Had an nice REI gift card from my employer burning a hole so I finally decided on a new lightweight tea setup. Couldn't be happier with the system.

Toaks titanium 750ml pot
Snow Peak 450ml titanium double wall mug
Pocket Rocket Deluxe

Was planning on a Soto WindMaster but it wasn't available in the store and I noticed the burner design on the new PR was similar. Ability to simmer is impressive and it has a push button ignition (we'll see how long that lasts). j

Nests together nicely for hikes and bikes, very excited to have a compact alternative to my moose of a Dragonfly.

I have basically the same thing only all made from Snow peak. You will love the light weight and strength of titanium.

Does the bottom of your ti pot anodize into different colors? I think this stove is hotter than most and I put a shiny blue ring in the bottom of my pot on the first try, while boiling water.

No warping thankfully, will go easier on the heat going forward.

I use TOAKS titanium pots on an MSR Pocket Rocket. I also get a little discoloration on the bottom. But its not big deal...no soot like mess, no taste. It is just chemistry or metallurgy I suspect.

Discoloration, stubborn baked on spots, warpage (it's almost exclusively used as a boiler), all just a part of using titanium. I clean my SnowPeak by torching till bright red! Then just dump out the ash.

Do like the double wall insulated mugs, they stay HOT! Just do not heat on the burner, boom!
