mechanism.

Well I’m back to Poland springs for a test few days. See if this dry mouth and chapped lips thing goes away. If it does, it’s the bottle or the filtered water at work. I’ll the. Use bottled water in the stainless steel bottle
To see if it comes back. If not, it’s the work water.

I went back to plastic Poland springs and no more dry mouth or other issues. I now want to dry using my ss water bottle with Poland spring water in it. I just haven’t gotten around to it.

We’ve been using Contigo insulated bottles for years. They get so used we’ve worn out and replaced lids on the older ones.

 

[puma1552]

I've been using a Yeti for a few months with no issues because there's nothing quite like a $50 water bottle.

/s

But for real, I like my Yeti, even though the cost is absurd.

If you've got a Sam's or Costco membership, they sell tumblers, bottles and whatnots in bundles from time to time during the year.

Yeti and Thermos are good. I'm not sure how Stanley ranks these days. They were excellent back in the day. With a lot of these things, I prefer a bottle with a simple cap or growler. Anything extra like Zojirushi's and you're increasing surface area you cannot reach during washing which leads to bacterial sludge growth.

This is the one I have, which was $40:

But then I bought this cap for $10:

I like that you can buy different caps, and that they are replaceable if they get nasty. That said, they are made of top notch polycarbonate and so far no indication of getting nasty. But if it does, I'm not out a $40 bottle.

Actually, that's not what I was referring to. Those are easy to keep clean. Though that dual cap design looks sweet. I was referring to the flip top tab style bottles that you can't quite clean without breaking. Thermos used to or still does make some mugs that are difficult to clean unless you clean them every day of use with a solution, like hydrogen peroxide. Ideally, you want a bottle to have the most straight forward travel from interior into your mouth or cup.

The Thermos mug I remember having the issue was a cap that was dual layer with an area of dead space in between the two pieces which you couldn't physically clean without breaking the cap in half. I'm not sure what contributes to the biofilm and sludge, but I imagine it's a combination of particulates in the air, backwash (saliva), dead skin cells and the wetness that remains.

i have a yeti also but i got it as a gift a few years ago
i probably wouldnt have paid that much for 1 myself but i like it and will probably replace it with the same model

all 3 are still good and i have a few mugs made by thermos and stanley
the simple cap is great because its easier to clean
