I received mine today and tried the pod with watermelon, and for me and my son it really taste like water with watermelon taste. I can agree with the issue about the bubbles in the straw but that's the reason why it works. You get water and air in your mouth and the air "smell" its way into your nose through the swell.
It definitely works for me, it depends on the person. Some people are more sensitive to taste in others so for some people it's gonna work better and others it's not gonna work at all really
So far, I think the coffee one is the strongest for me. I would give it a level four in terms of it, being a strong taste to just drinking water on its own @@5MinuteSchool

I received mine today. Gen 2: Sage (it is the light green colored one). I was very skeptical about this product. The way it was sold to me, makes you almost believe like the water will taste almost like some kind of lemonade. It does absolutely not. If that is what you're looking for. Stop looking, it does not exist, unless you mix your water with something that will make it so. I have developed a very strong sense of taste and smelling. I can practically pin point what ingredients are used in a dish and I am rarely wrong. Well, while the Wild Berry scent seems strong for other people I spoke to about the Air Up, I can definitely smell it, I can most definitely taste that water tastes different than normally, but I can't taste the Wild Berry at all. I most definitely smell it very strongly, but it's not "tricking" my brain into taking the scent for taste, which is essentially what Air Up is "selling". It is 100% activated as I hear and see the bubbles as well as I drink. Can also confirm that despite the Gen 2 advertises that it is closing better and does not leak. It does in fact leak a little bit. No matter how tight you screw it shut. As shown in the video, you need the closed lid in order for it to be completely shut and even then... there is some leakage. Do not put this in a bag together with other valuable things. It will be ruined. I have of course yet to try any other tastes, but so far I am very unimpressed and it sort of confirmed my skepticism. Hope this helps anyone.
got mine today and it works not a strong taste but enough to have a taste as for the bubbles stopping you from taking too much i dont think its something to take to the gym to quench your thirst its more just sipping through the day i started the carnivore diet so my taste buds may have changed to make it more noticeable
@@5MinuteSchool Then I’m not sure. I guess it really depends on the person. You don’t need to sniff or anything cause most people naturally breathe in while drinking water so the taste comes.
I got mine at wal-mart. I bought 2 one for my girlfriend and one for me. For some reason her's worked perfectly fine but mine didn't. I was able to go swap out mine for another one for free becasue of the warrenty. Maybe your's is just defective like mine was.
I thought that too, but the instructions at 1:04 says for Flavour on, no need to pull pod up. Flavour off to pull the pod up. Other videos say to pull the pod up to taste but I think this is the new bottle.
i just got mine i got lemon rasberry flavor i honestly think it has flavor its just i think the flavor i got tastes bad over all pricey has flavor ( not as much as you think ) do not get lemon rasberry@@5MinuteSchool
Hey man, I thought that too but it seems on this bottle you don’t need to. The instructions at 1:02 say place the pod on and it works straightaway, and it also says pull the pod up to deactivate.
Honestly, if you really want a strong 💪🏾 flavoured bottle. Try Cirkul, even though it has sugars it has a strong taste. I have a air up bottle but personally I like air up wayyy more. I’d recommend lemon pod just for its strongness 😍
Ordered for my kids (8 and 12) and honestly a complete waste of time and money. Kids were super disappointed and could only get an unpleasant chemical taste, nothin like the delicious flavors advertised on the pods. Wife and I tried them and same little or no plesant taste sensation. My kids used them as a water bottle... in fact the trend went around the school and after a few weeks was dead as none of the kids really enjoyed. End of the day parents paid for a very expensive (leaky) water bottle. When you also look at packaging and waste... this is worse than coffee pods!!!
Hey :) Actually the website says there is supposed to be air bubbles as thats how the scent/taste is transmitted. It is called air up after all 😂 support.air-up.com/en_gb/so-many-air-bubbles-rJQZZ9RM3
What a trash gimmick. Thanks for reviewing to confirm what I already knew, lol- Not that I would have wasted cash on it anyway. Let's be real; this is a load of 'hot air'.
My honest review. DO NOT BUY! The thing is that I'm impressed that it works but I don't like the fact that you are sucking lot of air along with the water. Not a satisfying feel and a whole lot of effort to sip a bit of water.

