[@rush2489]

instead of rubber stoppers.... why not reverse the function of the bottle and make it so both are sealed always. And have a push button that opens a certain chamber; instead of closing a hole to choose the opposite chamber. i feel like this would be a more elegant solution.

[@zzzxhrg]

This makes a lot of sense actually. Put the plugs/valves inside so they're normally closed until they're opened from the outside by pressing a button, otherwise sealed by vapor pressure and a small spring. Nice idea there

[@turgsh01]

Buttons require more complexity, like springs and precise moulding, etc... and good luck cleaning all that after each use. Also, rubber degrades too quickly and absorbs bacteria. More complexity, more cost and more points of failure in the product too.

[@zzzxhrg]

@@turgsh01 this is a very valid point. Let's keep talking, there has to be a better way. There's always a better (albeit, narrow) way. Rubber could be replaced by food grade silicon. Springs could be built into their own structures. This has been done before, it can be disinfected by alcohol, soap, boiling, and even bleaching. Thanks for commenting. Let's keep talking

Use two silicone gaskets to plug each of the holes so the liquids cannot escape.

Having to cover holes is a design flaw. Would've been nicer if it was a latch sliding on notches that cover/uncover the two holes.

[@jubuttib]

I guess you're pretty locked in on the design so far, because you're getting ready for production and any large changes would involve HUGE extensions in timelines, but still: Going with holes seems like a weird way, they're pretty clearly not a very userfriendly solution... I assume you experimented with like push button valves and found that they'd be either problematic or way too expensive to make?

[@LordDragox412]

Doubt there was too much experimenting due to costs involved, which is why they went with what was perceived by them as the simplest solution.

Since it is a water bottle. You might want to create a sliding cover that can act like a switch. It would be helpful for it's portability options. Just a thought 💭

[@klausbrinck2137]

the 2 thumb-holes should be constantly sealed... then, with your thumb, u press the air-valve of the beverage of interest open, so it can flow (if the cap of the spout is off too, of course)... congrats for the engagement of the woman, she played the role good, almost subtle...

[@samuelmelton8353]

Maybe, but at that point you might as well just have a slideable lid that aligns with one hole, the other hole, or both holes - but that ruins the fun.

[@NomadYarg]

PSA, don’t drink or eat out of 3D printed items at home. Too many micro cracks that breed bacteria. Looking forward to the professional made bottle though. Cool idea!

[@gawkthimm6030]

generally dont use 3D printed plastic item in wet environments repeatedly, I think you need a "varnish or lacquer" finish to seal the plastic cracks you mentioned from water.

[@mirceaulmeanu674]

Why holes that you cover with fingers or silicon caps? Why not a slider like we have in the vacuum cleaner (the ones that cover the hole that allows "fake" air to enter the vacuum and reduce the pressure). A slider with 4 positions, closed (no liquid spilled), liquid 1, liquid 2, both liquids

[@thamiordragonheart8682]

why not just make the air holes with those little rubber circle flap things so that they're one-way valves. then you don't have to remember to cover them to make it not spill in your bag.

[@wagyourtai1]

I think a twisting band kind of design for the two holes at the back would be better

The final most robust design forgot the element of being able to plug either hole. You should have two separate pluggers with aligned edges instead of one big one

[@erebostd]

I totally would. But over 23 bucks for shipping, taxes not included? Sorry, but that’s too steep… 😵

[@Knownasnemoo]

159$ for the expert one... i mean its a very cool bottle, but not worth 159 😂

[@rptbr]

Great idea. Think I’d prefer a rotating disc mechanism for the two holes to choose the liquids being poured over flimsy perishable rubber or flimsy perishable fingers.

[@1exey]

And you could also adjust the liquid proportions this way!

[@giannobong6778]

It wouldn’t be an assassins teapot in that case. This is trying to stay as true to the idea and design of an assassins teapot while being a water bottle. The point of the tea pot is that simply placing your fingers in a slightly different configuration can cause the teapot to go from pouring tea to pouring poison. Your proposed design is unrelated to the whole concept. This is not the first vessel to have two compartments in it with the choice to pick which compartment to access, that’s not an assassins teapot though.

[@tired4432]

I'm pretty unhappy with how I can't choose which design i want for the bottle. Like why lock the other behind the most expensive tier? Buying one for 65$ is already fairly pricey. It's pretty off putting to see the same with the sleeve's. I was fairly excited but after seeing the price and let's be honest here Steve the shitty decision to gatekeep the designs behind ever increasing monetary tiers. I won't be buying a water bottle after all.

one way valves would work perfectly for the small holes unless I'm misunderstanding, air only needs to go into the bottle and the one way valve would prevent liquid coming out

7:05 You can very well make a toroidal shaped water-holding container with a spout! Water holds in "dimples", and making dimples is no topological modification. You can practically make the doughnut hollow without disturbing the topological doughnut, so to speak.

[@gwathanaur]

But you can't make a toroidal assasin's bottle as the principle behind the assasin's teapot requires a container of genus 2. Your dimples make for regular bottles, not assasin's ones.

2:36 I see a bit of blue water coming out, obviously which stays inside the mouth, before it turns out all yellow. It means if blue is poisonous, you as an assassin will also drink a bit of it.

[@valeriamontemayor7485]

True but micro dosing to build up poison tolerance used to be a thing. As long as you don't use a poison that is potent enough to kill in such a small amount (such as a couple of drops) you should be fine. Maybe minor illness (vomiting/nausea) but at least not dead.

[@riuphane]

This is a brilliant product and watching you and vsauce collaborate is incredible and i need more of it. Also your wife doing the sketches with you was amazing, especially the blooper.

[@JammyBriton]

I agree with some of the others here that buttons which are closed at rest would be best. Small spring for each button between the outside wall and the button head. Silicone ring on the inside for a seal. A slide on the outside to act as a lock for the buttons to ensure they don't get pressed in transit. Cleaner looking and more durable. But I assume the issue is cost to do so. A hinge lid would have also worked, then hide the buttons/holes in the in-built hinge. Also mostly a cost measure I assume. Something that would be higher than normal due to small scale factors and the split compartment bottle. I hope later you are able to revisit this with an improved version, its a fun idea!

[@ThanatosLives]

As fantastic as the idea is, and as engaging as it is to see your continued excitement for "the Assassins drink vessel"... The collaboration with vsauce leaves shipping a bit high for the British audience, and in keeping with several other comments, I agree the notion of locking the more 'interesting' design behind the need to preorder 2, rather than giving the option of either design when preordering 1 seems rather predatory. If either of, or Ideally both of these issues get sorted out, I'd love to hear an update, but will probably have to give this project a miss. Edit: The skits were excellent.
