Vapur - ize Bottled Water {Giveaway}

I was recently asked if I would be interested in doing a review and giveaway of a new reusable water bottle called vapur. My first thought was, “Heck yeah, down with bottled water!” Hehe, sorry, I get a little carried away when it comes to bottled water.

Then I saw that the bottle was made out of plastic, not something I’m a big fan of. However, after reading more I found out that the plastic is BPA free (so it’s dishwasher safe) and made in the U.S.A. Currently all stainless steel bottles are made in other countries, which means they have to travel a long way to get to us here in the US. So even though plastic isn’t so great, the fact that the vapur bottles didn’t travel from the other side of the world is, in fact, pretty great, I think.

When the bottle came it was completely flat, which looked a little weird. It’s more of a water pouch than a bottle, either way it holds water. ;)

Anyways, after I filled it up the bottom expanded (insert joke here) and was able to stand up on it’s own.



It has a carabiner so it can attach to a belt loop, purse, backpack or anything else. When it’s empty it can also be rolled up and stuck in a pocket.



We have lots of Klean Kanteen bottles that we take with us everywhere, but there’s always been one thing that’s bothered me; the sport top is really noisy when you drink out of it. The vapur, on the other hand, is completely silent, which is really great when I take it to Taekwondo.



Vapur is also a member of 1% For the Planet, giving a portion of their sales to water based environmental causes.

In the end, I'm happy with it and will definitely put it into permanent rotation with the other water bottles.

Now onto the giveaway. Vapur is giving one Easy Eco To Go reader their very own vapur water bottle. For the main entry go to vapur and tell me something you learned (lots of info in The Movement). This one doesn’t have to be done first but it does have to be done for all other entries to count. .
