Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Looked at both the Sol and the Sol Ti. First off, the new Sol is a great improvement, I have th original Jetboil PCS and love it. By upgrading it drops the total weight by almost 1/3, mostly in the new stove design. I purchased a Sol and a Sol Ti to compare them side by side to see which I prefered. Really, the only difference between the two is the cup. They include the same stove, stabilizer and pot support. The lid and measuring cups are the same weight. The only difference between the 2 I recieved was the weight of the cup itself (metal only is 0.9oz less w/Ti) and the weight of the neoprene cozy (0.9ozw/sol vs 0.5ozw/Ti). Really, if the regular Sol got rid of the heat indicator on the side like the Ti version does it would be perfect For the icreased $$ you can save weight in other areas of your pack. Returning the Ti version and keeping the Aluminum Sol.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Fine product, except the neoprene sleeve design. It is poorly designed compared to the other Jetboil stoves. The neoprene is so thin it stretches and slides when you pick up the cup, even when new and empty. The handle top stitching is under 1/8" from the top edge. When I opened mine for the first time, I could see it was already starting to tear (from manufacture?). Burns are bad news in the wilderness. Skip the heat indicator, but please give us the less flimsy neoprene with the reinforcement under the handle. The one on the Sol aluminum companion cup is great. Please "downgrade" the too-light neoprene and handle to make this a truly premium stove.
A reasonably-priced "down-graded" sleeve should be made available until Jetboil fixes their design.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
I saw this stove as an investment, I'd rather buy the best I could find the first time around than do so in frustration after trying something else.
While this is my first backpacking stove, this may just be the best camping purchase I've ever made. The stove was super light, I loved how the fuel packed right in with everything else. Boiling water was as quick as the time it took to pour water into the canister + 2 minutes. I watched my companions setup windscreens and go through a whole production before they were done. Although the neoprene sleeve seems thin, I was able to pick up the canister with boiling water in it without feeling the heat at all. The lid with the pour spout and strainer worked perfectly for precision pouring of hot water. I tried the adapter for use with a normal pot and couldn't figure out exactly how they wanted it to fit, but I was able to arrange it and cook just fine without any stability issues. Don't try to use the stove for other cookware without it, as flames will shoot out the bottom. I now know this from experience. :)
I don't know about durability yet, since I've only taken it on one trip, but the way it's worked so far has really blown my mind. It makes meal time in the backwoods a breeze.
Only con so far is that the measuring cup/bowl really isn't enough to not bring any dishware. This might have been a weird assumption on my part, but next time I will bring a mug/bowl for sure.
All in all, I'm overjoyed with this stove. Going on another trip later this month and can't wait to use it again. This time I'll be using it at a much higher altitude, but I'm confident my JetBoil Sol Ti will be up to the task.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
The is a great, lightweight, compact stove. I chose the titanium over the aluminum due to the fact that I don't like the idea of cooking in aluminum. *talljohn is right about the horrible cozy. However, the awesome people at jetboil were very accomodating regarding this issue and are sending me a different cozy (even gave me a choice)...how awesome is that?

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
There is nothing better than pulling this stove out of your pack and having boiling wating in 2 min after a long day. I can pick it up with boiling water by gripping the neopreme and not even using the handles and it wont burn me. It cools off in maybe ten seconds. I cooked for 4 days for my girl and I(24 boiling water meals) and the small canister still had fuel in it. The measuing indicators on the inside are very nice. Items that save you time and energy while backpacking are worth spending money on. The non ti version would be a great choice as well if you can not spend the extra for the 2oz of savings.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
Just took the Titanium Sol out for the first time. Initial impressions are great - it's very lightweight and boils water very fast. The main negative is that, right out of the box, the ignitor on the Sol did not work. So, I had to use a lighter. Will be returning it to the store and getting a new one and hopefully the problem will be fixed! My only other issue with this Sol is that the cup is tricky to get onto the stove when you're cooking. If you don't want it to lock onto the stove, it is hard just to put it on and then take it off of the stove afterwards so you can just use the cup. Most of the times, I ended up having to just grab the whole stove with the burner and fuel attached to it and pour the water into my food. I'm sure with practice, I can learn to perfect this, but it was frustrating the first time around. All in all though, great stove as long as the second stove I get does not have the same ignitor problem. That was definitely an epic fail in the backcountry!

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
This stove is nearly perfect. Its very light, compact, extremely fuel efficient and built very well. Its easy to use and boils 16 oz in about 2 minutes.
The whole outfit (including one canister of fuel) weighs in at less than a pound and will boil more than 10 liters of water. For me one small canister will last for two weeks of hiking!
For long trips there is no lighter stove when fuel weight is factored.
As other reviews have noted The neoprene cozy is thin and the handle attached to it is worthless. I removed the handle and have found the thin neoprene plenty protective enough to pick up a cup of hot water 10 seconds after it stopped boiling.

Comments about Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove:
read the reviews-wonder. I used it for two weeks,making tea twice a day. Worked great,lit every time,didn't even lock it in place as was not necessary.Was very fast boiling water with very little fuel usage.Iused an almost empty cartridge and it ran for 15 minutes a day for two weeks,half of the time on low head. Cozy was good,didn't burn hands and kept tea warm for a long time.Best stove i've ever owned,and pot and everything weighed the same as my old wisperlite.
