Question 1

Does anyone know what's the difference--or whether there's a difference at all--between the Thermos Tritan bottle and the Thermos Intak bottle?

Accepted Answer

Owned both, still prefer the Intak.
1) the locking mechanism. Both are push locks to grab the tooth of the cap. The Intak pops up faster, the Tritan barely or doesnt.
2) Ring lock mechanism. Similar, but the Tritan was diminished to a small tooth that pokes out of the top thats where it the metal hang locks the cap into place. It is smaller. The Intak was a whole plastic "mouth" over the bottom and the metal ring goes around it all. more secure, that part wont break. The Tritan tooth has broken before
3) Drink counter, Tritan is top, Intak is bottom of the cap
4) Base.  Intak is an rounded oblong triangular shape and the Tritan is more rounded overall. It does stand up easier, the Intak have to make sure its placed properly or may fall
5) Mouth piece. This was the clicker for me, as well as the metal ring lock thingy. The Intak mouth piece is actually ergonomically designed for drinking, the hole is cut at an angle that makes it so much easier. The Tritan isnt cut, is round rim, and more annoying that you think, especially when coming from the comfortable intak shape.
Hope this helps

Question 2

On the old style I keep breaking the piece of plastic that holds the lid closed (not the metal locking ring). Do these have a similar part?

Accepted Answer

NopeI felt like this is a good option

Question 3

How do I purchase replacement parts?  Specifically the plastic (or silicone?) stopper in the lid.

Question 4

Can I buy the cap only?  The caps break quite easily when dropped, so I have several bottles with no caps.  I keep buying new bottles.

Accepted Answer

I know it sucks, I love the  design but the little plastic catch is its fatal flaw.  One drop and its done. Problem is we keep buying them, so they have no incentive to fix it. I'm on the look out for a good alternative :-) Let me know.
