Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Titanium Cups - Double or Single Wall and what size?

I'm looking at Snowpeak and other titanium cups for a Father's Day present for me.
It will be kept in my pack at all times with a small alcohol or pocket stove and mainly be used for coffee, tea and heating water for dehydrated meals in a pinch.
I know I will have to have a single-wall if I intend to use it to boil/heat water if necessary.
Is the 600ML size big enough or shoudl I go for the 700ML?
Out of the following which would you recommend and why?

Any other suggestions and other places to buy titanium on the cheap?
I have some LL Bean coupons that I can use to get the 600ML Hotlips above. It holds 20oz and most dehydrated meals need 2 cups (16oz) of boiling water. Do you think I can boil 16oz of water in a 20oz cup without making a mess.

Thanks for any advice. I've been backpacking for years but am to the age where I am trying to lighten my load so that hunting and hiking is more enjoyable.

I like the Snow Peak 20 oz Double Wall. I also have several single walls to choose from if I'm really counting grams to go as light as possible.

I really like the snow peak 600 mL cups with the hot lips on them. Got one for my wife and myself. Can even throw them on the a stove to boil water if needed.

So you're saying the 20 oz is a good size?
I was under the impression that I could not heat water with a double wall. Do you think I could boil 16 oz of water in a 20oz single wall?
Thanks Ed!

That's what I am looking to hear.
Thanks!

Anybody else have a good source to buy these?
What other titanium pots, cups, utensils do you guys use?

No heating in a double wall cup, bad idea on a few levels. Also, I prefer the 900 size for boiling 16 oz of water. 600 would work for heating it, but not for a sustained boil.

Yep, wouldn't want to create a rolling boil long with a 600 mL cup.

I just picked up a Snowpeak 700 from a member here. It's big enough to boil 16 oz./.5l. I wanted something I could use as a cup/mug and also eat from. It took a little longer to bring to a boil than a tea kettle I have but was still able to do so well within the burn time of my super cat alky stove.

Since your mainly looking for drinks and only the occasional meal I would shoot for a 600 (20oz), Evernew, snowpeak, and montbell all make one in that size.

I like the Mont-Bell 20 single wall for cooking/drinking. And liek everyone said, no cooking in a double wall.

I have a 600 Snowpeak Ti mug (single wall) and have no problems boiling 16oz (2 cups), one just turns the flame down on the Giga when it starts to boil. I carry a small piece of triple folded tinfoil for a lid. I like the 600's size - stove, fuel & 600 mug fits nice and neat as a unit in most pack's side pouches.

16oz


Sustained boil - 16oz

That 700 nearly runs over with a Knorr meal and a pack/can of chicken. If you freezer bag cook though, the 600 might be all you need, since you won't be eating out of the pot. A lot of the UL hikers do that, as long as your meals don't need more than 14oz or so of boiling water.

I run the MSR ti kettle and that is full with my special meal of Knorr alfredo noodles clams and shrimp.

Man, that sounds good! Recipe?
I do quite a bit of couscous with canned chicken and Rotel.
I put it in a ziploc bag before I head out then just add the olive oil when I add the hot water.

Because I know someone is going to ask:

That is my favorite pot. IIRC, it is lighter than the 700 'cause the lid on the 700 is steel.

I like the Snow Peak Trek 900 as it comes with a pot and a frypan, will store a bush buddy stove, and many others inside it, and is great quality imo.

And sits on my home made cylinder stove perfect




And sits on my Vargo hex and bush buddy stove real well

Just the noodles with canned shrimp and clams.

A Trek 900 is great once you throw that silly fry pan away and order a proper lid from 4 dog.

I hear ya 280. I picked up a lid for my 600 mL snowpeak from 4 dog. Handy lil bugger.

Who is 4 dog?
