Hollow charcoal sticks, some broken, others too big to fit in the water bottles

I am disappointed, it is not sticks but a stone not easy to place in a carafe and some small pieces. At my first order I was very satisfied.

I was surprised to hear that my order had to be completed. I wrote to the customer service who answered me, except that in the meantime my order was completed by itself. For the rest no problem

The water tastes like tap water and yet I took the grey and pink beads. Maybe I should take activated carbon in addition to the pearls. For the moment I don't drink the water directly but I use it to make herbal teas or to cook.

I hadn't seen the size of the coals. For the price I thought I was getting a deal. In fact I have 6 that are the size of 3. In the end it's not worth it. I don't recommend it.

The charcoal sticks I ordered float in the carafe even after 1 night of soaking and 2 water changes. I had to boil them for 10', to try to change their density, and they broke. I miss the Japanese binchotan; not happy with these purifying activated carbons.

Not at all convinced of the effectiveness

I often use activated charcoals to put in my gourd but I am very disappointed because what I received would be more like half charcoals, there is even one that is around 5cm which is much too small for me next time I will go see elsewhere

The item arrived 3 days late despite a bonus order. One of the oriculis was damaged at the level of the colored pearls. As for the quality, we have to give it time. However I find it expensive for small pieces of bamboo

This product is sold as an alternative to toothbrushes. But in principle, this is not the case: once the end of a stick is free of its bark, chew the end a little to make it more flexible. Then pass the end over your teeth, from top to bottom. But be careful, given the shape, it is only possible to pass over the front of the teeth. Impossible to clean the back of your teeth and very difficult to clean the underneath.on the other hand, these very good for the dental plaque put attention to you gums, it is rather hard... You have 5 sticks and another in the support. I put 3 stars because of the difficulty filtration and the fact that declare them as a substitute of toothbrush is not true

Lots of black clusters

Average product

Compared to Brita cartridges, there is a scale deposit that forms

I AM SURPRISED TO RECEIVE ONLY 4 BINCHOTAN INSTEAD OF 5 AS INDICATED WHEN ORDERING

Not very pleasant...

These sticks are also worth recycling after their first use. And, what's more, a recycling that stays for you instead of going I don't know where since you can have it at leisure as a deodorizer or fertilizer or dehumidifier. Fashion effect? Still, the price is skyrocketing for what is after all only charcoal.

Practical to remove the taste of water but must be maintained by boiling it and then the carbon breaks easily, which leaves a black deposit at the bottom of the bottle

The product arrived on time, I don't have much experience in using it, but I'm still skeptical about the effectiveness of the product

Good product but fragile

Tested on very hard water, I was not convinced by the result, maybe because I did not let the water stand for 10 minutes before putting the kettle on? The test on cold water was not conclusive either: the water in my town has no taste.it's a pity: I like the idea, and the fact that these pearls are marketed by an ESAT (disabled people who choose to work rather than passively wait for social aid) makes me really want to encourage them.

I found it too long and not rigid enough

Bought it, I almost never use it, spoils the taste buds

The charcoals worked very well at first, but soon they were no longer effective in the short term. You have to let them soak for a long time to remove the chlorine taste. Not effective enough in my opinion.

Nice product but a little short which does not allow a good grip to go scratch at the bottom of the mouth.

Very good gives a good taste to the tap waterPity that it is fragileThe slightest knock on the bottle can cause breakage of the carbon

I am very disappointed because it leaves deposits at the bottom of my glass bottle and be careful because they are very fragile, don't drop them on a hard surface or they will break.I have an activated carbon that a friend gave me that is "round" or "full" I don't know how to describe it and it doesn't leave any deposit. I boiled both the same way, otherwise the taste of my water disappears so it's cool.

The packaging of the box was perfect. But the protection of each coal, was very limited, just wrapped in a thin paper.out of the 3, there is one that arrived broken. They look very very fragile. I have a doubt if it will last in time.

Very good for the planet but not at all comfortable to do nor in terms of longevity

It softens the taste of the water and it is unequivocal. Only I haven't really tested its filtration power to be totally sure so I can't put 5 on 5.

Very good product but it would be more interesting to have a material a little more flexible to go in the ear because it is not very pleasant.

Although it says that the stick sizes can vary, there were 4 very small sticks out of the 6, including 2 tiny ones. Instead of one stick per liter of water, you have to use 3! The efficiency of water purification is not obvious either, the water keeps an aftertaste even after 24 hours at rest.

Very good product

It seems to be effective but you need time... and a little disturbing sensation (scratching in the ear is a place you never scratch)

I have been using these sticks for 2 years and I find that the quality is decreasing. The sticks break at the first use and it is not practical to go and get the pieces at the bottom of the jar....

I thought I could reduce the chlorine taste but unfortunately it is too strong. I am in one of the regions of France where it is the strongest... too bad because the concept is good.

I tested these ceramic pearls which are supposed to improve the quality of water and reduce limescale.I followed the instructions before using them, that is to say, boil the pearls in boiling water for 10 minutes and then dry them.I then divided them into two packages, one that I put in my kettle and the other in the water tank of my coffee pod maker.After a few weeks, it seems to me that the water of my kettle is of better quality but there is still some scale at the bottom of the tank, despite the pearls.As far as the coffee maker is concerned, I didn't have until now the red indicator light indicating that it is necessary to descale the coffee maker.To see in the time if these pearls are really effective, that is to say when my coffee maker will ask to be descaled.

At the time I had had them much cheaper than now I would not take them back due to the current price I had paid only 12e they do the job but they are far too fragile after a while it ends in small pieces

Fast delivery and great filtering idea

I didn't like it at all.it's very difficult to reach all the areas of the mouth and it wears out quickly.moreover we end up with pieces that go around the tongue.it's without toothpaste. I can't get used to it. It reminds me too much of those of animals.

I found the good taste of siwak that I used to buy in Algeria a long time ago.length and shape of the sticks conform.small downside as to the thickness against.unpacking the product I was surprised to see the sticks wet, 2 to 3 days later when their diameter was divided by two by drying I understood why they had been moistened.I find the process very limited for siwaks to 2 € per unit.
