Today I've read reviews from people who've purchased $59 nail clippers, $99 titanium water bottles, and even some who spent $36 to replace a key on their keyboards.
We are doomed!
1. It's nontoxic, including the cap, which does add some weight over Ti bottles with plastic caps that some consider to be potentially too chemically reactive and leechy.
2. Its 1 liter size makes it standard volume for water purification chemical treatments.
3. It is single-walled (instead of double-walled vacuum insulated), which allows for boiling water over a stove or campfire to purify it for drinking.
I have no issues with mine, and would buy it again.
jramosWhy not just buy the "Boundless Voyage" one? It's over a litter, Pure Titanium, Machined cap with silicon gasket, and $90 on amazon (even cheaper on ebay). What makes this Vargo version worth the difference? Full disclosure, I bought the BV one over a year ago and it's worked just fine, so perhaps I'm biased.
Alternative:
-Hydroflask Trail: vacuum insulated holds 946ml, 11.8 oz in weight, and cheaper at $78 and with free shipping.
I've had my old school Hydroflask for 6 years now and while it's all banged up, it still works fine.
I just got this Vargo Ti EDC bottle (delivered today, (6/11/19) from Amazon Prime, in the “Warehouse Deals” section for significantly less than the full retail price. I paid just $86 after tax. It arrived in brand new condition and while I haven’t actually used it yet, I do like the size and feel in hand. The lid produces a horrendous metal on metal sound but I think that can be mitigated with a little food-safe lubricant of some sort. I’ll have to research that. Any suggestions?
(see screenshot: there were 2 items in my order, which explains the total cost being higher than $86)
allemanderTi on Ti threads do that. They grind, have sandy feel to it and make noises.
I'm not sure if food grade lube will help much. I wouldn't want to taste or feel the lube on my lips every time I drink out of the bottle though.
allemanderI own the competitor to the Vargo (Boundless Voyage), which I think is probably coming from the same Chinese factory. In any case, if I'm right, the Vargo should have the same threads as a Nalgene bottle. I bought mine a camelbak plastic cap and it's worked flawlessly. Keep in mind, plastic is really an issue when the liquid heats and comes in contact with it over time. As long as this bottle is kept vertical, the liquid won't touch the cap (which is BPA free in any case).
Lol, come on guys if you pay 100$ for a bottle no matter the material he is made from, that insane! Don't let them make so much money from you guys. The price will go higher and higher if you buy...
Lol, travelling should be easy, cheap and free
AvivGranot21I agree that it is a lot to pay for a water bottle. To add a little perspective though, processed titanium prices increased around 50% the last few years, but that was from the lowest levels seen this century, which if I recall correctly were approximately 5x times higher just over a decade ago. If they head back up toward those previous highs, titanium products will become much more expensive than they are now. So, for those who have the budget, this may be as good a time as any to get titanium gear. A few years back I got a nice titanium canteen cup with nested bottle and sling in a MassDrop bluebox for around $90. The product sells for $160 the last I checked, so even though $90 was a stretch, it was worth it for me (the other blue boxes I backed turned out to be duds, so maybe it wasn't such a great deal in the big picture :( ). Titanium gear will last a lifetime and often many more, so in the long run it can save money and headaches. I've learned my lesson too many times from cheap items breaking, and ending up costing more in replacements, so I generally prefer to wait and save for high quality -- US-Made whenever possible. Titanium is also the best choice for avoiding gender-bending plastics as well as dementia-causing aluminum food and beverage containers :).

matt999Some people like to have their water container be able to go over a flame. I do a lot of cold weather camping so I hate heating up cup after cup of water to get the amount I need for various things (not everyone only heats up enough water for a freeze dried meal). Right now I have a stainless Nalgene and it weighs almost 14 ounces. This only weighs 8 (probably less if you replace the lid with a standard Nalgene plastic lid). My toaks 750ml cup nests perfectly under bottles of this form factor so it seems like a good option for my needs. YMMV.
