The 5.ohm version might be more attainable. Amazon has 24awg Ti grade for a decent price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D62AHWU
Then all you need is some non resistance wire like pure silver, which is widely available from the ecig vendors.
Ceramic wicking is a toss up. Not sure where G gets his sticks, which would be the best options. But if you can't find that the next option is xc-116. A braided ceramic rope from rbasupplies.com
The last and prob hardest part is a wire joiner/welder, unless you want to spend some $$ your options are limited to twisting the wires, or hombrew like a "Spotty" wire welder. There's also some crazy people using disposable cameras.
It's still doable you just gotta put a lot of effort. In my opinion, $20 from W9 is well worth the time saved.
Good find on that titanium wire ... just ordered a roll.
FC-2000 is the ceramic wick you're looking for
