I just got this Vargo Ti EDC bottle (delivered today, (6/11/19) from Amazon Prime, in the “Warehouse Deals” section for significantly less than the full retail price. I paid just $86 after tax. It arrived in brand new condition and while I haven’t actually used it yet, I do like the size and feel in hand. The lid produces a horrendous metal on metal sound but I think that can be mitigated with a little food-safe lubricant of some sort. I’ll have to research that. Any suggestions? (see screenshot: there were 2 items in my order, which explains the total cost being higher than $86)

allemanderTi on Ti threads do that. They grind, have sandy feel to it and make noises. I'm not sure if food grade lube will help much. I wouldn't want to taste or feel the lube on my lips every time I drink out of the bottle though.

allemanderI own the competitor to the Vargo (Boundless Voyage), which I think is probably coming from the same Chinese factory. In any case, if I'm right, the Vargo should have the same threads as a Nalgene bottle. I bought mine a camelbak plastic cap and it's worked flawlessly. Keep in mind, plastic is really an issue when the liquid heats and comes in contact with it over time. As long as this bottle is kept vertical, the liquid won't touch the cap (which is BPA free in any case).
