YETI's Chug Cap Threads Stripping - Why this is so Common (and How to Avoid It)

Update 1/23/2023
Someone gave us feedback after we posted this video saying that their threads stripped because they used a hot drink, and the heat made the threads more malleable, causing them to fail. If you want to use a hot drink like coffee or tea, a better lid option would be the Hot Shot lid.
If you’ve already purchased a YETI Chug Cap and have experienced this thread issue, reach out to YETI for a replacement.

I used my Yeti for hot water and it also caused the threads to go. It lasted over a year though. The caps are so expensive to replace... Thanks for showing alternative caps though.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Sorry this happened to you too. For the price, you would hope it'd last a lot longer than that!

@lyndylivingstone 10 дней назад

The hot shot cap is much better suited to hot drinks and the chug cap label states its not for hot drinks. I never had a cross threading issue but the issue I do have is that the small o-ring in the top part of the cap keeps falling out. Now that it's lost the cap is not water tight.

@vmobile890 Месяц назад

Great comments had similar problems with HOT liquid and plastic screw on of other brands . Now I will label accordingly each Hot or Cold container .

@VladimirCravet Год назад

Exactly!!! Four months of daily use and the tread is gone. I wasn't abusing it but pour in it hot tea maybe thats the issue. It can't handle hot for long. Anyway, it was a gift and I didn't pay much. Now, buying new rambler® bottle chug cap for $13.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Sorry it happened to you too! Heat seems to be a recurring theme with the failures, so it must be the heat making the black plastic too soft and malleable.

@stevesnowling9585 11 месяцев назад

Well, if it's the chug cap that you're using for hot liquids it's not designed to be used with them, the hot shot cap is what you need!

@jc_alpha Год назад

This video is incredibly well made. Thank you! I was planning buy my first yeti and I’m glad I came across this video.

@hhectell Год назад

great bottles, but that cap needs to be pulled until they fix this

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thanks for the comment! They're still good bottles, but you might want to consider the Magdock lid instead. The only downside of that one is that it doesn't have a handle, and which may or may not be as big of an issue depending on which size bottle you're looking to get. But other than that it's basically a better chug cap in our opinion.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Yea, it shouldn't be too hard to improve the design. If they just made a Magdock lid with a handle, that'd be perfect!

@jloaiza9188 3 месяца назад

Ive own my 36oz for 35 years with no issues i love yeti !

@Bmr4life 2 месяца назад

yours is obviously made a long ago when they were good

@ayrtontv6025 2 месяца назад

You definitely have to Triple haul cap not the new chug cap. Triple haul cap is great and far superior than the chug cap

@Meccarox Год назад

Appreciate this video

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thank you!

@arnoldlayne9469 Год назад

Thank you for making videos.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thanks, hopefully they've helped!

@danielgomez6195 Год назад

Never had an issue myself, maybe some people just need to be alittle more careful.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Yea, I'm sure being more careful can always help, but there have been enough people who said this happened to them during normal use, especially when using hot drinks, that I think it's more of a design issue. The lid could be redesigned some to prevent the issue from happening to so many people. For example, hydro flask's flex chug seems to have a better thread design that is more durable. Hard to tell for sure though either way, and we've had a very wide range of comments and responses on this video!

@CheddarbobN Год назад

I literally couldnt get my lid off the second day still sits in cupboard

@suzannetaylor6285 Год назад

Me either! I switched it out for a straw lid.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Very weird. Was it from the threads being messed up, or something else like an issue with suction? We've had some weird things happen to us with bottle lids seeming much tighter after major elevation changes (Colorado). Must have created some suction issues from the pressure difference in the bottle vs outside.

@enricorizzo9318 Год назад

Same thing happened to me just once I land it was from over tightening 😂 got it off no damage snugs all it needs

@2Goldens1Rott 4 месяца назад

Yeti should put torq specs on the cap. 😂 I went into the yeti store because I’ve had two chug caps fail me. Same issue. Store clerk told me it’s from over tightening. I called bullshit. I am a mechanical individual and know better. Pointed the blame on me. That’s nonsense. I called him out on it and said this is a known problem. He didn’t have much to say but admitted that there has been several complaints. I run a small business and would not point this flaw on the user. It’s clearly an issue. Own it yeti! And build a better cap. Typical corporate BS.

