[AquaticLife] Who Was That Masked Man? Thanks Dr. Tim!
Mine can with a insulated bag and a gel pack, but it was pretty cool and it was right next to the bottle, I do not think it was suppose to be a heat producer, I figured it was to give it a bit more thermal mass so it would stay cool but not freeze… Could be wrong though. If it was suppose to be warm, then it definitely failed or quit by the time it got to my place.
