Very interesting. Please do more testing. Maybe even some fun drinks. I am very new to making my own fizzy drinks.
Yes I love this idea! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Thank you. This is now on sale at Costco for $70. With your hack ima buy it!
That is such a good deal!! I have videos for hacks for CO2 also so you can save money on CO2!

Thanks so much for watching!! 😃
Actually appreciate this so much!! Thank you ☺️! Bought one as a gift for my gf so this is going to be a game changer!!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Thank you for the follow-up!
For that SodaStream bottle of Starry one serving needs 18ml of syrup per 12 ounces. The Ninja Thirsty pods (Mio is similar) uses 3-4ish ml per 12 ounces. So you may get a faint hint from the SodaStream syrup, but I wouldn't recommend using it to fill a Ninja pod with. Just make 12oz of plain carbonated water and pour the SodaStream syrup into the carbonated water like you would do with the regular SodaStream.
Also, the Ninja reads the color of the lids on the pods. Some like the Splash are white and others blue. If you use Mio drops or a like alternative you will probably want them in a blue topped pod.
This is very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this!!
So you're saying the blue covers dispense slightly more flavor?
Might be worth trying to fill 2 blue ninja containers, then set both to max flavors and see how the soda stream flavors taste then. 🤷♂️
Someone has already tryed that and said it was still too weak flavouring @fortunatedad7695
@danielwilliams1612 if you're referring to the just a dad video. He used one blue cintainer and one white.
I can't imagine it would make that big of a difference.
Was just pointing this out. I will try when I get home, but I won't be home for 2 weeks.
So basically its an expensive version of soda stream.
For me the main benefit is being able to make one glass at a time and being able to customize the flavor. The Sodastream makes a liter at a time and the liter is just one flavor. Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Just a small reminder but counting on how much you want to mix drinks around, there's many flavors, syrups, and liquids that can enhance your drink drastically. Learn to experiment and try something new here and there. Enjoy 😊
Yes! I bought a bunch of Torani syrups and am having fun experimenting!
Now soda stream going jack up there prices when this gets out.
Someone have try the Pepsi soda stream flavor on the thirsty? If so, how that go, taste good?
I have tried it. The flavor really isn't strong enough if you pour it in the pod. I just make a plain glass of carbonated water (12 oz) and pour in 1.5 teaspoons of Sodastream Pepsi and stir.
I know ninja want you to buy the there flavor cartridges but I believe it would be a good idea if they came out with reusable cartridges so you can put your own flavors in them.
Yes I agree! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
@@mariahgarske5454 did you watch the whole video? That’s exactly what she did.
Over there? Or is it theirs? 😂
@@Ian-dg3gf lol spell check error, my bad😂😂😂😂
Instead of adding the soda stream concentrate to the ninja bottles, just do a plain glass of soda water with the bubbles and add desired amount of soda stream directly into the glass
Yes! I figured this out in later videos! Some things work in the pods (mio, crystal light) while others like Sodastream don't so you just have to add it directly to plain carbonated water. Thanks so much for watching!
This is what I do as well
Is it raining inside?
One cool hack that I have done with my sodastream is hooking it up to a 10lb CO2 cylinder. It costs only 1/10th. If the connections are identical, the hack should work on Thirsti as well!
Very cool! I have heard about people doing this! Something I should look into! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
but where do u get those?
I wonder if you could use a 5lb co2 tank with hose adapter and just refill the 5lb co2 tank and get more drinks out of your thirsti?
I want to try this! I know people have done it with the Sodastream. I will make a video if I do it. Thanks so much for watching! 😃
I don't even exchange my CO2 canisters. There's a place near me that sells dry ice in pellet form. They do have strange hours, but if all I need is to stop by real quick and give them $5-6 and I get enough pellets to refill the 4 canisters I've collected (I found some empty ones being sold $10 each). Using gloves or tongs, I drop the pellets one by one into the canister until the weight is correct, then seal it up. You can look up "the dry ice method" for more specifics but I fill 4 canisters for $5-6 bucks this way and no need to crush the dry ice.
