Glass Water Carafe "JUG VODAN" hand-blown crystal glass • water structuring • made in EU • 1 l
FLASKA glass water carafe is not a standard glass jug. It is made from hand-crafted crystal glass produced in Slovenia, with the key difference lying in the material itself. FLASKA uses patented “programmed” TPS glass, which the manufacturer states can “revitalise” water within a few minutes. In practice, users most often describe the result as a more balanced, smoother taste, even when using tap water.
This is the reason for the higher price: you are paying not just for design, but for a specific glass technology and its declared effect on water. The lid is loose-fitting (not airtight) and serves as a hygienic cover when pouring. The carafe is not dishwasher-safe; hand washing is recommended.
Glass Water Carafe "JUG VODAN" – Flaška
The Flaska VODAN water jug (carafe) with a 1 l capacity is designed for everyday serving of tap water and bottled water at home or in the office. It’s not mass-produced glassware – it’s made from crystal glass and each piece is hand-blown.
That combination of crystal glass and handcrafted production is why the price sits in a different category than an ordinary carafe. You’re paying for craftsmanship, time, and careful finishing, not a disposable item.
Flaska states that VODAN is made from programmed glass (the Glass & Vibe technology), designed to interact with water differently than a standard vessel. According to the manufacturer, once poured, the water undergoes “revitalisation” and its “structure” is said to change measurably within 5 minutes, creating a sensation closer to spring water.
The jug is intended primarily for the table – the lid is not leak-proof, so it’s not meant for carrying in a bag. It can be placed in the fridge, and to preserve the look and properties over time, the manufacturer recommends hand washing with a soft sponge and a gentle detergent.

How do Flaška bottles differ from "ordinary" bottles?
Compared to plastic bottles, Flaška offers the advantages of glass: it is chemically stable, and therefore does not retain odours or tastes and does not absorb dyes from drinks.
Glass is also naturally BPA-free and free from plasticisers, while plastic can, with long-term use, absorb scents or release components into the drink.
In terms of hygiene, glass is easy to clean and withstands hot water and thorough mechanical cleaning with a brush, without forming a film on the surface. In contrast, plastic is more easily scratched, and micro-cracks can worsen washability and cleanliness.
In its life cycle, a glass bottle, when handled carefully, has a long lifespan and is fully recyclable, reducing the need for single-use packaging. Although plastic is lighter, it usually has a shorter useful life and struggles to maintain taste neutrality of the drink over extended use.
In practice, glass is heavier and more fragile, but Flaška compensates with accessories. Available are cork or neoprene sleeves and bottles in various sizes, so you can easily choose a version for work, sports, travel, and home serving.
Who are Flaška bottles for and where will you use them?
Flaška bottles are suitable for your daily hydration routine at home, in the office, at school and during meetings. They work well for sports and leisure time – for fitness, yoga, hiking or cycling. Flaška also offers children’s bottles that help support a regular drinking routine at school and after-school activities.
They are practical for travel and commuting – in a backpack or bag, on a day trip or in the city. You can easily refill the bottle at public fountains or at home before you leave, so you always have water within reach.
Flaška bottles come in different designs with an integrated sleeve, so you can choose a style that matches your taste and preferences. The range includes versions with cork, neoprene or silicone sleeves, in various colours and motifs for children and adults. The sleeve improves the grip and completes the look of the bottle; neoprene sleeves are also removable and washable, while cork and silicone sleeves can be easily taken off and wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Why choose Flaška
Flaška bottles are reusable glass bottles that keep water neutral in taste and free from unwanted odours. Glass is inert and naturally BPA free, so it does not react with the drink or release substances into it.
An important part of the brand identity is the concept the manufacturer calls “programmed glass” – their own way of focusing on the quality and perception of water.
Flaška bottles fit easily into your everyday hydration at work, at home, while studying or on the go. Thanks to the comfortable neck and reliable closure, they are easy to clean and comfortable to drink from.
The brand offers several bottle sizes and different design variants with cork, neoprene or silicone sleeves. The sleeves improve the grip and complete the look of the bottle; neoprene sleeves are removable and washable, while cork and silicone sleeves can be easily taken off and wiped clean.
For long service life, hand washing with a mild detergent and regular airing of the cap is recommended. Re-using a glass bottle helps reduce the number of single-use plastic containers.
Clean taste
A glass bottle is inert – it does not react with the drink, does not absorb odours or flavours and does not stain from beverages.
BPA and plasticiser free
Glass is naturally BPA free and plasticiser free, so you avoid the typical migration of substances from plastic into your drink.
Sustainable choice
A reusable bottle with a long lifespan and fully recyclable material helps reduce single-use packaging.
Comfort with accessories
Many bottles come with a cork sleeve for a secure grip, while other versions use a neoprene sleeve and additional practical details.
Easy care
Glass is easy to wash and tolerates hot water well; with hand washing, there is no lingering aroma or colour left inside the bottle.
Versatile use
For the office, school, sports, travel or serving at home – your water is always close at hand and tastes consistent.

