TMB Bottle Early Thoughts

- Hello again, I used the bottles at work for a week and here are some of my thoughts about them. I'm not a UA-camr so I didn't realize how slow/boring it is until now but since again there is NO content out yet, I figure some information is better than none. Feel free to double speed - that'll probably help. Also sorry about the bad camera set up - I used my phone and have no tripod.
Important bits: I figured out how to change the caps, the straws are a lil weird, the bottle unscrews the whole top sometimes, and the white stays white (marks buff off).
Overall I'm happy with them so far, but there are a few things I hope they will improve in future edits (specifically the top coming unscrewed when you take the cap off - potential risk of it coming apart when you don't want it to.) It hasn't been an issue thus far, but I think that would be an improvement.
Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for this video - it was not too long/boring at all, and is exactly what I needed! An unfiltered, unedited demo on what it's like to use and operate as a daily bottle. I've been thinking about getting one of this for my wife as she has many different bottles for different purposes and recently broke one of her main ones, but I was worried about this bottle having too many parts and being too complicated for day to day use. I also didn't see any reviews so definitely concerned about getting caught in the hype!
Your detailed video was super helpful for me to understand a few things:
- I really liked the way you showed what it's like using the different caps - that was A+
- There are a few moving parts yes, but the parts that are likely to be moved around day to day appear relatively easy to use
- The bottle's build quality appears quite good
- Cap definitely looks stiff, I can see my wife opting out of using the flat cap at all 😂
- It seems like the cap/lid can be a bit hard to screw on / unscrew, sometimes looking a bit stuck? This would be one of my major concerns
- Didn't know it comes with two straws! Thank you for the info on length and build quality
You should try making more product reviews if you have time! Love you attention to detail and thoroughness!
Thank you! :) It definitely has a lot of components, which I'd say is both a strength and a weakness of it.
1) - I found that I tend to reuse one style of the bottle and keep the other parts stored for if I want something specific/outside of my normal routine.
2) -I'd say that this bottle is very cool, but feels in some ways like a first draft - there are some things which I hope they improve in future iterations: The main things I'd want fixed are: the slide cap is overly stiff and can be difficult to use, and when you unscrew one of the screw caps you have to hold on the the gray part to keep it together.
3) - That being said, I do really like the glass + protective/insulating plastic combo (it seems to be well-made there - I dropped it from high up and the glass was unaffected), and the interchangeable parts are fun and helpful. It truly is a modular and adjustable water bottle - which is super cool!
4) - But some of the individual pieces I think would benefit from another refinement pass. I'd say at this point If I were going to buy again knowing what I know now, I would maybe buy it on sale, but I don't know if I would have bought it for the full price - I think they'd have to fix some things before I'd do that. I'm hoping they do an updated version of this, because the base is cool, they just need to work out some kinks.
- If you have any other specific questions lmk and I'll see if I can answer them. :)
@@KCCarl Amazing! Thank you again. I agree with you and will definitely wait for discount or a second iteration which fixes the issues you mentioned. I think another problem is not actually knowing when it will ship - by the time I receive it they might be just about to release the second edition 😅
@@KCCarl when u said "and when you unscrew one of the screw caps you have to hold on the the gray part to keep it together." i had the same issue until someone from their site told me that there a click to lock in feature for the gey part. Basically if you watch the tutorial on thier youtube page, you can see at the end of the twist, it snaps in to lock the grey part. So after locking it won't unscrew the whole part. You just gotta put a little more force first times and then it gets easy. Try it out- hope it helps
@@CCash10 Oh that is so good to know! I will try that out - that's been the most annoying part of the bottle so far so I'll be very glad if that works. Thank you! :)
Still waiting for mine to show up!!.. lol
Great video!
Great inital look, and with the limited info that's out there thank you for posting this! Would be cool to hear your 1-2 month thoughts on how it holds up over time with regular use. If that's possible then definitely looking forward to a part 2 of this!
Thanks for putting this out. I have been was waiting for kind to arrive for ever, and seeing someone actually using one kinda gives me hope, but still not in leaning towards this is mostly a scam. It's quite frustrating hopelessly waiting for so long.
Anyway, I'm still glad you're using it! Looks like a great product, if you get one lol
i cant belive their still having fufillment issues, did you initially buy on kickstarter or their website?
I’m gonna order a new set from their website and test to see which will arrive first, my new order or my kickstarter pledge that was fulfilled a year ago.
Waited ages for this, after i got it looks like a cheap plastic bottle. And I was right, after 1-2 months of use the printed wording got smeared or peeled off. The black extension screws are not tight and easily get worned off and water starts to leak.The cap screws is more tighter then the extension screws like whenever i try to twist the cap screw the extension screw easily loosen up. Heck Im not even abusing the bottle, I took care of it and the screw is just easy to loosen up. Now I need to find a new freaking bottle. This is just another hype up scam product on Kickstarter.
7:18 thanks for pointing out how the whole top is liable to screw off if you're not careful! Wasn't sure if mine was defective; seems like an odd design flaw for a bottle.
Taking off the black/grey tall extension for the first time is impossible.... When I got my bottles yesterday (one in the wrong color, so waiting on that now lol) I was trying so much till my hands hurt, still sore today. Today, even your alternate method of grasping it from above didn't work for me. I'm not sure why they ship these with some parts attached; I see complaints elsewhere removing them for the first time.
Heyo! Just curious if you had any luck taking off the tall black/grey extension? Mine is stuck to all hell and I can't get it off.
@@Nekxen13 no luck at all. when I told them about the problems with my extension and how I wish I had my second bottle to compare it to to tell whether this is a manufacturing defect or not... They told me I could keep the second bottle. So I opened it up and, while it was tough to get off like everyone says, I was able to get the extension off and the cap actually has been working fine on this bottle. So it looks like I'm going to get to keep that weird stuck-on extension bottle which the top won't stay onto for spare parts like that weird silicone rubber band.
Also, I realized later that they are releasing version 2 of the extension in a couple months. That's why all of us are having so many issues with this extension... They just don't want to admit how bad it can be. I'm going to avoid using the extension on my working bottle until the second version comes in, might affect the threading.
So essentially you got a free broken bottle :b I mean like you said, for parts I suppose. Welp, here's to hoping they'll compensate me too... I even sent them a video of me fighting the demons that are keeping that thing stuck on... Thanks for letting me know!
It looks bad ass
Thank you for posting!
Hey will you be creating a follow up video? Thank you again by the way 😊
Maybe for half the price
Just a not on the sports lid. You can flip it all the way back so its out of your way.
omg you're right, thanks! It's such a sturdy lil piece that the halfway notch feels like the end. same thing had been annoying me about it
What is the little three sided part with curves.
powder mixer
Does bottle hold hot tea or coffee well and for how long?
I have used mine for coffee and it works well.
Insulation is not that great. Doesn't really keep drinks warm
Those straws Dangerous if you Fall Over.. better with plastic Straw..
is it worth the 100$+ ?
No its definitely not worth $120 but if you want people to tell you "you have such a cool water bottle" than you dish out the money for this.
@@ogmr.c3714 I have it... regret buying it tbh.
Still waiting for mine and I'm an original backer smh
They've started selling them on Amazon (discounted & extra coupon) now WITH the "backer-only" strap and shaker included, same special "Edition One" print. and they still lie to their backers who have yet to receive theirs...
edit: they're also including the fruit and tea infusers for free there... and tons of backers still haven't gotten their bottles.
