By Ranked #782 - Water Bottles January 6, 2009

Write your question here...I ordered 3 of the better bite bottles. All the bite tips are sealed, no opening to suck the water out of the bottle. There were no instructions.....am I supposed to use a knife and cut the tip so I can drink??? Or are these defective?? My old camelbak back pack came with the bite tip already open. Thanks, I am feeling kind of stupid!1/6/09Thanks for the response Dustin, I am going to try to cut one and see what happens. DP

Sometimes the slit seems sealed at first, just bite on it or pinch it a few times and it should open right up.

That's very unfortunate. The better bite value is suppose to come with the slit pre-cut into the silicone, you are not suppose to make the hole yourself, so yes, they are defective. Its up to you whether you wish you try it yourself, or send them back for a refund/exchange them for new ones.If this is the bottle you ordered, it doesn't have a bite valve. This one has a standard screw-off top. If you did get one with a bite valve and it doesn't have a hole in it, they're defective. However, if you got the bottle on this page, just unscrew the lid and enjoy your drink.
