I have had three OEM quartz bangers break on me and my buddy has had two. We were going to give up and use the titanium instead, when I found these. TBH, the titanium is not great, and these are very well priced, so I bought three, and gave one to my friend. They have been fantastic. I cant measure it, but these feel a bit thicker walled (could be wrong, again I have no method to measure this), and have not broken!