Wonder how it compares to rimming a bottle with lemon peel, etc
Rimming 😏
Contemplating getting one, it really works?
Not for me personally, I wouldn't recommend it as it's quite expensive and I think it has quite a few flaws.
Yeah, I watched a few more videos and I changed my mind about it, thanks though@@5MinuteSchool
Raspberry lemon is lovely.
Waste of money for me 😮
yes i got one for my birthday a few years ago and ive loved it it does have a nice taste to it and the pods last for a few days aswell
It definitely works for me, it depends on the person. Some people are more sensitive to taste in others so for some people it's gonna work better and others it's not gonna work at all really

Thanks for your thorough response and review, I 100% agree with you. Sadly I am no longer using my air up bottle. I might put it on eBay

What pods do you have?
@@5MinuteSchool using apple just now and the lemon isn't bad i got the cherry cola but i wasn't keen on it the watermelon is supposed to be good
I think it depends on the position you hold it in. I think holding it upwards will give the taste
Trust me I've tried it at multiple angles lol

@@5MinuteSchool like $25
im sorry but im pretty sure not 100% sure that you had the pod down i think yuor supposed to have it up to get the flavor (correct me if im wrong)

do not get lemon rasberry@@5MinuteSchool
also i almost forgot it says on the intructions that i got to pull the pod up if you still have the bottle try it maybe@@5MinuteSchool
U were supposed to pull the pod up right after pressing it down
Hey man, I thought that too but it seems on this bottle you don’t need to. The instructions at 1:02 say place the pod on and it works straightaway, and it also says pull the pod up to deactivate.
@@5MinuteSchooltry the bottle when it’s pulled up
I definitely can't taste anything but water when I pull it up. When I just press it in place I get the smell of the pod. Its quite weak though...
The hole doesn’t put flavour in. It’s the smell to trick the brain
This is gen2 where you don't have to/can't pull it up. It's in place when you pit it in.
Everything you said is true
I got a gen2 from a friend today to test. I can't taste anything... Wildberry but I can't smell anything... disappointing...
Is this a 600ml bottle or 1l air up
600mL
how long does each pod last
Around 1 week
@@5MinuteSchool they say each pod lasts for about 5L, if bottle is 600ml then about 8-9 refills.
I just received mine today. I am the same as you, waste of money. Smell the pod then only taste water lol. Do not purchase this product.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Which pods did you try?
Danng :( mine works and i have gen 2 and lemon.
You dont need to pull the pod up to activate it.
Mine works u just need to have 0 expectations and get the right flavour
It works for me tho, I have gen1
what flavors work the best
Honestly, if you really want a strong 💪🏾 flavoured bottle. Try Cirkul, even though it has sugars it has a strong taste. I have a air up bottle but personally I like air up wayyy more. I’d recommend lemon pod just for its strongness 😍
Hey man! Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into it. I haven’t heard of this brand before.
lol they dont supply to UK
no one wants the sugars though
Incorrect, every flavor of cirkul is sugar free
cirkul is delicious
I thought that my bottle was broken or something because of these bubbels. So thank you for opening my eyes 😊
For some people it just doesn’t sadly but yeah
Doesn’t work *
Try sparkling water,its much better.
Definitely will!
I really like mine
Which flavour pods do you recommend?
@@5MinuteSchoolpeach or ice tea
@@5MinuteSchool I recommend peach and chocolate orange is like a nice dessert after dinner
@@tajausgameplaytbh i hate ice tea, it tastes like liquid haribos.
Did you read instructions?
Of course I did
Btw the springy thing is because you have an active on mouth piece so the pod is always activated
Ahh makes sense. Thank you!
Do you have the Old air up or the Gen 2?
I believe this is Gen 2
I got mind from Amazon it does not taste like orange
Can you taste anything?
I thought this was a bottle that carbonated soft drinks. 😂
Haha the name is a bit confusing
Btw if you have like a dark air up bottle it makes it hot
Couldn’t hear you properly because of the unnecessary background music.

i got my air up yesterday and i had some spillage problems because i made it full and not to the neck
for a water bottle that costs 4000(all flavors included) in my country this seems like a waste of money
I agree with you. Which country are you from?
@@5MinuteSchool bangladesh
@@Roarless yeah so this cost me nearly 7000 taka. It’s definitely not worth it
@@5MinuteSchool i can probably buy a years worth of juice with that much
You put the straw on wrong
I followed the instructions. I even tried it the other way people are suggesting and can taste even less
Isn't the whole shtick your spouse to 'taste' it thru smell only cuz they are connected, there is no flavoring actually added to water
Exactly, but I don’t feel it’s strong enough.
When you get air bubbles in the straw it means you put the straw on wrong. 😂

Let's be real; this is a load of 'hot air'.
Glad I saved you some money :)
Waste of money, it's £6 for the flavours, cheaper just buying a normal bottle of juice,
Definitely, you’d actually be able to taste something too!

The thing is that I'm impressed that it works but I don't like the fact that you are sucking lot of air along with the water. Not a satisfying feel and a whole lot of effort to sip a bit of water.
I tried it. This thing was $20!!! What a waste of money.
Could you taste anything?
Hex nah
Hold up
If you mean hold it upright, I am doing so
It’s just a gimmick. For me tastes of nothing
Same for me. I prefer to just use a cheap glass bottle with a bit of cordial.
Ai ai ai Ur doing it wrong
No I’m not
