Maybe keep it in a brightly colored eyeglass/pencil case?
You can put an immersion heater in a titanium mug as long as the coil at the tip remains covered with liquid. I'd get the double walled mug, though, since the single walled mug can get pretty hot with hot water poured into it.
What happens if the coil gets exposed? Are we talking core meltdown?
Seriously, what are the physics of this? If there's no water then you start a fire? Or can you get electrocuted or something...?
I'm really absent minded. it's a problem. Is the hotel going to burn down?
