Recommendations for a decent flask that actually keeps the contents warm for a days fishing.
Tried the 'heavy duty' Stanley green one but the screw top keeps popping off. TIA

Just bought one from ‘Kleen Kanteen'
They do a range from small cups up to bigger flasks over 1L - I bought the original insulated one. £27. About 590ml I think. They're shatter proof, stainless. Claim to keep hot things hot for 20hrs and cold things cold for 50hrs. I boiled the kettle and filled mine and although I didn't actually have a probe, I did a bit of a test. The water I guess went in at just under 100degrees. After 6hrs I put my finger in it and it was still hot enough to not want to keep my finger in it
After 12hrs it was still steaming and just about warm enough to pour into a cup and make a just about drinkable cup of tea. I dare say if you made tea and put that in the flask it would be more than acceptable 12hrs later.

I would take it back it must be faulty ???
Stanley after sales are legendary
they are the best money can buy
but if you want a cheaper one with ALMOST the same performance ?
I can recommend the one I use one for day fishing ASDA are selling the Thermos Thermocafé Stainless Steel Hammertone Flask 1 litre for £13
and find it still very very hot at the end of the day

Probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but to get top performance from steel flasks make sure you fill it with boiling water to prove it, pour it away and fill immediately. Can't help with top problem except to say don't overfill maybe.

very surprised you're having problems with a stanley flask mate, i've got the big green one and it's excellent

My mate has a Stanley green one and swayed me from it because of it not working great so I opted for a thermos king 1.2l...currently £20.99 on Amazon

Gotta agree with you on charging the flask first
However I find it all tastes tinny if you leave a drink to stew it doesn't matter if it's coffee or tea
my mrs likes me to leave her a cup full after a days fishing so she can have a cup out of it but she is a weirdo..

Agree with you about the taste issue. Its why I don't use a flask anymore. With lightweight gear, a litre of water, I really enjoy brewing up when walking, fishing, on a picnic etc. Perfect cuppa, 5 minutes, no sweat.

I use a Stanley 1.32.litre for work,its tough,and never let me down,despite my best attempts to run it over in my bag on my ferguson,if it can take that,its tough..
Every week,I bi carb it,stops build up inside,and longterm improves insulation..
I much prefer,though taking a Trangia,in 27 or 28 mini,food and drink seems to taste nicer cooked fresh outdoors...a long term purchase is the Bush craft stove,grill and mini fire pit..made by Uco,its non marking as well,no trace..I also do a lot of controlled jenga fires,and grills...I do this fishing,work or bushcrafting...its another element to fishing...its fun..

The underfilling might be the issue as that creates a vacuum which wld creat a build up of steam and pressure resulting in the screw cap pipping off.
