just in case some of you out there were not aware...(i took this off another dive bbs):
"The Fall issue of IMMERSED has a statement from Atomic Aquatics warning of using their titanium regs with any mix above 40%. It went on to say that they didn't recommend using hot mixes with their brass regs either, but it pointed out that titanium has a far lower burning temperature than brass or stainless. I would think that since DAN recalled their aluminum first stages, that this is true for aluminum first stages as well.

(I am not picking on Atomic. I respect them for making this safety statement. Just remember that there are several regs out there under different names that use titanium!)"
