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 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".
Ty ty so much. I've only been getting like 1 use out of these things & was floored. Never even made it to a refill. Wasn't sure if it was the Walmart brands or a glitch in mine.
@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.
@@Jennifer.RidgewayI just bought six cartridges and my daughter got one bottle out of one cartridge that was set to 4. I am only getting three fill ups when mine is set to three. I am so glad I found this!
Thx. Very helpful. I’ve seen soda stream flavoring used before but it’s nice to see the crystal light opening fits perfect. Also nice tip about full bag back in cartridge. Not squeeze too much or fill too much so it fits inside and making sure it clicks in place properly. Great video. I’ll be using on a 20oz hydro flask bottle
Thank you! It's my first and only video. I just figured so many people have helped me in the past on RUclips with tutorials and when I figured this trick out and realized that no one had publicized it I figured I kind of owed it to everyone who's helped me along the way. I tried to make it in a manner that was helpful, thorough, but direct.
This is why I love You Tube! I just bought a kit, an I'm almost out of flavoring cartridge. Now I can save alot of cash not buying their cartridges! Thanks girl!! Your awesome!😊
You'll still want to buy 1 or 2 of there flavors a month, bacteria will build up in the bags the flavorings in even if you wash them, id only keep refilling it 2 to 3 weeks with consistent cleaning of the bag each time before you fill it
@@redprice6969 i mean if you can clean it really good, im sure it would be fine, but even so the plastic wears down and starts leaking, i like the cirkul flavors better anyway, but when i do refill, i use the liquid crystal light, i haven't really found other brands i like yet
I was debating on trying the Cirkul water bottle but I stumbled on your video and knowing I can refill the packets has convinced me to try it! Thank you!!!
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.
I'm impressed at how thoroughly you explained this. You have definitely saved some people the trouble of a broken sip or a big mess while attempting this
A great tutorial! I refilled with this hack and yea it works! I also put my circulation top on my takeya and thermoflask water bottles because o wanted my water cold and insulated!
I love this hack so much I shared it I bought my bottle today it is my Christmas present for myself and I'm super excited to open it up on Christmas Day and I am looking forward to using it that day
THANK YOU! The sip cartridges are so expensive! I actually started drinking more water and worried the cost would get in the way. No anymore! Thanks again. Great tip!!!
I mean one cartridge is equivalent to about 6 bottles which is about 6pack of Gatorade, wich is about the same price only difference is these are healthier and comes from water with no added artificial stuff. Like mio and stuff. Tho ima be doing this too 🤣 when i run out between orders lmfao might even see if its possible to clean the bags so the dont get moldy.
Purchased a starter set from my spouse and I, and boy the $ for the cartridges add up! Walmart only had a few flavors, so I'm on cirkuls website looking for additional flavors when I came across your video (not on their site) and this is definitely going to save me money!
@@loveablelilblonde i just tried it and it worked! One question no one seems to be asking tho is how do we clean the cartridge to keep them from being moldy.... can they go in the dish washer?
@@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.

The way the flavor works it requires suction inside the bottle however, after about three sips, you can no longer get water out so you have to open the lid to let air in this is true to every bottle they have if they could fix that it would be a great product
There's a little hole in the cap and on the bottom There's a silicone piece I stuck a guitar string through there and wiggled it around and that fixed it
@@gamerhamster2555 I would love to see this, Imagine all the material they would be saving too if you could just get the little mylar bag of flavoring to snap in. I like the idea they had but although the startup pack isnt a bad price it gets sorta expensive if you keep going after. Dollar stores or Pop Shelf often have the little squirt bottle flavors for a buck and you can get like 2 refills from them.
This isn't technically reusable for long term. That foil baggie will eventually wear out. It might be a year, 2 or 3 but it will eventually deteriorate enough it would begin leaking.
You're welcome! I went on RUclips to see if anyone else had posted it and no one had... felt like I owed it to the community to give back after all the times RUclips has saved me money, time, and sanity 😂
It gives users the option of refilling their Sips on the go (locally), more flavor options (though I see that Cirkul has a ton of options now), and saving a lot per ounce for those that rip through them 😊
Tried cirkul years ago but wasnt a fan of having to toss nozzle after nozzle. Wish I found this video back then. Was there any residual flavor or flavor crossing the first time you refilled it despite giving it a rinse?
Great question! The little bag is made of foil I think, and no taste remains if you drizzle a little water in the empty bag, plug it with your thumb, shake, and drain it (repeat until it runs clear, 2x normally does the trick).
Coworker mentioned this yesterday to me and thought he was crazy. Nice little hack! I know the cartridges are just a tad bit more in cost and feel guilty because it is more trash than the liquid bottles. I love the flavors of Cirkul but I don't think they hydrate as well.
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.
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!
Since posting this, I have tried both methods... the method in the video is by FAR easier and less hassle... just be aware of the two prongs on either side that clip into the slots... I ruined my first flavor pod due to this.
@@kevinwilliams9661 My way is by far easier to fill the flavor reservoir but your way is seemingly the only way to take the canister completely apart (without losing your mind) in order to use bleach to clean it between uses or when being stored.
Where do you get the plastic syringe or needle to fill it? Could you possibly do a video to show us what to do thank you just got my Cirkul for Christmas I absolutely love it!
Did this with some power drink mix. Got the walmart brand single serve energy drink mixes. Was able to fit about 5 in that packet, though I recommend 4 instead. The water has to absorb into the packet before you get any flavoring. Even now it only hits on the first part of the sip for me. May just be better off with liquid flavorings.
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.

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.
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!
Since posting this, I have tried both methods... the method in the video is by FAR easier and less hassle... just be aware of the two prongs on either side that clip into the slots... I ruined my first flavor pod due to this.
@@kevinwilliams9661 My way is by far easier to fill the flavor reservoir but your way is seemingly the only way to take the canister completely apart (without losing your mind) in order to use bleach to clean it between uses or when being stored.
Where do you get the plastic syringe or needle to fill it? Could you possibly do a video to show us what to do thank you just got my Cirkul for Christmas I absolutely love it!
nice...thanks
Thank you for saving the ocean!! 🌊
We luv u!

Did this with some power drink mix. Got the walmart brand single serve energy drink mixes. Was able to fit about 5 in that packet, though I recommend 4 instead. The water has to absorb into the packet before you get any flavoring. Even now it only hits on the first part of the sip for me. May just be better off with liquid flavorings.
I'm going to add you to the pinned comment, thank you!
I don’t know if this was asked before but a sip contains enough flavoring for 6 20oz refills. How many refills does this hack give you?
In my experience it seems equal. It's all dependent on what you have the flavor dial set to.
Can I use the powered ones or just the liquid flavoring
I haven't personally tried powdered ones but other commenters have and they said it worked, and that's how Cirkul comes originally!
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.
I used the bubly lemon drops when I refilled.
Do you get a new cartridge at some point? Maybe switch it out once a month?
You can take it apart and clean it.
Hero!
I am going to have to buy some in replace of the cartridges
I’m 2years late but thanks I’m going to try this I love product but cartridges are expensive
I love you I reasently baught one and now it’s my favorite thing in the world but it’s so expensive