@jesinbeverly Год назад

I use my Yeti with hot liquids... It's my opinion that this softens the plastic material, making the threads weaker and more prone to stripping. I've gone through three of these lids. The bottle top is fine.. I don't want to buy anymore of those. I just need the lids. BTW.. I tighten the lid to the point where it doesn't leak. No tighter.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

This is exactly what one other YETI customer mentioned to us, so I'm glad you left this comment. A lot of people over-tighten the lid way more than is needed, and that certainly can wear it out more. And the other customer specifically mentioned what you did about how their threads stripped when they had a hot beverage in their bottle. I wish I had tested that part of it more before posting the video, but maybe that'll be a future update.

@LaMostraVia Год назад

Yeah I’ve bought 4-5 yetis all different sizes and all 5 caps stripped. Seriously thought I was the only one experiencing this. Thought I was buying a high quality container turns out it’s just high priced junk

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Sorry to hear this. That's a lot of lids (& money). Do you put hot drinks in your YETIs? A lot of people have commented that they think the heat led to their stripped threads because it made the plastic softer.

@LaMostraVia Год назад

@@bottlepro3252 very rare as in once every few months on a Saturday nothing crazy. But I do work in construction and it’s gotten knocked around a tad. They also get exposed to extreme hot and cold temps as I work outdoors which may also contribute and speed up wear and tear. But I still don’t feel that the price is justified. Lots of people take them hiking/vacationing/etc so you’d think they’d be solid. I don’t know maybe I’m doing it wrong which I’m ok with

@ayrtontv6025 2 месяца назад

Just get a triple haul cap it will fix all your problems

@danielnuno8620 Месяц назад

I just bought a Yeti so will see how it turns out, but on the label it clearly states no hot drinks for this model. I will only use if for cold water so will reply to this comment in the future to see what happens.

@bottlepro3252 Месяц назад

Yea you should be good. Hot drinks seemed to be the most common thread connecting the comments from people who said it happened to them. I'm not entirely sure why there was such a high concentration of comments about the thread issue when I made this video, but the times I checked again after that I didn't see any other similar comments so if it was related to a manufacturing batch issue then maybe that was resolved too. Not sure we'll ever really know.

@jeffkovene4420 7 месяцев назад

Hot liquids soften plastic increasing the risk of thread damage.

@TheOriginalFSword Год назад

Another problem is that you can’t find the standard lid any more. I guess it’s discontinued?

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Do you mean the one in this link? It's the one that usually comes with YETI wide mouths that you have to completely screw on-and-off to take drinks. I do seem to remember some of their lids being in-and-out of stock recently, so maybe they just got back in stock. amzn.to/3pFqjRW

@TheOriginalFSword Год назад

Yes, that’s the one but it’s not available in Amazon. Actually I also asked Yeti directly and they said it’s indeed discontinued. If there is a place to buy from please share.

@Flip5773 Год назад

never had any issues with this lid

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thanks for letting us know. We're a little confused too since we've gotten a lot of feedback both ways about this issue. It might be a batch-related issue during manufacturing, but we're not completely sure.

@IsekaiApostle Месяц назад

For the price the lids should be stainless steel too. If there’s going to be plastic of any kind then I’ll gladly stick with Iron Flask.

@josephcienfuegos5016 Месяц назад

I wanted to buy a yeti chug cap and found this youtube video, now I’m worried 😭😭, does anyone know if yeti has fixed the problem?

@bottlepro3252 Месяц назад

You're probably good. Not sure why there was such a high concentration of bad reviews about it when I posted the viceo, but I checked a few times since then and didn't notice more. Hoping they fixed it.

@Mike-kc8rl Год назад

I have never experienced this problem with my chug cap , I was curious, so i looked into it after seeing this video and others and was not able to cross mine ,not that tried to hard! I believe that it must be down to the way users are trying to fit it? Or I have a modified lid ,if Yeti have changed the design, but I doughty that?

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Yea, we've been getting feedback both ways, with some people saying they had the issue happen and others like you saying they've used this cap for awhile and never have. Someone said it happened to them when they had a hot drink in their bottle, and they thought the heat made the plastic threads softer. Maybe it's a manufacturing issue with one batch of lids, but we're not really sure!

@QuieroCake Год назад

I been using yeti bottles with this lid for years and never had this issue. I have over 10 of them with same lid and no issues.

