4. Setup (Initial Use)

Before using your new hip flask for the first time, follow these steps to ensure cleanliness and optimal performance:

Wash Thoroughly: Unscrew the cap and rinse the inside of the flask with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a bottle brush if necessary to reach all internal surfaces.
Rinse Completely: Rinse the flask multiple times with clean, warm water until all soap residue is removed.
Dry Properly: Allow the flask to air dry completely with the cap off. For best results, store it upside down to ensure all moisture drains out.
First Fill: Before filling with your desired beverage, it is recommended to fill the flask with water and let it sit for a few hours to check for any leaks and to further cleanse the interior. Empty and dry again.

5. Operating (Usage)

Using your iSavage hip flask is straightforward:

Open the Cap: Unscrew the hinged cap counter-clockwise until it is fully open. The cap is attached to prevent loss.
Fill the Flask: Carefully pour your desired beverage into the flask. Avoid overfilling; leave a small air gap at the top. A funnel (not included) can assist in preventing spills.
Secure the Cap: Screw the cap clockwise firmly until it is tight to ensure a leak-proof seal.
Transport: Place the flask in its included black velvet bag for protection and discreet carrying.
Pouring: When ready to use, unscrew the cap and pour the beverage as needed.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your hip flask:

Cleaning: After each use, rinse the inside of the flask with warm water. For thorough cleaning, use warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely with the cap off.
Avoid Dishwashers: Do not wash the flask in a dishwasher, as this can damage the leather wrapping and the stainless steel finish.
Leather Care: The leather exterior should be wiped clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on the leather. Do not submerge the flask in water.
Storage: Store the flask in a cool, dry place with the cap slightly ajar to allow for air circulation. Use the included velvet bag for protection against scratches.
Do Not Store Beverages: Do not store alcoholic beverages in the flask for extended periods (more than 3 days). The stainless steel can react with certain spirits over time, affecting the taste.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Leakage	Cap not tightened sufficiently: Ensure the cap is screwed on firmly. Cap seal damaged: Inspect the cap's internal seal for wear or damage. Overfilling: Do not fill the flask completely to the brim.
Metallic Taste	Improper initial cleaning: Re-clean the flask thoroughly as per 'Setup' instructions. Beverage stored too long: Avoid storing spirits for more than 3 days. Certain acidic beverages can react with stainless steel.
Odor Retention	Incomplete drying: Ensure the flask is completely dry after washing. Thoroughly wash with warm soapy water and rinse multiple times. A mixture of baking soda and water can help neutralize odors, followed by thorough rinsing.
