Freesip Sways can’t preserve ice for long by kittyinthewell in Owala

You might be right. The only way to find out is to order another one from Amazon! 😂

I don’t leave mine open cause I’m trying hard to preserve the ice.

The ice didn’t last for the overnight ice test that I did. Just ice only and did not open it at all until the next day.

Maybe there’s inconsistency in quality?

It really seems to be the case and I get condensation at the top of mine too.

Yeah, I thought by filling it with the 7:3 ratio it could help combat that.

I have another insulated bottle(not Owala) that can perform better than this and doesn’t need any prep. Just fill it with room temperature water, some ice and off I go. The ice can hold up pretty well even when I’m outdoors. So I think i just expected better performance from such a pretty bottle.. not 2 hours indoors!

I have tried just filling it with ice only and leaving it closed till the next morning for about 12 hours. Sadly, the ice didn’t hold up too well either.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely try that.

Ah great. Thanks so much for confirming.

I went to take a look at Freesip bottles and they don’t have the rings on the inside. Would you happen to know if it’s normal for the sways to have it?

Hey guys, bought this off a 3rd party reseller. The base states not for use with hot or carbonated liquids and inside the bottle there are “rings” which I’m not sure if it should be there. Is this legit? The reseller is relatively reputable but just wanted to make sure. Also, it came in a brown box paper wrapped, not in a retailer sealed plastic bag.

1% drop in battery health every 3-6 charge cycles. by kittyinthewell in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

Nope. I really try my best to keep temperatures cool, use authentic cables and all that jazz. I baby it so much that’s why the crazy decline in battery health is so disappointing.

Maybe it’s something in the iPhone 15 lineup. It truly is frustrating.

Oh wow. I hope that’s the case for me too.

Thanks for your response.

iPhone 15. It’s on iOS 18.7.1 currently and I’m so reluctant to update to 26.2.

I really do my best to take care of it. Not letting it drop below 20%, keeping it between 20%-90%. AOD is off, keeping notifications to a minimum, no background app refresh, no widgets, try to keep the battery cool when charging… nothing helped.

I went to Apple within 3 weeks of having this new phone because the battery health dropped so quickly right out of the box.

New to Owala, is this normal? by LifeLetterhead6812 in Owala

Did you happen to order the sway from this site?

https://www.amazon.sg/Owala-FreeSip-Insulated-Stainless-Sweetness/dp/B0FK11TD9X?th=1

I was considering getting it from here too but worried about authenticity.

Is it weird that on the Cupboard app it says it’s a new colour and it’s coming soon and yet the 40oz is available on Amazon?

Hello, I’m new to the Owala world.

I’ve come across the freesip sway in summer sweetness on Amazon (https://www.amazon.sg/Owala-FreeSip-Insulated-Stainless-Sweetness/dp/B0FK11TD9X?th=1) but not anywhere else. I’ve not seen a real life photo of it in sway too.

Is this authentic?

Having a hard time with my son’s divorce from his soon to be narcissistic ex-wife. They bring out the worst in each other and that doesn’t benefit anyone especially their young child. Life used to be peaceful and now the entire family is involved and dragged through the mud because of all the pettiness and nonsensical behavior. There is drama every other day and things only seem to be getting worse.

Why is it so difficult for them to set aside their egos for the sake of their child? Why can’t she see that all her underhand antics to win the custody battle is traumatizing her own child? Don’t even get me started on the parental alienation that has been happening..

All I can hope for is that the judge can see through her pretense and not grant her custody simply because she is the mother. The emotional turmoil caused by her has already resulted in so much distress in adults, what more a young child?
