It has a few minor dents in the bottom that I will only see if I look for them.
Sheesh! How the heck does someone dent a titanium mod? Minor scratches, I can understand, but dents? :confused:

OK, that looks like a drop onto a rough concrete or gravel surface to me.

BTW, those are not real dents. This is an actual dent:

But of course copper is pretty dang soft. :)

Heck I've been saying it to myself for quite some time :oops:

But...I understand that the CC is one of these mods that you can't have just one of...it comes in collections..I hear at least in triplets :D

I was debating talking a ball-peen hammer to it and going for a hammered finish after that happened. But it really doesn't show much unless it catch the light on it like I did there.

Same mod, more recently, after a good cleaning:

I'd keep it as is really. Doesn't look that bad to be honest...and with the cleaning job it doesn't show.

Hey guys and gals..just to say that I recently became a proud owner of a Ti CC (V1 squonk hole, new 510, silver -ve contact) which I got from the classies on one of the FB groups. It should take o/a 2-3 weeks to land in Cairo..but I am too excited to wait, that I had to talk to somebody :thumbs:

Hey Tamer,
I'm actually shocked that you don't already have a CC. Ti is a good place to start. Wish I had the cash for one. The wife would kill me if I sold one of the kids to get one. My used SS will have to do for now. Oh, how I dream of having a Ti though.

Why doesn't anyone put out an 18650 with silver plated contacts??? :?:
'Cause most "normal" applications for these cells have conductors spot-welded to the contacts?

And no "normal" application for them uses the battery's contact as half of a mechanical make/break circuit connection?

What we do is Abby.

Abby Normal.

How about a thin silver "poker chip" for on top of the battery, to get the make-break action away from the battery's terminal? It would need an insulating ring around the silver, of course, to keep it centered on the positive terminal.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Thing is, I don't have much will. Given my tootle-puffing ways (0.5 - 0.75Ω), hitting all the contacts (including the battery's) with a bit of Simichrome on a Q-tip every once in a while keeps 'em working just fine.
