You can't, however it's strength would allow cold rolled sheets into the shape then welded, paper thin walls like my bike (litespeed) welded bottom cap and nice quick screws on top, I can see it in my mind, its beautiful, I don't have the skills to lay down a righteous tig though.
these guys and others do
Weld nuts in the body just below top cap and drill holes in said top cap, insert knurled head fasteners and wallah!
You could make it teeny tiny with the battery right next to the bottle
Sorry off topic, titanium gets me excited,

Absolutely!! PM me anytimeAre you REALLY up for a titanium version? If so, let's talk.
Hence the reason that no one wants to do Titanium. It's very hard and the machining is very time consuming. Sooooo very expensive to produce a mod. However there are some alternatives to 6061 that provide considerably more strength and conductivity such as 7075 and 7068. The latter being a little more difficult to obtain. But it is obtainable
Really old metallurgical engineer here, just stirring the pot and living the dream.
A titanium mod MIGHT be out of reach with your current kit. But maybe not. Machining Ti is really all about tools and feeds and speeds and LOTS of coolant. I've read threads where others (no names - I'm a gentleman) insisted on treating it like it was 6061 and trying to plow through it like they had somewhere to be an hour ago. Very frustrating, I'm sure, but a fun read.
A good reference: https://www.kennametal.com/content/...tanium_material_machining_guide_Aerospace.pdf
If not titanium, how about a nice pattern welded steel (Damascus) squonker?
Nothing turn up yet [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji17][emoji17]
Have to wait till next Monday

What the......????
AUS Post is killin' us!!!
This is what I see when I pull up the tracking on the usps site...
I wonder what's takin' 'em so long???

Not to burst everyone's bubble, but the electrical conductivity of ALL of the precipitation hardenable structural aluminum alloys (virtually all of them) is SO dependent on the specific heat treatment used, that saying any specific alloy is the best is really a crapshoot. Sorry.
Titanium is an especially POOR electrical conductor. It's just cool.
And I really want a titanium squonker. Even if it needs a copper conductor inside it to compensate for its deficiencies.A Custom Classic Damascus squonker, I'd likely sell a kidney for that
Sounds heavy... Really frickin' cool,.... but heavy....

it'll get there. My first tmod, I made a fasttech order the same day... the ft order got here first. Auspost seem to hold up the most interesting things longest

Maybe they want to try squonking[emoji25]
Think I saw someone talking about a version of Demascus steel that didn't have the corrosion issues normally associated with it. It's rather pricey from what I understand.
Serious post:
Mechanical bottom feed mods are currently, to my eye, the most cutting edge pieces of gear in the vaping world. I couldn't care less about titanium temperature control 200 watt "battery cases" - they're just tools. A handful of artists have accepted the challenge of taking vaping to the next level. I hope to own one or more pieces by every one of these gifted designer/fabricators.

Stainless/stainless Damascus is a real thing. The pattern is subtle, but just as beautiful as pattern welded carbon steel. Would make a beautiful mod, it would.
For the record, my Damascus Infected Zombie mod doesn't have a spot of corrosion after months of use.
