I glued some brass tubes into some blanks and could hardly breathe for a few days. It was that fast drying glue. My question is can I use Titebond 2 glue for the brass tubes?

Epoxies have to be mixed, and can (must) be applied with some kind of applicator (toothpick, popsicle stick etc depending on the size of the joint).

If you want to use CA, get some of the odorless CA from Bob Smith Industries. We have several turners who are asthmatic, or are rather violently allergic to CA. Since we switched to the odorless glue, we haven't had any allergic reactions. We use it for inlaying, and for CA/BLO finish.
I have had great success with 2 part epoxy. I usually let set overnight, of if done in the AM, the 6-8 hrs and turn in the evening. Messy, yup; waste, yup. So out of $8.00 (or whatever the cost was for the 2 tubes), I may waste $2.00 over 6 months (a high 25% waste), not a real issue to worry about.
I checked my materials: System Three 2-part Epoxy from Woodcraft. $40.00 for 2 pint containers. 3/4 full after 11 months. So about $10.00 every 6 months for me. I'm sure there are cheaper varieties available, but I have little interest to try to save $3.00 - $4.00 in a year's usage.
