Product Description
Tough as nails and relatively lightweight at 9.8 ounces, the Vargo Para-Bottle features a wide-mouth opening that’s compatible with most standard water filters and accessories. Its titanium construction is completely biocompatible and won’t leach or corrode, and the narrow profile makes for a better fit in your hands and your backpack’s bottle pockets Read More
I need to get another one of these, but it’s not in the budget right now. I made the mistake of putting this in the freezer filled with water, and I forgot about it. The bottom got pushed outward and now it won’t stand upright.
Lesson learned: Don‘t put this in the freezer.
MrUndertowDid you try hitting it with a hammer? Titanium is fairly ductile, I bet you could at least get it to stand upright. A good hammer can solve a good many things...
I don’t get why this is so heavy considering it’s titanium. The bombproof larger Kleen Kanteen stainless steel widemouth weighs 5 grams less and cost $29.
I use mine to boil water all the time with no issues.
Kleen Kanteen specs:
40 fluid ounces (1182 ml)
9.7 ounces (274.9 g)

I'm a ultralight gear junkie and like items that will lower my pack weight. Looking at this bottle as something to hold a liquid ( water ) in. I'll have to stay with the Smart Water bottles , durable and extremely lighter ( empty ) weight.
This bottle is very delicate, I dropped it on the first use and it got severely damaged, it was beautiful and now it’s ugly. I guess the lesson is: don’t drop it.
You must not use titanium that much then. I'd also like something tougher, but titanium is expensive and sought after because of looks, ability to keep things insulated naturally, for cooking and for being lightweight. They are tough in that they won't pierce on you or leak ever, but you can bend them. Titanium in these products is all malleable I have found dude.
Love or hate this bottle, that's up to you. But if you want a laugh, Amazon Australia has this bottle listed at $487!!!
Now I'm a gear rat but I think I'll sit this one out. 🤣
Not sure why everyone wants to put this water bottle on blast.
Some of us just don’t want toxic plastic, aluminum or other impurities that aren’t human compatable, The only other safe or safer options are glass or stainless steel. Do your own research about what you are putting into your body.
Either you want it or you don’t. If you appreciate this sort of thing, Go for it it’s way more durable than the Vargo’s Titanium 750 bottle. However I still like them both. Yes it’s single walled No it’s not meant for ultra- light, It is meant to be damn tough. Beats the hell out of drinking from a military canteen or hydration pack that Leach their own flavors into the water. I could give a damn about what other opinions are over price or material. I like what I like.If you don’t like the asking price move along and find what suits you.

TitaniumSoldierEasy there, Sergeant Slaughter!
You're really earning that check from the Titanium Resource Council, aren't you?
lol except you see that the titanium bottle weighs MORE than a steel bottle that is triple-walled and insulated and has the same volume...

m0arpheusYou realize you're coming across as ridiculously defensive in these comments, right? Perhaps you need to step back and let the bottle sell, or not, based on its own merits.
you mass peeps should have started this drop after tax season, more disposable income such braggadocios purchases.
but... in defense of the price there is more that goes into production of this than say a 700 ml cookpot which has a simple flat top. they can cost 60 + dollars. so although expensive look around at the market and other Vargo branded ti products. and the lid looks rather robust.
