Quick Answer
To assemble your Cirkul 26oz StrawSip Flip Bottle, start by rinsing the bottle and lid, then insert your flavor cartridge into the lid, fill the bottle with water, and snap the lid shut. The locking Flip Lid keeps the cartridge covered and prevents spills.
Before You Start: Rinse and Inspect
When you unbox your new Cirkul 26oz StrawSip Flip Bottle, give it a quick rinse with warm water and mild soap. This removes any dust or residue from manufacturing. The double-walled stainless steel body is easy to clean, but avoid submerging the lid—the locking mechanism and StrawSip technology are best cleaned with a damp cloth.
Check that the Flip Lid opens and closes smoothly. The sturdy carry loop doubles as a lock, so make sure it's in the unlocked position before you try to open the lid.
Choosing Your Flavor Cartridge
The StrawSip Flip Bottle works with any Cirkul Sip cartridge. If you're new to Cirkul, start with a flavor you already enjoy—like fruit or iced tea—and adjust the dial on the cartridge to control the intensity. The cartridge sits inside the lid, so you'll need to remove the lid to swap flavors.
Step-by-Step Assembly and Use
- 1. Rinse the Bottle and Lid: Remove the lid from the bottle. Rinse the stainless steel bottle with warm water and mild soap. Wipe the lid with a damp cloth—do not submerge it. Let both air dry completely. A common mistake is submerging the lid, which can damage the locking mechanism. Stick to wiping it down.
- 2. Insert the Sip Cartridge: Hold the lid upside down. Push a Cirkul Sip cartridge into the circular opening until it clicks into place. Make sure the dial on the cartridge faces outward so you can adjust the flavor level. If the cartridge doesn't click, check that it's oriented correctly—the flat side should align with the lid's interior.
- 3. Fill the Bottle with Water: Fill the 26oz bottle with cold or room-temperature water. Leave about an inch of space at the top to prevent overflow when you attach the lid. Do not fill with carbonated or hot liquids—the StrawSip technology is designed for still, cold water. Overfilling can cause the cartridge to leak when you flip the bottle. Leave room for the lid and cartridge.
- 4. Attach and Lock the Lid: Place the lid on the bottle and press down until you hear a click. Rotate the carry loop to the locked position (perpendicular to the lid) to secure the Flip Lid. Push the button to unlock and flip open the straw. If the lid doesn't seal, the carry loop may not be fully locked. Rotate it until it stops—this ensures a spill-resistant seal.
- 5. Adjust Flavor and Start Sipping: Flip open the straw using the button. Take a sip—if the flavor is too strong or too weak, remove the lid and adjust the dial on the cartridge. Start with a mid-setting (around 3 or 4) and fine-tune from there. The dial controls how much flavor mixes with your water. A low setting gives a hint of flavor; high settings deliver a bold taste.
