What problems happen after use hydro flask for a while?

- yes, there is a metal flavor. This is true for drinking beverages out of most any stainless steel vessels. The taste an odor diminishes some over time. Especially after you use it and wash it out several times. I have other flasks from different manufacturers and the metal twinge taste is pretty much the same. If you are really sensitive to metal -go with glass.
