Flask FAQs

• How should I clean my flask?
  Cleaning your flask is as simple as can be. Shortly after using it, empty it of any remaining alcohol. Take a paper towel and wet it with warm water. Use this to clean around the lid and screw on cap. Fill your flask with warm water and let it stand for 10 minutes. Shake it with the cap closed and empty. That's it.
  
  
  
• Can I use my flask to hold other fluids besides alcohol?
  There is no reason you can't use our flasks for purposes other than holding liquor. Although the vast majority of our customers only use our flasks for holding alcohol, we have had a few that have used them for other purposes. Some of these include holding mixed drinks, hot sauces or other condiments, water and juices. If you do use a stainless steel flask for any reason besides holding alcohol, be sure to fill it up shortly before using it (don't leave anything besides alcohol in a flask overnight) and empty it and rinse it with warm water shortly after using it.
  
  
  
• What are flasks made of?
  Our flasks are made of either pure stainless steel or lead-free pewter. Some metal flasks are wrapped in genuine leather.
  
  
  
• How do you fill a flask?
  You can fill a flask using a flask funnel. The opening to most flasks are very narrow, so alcohol can not be poured directly in from the bottle. A liquor bottle pourer can also be used.
  
  
  
• What sizes do flasks come in?
  The most common flask sizes are 6 and 8 ounces, however there are a whole bunch of other sizes available. Keychain flasks hold 1 ounce of liquor. Smaller style flasks, miniature flasks carry as little as 2 ounces. A classic pocket flask, which is long and narrow holds 5 ounces. Recently, larger flasks have increased in popularity. These are novelty items and range from 18 ounces, all the way up to 64 ounces.
  
  
  
• How are flasks personalized?
  Stainless steel and pewter flasks (as well as leather flasks with a steel engraving plate) are personalized using a diamond tip engraving cutter. The engraving instructions are entered into a computer. The computer relays a message to the engraving machine and the engraving machine drags the diamond tip bit (which looks just like a drill bit but with a diamond tip) across the surface of the flask to form the message.
  
  Leather flasks are done a little differently. Leather flasks (again, that don't have a steel engraving plate), are engraved user a laser engraver. Basically, the computer again send the message to the laser engraving machine, but now, a laser is used to burnish the leather with the message of your choice.
  
  
  
• How is a monogram engraved?
  We actually did a whole blog post on this that will walk you through the proper way to engrave a monogram. You can find it HERE
  
  
  
• I'm stumped on what to engrave on my flask, do you have any ideas?
  We wrote a blog post on this, offering some flask engraving ideas: Engraving Ideas for Zippo Lighters . You can see, the words you can have engraved on a flask can range from funny to sentimental, with everything in between. The important things to remember is to make it personal to the recipient.
  
  
  
• Can I carry a flask on an airplane?
  The short answer is yes, as long as its empty. You cannot carry a flask filled with alcohol in your carry on bag. You can, however, carry a flask filled with alchohol in your checked luggage. It is important to note that it has to be be sealed tightly, if not, you run the risk of having it taken from you. All this being said, we have heard of many people that had no problem bringing a flask filled with bourbon or scotch (or some other spirit) onto a plane. The worst that can happen is they take it from you.
  
  
  
• Is there a minimum age to carry a flask?
  No, there isn't. There is a minimum age to carry a flask filled with alcohol, the minimum drinking age (21 in the United States). So an empty flask, or a flask filled with a non-alcoholic beverage is legal to carry at any age. A flask filled with alcohol is bound by the same laws as any other type of alcohol.
  
  
  
• Can I carry a flask in my pants or jacket pocket?
  Many larger flasks, 6 ounces or more are too large to carry in your jean's pocket, possibly even in your jacket pocket. The ideal flask to carry in your jeans pocket is a small flask, about 2 ounces. The ideal flask for a jacket pocket is a 5 ounce tall or slim flask.
  
  
  
• What type of lids are available for flasks?
  There are 2 types of lids for flasks, a captive top and a loose top. Both screw on but the captive top is attached to the flask, making it harder to misplace. The loose top is just as its name describes, loose.
  
  
  
• Do pewter flasks contain lead?
  All pewter flasks are made from 100% pure, lead free pewter.
