Heads up: Titanium Hip Flask

[dj77]

Hi folks, I hope this is the right place to put this. There is a Kickstarter project for a Titanium Hipflask that is pretty affordable compared to what's available at present. I find even stainless steel taints alcohol so am hopeful This Titanium one will not (they are using top grade Ti).

No connection just a backer.

the purest possible material? What does that even mean? Is titanium more pure than say iron? Is steel less pure as it's an alloy? What's the purity of glass?

Some like pure marketing schpeel to me.

Quick google and there are titanium hip flasks about but the prices are eye watering. Cant imagine there would be much a weight saving if that was the aim.

PTFE - cheaper, more robust (doesn't dent) and doesn't taint the drink

I like it, and I have a birthday coming.

 

[ZEbbEDY]

prefer the traditional shape, also the fact that the lid is attached so it doesnt go missing

There's always ...glass, or anodised aluminium.

Strikes me as a solution looking for a problem

From the site:

we took the liberty to reinvent it and make it a desirable accessory instead of a functional one

Nice enough flask, but its selling point seems to be Design with a capital D rather than utility.

Can you expand a bit on the 'just a backer' bit?

I've not noticed any tainting with stainless steel flasks and I've used them for years.

I like the design and I could do with a new hip flask, but I think £30 is the mark for one of these, £60 is too steep in my opinion.

I've been using SS flasks for many years now, and as rik_uk3 posted above I've never once had a problem with tainting.............and if I did I'd get a decent half-bottle and glue some leather to it; I used one of those for a very long time, until the pack it was in got pinched............................

In comparison to the snow peak its pretty cheap lol

I like the one linked here but its just too much cash.

Kick starter is a crowd funding platform where folks with a product idea makes a presentation of what they want to produce and individuals back them and usually get better pricing or incentives for doing so

I did look at snowpeak but the price once shipping was added was prohibitive. I managed to jump in when someone changed their pledge and will get the 6oz at £55 inc postage which I think is the dogs dodahs for medical grade titanium

I have several stainless steel flasks including the Stanley classic of which I am very fond. If alcohol is left for a while it gets a metallic tang. I know one isn't meant to leave drink in them but I hoped as Titanium is supposed to be inert it will be OK to store in, only time will tell.

What sort of fool leaves drink in a flask?

 

[Shewie]

Ooh shiny

A bit spendy for me though, I'll stick with my plastic Gsi flask I think
