Nice one Jimsie thanks for letting us know. The ohms change as you use it or for the first burn?
Jim532 on ukv has suggested using a battery to anneal it

A word of caution. If just a little too much heat is applied the wire will burn. Very much like magnesium. So today I decided to eliminate that risk as the only lighter I have is my turbo lighter.
So take a standard 18650/14500 or whatever you have. Then using a couple of wires connect one end to the battery & the other to the Titanium wire. Do the same with both positive & negative & touch the wire with each polarity about 3cm/1" apart for about 2 seconds. The wire will glow & that's the same as burning it with your lighter without the risk of your wire going up like a roman candle. Then move along the wire & repeat until you have prepared enough wire for your coil. Or you could always prepare more of the wire for future coils whilst you are there.
Ok so I have clips & a battery holder. But I didn't use those. I just had a battery & 2 lengths of wire & took it from there. Even a battery & a couple of teaspoons would do the job. I am rushing this post as got an atty to finish. Therefore I hope I have explained it so that its easy to understand. Took a couple of pics as they say more than words.
Hoping that saves the frustration of burning away a few cm of your expensive Titanium wire as I did mine.
