i do most of my drinking out of a .5 L. soft sided platypus bottle. would i have a problem with "stirring" or "agitating" to make sure all the water is treated properly? or is there some type of adapter cap i would need?

You may have a problem with the tube that doesn't get UV'd. I'd recommend taking off the tube when using the Steri-pen, ensuring the tube is ABSOLUTELY dry and then reconnecting it - the same is true of the mouthpiece.

you shouldn't have any problems with the stirring or agitation, there may be an issue with the minimum diameter of the platypus bottle top. The top should be bigger than the base of the pen in order to fully accept the steripen into the bottle. If you can fit a quarter through the top of the bottle, it should be fine.
