How to refill Cirkul cartridges with your own liquid water flavoring

    1. There are tons of powder and liquid dye-free options out there. Commenting that dyes are unhealthy is lazy, do 3 seconds of research. Even WalMart sells dye free options. All of the options are sugar-free. They all use sucralose, stevia, aspartame, etc to sweeten. None of them use sugar. Stur brand has no artificial flavors as well as some others on Amazon. I challenge you to fine ONE SINGLE liquid water enhancer that contains actual sugar. One. Furthermore LifeSip, FitSip, GoSip, Gateway, Sabrocita, InFlow, Flyte, Squeeze Lemonade, Fission, Frosted Refreshers, and Frosted contain Sucralose as a sweetener. Only WildSplash, Versa, and Stage Hydration are stevia sweetened (again, you can find dye-free and stevia or monk fruit sweetened liquid water enhancers in stores and online, I even list brands above for you). PureEssence is the only unsweetened cartridge they offer. 2. Commenting that this is just as full of plastic waste is besides the point. This hack is to free users from waiting for a delivery of sips and to allow them to have more flavor choices. 3. Commenting "wHy DoNt YoU jUsT pUt ThE fLaVoR iN tHe WaTeR?" makes you look really dumb. If you know anything about Cirkul the whole point is to be able to adjust the flavor intensity at will throughout the use of it, to include drinking just plain water. 4. Cost: Mio liquid 96ml is $5.94 Mio liquid 48ml is $3.18 Cirkul Sips 20ml is $3.75 Sounds like about 75% off 5. According to Cirkul's website you should be able to get six refills per flavor cartridge when set to a level 4 flavoring 6. If you dial the top to "x" you can pop the top off and unscrew the nipple. This allows easy access for cleaning/sanitizing with bleach water -thanks @kevinwilliams9661 7. @MrDarkDragone had hit or miss success with powder drink enhancers, check out his comment for his feedback on it! 8. Massive_Flower_9844 on Reddit commented this hack: "I figured out a better flavor hack. Take a pack of flavor sticks, put one stick in 2 ounces of hot water to dissolve. After it dissolves fill the foil pack snap back together put on bottle and enjoy. 2 ounces will do 2 bottle packs".

    ​@Jennifer.Ridgeway I am able to get 6 refills out of my Cirkul Sips. It depends on how high set the flow of flavor. I also go up a number on each refill and I still get 6 refills. If I had to guess I would say it is the refill Sip and not the bottle that is the problem. Try a different Sip. I hope that helps. Also the company claims to have over 100+ flavors now. I haven't counted them but they seem to have a lot on their website.

    Yeah, I really don’t know what Cirkul was thinking where they develop a pretty good idea that is too eliminate using plastic bottles to turn around and have to throw out good nozzles and tops every 3-5 refills. I believe the purpose is to eliminate plastic, this just causes us to throw out the tops instead. They should have built the plastic insert that covers the bag to screw into the top and have a rubber seal like we have for water filters in a fridge or make those screw in as well. This way, the only waste is the bag itself which they could sell in packs of 10-20 at a cheaper cost and not 3.50 per top that contains 1 bag, which barely gets me 3 refills. Over time, they would make more profit with occasional sales of tops (like every 100 refills) and their flavors. They also need a bit narrower & longer bag to hold a bit more flavoring. I think there have been many who have bought these then stopped using them because of their cost & waste…changing the bag/cover would solve that issue. And make the main cost just purchasing their flavorings; which more can afford.

    @@angelicawalley they are extremely difficult to disassemble/reassemble in order to clean. My suggestion is to use it daily to prevent mold from forming. If you go a while without using it just start with the new fresh one. The problem is in order to pass something like bleach water through the tip to clean it you would literally need to suck it through. I'm a dental hygienist and we do use medical grade bleach-based oral rinses, so getting some bleach into your mouth- as much as your body's going to scream at you that you're doing something terrible- is not going to cause you harm if you do not swallow it. So I guess my other suggestion would be to put bleach water in your cup and suck and spit several times. Then trade out for clean fresh water and suck and spit several times. Certainly not ideal. You can attempt to disassemble one yourself, which I've done, but it really isn't fun.

    Ok, I tried this and it works. I used Welch's Cherry Pomegranate drink mix. I cut the corner off the packet and poured the powder into the bag, then I topped it off with water. (I used two packets in the bag). Once the water was full I put my finger over the top so it wouldn't leak out and shook it up to make sure the powder mixed with the water, then I put the cartridge back together. The first couple drinks I got no flavoring but after that it worked fine. I also have hawaiian punch drink packets I'm going to use in it. Much cheaper to do it this way. I paid less than $2 for a package of 6 drink sticks for the welch's, and 2.83 for a package of 20 hawaiian punch.

    If you dial the top to “x” you can pop the top off and unscrew the nipple… use a syringe (preferably with a plastic tip so as not to puncture the bag) and refill that way… no muss, no fuss. I have yet to try it, but it’s almost the exact same method while eliminating the likelihood of a mess putting it back together.

  • @loveablelilblonde

    Genius! This works FANTASTIC for cleaning but the hole for refill is far too tiny and probably has a larger likelihood of making a mess because the same small hole that you would have to feed the refill into would also need to displace air during filling, so like you said a syringe would be absolutely necessary to accomplish this. Heads up to anyone reading: once you pop off the top (using the same butter knife technique you see in the video) beware that the nipple that needs to be unscrewed is reverse threaded. Using Kevin's method will allow you to thoroughly clean the entire assembly keeping it mold free!

    I just opened 5 separate pure sips, and was so disappointed, I am not picky at all and none of them tasted like what they where suppose to. I tried pure sip lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, tangerine. I get they have no sweetener but peach and pear tasted like potpourri. I liked the peach mango in reg, and the orange tangerine in fit sip and the white cherry in fit sip was ok. I love infused water with lemon, but the pure sip tasted nothing like lemon. So now I guess I have alot of them that I can refill. Thank you for this video. Bc I really thought I wasted 20.00.