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thanks for the comment. We've been getting feedback that's all over the place. Some people have had this problem a few times, and some people like you have never had it haopen. Makes me wonder if it might be a batch manufacturing kind of issue that only affects some of these lids. And one person told us it happened to them when they were using their yeti with a hot drink and they thought the threads got soft from the heat. I'm not entirely sure.

@slyfox4564 Год назад

Maybe the older plastic is better. You know how companies will change the quality if it means they can make more profit. Ive had mine for almost a year. It started to leak and then it wouldnt tighten. The threads seem really soft

@juankescobar866 2 месяца назад

People use it for hot and they literally say they're not made for that. I was looking for things to do before first use but I guess dishwasher is all before using it?

@mohammedalkaldy5319 Год назад

I have the same problem too

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Sorry to hear this happened to you too!

@cailarchitectatopks 3 месяца назад

The Yeti chug cap exploded on my hands when I made hot chocolate 2 months ago. I went to hospital ER for large area first degree burning. The cap didn't break. It was ejected from the hot liquid. The cap was only few months old.

@HelloSnake Месяц назад

Did they ever fix this?

@bottlepro3252 Месяц назад

As far as I can tell it's better now. When I made this video, a lot of the recent reviews mentioned something about that issue. But looking at the reviews now, I don't see any recent ones complaining about it. It's hard to really know for sure with reviews though. Most people I heard from who had this issue said it was related to using hot drinks, so just use cold or room-temp water and you should be good.

@HelloSnake Месяц назад

@@bottlepro3252 That's good to hear, I may consider getting one at some point. For now I ordered an Ello Syndicate glass water bottle.

@x.3527 5 месяцев назад

“Many people” it’s a 4 star reviewed product

@bottlepro3252 5 месяцев назад

Yea, works well for a lot of people for sure. But I made this video because when I looked up YETI's website reviews at the time, about half of the recent posts were about this issue if I remember right. Maybe it was a bad batch or something and has been resolved.

@slyfox4564 Год назад

Lasted a year. 25 bucks for a new cap seems a little ridiculous as its made out of cheap plastic. I ordered the magnetic lid without the handle and ill try to get a replacement chug cap. I didnt even put hot water in it either. I only put water and sometimes coconut water. It has been leaking for a week, but i thought i just didnt tighten the cap down enough. Now the threads are soft and stripped

@bottlepro3252 Год назад

Thank you for the comment. Sorry to hear that this happened to you! It's been very weird seeing the comments come in. Some people like you have this issue happen quickly, and other people love the Chug lid and have used the same one for many years. Makes me think it's a manufacturing issue with a batch of lids or something, but we really don't know. Hopefully you're liking the MagDock lid though! That's my personal favorite YETI one. I just wish it had a handle.

@gabriellerumbolo7429 6 месяцев назад

My lid to also got stuck. I just put a drop of olive oil and it came right off.

@tomasinacovell4293 11 месяцев назад

@John-rb3nv 11 месяцев назад

nice word

@bottlepro3252 11 месяцев назад

Agreed to some degree, but I do think yeti's chug lid threads are designed in a way that they invite accidental damage more easily than other brands. At least I haven't seen a lot of issues like this with other brands that also sell a ton of bottles. Nice word by the way! I'm not too proud to admit that i had to look it up!

@Jay-ce4lo Год назад

Don't cross thread it I own yeti for years and never had this problem You're just an idiots out there always twist my backwards then tighten it and it puts the lid on right

@beehappyalways 10 месяцев назад

Yeti is Overpriced junk. Paint on tumblers is thinly applied and scratches off if you look at it sideways. I’ve had a Stanley (green) coffee thermos for over 20 years, that has been all over the country on hunting, fishing, jobs, and hikes. There are some small dents and scratches on the unpainted surfaces, but the paint is still like new.

@bottlepro3252 9 месяцев назад

Yea, I tend to agree bout YETI. Most of their products are pretty good, but I'm just not sure they're THAT good to justify those prices. A lot of what you're paying for is the word "YETI" on the bottle!

@FrankRoosevelt32 Месяц назад

Yeti is def overpriced but I wouldn’t personally call it junk. Every yeti I’ve had from a function standpoint has been as durable or more durable than any other brand I’ve used. In most cases it performs better also. To be fair, paint has always been of very little concern to me, though. I didn’t buy them for the way they look.
