LMAO Im just imaging this guy going crazy telling all his family members to try this out.. and them telling him "Oh, I can taste it" and it driving him mad that he's the only one who can't.. Like he's being gaslit into insanity lmaooo
😂😂😂
What are the best flavors? Thinking about getting one.
I love the pineapple , orangeade, peach iced tea - all of those with sparkling water are so good@@soupnfresh
I just got mixed berry and watermelon not tried it yet tho@ItzLui0
@ItzLui0 Thanks!
I can taste the flavours - I cannot untaste them. It is insane to me how some people really taste (like me) and others don't. I am loving airup
Yeh I'm completely confused
I subscribed back with the first video, I like your style and your open minded thoughts. I will keep watching for sure! Glad it worked out with that one video.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Amazing video, love the honesty and really appreciate it
That's what this channel is about.
Awesome review, just watched the first one, then seen in the comments that you wanted to do second part, clicked on the channel and there it is. Thank you very much for your honesty in this review, I am thinking about getting one as I don't like drinking straight water, though the costs are something that keeps me away. Nonetheless great video, very informative and pleasant to watch, thank you for spending your time and money on this review. Have a great day.
You're timing is impeccable, given that the old video is like 5 months old you just watched both in quick succession. Loving the support. If you're based in the states you may want to be look at Cirkul. I've been keeping my eye on it but its not available in the UK and it looks like something that would work for everyone
I'm in Europe actually, the cirkul looks really promising, quite sad it's US only at the time. Let's hope they expand so we can check it out.
If I can ask, how do you like it? How "economic" it is? @ItzLui0
Really not worth it. Just spent $150 to try every pod only to taste water. Granted I didn’t do my research I expected it to actually taste like the flavor, I can smell it but the taste is straight water. Complete waste. They deff don’t tell the entire truth on the website, but I guess they couldn’t say it doesn’t actually taste like anything because then people wouldn’t buy. Oh well goodluck to you
@ItzLui0 almost as if he expects marketing to be accurate to what they're selling. Why are you shilling for this company? Are they paying you?
I've noticed that my family member that tried it and said the same thing as Riley they are the family members that lost there taste and smell during covid but the family members that said it was strong did not loose there taste and smell.
I don't know what to say @pear. I didn't lose my taste buds during COVID. In fact I never ever got ill during. My smell and taste are just fine. It's the product that's a gimmick. I can taste the flavours they are just too weak to justify buying in my opinion
Makes sense.
I’m in the beginning of the vid.. Your 2 videos is what is going to determine wether I get it or not lol
Keep grinding my boy 💪🏽🔥
So have you decided whether you're going to chance it and make a purchase?
I subscribed after the first video because I bought the air up bottle and I am looking at reviews
Hmmm, I just got an Airup and enjoyed this video, I watched the first a couple of days ago before I ordered. Strangely I agree with you both, it is subjective, and I don't get smacked in the face with the flavour (only tried orangeade so far) but it's just enough to make me drink water, I don't mind water, but I find myself reaching for this more than a bottle of water.
Previous comments mention Cirkul, I probably would have gone for that over Airup in theory but it's not available in UK. I was very cautious of the mixed reviews of Airup, so I understood before I purchased that the flavour was subtle (think flavoured tea over cordial or flavoured bottled water), so my expectations weren't super high, but I was expecting similar to Riley and getting nothing, so when I did get something I was suitably impressed.
Great video, I enjoyed the banter between you, and I now have some ideas on future flavours.
try it with sparkling water. Orangeade and pineapple is SO much stronger with sparkling water
Thanks for watching. I think your explanation is spot on. Think more like flavoured tea. Maybe if I had a stronger sense of taste I would enjoy the product more.
This was funny. I get what your wife means in terms of switching plain water and other drinks and calories. I don't get notifications so I always end up having to play catch up on your videos. Great video.
It's interesting that you didn't get notification for this one. One of my best performing videos. Then again it is slightly different to what I usually post. Happy Easter
You should try Cirkul, I haven't tried it personally, and it isn't scent based, but it seems to actually work (which makes sense, as it actually gives the water flavour), but you can apparently adjust how strong and how much it gives as well.
Yes a few viewers have mentioned it. Might give it a go
I just ordered my first bottle and flavors. Even if the flavor will be faint, it will help consume more water, and not drink sodas and flavored water too often. I'd say it is worth it. We'll see
That's true, I mean it is better than plain water but only marginally better
Love my Air Up ❤. Not every pod is strong, but I like the citrus ones the most, like raspberry-lemon, yuzu rosemary or the melon ones. I drink a lot more water since using the Air Up.
