taking things apart... just for fun

Greetings, everyone. I think the thread of... er, the thread of the title. Exactly. The title of the thread should tell you all you really need to know. So, for my first little entry here, there is a water bottle. This particular water bottle is called Circle. Now, the interesting thing about these particular water bottles is that they have little flavoring cartridges that you can put into one of them. So let's take it apart. Ah. Flavoring pouch. It's got absolutely nothing in it, I don't think. Hold on, let's see. Yep. Nothing in it. Alright. Now, if we really wanted to get all, um, technical about ourselves, what we could do... Huh. Interesting. Interesting. It does still seem to have flavor in it, maybe. It just got, like, waterlogged or something. Either way. Uh. Here we go. Um. We could... If we wanted to get all interesting about ourselves... Yep, no water. Or no flavoring. Or no anything in it. If we really wanted to get all interesting about ourselves, we could take the little pouch of where, like, the flavoring solution goes into off. Of the top of the lid. But who wants to do that? Oh, gosh. Now the way these work, it's actually kind of interesting, the way these work is water passes up through this bottom part and moves through little holes in the side of the flavoring pouch to get kind of like the flavoring, and then the flavoring, hold on, kind of just like merges, someone just dropped something down the stairs, that was interesting, it kind of like assimilates with it and comes out of the top of the bottle. Very interesting. Very interesting setup indeed, unless we take the pouch off, just to kind of make sure that there's no sign of it, whatever, oh, I actually got the pouch back on this time, I couldn't do that last time, but you can kind of take it out and there's a spout in the top of the pouch where, what's it called? Where it comes out of, and then it comes out of the top of the lid, which you drink from. It's a very interesting assembly, these cartridges, and then if you really wanted to, just so you could have a water bottle to drink from, you could just pop it, the entire assembly back in, click that on, and put the cartridge back on the bottle, and voila, you have the water bottle you could drink from, just with no flavoring, how sad.

I noticed that I wasn't being too clear with what I was doing in the process of that. So these circle cartridges that you get, to kind of explain what I was doing better, basically picture a circle, a slightly tall circle, that has a... It basically just has a lid. And when you take the... Oh, look at that, the flavoring patch came clean off. That was cool. So basically when you take the lid off, attached to the lid, usually, unless I broke it, which I just did, you'll find the flavoring pouch that I was screwing with that you can also take off of that lid, and a couple other bits, bobs, odds, and ends. And I can't get this back on anymore because I was screwing with it too much. Uh. Can I get the pouch out? So it's basically just a two-part thing. And then the water bottle itself has a circular opening in the top of it. And that's what you screw the cartridge into. And that's how you drink it. Now the cool thing about the cartridges is that they come with the lids. Like, that's what they are. They're the lids. And, um, so this thing here clicks at the top. I haven't figured out how to take this apart yet without breaking it. Honestly, I don't want to do that. So, every time you put on a new cartridge, you are basically putting on a new lid. So, it's very interesting. It's a very interesting setup. That was for just, for those of you who haven't experienced these before. Also, um, the cartridge itself has a dial on it, and you can kind of determine how much flavor you want, judging on that, on how high or low you have that dial set. So, yeah. Interesting. Stuff.
