Full details
The RAF Vulcan 170ml Hip Flask is an ideal companion for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs who appreciate classic British engineering, offering a durable and stylish way to carry beverages during outdoor events or weekend excursions. While its compact 6oz capacity is perfect for portability, users should be aware that the metallic construction requires careful hand-washing to maintain the finish and should avoid leaving acidic liquids inside for extended periods to preserve the material integrity.

FAQs
How much liquid does this flask hold?
The flask has a capacity of approximately 170ml, which is equivalent to 6 fluid ounces.
Is the flask dishwasher safe?
No, the flask is not dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is required to protect both the internal integrity and the exterior artwork.
Can I put carbonated drinks in the flask?
It is not recommended to store carbonated drinks, as the pressure can build up and potentially cause leaks or damage to the cap seal.
Is the artwork printed or a sticker?
The flask features high-quality, full-colour Vulcan artwork designed to be durable for everyday use as an officially licensed product.
Does it come with a funnel?
The product includes the flask and a matching gift box; a funnel is not listed as included, so you may wish to use a small kitchen funnel for filling.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the printed design.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty opening the screw-top lid
Ensure the threads are clean and free of sticky residue. If the cap feels stuck due to pressure changes, grip the flask firmly and apply steady, even pressure while twisting.
Metallic taste in beverages
Rinse the flask thoroughly with a mixture of water and a teaspoon of baking soda, then rinse again with fresh water to neutralize any lingering odors or tastes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, it is recommended to rinse the inside of the flask with warm water and a small amount of mild, food-safe detergent to remove any production residue. To maintain the Vulcan artwork, never submerge the entire flask in water or use abrasive sponges on the exterior; a simple wipe-down with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. To keep the flask in top condition, ensure it is completely dry on the inside before storing it for long periods. Do not store sugary or acidic drinks (like juices) in the flask for more than 24 hours, as this can degrade the internal lining over time.