👍
true
I drink more now with my Air up.
Great reveiw!
Thanks
I would probably get a great ammount of flavor from this! I have always had a strange way of converting taste to smell. Like the other night my wife and I had mexican food and the shredded chicken gave me straight up un scented anti bacterial soap vibes!
I've read about this. You're what would be referred to as a super taster. So for instance cooking when cooking a sauce if the wooden spoon was left in you would be able to taste the wood.
I have this!! I used to think pineapple tasted of baby wipes, but it turns out my mum alays wiped the chopping board with baby wipes before cutting pineapple - no clue why
I think you have to do another review on Air Up. I really belive there is a design flaw on the bottle! I just got my first bottle and the taste and sensation is much stronger when the flavor-pod is DOWN and not UP! PLEASE TRY IT!
Another review??? Nah I'm alright. Already done two reviews. More than enough!
Does anyone know why when I pull the pod up the water gets croaky and I basically choke am I just pulling it up to far ?
No that's the bottle being activated
Completely agree with you my guy. I've had mine for around 2 years now and never tasted any 'flavour', only water. So no matter what you do, you will never taste it.
Your Mrs is 100% capping, wanting a brand deal😂
ppl are diff, i taste mine at the start and it turns into water at the end. I use tangerine. Its just not for every1
😄😄😄😄😄 I think you're right
you should try the new cherry kola if you did not.. i think its pretty good better then all the other flavours
I think I'll pass. I've tried enough flavours to confirm this product isn't for me and I definitely won't be making another video on it.
I bought one last year and have used it every day since they are great I have the charcoal and orange clear bottle like the one in the vid First I thought they were crap couldn’t taste nothing then about two weeks later I took another go didn’t really taste anything but kept using it as a water bottle The more I used the same scents (still changing every two weeks) flavours got stronger they hit the sweet spot around the end of the first week may I recommend that you disinfect a glass put water in it warm water is best drop in the new pod for tens seconds leave it on a tea towel to dry for an hour then use it as normal Sometimes the foam inside of the pod gets dry However I’m not backing it up they are a waste of money and overpriced they are great but too expensive and advertised as something there not
I think if Cirkul comes to the UK it will completely wreck air up as it appears to be a product that works for everyone. I'm paying close attention to it being available here as I'd like to review it myself. As for air up it just doesn't work the way I want it to work. I prefer just drinking plain water.
I guess if you don't have such a sweet craving it can be worth it
Are you referring to Cirkul here or air up with the 11 brands of flavouring ?
@@RileySerola air up
You should get a cirkul bottle. its cheaper and its a flavor cartridge. my only issue with it is that i forget about it and the flavor cartridge like goes stale and kinda molds because its full of water
I think he lives in the UK since he refenced the price in pounds. Cirkul isn't available in uk and importing their pod things ends up being expensive.
Yep, I checked and it costs an arm, a leg and a kidney
Hey! Good video, its just one thing that i have noticed. And that is: somebody has more space between their nose and mouth than others. And if that is the case for you two, then that would explain why the woman can get so much more taste/flavor.
Interesting theory. Makes sense
Forgive me if someone has already said this but in my instructions it says pull the pod up to deactivate it and the water is no longer scented. Still doesn’t taste of anything but chemicals though.
You're not the first person to say this but I followed the instructions verbatim. And I know it's pulling up to activate because it makes that weird bubble sound and I taste a hint of something. When I push it down it doesn't make the bubbling sound and tastes like very plain water
This video was great. I just bought one and agree with Riley, it’s just an extremely mild hint. It’s weird
I don't understand how people can say the flavour is so strong
If she is tilting it then you can tilt it but somehow the air up who made it are expecting that we should breath or smell the pod at the same time as we are drinking they should re program this
Well there's people still buying it so they are doing something right
I added a little agave sugar to it! It makes a big difference
Yeh and what's the point of that?
To add a little flavor to it
@@reggeesexpressionsBut the point of the bottle is to help you start drinking PLAIN water..
I think I'll try one for Christmas, I am bad about drinking water so I like the idea. It seems to be something that's just so different from person to person so I'd really just like to try it out for myself. By the way, I really liked having her point of view along with yours, because you both brought up good points. Thanks for the part 2!
Was looking into this too, Cirkul has been great for me. Kind of expensive but if you drink soda every day its a good alternative. I have never turned my cirkul dial up past 2 and its always been good taste wise. I dont know about this though. I might try it.
