Titanium use for the heating coils in ecigs:

ROTFLMAO!
Class D fire extinguisher? He really said you’d need to have a class D fire extinguisher to put out your e-cig heating coil fire???? Really? Hilarious
We machine Titanium in our office for dental use, it’s a common medical metal, and we’re not required to have Class D fire extinguishers. You only need that if you have a major construct, say a fighter jet, made of Titanium that might catch fire! God save us from people like this video blogger with a little knowledge.
Your heating coil in your e-cig, if it were to ignite, would quickly flash and be gone, and all Titanium would be converted almost instantly to Titanium Oxide. . . there is so little there’s the danger is minuscule. It would self extinguish. It’s contained within a brass tube, that’s why you cant see it. E-juice base is mostly non-flammable. . . But you might get some alcohol residue and flavorings to ignite.
However, Titanium’s flash point (ignition temperature in air) is 610º C or 1130º F, and it’s highly unlikely any electronically regulated e-cig can reach that temperature. Perhaps if you shorted the battery out across the coil. . .
Almost all other heating elements are worse with lower flash points. . .
Titanium is just too springy for me to get a wrap. I tried about a half dozen times, and gave up on it. Stainless clapton wire is so easy even compared to kanthal and nickle.
