David, help me mull please.

How much of the ELA do you anticipate being titanium? The whole thing up to and including the accent rings and adjustable post, or will select bits and pieces be SS?

How do you think the threading and adjustability will fare with the grippier metal? Some reports indicate titanium more likely to seize up. I've never had a problem with my Ti 18350 and 18500, but the ELA has a lot of moving parts! ;)

These are some good points that need to be addressed.... As far as Ti parts what about the extension tube that comes with the Ti.... What will that be made of ??

First, let me pitch the product: this will be the largest undertaking of any mod ever made of Titanium and the most exceptional Titanium mod ever made. No less then 9 pieces will be made of Titanium. It will also feature our "flawless" hand polished finish.

It will be all Titanium except the Palladium plated brasss contacts, post holder, spring and brass compression band.

The Body, Extension Tube, Top and Bottom caps, Accent rings and Button and button slide will be all Titanium.

Super T has made Titanium mods before with little to no problem with sticky or seized threads like other brands have had problems with. Our machinist has 20 years experience and knows how to sucessfully machine Titanium without issue, that combined with state of the art CNC equipment and our own hand finishing and we are confident you will find this the most beautifully crafted mod in existance.

Don't get Shockwaved! A mod like this has only ever come around once. Think of this, a mod made of pure silver would cost us half the price to make compared to making it of Titanium(silver is only 25 an ounce and machines like butter at 5 times the speed of Titanium!) and the cost on this is only 499.99!

I have GP Paps X1.5 in both stainless and titanium - and the weight difference is substantial. When I use the Ti version, it feels just like the stainless one - if you remove the battery. Considering that the ELA is a beefier mod I would think that the difference will be huge!

I can't wait to see what the weight difference is on these!

How was that sales pitch? Lol...do i get the job?
You know I wanted one.....
Now I guess if one wanted to use a Precise ELA V2 Flat Bottom Switch Assembly that would have to be stainless? And also a Precise ELA 18650/Kick Extension Tube that would also be stainless? Correct?

Mmmkay. I know exactly what I need to sell. :)
Me too.. ;)

I plan to eventually do a Titanium flat button too to match, but not on the initial offering. Your SS should fit, same with the 18650 Kick extension tube you currently have.

Did I mention these are only 499.99 on the Titanium Version? Most manufacturers would have to charge $1000+ on a mod as complex and as many parts as the ELA has to machine of Titanium. You are getting these at cost so don't miss out. We are only doing it once as far as I'm concerned and there are only approximately 40 left and you know they'll go for $1000-2000+ down the road used so don't miss out!

LOL I couldn't, wouldn't speculate what they'll fetch on the aftermarket, vaping is a fickle mistress! I know I want one to keep because I like 'em.
