Titanium cup?

tattoosteve99 · **on:** January 18, 2012, 02:02:10 PM

Anyone have any experience with these? Im wanting to get one but have no clue. I like the idea of having a cup with me and usable to boil water in an emergency if need be. Can use use the double walled to boil water? Do they make a collapsible version. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Haven't seen a collapsible one but there are a few around which fit a litre nalgene in them very nicely. I have a steel one which works for that purpose.

Check EMS or Campmor or REI, If i am not mistaken i saw one at one of those stores. I have guide shops near me, i will check it out and let you know.

... double walled cups are no good for cooking mate, as they're meant to be insulators

I've no experience with these or any Ti cookware, sorry

I have one of these.

It is lightweight, very thin, has folding handles, and a sort of cool factor. This is a single wall version and it can be used to boil water if you are travelling light, though I prefer to use a mini kettle. Double wall versions cannot be used for boiling.

The negative is drinks go cold quite quickly. I much prefer using a double walled stainless steel mug.

SnowPeak makes awesome Ti cups...both single walled and double walled. REI carries them. I think though they recommend single wall for boiling. Not the double walled versions.

Well what I really want is a small cup and be used in a fire, fuel, or alcohol burner. I have made several burners no problem. Finding a good cup at a decent price is the problem.

Personally Steve I'd stick to a single walled stainless one like the first one in that link I posted above. Ti is a bad conductor of heat anyway, so stainless would be better in that respect, and I think it would be far more durable for the few extra grams in weight

That's a good point. I'll have to research that a little bit. My friend is still looking for a convex end stainless water bottle but I have no idea on that. He goes camping more times a year than I mod knives lol.

Nah, I don't play sports. Reminds me of the old Bob Nelson football routine

Steve, has he looked at Klean Kanteen? You can boil water in their non-insulated bottles; likewise, Nalgene/Guyot stainless steel bottles might also be possibilities.

FWIW I've had a GI issue stainless for years. It's not light like Ti but I never worry about breaking or overheating it.

But you can't boil water in it. At least not without leaching out chemicals.

Can you elaborate on this? I don't know much about Ti products and havent heard about needing to prevent overheating / breaking.

Steve, I've seen stainless steel collapsible cups but not titanium.
