I think that's what they're referring toOh i havedon't you worry about that.
Unless you're talking about seasoning a nail with water...Then I honestly don't know what you're talking about

A lot of people drop their hot nail in water and then coat it in oil.
I forget the exact reasoning so I can't say if its proper, but I did it to mine.

Slothing around
Oil would displace all the water and protect the metal from the air, preventing oxidizing (rusting).
On the other hand you end up with an oily nail, not sure if this would have any effect.
Alternative solution could be to put it in rice or silica gel for 1-2 days, which would take out all the water.

pretty sure Ti doesn't rust, or at least not at a rate that would affect you

Please watch this and season your nail

I respond with this http://www.highlyeducatedti.com/blog/?p=261 lol
I don't know why putting it in water would be a good idea, it only would speed up oxidation before the nail was ever used. To each their own I suppose.
Edit, ok seasoning a nail now, I do know why some would dunk in water, it takes less time for impatient people. I however will just hit a different nail while I season this new one and take my time.

Wikipedia:
Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Tiand atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density and high strength. It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia and chlorine.
Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum)oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[6] It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti).[7] Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
Also lol as the OP is banned.
