View attachment 840783 I like the Titanium flasks. You can put anything in them from Scotch to Sulfuric acid. You just have to remember what the last refill was.
Well ..., NOW IT DOES!!BladeScout
Seen those cheap chinese titanium flasks before, what worries me is the soldering and if it contains lead or other toxins, they are so cheap you can get them for ~18 bucks in places.
Does it concern you at all?

Soldering or brazing titanium ?? Have you ever tried to do that ? It'll never work. Welding yes though that would be laser or electron beam.

The Teledyne Titan bicycle frame was welded in a vacuum chamber. Teledyne was doing aerospace work so they had all the equipment. My Titan frames weigh 3lbs. each. The ride is a little mushy for racing but perfect for touring. Titanium is not difficult to weld outside of the shielding problem. Most Titanium welds are pretty to look at.I used to race bikes way back when Mark Wallberg used to be Marky Mark. One of the best bikes I road was a Titan. Frame and forks were all titanium. It's was about $800 and up just for the frame and forks, the reason I heard the cost was so high was they were very difficult to solder. And when it wasn't quite up to par, they would snap like breadsticks right at the weld. Feather light, like pick up a entire bike with a finger.