Wow I didn't know about using dry ice! What a great hack thanks for sharing! I just did a video on how to connect the Thirsti to a 5lb CO2 canister. ruclips.net/video/sO1nfU_KRLo/видео.htmlsi=DaUqPKbYxWXvsob4
I exchange the tank locally and it's just $15! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
You can buy larger CO2 canisters at places that sell beer in kegs. Then you can either buy adapters to hook up to your Thirsty soda machine or buy connectors to refill your empties that you pre chill and refill your empty cartridges. I have seen a video on RUclips where the guy drilled a hole in the back of the Thirsty and fed the hose through the back and connected it with adapters that fit the connection in the machine. The other end goes to a large canister that went inside the cabinet.
Also, they sell bottles of syrup or you can find recipes on RUclips to make your own flavors.
I have a video about connecting to a 5 lb canister
ruclips.net/video/sO1nfU_KRLo/видео.htmlsi=QdRdSxTUH3klcb9c
I did end up drilling a hole into the canister door so the door would shut and the tube could escape. Thanks for the helpful comment and thanks for watching! 😃
Thanks for the hacks!!! We are looking at getting this for my son as a gift, since he goes through so many carbonated water drinks.
I'm really happy with it! I really like being able to make one drink at a time as opposed to a whole bottle with the Sodastream. It's fun to use - my son is obsessed with it 😆 Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Thanks for the info..but overall...these things are expensive!
The hacks help save money! I have my Thirsti connected to a 5 lb CO2 tank which saves a lot of money on CO2. Check out this video on the how to
ruclips.net/video/sO1nfU_KRLo/видео.htmlsi=7jkBmPrNEoFEevtE
Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Thanks for this video. I’m thinking about getting one. And I was wondering if you could do this
Thanks so much for watching 🙂
This does NOT work, it doesnt use enough of the syrup its like getting hints of flavor instead of the right amount. You can pour the right amound in a glass first and just do the carbonated water setting but you lose some carbonation this way.
Yes I do that now (add flavoring first and then add carbonated water) when using the Sodastream syrups. Other flavor drops like Mio, Crystal Light, & Kool Aid can be poured into the empty Thirsti pods and they work great! Thanks for watching! 😃
Those are excellent suggestions, but I wonder why someone would purchase the Ninja machine and use Soda Streams CO2 cartridges and flavors. Would it not be prudent to buy the entire Soda Stream setup? Is there an advantage to using the Ninja machine?
I prefer the Ninja to the Sodastream because you can make one drink at a time as opposed to a liter at a time with the Sodastream. With the Sodastream you have to make a liter of one flavor and usually I would drink some and put the rest in the fridge and it would go bad so I wasted a lot. Thanks so much for watching! 😃
@@kstorrerThat makes sense. I heard your comment on the Soda Stream in your video but did not fully understand it. I have since watched several other videos and now understand what you were explaining. Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. Have a good weekend!
Thank you for video nice to know you can use the soda stream stuff in the thirsti 😊
Yes! You do have to play around with the flavors a bit. Even at the max flavor setting on the Ninja, I feel like I'm not getting enough flavor when I use the Sodastream flavors. You can always pour more flavoring directly in your glass and stir but that's not as fun! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
so much trouble, why not just buy a soda stream... lol
I actually bought this to replace my Sodastream, and I love it! I love being able to make one drink at a time versus a liter at a time. I've been refilling the pods with Crystal Light, Mio, and more and it works really well! The Sodastream flavors work best if you make plain seltzer water and then just pour the Sodastream syrup into your cup directly. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
The first hack is going to have to be how to get a hose connected CO2 tank on that unit. Those small canisters offset the cost savings by almost as much as the syrups.
Which would you recommend the ninja or the soda stream?
