Titanium water bottles
I'm looking for a 750 ml titanium water bottle. It should fit in a standard cage. Screw on cap, well sealed.*
The Internet is awash with stuff from the East but most seem to have added a rubber (anti-slip) ring round the base. I don't want this as I also want the ability to heat it up on a stove. I'm wondering if anyone has (used) something like this and knows whether this ring can be removed and is this likely to be an issue.
* Oh, and cheaper than a £80 Vargo.

Re: Titanium water bottles
I've got a far eastern one Colin. Doesn't have the silicone ring on you mention and is fine for putting directly on a stove. I think it came from Amazon. I'll have a look what make it is.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Titanium water bottles
My newer titanium stuff is from Tomshoo but I notice that the newer versions have the non-slip ring. I would have thought it's just glued on though so should be easy enough to take off.

If not it would burn off pretty quickly

Re: Titanium water bottles
If it was simply stuck on the bottom, I'd likely just remove it but it looks like it might be fitted into some sort of groove. I guess it will still come out/off but I wondered about that groove causing some weakness when being heated.

Re: Titanium water bottles
It shouldn't as the groove will be pressed in not machined, so the material thickness will likely be constant throughout the base.I wondered about that groove causing some weakness when being heated.

Re: Titanium water bottles
A steel Kleen kanteen does the job fine. Wide neck version is especially good for use as a heating vessel. A standard pot grab works well on the rim.
If you are going through hell, keep going.

This won’t work. As he’s aged Colin has developed an almost pathological aversion to any metal that isn’t Titanium.lune ranger wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:53 pm A steel Kleen kanteen does the job fine.

I’m just waiting for him to try and source replacement panels for his van.
