If it's Polished Stainless Steel and you torch the INSIDE, it'll turn gold/dark purple

Um no idiot. Why the hell would the TIP be hotter than the rest of the canister? Its because they torch the tip to SHOW that it is IN FACT TITANIUM. Know what you're talking about before you hammer someone, moron.
