ice in the 30 ounce yeti

Posts: 34,583
fished on sunday, really fishy day, lots of salmon and a few togue, winds were terrible, waves over the gunnels and out the back scuppers, when i say bad while fishing, a 42 foot schoonah was getting coast guard assistants just off the coast and and they were searching for a guy in the harbor that got thrown off another boat 
it was bad but the tumbler stood up to the job. poured it full of ginger beer and ice to top off my drink in the morning hours, just too much action to actually drink, so there it sat for 24 hours and still had ice the next morning, this morning for my 2 hour commute to work 
no pics were taken, no studies done, just a satisfied tumbler owner

you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

Funny, I was almost inspired to make a pseudo-complaint post Saturrday. It was pretty damned hot here and I had a number of errands to run, so I filled up the 30 with ice and unsweetened tea and headed out. After my second stop, tea was gone, cup was dry, except for the ice. Two more stops and a car wash before I headed home and never any melt to get another sip. Too damned efficient, I need to remember to scale back on the ice when I load it up.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Got my wide an insulated glass from HD, for a buck, that will still have ice in it the next day...

I have the same problem. Usually the ice melts down and you just keep drinking until it is empty. With the yeti, you drink all the tea fast and then the ice just sits there and doesn't hardly melt.Legume said:Funny, I was almost inspired to make a pseudo-complaint post Saturrday.

I can fill my yeti up at lunch with iced tea and it will stay cold with ice until i get home around 4 or 5. It sits in a car in Texas with 100 degree weather is the impressive part.

Looks like I won the bet actually. Bet my wife that if I type unsweetened tea in a post, some over-proud southerner would question my 'Merican-ness within 2 hours. You're early. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

I am not completely sold or maybe there is a process I have wrong?
I do not have the 30oz but the smaller yeti tumbler not sure it would make a difference.
But I fill it with ice then water from the tap (yes I drink water from the tap)
and the ice melts in a short amount of time but the water does remain cold?
But I like having ice :(

Keep it cold at all times. Fill with ice, cold water, drink, refill. Go home. Reload with ice and beverage of choice. In the morning ice is left, dump, rinse and repeat. Mine never gets warm. Always have a solid chunk of I've in the morning that I have to run water on to get it out.jad said:I am not completely sold or maybe there is a process I have wrong?

@jad it sounds to me like you might have one that lost vacuum. You can definitely try to maximize the ice retention by cooling down the water but even with room temp water from the tap I would expect you should have ice for several hours.jad said:I am not completely sold or maybe there is a process I have wrong?

I have two 30 oz and one has stopped performing well and I suspect it lost vacuum. I did a quick test and cooled down both cups with icy water, emptied, then put 4 pieces of ice in each (last night). This morning one tumbler still had ice and the other was all water. I sent an inquiry this morning about a replacement.Which came first the chicken or the egg?

the directions that came with it said not to put it in the freezer, dont know why, dont know why a cup even comes with directionsGATraveller said:

Put some alcohol in it, the ice won't freeze solid.

Oh yes it will. If there's liquor then empty just ice, it will freeze back together overnight and actually be frozen to the cup. Have to run water in it to melt the ice.

I was just thinking the same thing. There are a lot of places in this world where it stays consistently colder than my freezer.

Doing lots of travel with mine and found every day it still has ice from the prior day. By travel talking 46,000 in 15 months (yep, lots of road travel miles). Sore butt, but ice in tumbler every morning.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

my tumbler is only 2-3 months old and I do not ever remember it keeping ice?
Like I said the liquid is cold but the ice is gone:(
Should I be contacting yeti, anyone have experience with yeti customer service?

There was another thread and a couple of people have called them and received a replacement. I submitted a form today but haven't received anything back (not even a confirmation). If I don't hear something by tomorrow I will call them.jad said:my tumbler is only 2-3 months old and I do not ever remember it keeping ice?

Here is the other discussion.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I went to get some ethanol-free gas for the lawn equipment and as I pulled the 5 gallon tank out the back of my pickup, my 30 oz Yeti fell from the side of the bed and hit the concrete. I finished my drink so just lost the ice. So it's customized now with a little road rash. As far as I can tell it's still holding vacuum.______________________________________________I love lamp..