Cirkul makes more sense to me as it seems to be a product that works for everyone. Wish it was officially here in the UK so I could give it a through review but the only way of getting it is paying crazy shipping fees and taxes so I'll pass on that. Air up I guess if it works well for you is a stellar product especially because it's not adding anything to the water but it seems too many ppl like me don't have a great experience with it.
Also I feel that their marketing is misleading as you get the perception that you will be hit with an explosion 💥 of flavour 🤯. Not quite!
Got my girlfriend one, we're same as you lol. I dont taste jack s***t but chemicals, meanwhile she loves it.
If i had to guess i like drinking a lot of fanta and energy drinks and stuff but literally all she drinks is water so shes probably more sensitive where as I'm expecting actual flavour.
Maybe that's it. I'm the same as you. I have a sweet tooth.
It's really not just taste it's air bubbles as well that go through the straw
Yes I should have commented on the air bubbles
I just got mine and it’s very weak like u said, I don’t think it varies to person I think some people are just fine with a weak taste
Hmm. I just think a product like this shouldn't vary from person to person
i got one for christmas and i really like it, but other people i know said it has no taste. For me its amazing, but i guess it isnt for everyone
I guess you are one of the fortunate ones then
Based on how many people I’ve seen in person try it it varies from person to person some taste exactly what pod there using for example me when I use the water melon pod I literally taste exactly water melon but when I let my cousins try it they don’t taste anything just a small mild taste? so I’m really confused but I think it depends on the person I’m not sure 🤷♂️
Yes I've concluded based on the comments I've received that that is probably the case
I heard that lemon rasberry and watermelon are the strongest pod’s
Maybe you can try them and let the viewers know. Sadly I won't be making anymore content on this.
I love my Air up ❤️I can taste every flavour 👍
Well you're one of the fortunate ones. I honestly don't like the product.
I want to see you try the Cirkul water bottle.
They need to bring it to the UK first
Well as i said last video you can reset the bottle and maybe you can taste it and another thing i said maybe its not for everyone
Yeh it's definitely not for everyone. I'm living proof of that and so are some of the people in the comments below 👇
Try Nasal irrigation to clear out your sinuses. That will make it way easier to taste the Air Up. @Riley Serola
You know you're the first person that has offered a solution that I think makes a lot of sense and is actually useful advice. Maybe that's something I do need to do but to do that just for the sake of tasting air up is a bit extreme
Thanks! 😂@@RileySerola
l live in Germany..l bought a Air up today. l payed 30.Euros for the bottle. l was disapointed because their wasn't a free Pod in the box for starters. l had too go back to the store and buy Pods.😢
And did it work?
l'm like you l drink lots and lots of water all day long. l can smell real good. l would not buy it again. Thank you for sharing my friend. 🌹💖
Is the bottle making a sound when sipping
Yes it is, my mic just isn't picking it up. I'm not into that whole asmr
Yeah man, I got the ‘yodelling air up’ bottle.
When you tried this, did you swallow the water instantly or keep it in your mouth for a bit? I read somewhere that you're supposed to just swallow it, because if you try to taste it with your mouth/tongue it'll taste even weaker since the "taste" isn't in the water. :D
Either way, too bad it doesn't work for you. I'm glad your wife could use it though so it doesn't go to waste.
Yeh that actually makes sense since it's scent based. To answer your question I swallow it immediately. I even take a long pull of water so I'm swallowing constantly and I feel that it's necessary do that in order to get even the faint hit of flavour.
FYI she barely used it and when she did mainly without the pods. Now she uses another bigger size water bottle gifted by work. Doesn't touch the thing.
I am going to try it because i am stuck drinking water the rest of my life because i have diabetes so i cant use cirkul because it not good for diabetes which break my heart
I am going to try air up, but i wouldn't put my hope high
God this sux 😢
Why is cirkul bad for diabetes. What does it have in it that's bad for diabetics? And how did you get on with the air up. Did it work?
I just hot this for my friend as a Christmas present and they said that it gave them headaches and stuff. Total waste of money. Not to mention the return policy is terible. Wish i saw your revew of it before i bought it.
Gave them headaches? Ok what the hell are even in these pods to be causing that.
Did you get it on the air up app
Got in on the website
I have buyed a one off dose air flavoured pod I drink water lots I think I will give it a try 😎👍
Guessing it worked for you
@@RileySerola yes
@@RileySerola yes the air up bottle worked for me
@@RileySerolayes it did work
Just try a cirkul water bottle and get some pods for the cirkul bottle
Will do soon
When you drink it, did you inhale?
You cannot drink and inhale simultaneously. It's is psychologically impossible. When you swallow there are things that occur in your airways and in your brain that prevent this. That is a scientific fact.
