The handles are formed into a kind of "letter C" shape and can be removed and bent slightly then replaced into the cup/pot. That will tighten them up and quiet them down. I modified the lid handle the same way, then took a small file and filed a slot in one end of the hinge (just like the Toaks). Now the little tab stays up when needed, and doesn't rattle.

Thanks for taking the time--your video helped me make the decision to purchase Toaks. BTW-Toaks got your email, and all of the sizes I've seen now have the levels indicated--without having to send your pot to TheGoatMumbler shop for marks! BTW, "Viola" is an instrument similar to a violin; the usual expression is "voila"--French for "There it is!" or "There you go!" [2:58] But...I love it. A new "Dadism" for the kids! Vi-ola!

My branded 750 ml Toaks pot says Esbit on it. The way i dealt with not having measuring marks on the pot was taking the long handle spoon that I always carry and filing notches in it. Hold spoon in pot and pour until the notch goes underwater. And I'm with you on that handle kink for the third finger. You don't need to have a death grip on the handle to keep your knuckles off the hot side of the pot. I put one of those silicone rubber wrist bands around the top to act as a hotlip.

This is the first time a review clarified the difference in Toaks handles. I have never liked wire handles, and I never liked them for the reasons you mentioned. The handles rattle around. I would have to steady the cooking pot or cup with my knuckles touching rhe hot surface, so what is the point? I select cookware or cups with no handles, or lock in place and squeeze to fold down. I like what I have, but it is good to know Toaks might be in my future. I have admired their products.

Snow peak makes some great pots, so does toaks. The snow peak pot you have is kind of the cheap one that does not fit in the normal product line. The 450, 600, 900 pot all have better handles. Snow peak is more cash, so if on a budget, toaks is the way to go. For me anyway, my TI pots are going to last me my lifetime,.. I go out to eat at a restaurant once and it's a $70 bill. So the extra cost of one brand over another is really a wash over time for a long use item like a pot. Not related, but an example,.. I got a good home use pot set when I got married, still using it 30 years later. I might have paid $100 more for the better set, but over time it's really nothing. Buy what you really want once,..

My main problem with Toaks (and all the no name Chinese “titanium” makers) is that there’s no guarantee it’s even titanium. If it were, why is the metal different shade than the Snow Peak? Likely most “titanium” made in China is an aluminum alloy. No thanks. I’ll stick to legit non-Chinese makers.
