My issue with Cirkul is economic. I currently buy cases of water (24) 16oz bottles, when on sale it cost me about $7 for two cases. (My tap water is literally undrinkable, one must boil it first). I buy Mio when on sale for around $2.50 and regularly buy the Walmart brand water flavors at $2.50. One flavor bottle from Walmart yields about (12) 16oz water bottles for me. Cirkul claims that one flavor pack at $3.75 will yield (6) 20oz bottles. I drink about 64oz per day, which is (4) 16oz bottles. So that is $3.75 for two days of water assuming claim is true versus $2.50 for three days of water. Assuming the Cirkul yield claim is true that would be $7.50 for about three days of water. Looking at water cost, I would save about $3.50, give or take because I would be buying the gallon jugs instead of the bottle cases. Then there is the claim of the flavor packs yielding (6) 20oz bottles on the medium setting of 4 or 5 per Cirkul. I have read and seen a number of reviews and the thread I notice is that at the medium setting, the flavor pack will last and average of up to (4) 20oz bottles. This leads me to conclude that Cirkul is using the same matrix as inkjet printer manufactures. They say an ink cartridge will yield 100 pages, what they don't tell you unless you dig and force them is that 100 pages is for print the size of a driver's license, NOT a full page. The full page yield is closer to 13 to 20 pages depending on the manufacture. This tells me that one can get (6) 20oz bottles from Cirkul provided one uses setting 1 or 2. So by my math (4) Mio type flavors = $10 vs needing (8) Cirkul pods to get equal, which is $30 and the yield would be half. So while the Cirkul offers more flavors and is interesting, it is not that cost effective.
Hmm, did you check their FAQ out? There is a little rubbery thing on the inside of the cap, you should flip it a few times. I just bought mine and don’t have a problem drinking from mine.
Hey love, I’ve used cirkul products for years and I’ve had the same issue, try this, under ur lid there’s a clear rubber thing, all u need to do is like get sum sharp like a knife or sum, go in between it and just wiggle it around gently, then try and drink from ur bottle, some lids have that malfunction, and that has helped me get better airflow, I hope this helps, let me kno if it did🥰
I have a question. I recently bought the stainless steel one at Walmart, and I want to know how long the drink cartridge lasts. I've had mine since Saturday, and sometimes I get flavor, and sometimes I don't. To get the flavor, I have to have it on 6 or 7. Since you've been using it for four years, how long does a cartridge last for you, and what number do you have yours on? Thank you.
@@Christmasloverbeth it just depends on what number u have your flavor set on, I’m between a 3-5 on certain flavors, my flavors on that setting last me bout 3-4 22oz water bottle fill ups, I wish they lasted longer tho, as far as the 32oz same level, I get maybe 1-2 fill ups
@savage_baddie_98758_ Okay, I got the 40 oz bottle, and the flavor I chose was Frosted Pink. I guess it's supposed to be like Starbucks' Pink Drink, and it is really good. However, I had to turn it up to 7 to taste it. After 2 days, I wasn't getting any more flavor. I took it apart, and there was still flavoring in the little bag. I put in a different flavor to see how it's gonna work. If these don't last very long, they should be cheaper. I've seen videos on how you can take them apart and put in your own flavoring, so I might try that and see how it works.

Yes I did and it says nothing about this part.