This was funnier than 75% of the stuff on Saturday night tv 😂😂 Riley, you keep saying everything tastes weak, but it’s not like drinking squash. It’s supposed to be an essence while you’re getting water. I agree, the whole concept is effing stupid, but the world is stupid nowadays. Everyone’s senses are different innit. Only ponces will buy this.
😂😂😂😂😂 yh I admit if I didn't have this channel I would never buy it.
Or maybe all your senses are broken 🤯
@@stilla1553 Well, if that were the case I wouldn't taste/smell anything at all, which wasn't' the case
I’ll be honest I think if you have your nose closer to your mouth than others you will taste it more
@natixxx9330 I think that is true tbh cuz my nose is closer to my mouth and I cab taste my mom can taste it too and her nose is closer her mouth but rileys nose is not and the girl the vid her nose is oooo this makes sense
I think the watermelon scent tasted the best probably because it's actually water 😂
Didn't think to try that one but I think 9 flavours in the second video and 2 in the first has confirmed that this product is not for me.
I wonder how many people who can "taste" the air up pods also hate cilantro/coriander. Because it tastes horribly overpowering and soap like to me, and I really hate it. It ruins any foods its in for me. And I just got my Air Up yesterday and I can "taste" it fairly clearly, in a similar intensity as you could taste infused water or flavored sparkling water (the type that doesn't have sweeteners).
Interesting I love coriander and I guess the Mrs doesn't mind it
Can you review the Selah water bottle?
Thanks for bringing selah to my attention. It's not available in the UK but Ive found a loop hole . Watch this space
There's a difference between having different opinions with someone and shutting them down because they can taste something and you can't. Honestly just respect your wife's opinion and stop disagreeing with her when she thinks a flavour is good when you think it's bad. Everyone has a different sense of smell and opinion. Just sit there and listen to what she has to say without having to butt in every now and then to say that she's "capping".
You know you're very silly. It's called entertainment.
@@RileySerola Well consider me unentertained.
Im curious i orderd this today i went for the basic classic one is there besides the cool any difference between the two?
Yes the clear one doesn't keep the water chilled. Edit* clearly didn't read your message properly. No there is no other difference.
@@RileySerola i orderd ie and agree with you but i think i depends from the pod i think sometimes i taste something sometimes bareley not a 100% onvinced
You should try cherry kola its amazing its super strong
I know right
@@M_AHIR159 ye
Yeh I think I'll pass
@@RileySerola Alr
My dude said ''Are you cappin'?!'' lmao, I feel his frustration. My gf can taste the flavours like she's eating the actual fruit, meanwhile I feel like I'm going insane trying to taste stuff lmao
She doesn't even use the bottle anymore. So much for tasting the flavours
Are you capping?! Haha I like the discussion 😂
😄😄
the way i "taste" it more is u have to exhale through the nose so it tricks u into thinking u tasted something
Look, I think I made it clear in the review that I do taste something. That something is just super weak.
Lol you guys give me jokes!
Thabks. We just feeestyled the whole way
Because it’s sparkling water
Because it's sparkling water what?
The taste is more pronounced with sparkling water.
I have to say that I bought this product hoping for something nice. The first pod I tried was iced coffee and it made me gag. The next was apple and I was nearly ill-its a fail from me.
Wow, sounds like you had it really bad. That's a shame
As he had Covid? I know people who now can't taste it.
Never fell ill during the pandemic. It has nothing to do with COVID. It's the product.
I think you have to wait a bit before drinking it.
Apparently as you use it more the more flavour it has
@@toof611gaming4 ya. thats what i heard.
Yeh I disagree. I still have the bottle and it's the same as it was the day I first opened it.
i think he's just not breathing while drinking, if you smell the lemon while your drinking then you wont get the taste.
I don't know what to tell you cos you're convicted in your statement. It is physically impossible to drink and breathe in simultaneously.
You naturally take small breaths through your nose between the sips. Your nasal passages go through your mouth as well. Maybe you were tasting the steel in that bottle. I also bought the cleaning straw. I don't like coconut, so I know I don't want to buy that one. Some people's sense of smell is weaker. That may be the reason it isn't nice for him . I used to put lemons in my water but then kept injuring my finger. This concept is better.
Makes sense.
"...a hint of chemical weakness..." 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
,😄
It might be because you’re not breathing while sipping the water !!!
