Cirkul 12oz. BPA-Free Plastic Water Bottle Starter Kit for Kids with Blue Lid, 2 Flavor Cartridges (1 LifeSip Fruit Punch, 1 FitSip Mixed Berry), No Sugar, Zero Calorie Drink Mix

I won’t go into too much detail, just my experience and recommendations. Cirkul really works for encouraging non-water drinkers to stay hydrated. I’m living proof.Some may think, “I can just buy a water enhancer packet or bottle, I don’t need this gimmick.” And while that may be true, the difference for me is the ease and functionality. With Cirkul, I can adjust the flavor instantly instead of juggling two bottles or being stuck finishing and refilling one. I just fill my bottle with cold water, and the moment I get “tired” of plain water, a quick dial turn adds flavor. When I’m ready for plain refreshing water again, another turn brings it back. Simple!“But” here’s what you need to know.Getting the advertised 120 oz of flavor comes with a learning curve. The advertised amount of refills or usage is not misleading, but there are details to consider:• Choose the right bottle size. Don’t buy a massive one if you won’t finish it in due time. The flavor cartridge drains when left sitting, especially if the bottle stays in the fridge or you don’t remember to set the dial to off. Smaller bottles encourage “fill, use, refill.” Larger ones only make sense if you know you’ll empty them. Point being don’t get into the habit of leaving it in a fridge to sit. Fill and use.• Turn the dial off after sipping. Don’t leave it sitting on a number, this wastes flavor.• Sip, don’t chug. If you vacuum or hard-chug with flavor on, you’ll drain the cartridge faster. Your level 6 will be like getting a level 8 (You’ll get a huge flavor burst and then your cartridge will just finish faster)• Avoid freezing the bottle. Freezing messes with the cartridge and there’ll be less space for actual water to flavor in the bottle. If you prefer cold water like I do, consider putting icy cold water in or adding ice.• It’s common sense math. Yes, you can get 120 oz at the DEFAULT setting of 3. But for many of us non-water drinkers, that flavor is insufficient. My sweet spot is 5-6 which gives me ~64oz per cartridge, maybe a bit more. I want to put into perspective that this is a bit more flavor than a capri sun roarin waters drink. This is all variable but I will say, don’t expect six 20 oz refills (120oz) at anything stronger than a 3 setting. Usage is cumulative and not additive, at any setting higher than 3, you’ll get less and less flavor per cartridge. Hope I’ve covered it all.As others have said, most of the flavors are great. My son enjoys them as well (make sure to buy the non caffeine cart for kids, they are marked to easily recognize the type. If it’s a lightning strike, not for kids). My wife also loves it as well. She’s not big on drinks or juices but does want a splash of flavor now and again and now she’s found the perfect thing.I fully recommend this bottle.

Super durable, easy and delicious filters! This water bottle is for all those people who don’t like to drink plain water. Fill with ice and enjoy!

This makes me want to drink more water. The flavors are amazing. Being able to adjust flavor intesity is a plus. Bonus - its zero sugar and calories.

It’s a really good product and the flavors I’ve tried so far all taste good. The only problems are that one sip/flavor does NOT last six refills, only about 3 depending on how much flavor you like. Also it makes you drink it in a way similar to a baby bottle, and makes a bit of noise. Other than those two things, it’s great and hasn’t gotten me bullied so far.

Great water bottle! Got it for my 8 yr old son and it works better than expected. His first flavor was blueberry grape, and the more you turn it up, the better it tastes. It’s a total game changer-he drank a full 32oz in under 2 hours. Great buy!

I’ve really enjoyed using the Cirkul 32oz Starter Kit! The bottle itself is lightweight, BPA-free, and easy to carry around. The flavor cartridges are a game-changer—both the Blueberry Grape and Kiwi Berry tasted great without being overly sweet, and I love that they have zero calories and no sugar.One thing to note is that the pods can be a bit pricey when buying locally, but with a little research, I found ways to cut costs. ;) Youtube was great for this.Despite that, this system has definitely helped me increase my water intake, which is a huge plus! If you struggle to drink enough water, this is worth trying. I'm on a weight loss journey, and this has been great for me.Pros: Great flavors, customizable taste settings, BPA-free bottleCons: Flavor pods can be expensiveWould I recommend it? Yes! Just be mindful of the cartridge cost.

For context, my mother told me about these things; she had just purchased one for herself and one for my niece and raved about it; the concept was fabulous, and maybe it would encourage her to drink more water. Spoiler alert: I just called her to let her know I recently purchased them, myself, and she said she still has it on her nightstand, halfway full -- from the first time she filled it up!My mother and I are pretty similar. We are terrible water drinkers and we prefer, for the most part, the same things. So, on to my experience and review:I was excited to try this out, so I purchased one at my local sporting goods store. It was a kit with 3 flavors. The flavors were pretty good - what you would expect with any water flavoring, and I was excited about the concept of having a dial that would allow control over how much flavor it was dispensing. However, one thing I didn't like, is that you really have to suck the bore of the bottle to get liquid out - similar to that of a child's sippy cup, albeit, not a whole lot comes out. The kicker, is its also NOT a squeezable bottle - so it's hard to really get a lot of liquid down, as I would like.What I also found, is that typically I always had my bottle on number 2, just enough flavor, but the long I drank from it, the more I realized the flavor was increasing. I tested this theory by raising the number to 6 - very flavorful - and going back to 2, and lo and behold, it was just as flavorful.This may be why, for my final, but most important CON, that one cartridge only lasts for ONE 22 oz bottle of water.Yes, you read that right. ONE CARTRIDGE = ONE 22 OZ BOTTLENot six, like they would have you believe. I get it. The advertisement says "can be up to 6"...well, tell me why, a #2 drinker cannot even get past a full 22 oz? It's false advertisement, plain and simple. Unless of course you have it at zero (pure water) and the flavor slowly will dispense out - wouldn't surprise me!Any way, now lets get to the cost and ethics of what compelled me to purchase this. The market that this will save on buying plastic bottles, which, yes, that marketing has been around for ages - hence the success of Stanley mugs and the like - but what grinds my gears is that these cartridges are not sticking around for six refills - they're one and done. So, how much plastic are THEY made up of? Seems like a lot. They also will cost you approximately $4 a pop. That's one expensive drink, plus shipping, etc. etc.Seems like a lot of resources and material going into something that is supposed to save on the footprint we're leaving behind and money in your pocket: it's doing neither.Don't buy into the hype and steer clear of these. You're welcome.