I prefer the Ninja Thirsti because you can make one drink at a time. The Sodastream makes a liter at a time and I found myself wasting most of it after my initial drink. I do wish Thirsti would come out with more flavors especially colas. Thanks so much for watching! 🙂
Hi,
I recently subscribed bc I like your hacks on this bc I really like this but it is expensive to refill them.
Where do I purchase the Co2 canister from the soda stream by itself and also what to do with the flavors canisters after you use them .Do you store the unopened ones on the counter or do you put it in the refrigerator.
Thank you I appreciate you sharing your hacks.
They do help a lot.😊
You can buy the Sodastream CO2 refills at Target and Walmart. You bring in your empty canister and they will exchange it for you. The flavor cartridges can stay out on the counter they don't need to be refrigerated. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! 😄
Great video thank you very much very informative❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😃
Awesome video. Thank you for doing this test. The one looked like beer🤣
My husband thought that too! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Cool... I have soda stream canisters and now I know that SS Canisters and flavs work with Thirsti - thank you sub/and like.
Thank you so much for watching! I wanted to point out that the blue soda stream canisters (threaded) work in the Thirsti but the pink soda stream canisters (quick connect) don't. Hopefully you have the blue ones!
Thank you for the hacks. I don’t add the flavors to the empty Thirsti containers, but I add them to just carbonated water. So, I run it with just carbonated water and then add the flavors after. My favorite is to run the lemonade flavor and add Torani syrups to make flavored lemonades.
It is so funny that you commented this because I just made a video (posting soon) that talks about doing just that! I've been using Torani too! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
how do you know how much to add?
@cableguynoe I add 1 1/2 Tablespoons for 12 oz. It really depends on how sweet you like it, but this works for me!
Thank you, I’ll try that. I did try putting it in the pods, but wasn’t quite enough as you pointed out in your update. But I do want that Pepsi flavor as an option with my Ninja.
@@cableguynoe I'm waiting for Dr. Pepper 😃
I absolutely LOVE your kitchen!!
Thank you so much! We actually just built this home - I have a house tour video here where you can see more of the kitchen. Thanks so much for watching!!

Kelsey you are remarkable. Please invest into a good microphone for your vlogging in the future if you can ❤
As much as I love Ninja products and want to be loyal to them, I am going to just go with Sodastream just because of their widespread availability
Again video is excellent
🎉
You are very kind! Sorry for the poor audio quality! This was one of my early videos and the microphone was not great 😬 I do have a video where you can connect your soda machine to a 5 lb CO2 tank which can save you a lot of $ on CO2. You should be able to do it with your Sodastream as well! Thanks so much for watching!
ruclips.net/video/sO1nfU_KRLo/видео.htmlsi=xH2QuNsosUzonI6m
Thanks for the update! My Thirsti should be coming tomorrow and it was great to see how to hack the pods.
Oh yay! I hope you enjoy your Thirsti! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Please don’t do the hack. Honestly it messes it up.
The only sodastream co2 canister you can use are the blue ones, not the new pink ones
@@aaroncalnek3395 the hack to refill the pods works great. No problems. Also I get co2 refills from Sodasense, who I already was using before getting this.
I don't know why but just got the giggles of thinking when you inserted the can, you'd see it start to work and you'd hear that spring pop and soda flying everywhere like you see in the original Gremlins Movie.
That is pretty cool. I am so glad it works. I am just starting up, but I decided to dish out the money with the Ninja Thirsti and buy a 20 LB tank from Amazon and do the exchange with AirGas for I hope around $40 bucks!
That will save you a lot of money! Thank you so much for watching! 😃
I was going to try replacing water with minute maid fruit punch in the reservoir. Then just add the co2. Running some hot water through the system without co2 once a month should clean it out. What do you think?
That's a really good idea! Have you tried it yet??
The soda stream canister has 2 different volves on the top one flat and one round. Do both work on the ninja thirsty ?.