Physiologically IMPOSSIBLE
I see many silly techniques to try in these comments to make it work so I want to join in with a stupid silly one too! Try blinking fast when sipping, it will improve the flavour! lol
Love it 😄
you dident fully activate it
Why comment when it's so obvious you skipped the video
Just smell a candle while you drink
Physically impossible
0:44 He lookin at her like she talkin crazy
😄😄😄
Press and eat. I am Korean.
???
Saved me a s**t load if money bruv 😊
You are welcome
I’m guessing u have to breath in while u drink
Physically impossible
That so strange when I fart I I get the sense of eggs🙄😂
🙄
Try cirkul
When they come to England I will
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful the lady is. ❤
Thanks for watching 😄
Yousupposed to smell it while drinking
You can't breathe through your nose when you're drinking therefore you can't smell it while drinking
If it’s not making a noice sell it
It does make a noise. I just don't crank up my mic to play it back. Not really into that whole asmr thing.
I prefer cirkul
its not available in uk, (i think this youtuber is in uk) i wish it was as I have heard loads of good things about it
There is a way to stil get it shipped to UK but it cost an arm and a leg so I think I'll wait till they make it available here.
Maybe it's your toothpaste or mouthwash that's throwing your taste off. Maybe try it with or after food?
Toothpaste!? Mouthwash!? I thought I heard everything but this is a new one. This is a scent based drink and I can smell the pods just fine. It just doesn't work for me.
@@RileySerola You never had food taste differently because of your toothpaste or mouthwash? Bizarre! The smell of toothpaste and mouthwash travels to your senses. You learned something new today!
If you say so.
@@RileySerola Everyone knows this. Makes me wonder if you even brush your teeth.
There is something wrong. It is that guy😂😂😂😂
Trust me, there's nothing wrong with me. There's something wrong with the product.
10:43
What's with the date stamp ?
He should go see a doctor, and really question his sense of smell. People do absolutely have different levels of smell, I can guarantee you hers is probably a 8 out 10, him a 3 out of 10
On the contrary, I have a very strong sense of smell and even smell things at times she does not. Also I do not claim to not taste anything just that the taste is extremely weak in the background. She has even admitted that water infused with fruit is way stronger so this product really is just a gimmick.
how can’t you taste anything
You're obviously one of the lucky ones that can taste everything. In fairness I didn't say I can't taste anything. Just that the flavours are massively weak.
@@RileySerola i actually never tried it😅
Its the beard
😂😂
She was tilting it the whole time
I think we proved it doesn't make any difference. She could taste it and I deemed it weak
I TASTE WEAKNESS
,,😄
Bro, i think the reason he doesn't taste it more is because his nose is a lot further than the woman next to her when they drink. Who knows? Also it might just be switching his anger button lol.
😄😄😄😄
It's your mustache bro that's blocking the scent😂lol. Next review with without mustache you will thank me later😊
🤣🤣🤣
Bro mad asf 🤣
Was but this video has paid for the bottle over and over again so I'm calm now.
@@RileySerola understandable lol
I can’t lie the flavours are not strong at all a few seconds flavour then it’s so weak my I ad literally not a strong flavour so so disappointing, it’s so disappointing because you pay so much for a water bottle and the flavours are so weak, why would you bring out more bottles the GEN two bottles et cetera then not try and fix the issue of the weak flavours first of all as you want strong flavours
I think some ppl clearly have some super strong sense of smell that it tricks them into tasting something intense. For me I taste something very weak in the background. Better off slicing up some fruit and dashing it in water
the water stays fresh because the chlorine cant evaporate in it xD
What are you talking about 😄
@@RileySerola in the water you consume at home is chlorine that evaporates in a glas but doesnt in a bottle thats why it "tastes" fresh (we got used to it)
Chlorine doesn't make water taste great so I don't know how you can say it tastes fresh. I use filters cos I cannot stand the taste of tap water.
Yeah the ones that taste it are sponsored 😂
Well if it's sponsored it's hard to say it doesn't work. As I made clear in the video it does work but it's just too faint. Not worth the money in my opinion but it must work for some people since they are manufacturing and selling the pods.
You should open a pod, it gets worse lol
Explain please?
what a waste of time your video was enough for me :D
You are welcome
Maybe because you have a mustache. Maybe you can't smell it as much because the flavor has to go through your mustache.
Please tell me you're trolling 😄😄😄
Wootah
Lol making fun of my south London accent I see 😂
Waw-tuh!
😂😂😂 this is a gimmick 😂😂
Indeed
This bottle is a scam , the gen2 is absolut bs
There's a gen 2 lol
I think it just depends on how mentally gullible you are.
So are you saying I'm mentally robust and don't allow air up to trick my brain 🧠 ? 😄
