Pyro making this video might not cost him his sponsor money, but it'll surely scare sponsors away, talking about stuff behind the scenes and taking sponsors purely for the money and not for the product. It's pretty obvious but it's not a good look.

​@@mr.pearly7478Yeah, being somewhat honest is terrible look for sponsors.

[@flutterg1035]

I don't think Pyro understands that it doesn't matter if people don't usually hold their bottle upside down. That point is that cheaper bottles don't have this problem. Also, you can't always assure your bottle will be upright at all times. Sometimes, things happen, and your bottle full of water tips in your bag. Air up bottles would leak, others wouldn't. Saying it's only a minor flaw doesn't change the fact it's a flaw.

[@PhilipWester]

If you put the bottle in a bag and it jostles around, it might very well end up upside down.

[@Auxemplary]

It only has a slit in the back to let the air into the bottle. That air then goes to the small hole in the pod/rubber lid. That’s how the scent is delivered. When the pod is pressed down, the little hole is covered and it dosnt bubble when drinking. When there is a pod in and the lid is on it will never leak. The only time it’s an issue is if you knock over the bottle but otherwise I bring it to work every day, and it just dosent leak with regular day to day use. I actually put the lid on when I put in fresh ice, and room temp water and shake it up to cool the water faster. No leaking into the lid. The reason that it filled up with water in their upside down test with the lid is because they had no pod in it. Source: I’ve had one for like 5 months, (I haven’t bought any new pods, just left a pod in but been using it as a bottle.)

[@flutterg1035]

@Auxemplary I feel like a company that is willing to charger that much for a bottle. Should have made it so you could use it as a regular bottle, too. That doesn't leak when there's just water in it. But I don't know, maybe they should've put more consideration into the design. But that's just me, I guess. On a side note, are you sure it's safe to keep the same one in for so long? Couldn't it grow bacteria?

[@PhilipWester]

@@Auxemplary Did you even watch the video? He puts the lid over it and when he removes it, a lot of water has leaked into the lid.

[@captainjoy8976]

and it doesn't matter if it has a lid because as soon as you open it, it will spill out of it. like huh?!? if you don't think about it and just open it and spill it on yourself, that is annoying and a pretty major design flaw. I have 2L bottles that were like 13€ that do not spill at all

[@user-gt7ux9iz7u]

Closed bottle should NOT leak even when upside down. The problem isn't that the "drinking" hole is leaking. The problem is that the bottle is leaking where the water should NEVER go.

[@giraffeparty0]

yeah, and if you put it in your bag. say you trip, that water is all over the rest of your stuff now

[@Frick8375]

YIKES… Glad I ain’t getting one of these lmao

[@SirEEf13]

But you realize the bottle wasn't closed, right? And it shouldn't surprise anybody that a bottle that isn't closed leaks (when upside down). The part where it leaks from is specifically there to balance pressure. If you screw on the cap properly, the gummi part at the back gets pushed down which closes the gap. It's not in Pyro's video but in Hipyo UNSCREWS the cap a bit before shaking it around, obviously leading to leakage. Pyro's bottle was leaking because he didn't have a pod in, leaving the little hole at the straw open. There are very sound and reasonable arguments against buying an AirUp bottle but Hipyo chose baseless slander instead.

[@CaryOutArk]

@@SirEEf13 yup exactly what I was thinking. without the hole you wouldn't be able to drink without stopping to balance the pressure.

[@niemand5493]

isnt the hole in the top there to put more air into the bottle. otherwise you would be creating a vacuum in the bottle which would make it not possible to sip for a long time. like, have you ever drank out of those small cola bottles and then you dent them by taking too much air out? I feel like the hole is there for a reason but they could have made it a one-way system.

[@Happytravellerkimmy]

As someone who has had multiple water bottles leak in my backpack, yes, it matters if it leaks when upside down. You might not put in upside down but it will find a way.

[@Aaroncarter95]

And to the people saying it's leaking through the hole that's required to provide air for suction, I've had a few water bottles for this exact purpose, and they still never leaked.

