I have heard it was poisonous but it did not appear to be flammable. No matter how much I dry burned that coil it never caught fire, it just built up more of the white flaky stuff. This was a fresh coil that had never been wicked or wet.

That was an ingenious and simple way to determine the wire type! 
(As long as you don't actually vape the coils, of course.)
The thing about titanium is you can't dry burn it w/o getting the dioxide coating. I use Ti wire in some of my devices but I just replace the coil when it gets too gunky. There is still some debate about whether the titanium dioxide actually comes off the coil and into the vapor, but I don't want to chance it. (I always remember Dr. Farsalinos' comments on diacetyl and "avoidable risk".)
