Why do you guys think this is a good idea?
Titanium (99% pure) thermal conductivity = 12.65 BTU / (hr-ft-F)
304 SST thermal conductivity = 8.09

Seems to me SST would be better performance and price.

The manufacturer offers stainless as well for most parts, however it is twice as heat conductive vs their titanium alloy 6AL-4V (6% aluminum, 4% vanadium).

I say titanium for short but it is not really, it is a heat resistant alloy.

Ah, that makes more sense...

That one comes out to 3.87
