This actually seems like an outstanding deal. About 10 years ago I was looking for a titanium flask for the best man at my wedding and the ONLY one I could find was made by Snow Peak out of Japan and *very* expensive. It was worth it at the time but this is an amazing deal for somebody wanting an awesome flask that isn't a piece of chrome-plated chinese pot metal like most of the ones you find at local stores.
My two cents after carrying and using this for a bit. Maybe address some of the criticism as well.
-The cap threads are a little "rough" initially, but with use they smooth out.
-The cap isn't attached, but I knew that when I bought it. You know, because of pictures and stuff.
-The internal volume is fine for camping or a friendly get together. Flasks aren't intended to get the whole party wasted, they're for personal use. The flask hold ~5 ounces, which is more than enough for single barrel bourbon or a nice single malt. It is the perfect size for a suit or sport coat pocket. I actually carried mine to a charity event last night and it wasn't visible nor did it weigh down the jacket (sag).
-No leaks. The body of the flask is sturdy enough to ride in a back pocket or backpack without fear of being crushed.
-Filling the flask requires patience. The funnel helps, but the small opening of the flask does require taking your time.
-For $25, it's tough to beat. I don't know what grade of titanium it is and don't care really. It doesn't impart flavor and it doesn't take on the flavor of what's in it. After 4 weeks, the Macallan that was in it tasted the same as what was in the bottle.
DO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY! This thing DOES NOT seal tightly. Something to do with the way it is machined or how small the opening is but you CAN NOT get a tight seal unless your CRANK DOWN on the little cap. I'm talking about more than 10 NM of force at least, every time I do it, I feel like I'm going to strip the threads right off and it takes at least a minute of effort to ensure that it is tight enough. Even with this much care, I still found it to leak some of the time. This design flaw defeats the purpose of the flask. I was really excited about this thing but it is a total fail.
For those wondering, the stated volume is 3.4oz, or 100mL, but it actually holds 145mL of water. Filled it, emptied it, put it on the scale, hit tare, then filled it completely, then weighed it. That's 4.9oz. As I washed it and dumped the water out a few times, I thought it would make for a decent number of sips of whiskey. I think this will definitely suffice for a 2-3 night hiking trip. Happy to stop using plastic!!

yokken> stated volume is 3.4oz, or 100mL, […] filled it completely, then weighed it. That's 4.9oz.
You've fallen victim to one of the world's classic blunders, the most well-known of which is, "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well-known is, "Don't confuse the volume measurement 'fluid ounces' with the weight measurement 'ounces', as they are not remotely the same thing!"
To paraphrase, anyway.
If you were to weigh a known volume of water, you could compute the volume of an unknown quantity of water by weighing it, as long as the temperature and pressure of both the known and unknown quantities of water were the same. Otherwise, ... well, you're comparing apples and llamas.