FAQ
What is Glass & Vibe technology and how to use the bottle correctly?
The manufacturer states that a vibrational program is imprinted into the glass, which is supposed to "tune" the water in about 5 minutes. Procedure: fill the bottle, wait, gently swirl the water, and drink. Consider this principle as a brand claim, not a health effect.
Is Flaska BPA-free and what materials is it made of?
Yes. Glass is naturally BPA-free and free from plasticizers and is inert (does not react with the drink). The accessories mainly consist of cork and neoprene sleeves for protection and comfortable carrying.
Can I wash Flaska in the dishwasher?
Not recommended. Maintenance is manual – use a soft brush and mild detergent. This way, the bottle and sleeve will maintain longer life.
What about hot water – can I pour hot drinks into the bottle?
Hot drinks may reduce the declared "structuring" effect. Recommendation: prepare the hot drink separately and let it cool down, or use special cups/glasses designed for hot drinks (information on "water tuning" is a manufacturer's claim).
How durable is the bottle and what to avoid?
Glass is robust, but remains a fragile material. We recommend a protective sleeve, avoiding drops and impacts, not using in a microwave oven, and avoiding extreme thermal shocks.
What sizes and accessories are available?
The brand offers several bottle sizes and a wide range of accessories. Available are interchangeable sleeves (cork, neoprene), spare caps, and other accessories for everyday use.

Zakladatel slovinské značky Flaska, Maks Vrečko, je skutečný inovátor. Na nápad, který za Flaskou stojí, přišel při pěstování jahod. Pomáhal totiž manželce na jejich rodinné farmě. Protože ho typické zemědělství nezajímalo a klasické zemědělské technologie moc neznal, začal se zajímat o různé netradiční přístupy. V roce 2003 se díky tomu seznámil s procesem restrukturalizace vody. Rozhodl se provést vlastní pokus - polovinu pole zaléval restrukturalizovanou vodou a druhou polovinu normální vodou.
Nějakou dobu nebyly patrné žádné výrazné rozdíly, ale když nastal čas sklizně, rychle se ukázalo, že voda hrála důležitou roli. Jahody zalévané restrukturalizovanou vodou byly znatelně pevnější. Trvanlivost plodů se prodloužila a úroda na části pole, která byla zalévaná restrukturalizovanou vodou, byla o 18,1 % vydatnější. Na konci sezóny byly rostliny v této části výsadby vitálnější a méně napadené chorobami.
V následujících letech pak Maks v experimentech s restrukturalizovanou vodou pokračoval. Ze skeptika se stal nadšencem této technologie, která je známá již téměř 90 let, od objevů Viktora Schaubergera, průkopníka strukturování vody. Maks říká, že když nad tím zpětně přemýšlí, mělo to být naprosto logické, že zlepšení struktury vody povede i ke zlepšení jahod, vzhledem k tomu, že 89 % plodu jahod je tvořeno vodou. V té době ho to prý ale vůbec nenapadlo.
K údivu mnohých Maks v roce 2009 přestal pěstovat jahody. Měly vynikající kvalitu, odbyt byl skvělý a všichni byli spokojeni. Ale život mu říkal, že se musí poohlédnout po nových výzvách. Začal nabízet technologii strukturování vody v zemědělství. Přes vynikající výsledky testů (při pěstování ovoce, zeleniny, výrobě mléka, chovu drůbeže atd.) nebyl trh ještě připraven přijmout "neviditelnou" technologii, přestože její výsledky byly zcela zřejmé.
Po náročném roce a půl dostal nápad implementovat technologii strukturování vody do lahve pro každodenní použití. V listopadu 2009 byla spuštěna testovací série a po kladném ohlasu byla zahájena skutečná výroba. A tak se zrodila - Flaska! Na slovinský trh vstoupila 10. března 2010.
Věci se začaly hýbat kupředu rychlostí blesku - tým Flasky se rozrůstal, a brzy uváděli na trh nové modely a velikosti lahví a expandovali na nové světové trhy. Vypadá to jako pohádka, ale v reálném životě Flasku také čekaly těžké časy, zejména v letech 2012 až 2014. Toto období překonali jen díky společné práci a spoustě pozitivní energie všech zaměstnanců a partnerů. V následujících letech pak vyvinuli další naprogramované výrobky - džbán Vodan, Doggy Flasku pro psy a sklenici na pití Sirius.
Flaska nadále zdokonaluje proces restrukturalizace vody TPS. Jejich filozofie restrukturalizace vody se liší od většiny ostatních, které tuto technologii nabízejí. Pomáhají vodě vrátit se k její pramenité struktuře. Společnost Flaska zastává názor, že všichni obyvatelé naší planety by měli pít vodu co nejlepší kvality. Výrobou Flasky tak nejen zvyšují obecné povědomí o pití kvalitní vody, ale přispívají ke snižování vytváření plastového odpadu jednorázovými plastovými lahvemi.
Flaska je důkazem toho, že máme moc měnit svět prakticky každým douškem vody, kapku po kapce.
