First run. Reserved now, ships November 2026. You are charged today and your founder number is issued with your order confirmation.
1. Cancel anytime before it ships: full refund.

3. You won't ask for your money back. If you do: sixty days from the day it arrives, full refund, and the flask stays with you. First run only. One per household.

How do refills work?
Refills ship in low-profile pouches (400ml) every three months to save on shipping overhead. One-time: $45. Subscription: $35 per refill.
You are billed quarterly. Skip, change the frequency, or cancel with a single toggle in your portal. No support emails required.
Twelve consecutive months make you a MEMBER: etched card, lifetime terms.
Why the three-month wait?
Ship in November. We do not maintain massive, cheap inventories. Every piece in the initial drop is made to order from the original metal batch. That takes time (40-50 business days). If we ship late, full refund. And you keep the flask.
Can I use other body washes inside the PV-001 flask?
Yes. The flask is a permanent vessel. Any liquid wash can be filled into it. Our formulas are balanced to match the flow-rate of the mechanical aperture, but the container belongs to you.
What is a founder number?
Your order number is recorded permanently. Nobody else will ever hold it. The first run is 100 Blacklist seats, FOUNDERS EDITION laser-engraved into the base; Blacklist orders add a steel card etched FOUNDING MEMBER.
Why is the flask titanium?
Because the alternative is plastic.

Who we are
We spent a decade building worlds for video games and music videos. The work reached tens of millions of people. The names never did. Pure Venom aims that craft at the physical world: take the everyday things nobody ever chose, and rebuild them until they'd be missed.
The enemy is anything designed to be thrown away. PV-001 is the first piece. It will not be the last.

Can I use other body washes inside the PV-001 flask?
Yes. The flask is a permanent vessel. Any liquid wash can be filled into it. Our formulas are balanced to match the flow rate of the solid flask, but the container belongs to you.
Why is the flask titanium?
Because the alternative is plastic, and the flask is meant to be kept and displayed. Built from solid grade-1 titanium, weighs 177 grams empty. Corrosion resistant.
How do refills work?
A box of three 400ml pouches arrives each quarter. $35 a refill on the plan, $45 one-time. Skip, pause, or cancel in one click.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. Shop Pay Installments or Klarna, four payments, on every tier. Same total price.
What does it smell like?
Bergamot and green up top. Rose, violet, and muguet in the heart. White floral, vanilla, amber, and musk underneath.
Will the black wash stain skin or towels?
No. It rinses clean.
What if it's not for me?
Send it back within 60 days for a full refund. Email us at support@getpurevenom.com. No questions, no restocking fee.
But you won't send it back.
What does the Lifetime Flask Warranty cover?
The body, the threads, the seal. If the flask cracks, fails to close, or fails to seal, we replace it.
The finish wears with use over the years. That's not a failure. That's just what it is. Scratches and patina aren't covered.
Blacklist tier only.
Does it cover the printed skull? For five years. Print sits on the surface of the finish. If it lifts, flakes, peels or fades in normal use inside five years, we replace the flask.
I dropped it and dented it. Is that covered? If it still holds and seals, the dent is wear and the warranty leaves it alone. If it no longer seals, it is covered whatever you are on. And if your refills are running, we replace it either way.
What happens if I stop the refills? You keep the flask warranty for life. If you took four paid boxes before you stopped, you keep the wider cover too, permanently. Nothing you earned here gets taken back.
Do I have to register the warranty? No. There is nothing to activate and no receipt to keep. Send a photo and we have the rest.
Something happened that you do not cover. Now what? Two ways forward. Start the refills and the flask is covered for anything, including that, with a new flask in your first box. Or swap it: $60, and the old one comes back to us.
Visit the warranty page for more information.
What makes the first run different?
FOUNDERS EDITION engraved on the base, founders' pricing kept for life, a permanent founder number, and the Blacklist: 100 seats that close forever when they sell out.
When am I charged?
Today. Your order is paid in full at checkout, or in four with Shop Pay, and your founder number is issued with your order confirmation. The flask ships this November. Cancel anytime before it ships for a full refund.
Is this a subscription?
No. Starter, Collector, and Blacklist are one-time purchases. Refills are optional: $45 one at a time, or $35 each on the quarterly plan, starting November. You can skip, pause, or cancel in one click. Nothing renews unless you turn it on.
How long does 400ml last?
4-6 weeks of daily showers.
Everything else comes and goes.
This one stays.
Founders' pricing holds until the first run is allocated. When it is, prices only go one way and never come back down.
Capped at 1,000 flasks. 100 Blacklist seats. Reserve yours.