The round valve works in the Thirsti. It is the one I have in the video. The flat one (it is pink I think) does not work. Thanks so much for watching 🙂
@@kstorrer Thank you to know the round valve works on ninja thirsty. I refill soda stream canisters with dry ice to save money. Can the ninja thirsty canister valve unscrew to refill with dry ice to save even more money ?.
I tried to unscrew the thirsti canister valve using pliers and I wasn't able to unscrew it. I think it can be unscrewed though because Ninja takes empty canisters back to refill them so it must be possible!
After I unscrewed the small lock nut and used a adjustable wrench on the valve and bag the handle on the hard surface the valve comes off on all my soda stream canisters to refill with the dry ice. I will let you know when I have empty a ninja thirsty canister and can fill the canister with the dry ice. @@kstorrer
@@kstorrerThey don't need to remove the top to fill the tank. They fill through the valve at top.
Video and information is great, but you need a better microphone. There was a lot of buzzing.
I know I'm sorry! I have fixed this in later videos! Watch my latest video for a chance to win a 24 oz Ninja Thirsti Travel Bottle ruclips.net/video/ZGzWw--dkMo/видео.htmlsi=aU7KQ1t10QR0Jmr8
Thanks so much for watching! 😃
👍 nice review
Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Simpli soda will exchange 2 60l canisters for 30 bucks shipped.
That's awesome! I've been paying $16.99 for one exchange at Target. Thanks for the info!
The co2 you can use aren’t the pink soda stream ones. Only the blue ones. You should have done more research for people
The one I use in the video (blue) are the ones that can be used with the Thirsti. The pink ones (quick connect) do not work with the Thirsti. Thanks for watching!
You can actually unscrew the cap on the flavor cartridges and put stuff in
Yes. You can refill the cartridges with whatever you like. Some flavors work better than others! Thanks so much for watching!
So pretty much, get a soda stream, got it 😂
You can buy the C02 in the stores.
Amazon has the reusable containers for the thirsti
That's cool! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
Yes it is nasty
Lol the Stur! Yes it's gross...not buying it again 🤢 Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Excellent hack review. Thanks.
Thank you for watching 🙂
@@kstorrer 💪💪
So the flavors are $1 more, but last WAY longer
I just did a new video testing flavors in the pods (mio, crystal light, sodastream bubly). All of those flavors will work in the pods. They typically cost around $3 but they are smaller (1.62 oz vs 2.07 oz). So they are less expensive than the Thirsti pods which cost $6.99 but they are smaller. ruclips.net/video/MObpMzN3XfE/видео.htmlsi=_hVDURUHHLbe8kmg
As for the ninja thirsti can I pour other syrup in pod
Yes you can! However, it will only dispense a certain amount so I have found that it doesn't dispense enough flavor when using Sodastream flavors. It works best if you just make carbonated water and then pour in your Sodastream flavors. Thanks so much for watching 😃
Cool aid packets make a lot can you try a packet with some water
I will have to try that! Thanks so much for watching! 😃
@@kstorrer i was thinking of a way to sweeten it. Maybe falls on to a quick disove sugar cube?
Thank you for this video. I wanted to try the ninja flavors because I don’t like the bubly flavors and I’m hoping they are good. I only will probably use the fruit flavors and I’m thinking I might use an eye dropper to disperse them into my water. So I wanted to make sure I didn’t have to have a screw in carbonation machine to use the flavors.
The Thirsti has 4 different drink lines - Energy, Hydrate, Splash, and Vitamins. I like them all except Splash. Splash reminds me of the Bubly flavors which I don't like either. I hope you find some flavors you like! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
That's the cleanest kitchen I've ever seen
Thank you I try to keep it clean! Thanks for watching 😃
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
is there any way to increase the amount of syrup released by the system past the point of setting one or two ? If you were to fill these little containers say with coke syrup you need to get to the 5:1 ratio.
I wish that were possible! I even tried putting the same flavoring in 2 containers and then doing a combo, but the flavor was too weak. I've been making plain sparkling water and then pouring in syrup and stirring for now. Thanks so much for watching 😃