[@anecro]

I'd argue he was still hard shilling for them because our little pet brain really likes the potential of getting a sweet sweet bag again if we behave nice even outside of a contract. Panopticon logic, you think they could still be watching and judging. Companies rely on this and Pyro is still finding it hard to admit to a lot in this very video, open your eyes man. Even if he didn't want them to sponsor again, it's an entity that sent him free stuff and made him feel special. A little bias always creeps in unless for some reason you go the opposite way and start actually hating them, neutrality isn't impossible but it is impossible to prove you're neutral to others after this.

[@RenegadeVile]

Apparently one issue with Air Up is that it really doesn't work for everyone. The scent based taste thing is highly dependent on your nose, its shape, and sensitivity.

(There was some scent scientist person on the Hipyo video that commented something to this effect. Clearly they are 100% verifiably correct.)

On the leaking issue, sure you wouldnt hold it upside down but that was more than just a leak, that was like a full pour and if I have it in my bag and it falls on it's side while walking/taking my bag on and off, (which is pretty common from my experience) it does not bode well and will probably leak a little on its side. IMO a water bottle should never leak. Water should only come out of the place you drink from, and only when you drink from it. The lid doesn't matter because if it leaks into the lid, it's not just going to get sucked back into the bottle it's going to drip down the sides when you turn the bottle upright again, and depending where you open it and how much water spilled out that could be pretty annoying. A few people have mentioned you need a hole for air, but other bottles seem to have solved this problem without leaks, so there must be some way to solve it.

[@darkplasmo7921]

i think it is a designed, the bottle needs an air intake to mix scented air in to the water it was planned but you can make an air only valve or make really close then not doing that is definitely a problem

[@jblen]

@@darkplasmo7921 there's one hole near the nozzle that's pointed out in the video as necessary for the scent to work but it appears the leak is coming from the bit where the lid is screwed on. In any case, if it's by design then maybe i's just a flawed idea to begin with.

Dear Pyro. It's sounds as if you've never owned another water bottle than the air up. If you where to buy a classic nike suction water bottle, that kinda looks like the air up, except no lid. You can hold it upside down and it doesn't leak. The reason the water isn’t coming out of the head of the air up is because of the size of the hole, it's science badinga dong.

[@smolcrabbo]

I find it funny that it tastes artificial when it's supposed to be natural. Also, there are water bottles with straws that have a built-in system to prevent leakage. Like, there's this rubber piece with flaps that only opens when you suck.

For those of you who hate plain water, you can put some cut up fruit in it overnight and it will take on the fruit flavor. Very mildly of course and not super sweet. I do this sometimes with frozen fruit when I really crave more flavor, mostly in the summer. But the best way is to switch to water in general. Often, people don't like it because they're used to strong flavors. But water is cheaper and healthier than most of that. I for one am pretty sure that the only reason my blood values still come back sensible and diabetes still hasn't gotten to me despite me being overweight is that I drink almost exclusively water, with any other kind of drink being considered more of a snack to be enjoyed in moderation.

[@The_Queen_Chrysalis]

only 5 liters? so it's like those stupid jelly glade cone things...if it stays open it just, dries up and doesn't scent anymore? Why not do like the sport gatorade bottle where the top has to "pop up" to let you drink, have it just, slightly open where the ring inserts to make it last longer? A design flaw for sure a company could rectify and just outsell them, but it's flawed on purpose to keep you buying their scent pods. Products like this bother me so much where they "over engineer" it in a way that you can't just buy a 3rd party solution. EDIT: had to add this, but I got a 64 oz water bottle that is one of those 48hours still has ice types, for 32 bucks, blows that air up bottle out of the water, and comes with 3 different lids, 2 straws (for the straw lid), DOES NOT LEAK WHEN YOU TIP IT OVER, and comes with a carrying strap and outside cushioned pouch to keep it from being damaged. Look for Buzio, best water bottle I ever bought, been using it for about 2 years, haven't had a single issue with it.

Some people are just more sensitive to certain smells (for example, the smell of vanilla made me feel sick for most of my life so far). I can't say whether the guy overreacted or not, but it might be true that it was a disgusting smell and taste for him. Also that was more likely not the first time he drank tap water from his own house, so that by itself wouldn't gross him out and it's fair for him to judge how AirUp affects that taste.
