There are closer places distance wise, but this is close to my work HQ and usually I travel there quite often so traveling “1180 Miles” is actually more convenient. I also get to stay in a hotel and not worry about things like washing up dishes etch when I am traveling so plan is to get it done over a weekend when I am up there next

@amal can step in if I am wrong but I think the flex implants come in a plastic vial in a solution of chlorhexidine??? Then again the flexEM is wide so maybe not in a vial?
And given his post below It seems to be years if not handled too much (regarding the paper sleeves) so for the plastic vials should be years too I would assume:

Yeah, I also find it funny the UK uses the international mile.
Measurements; internationally only United States, Liberia and Myanmar use imperial.
But distance / speed United States Liberia , Myanmar and the United Kingdom use miles.
Weird

Having lived all over the place and sailing I think I am starting to get all the common measuring systems down pat… Only one that I hate is Fahrenheit… I have adopted the simple temperature system of:
- Cold as fuck
- Cold
- Fine
- Warm
- Satan’s Ass crack
Seems to be widely understood.

I thought it was;
- Fucking hell
- Cold
- Fine
- Warm
- Hot
- Fucking hell
I digress. I really got to figure the search terms out i couldn’t find anything when i looked 
maybe we could get a sneak peak at the shipping (packaging) for the flexEM from @mdanger?
If not mine should be here Monday (27th) i have just been informed by DHL and ill pop a couple of pic’s up.
So its 2am here so i think thats me for tonight

This is going to be totally off topic, so imma gonna blur it, cause it don’t count none 
Here is the Rant you asked for the other day @NiamhAstra
Temperature
Fahrenheit just a stupid measurement, hands down, water freezing at 32f and boiling at 200f and something bullshit, WHYYYYY???
Why not 0 freeze and boil at 100??? simple
Distance
Miles stupid because of the way it breaks down, 1760 yards WTF, DUM at least there is a standard mile, there used to be a whole bunch including but not limited to London, English, welsh, Irish…
Also the Nautical mile,I don’t mind, and understand it, As there is not much you can do to align that because we can’t change the size of Earth.
Time
A couple of hundred years ago, the French proposed Decimal Time, ( I think tried twice, It didn’t catch on) I would have supported that.
Internet time a modern day equivillent.
I think Swatch tried something back in the 80’s or 90’s also.
Base 10 people!!!
Smarter not harder

flexEM are different… they are inside a sterilization pouch but that pouch is inside a sealed poly bag with chlorhexidine. It’ll be fine forever. When ready, open and leave pouch in safe place to dry. Once dry, open and let the flexEM drop to the sterile field without contamination and proceed.

I also got a flexEM and a notification that it shipped. Very exciting.
I intend to use it to open a couple doors at my apartment building without mucking with the read angles like with xEM.
Also, I have a home safe that sometimes just won’t open because of limited xEM range (I have to use a regular LF card then). I expect flexEM to solve this and I should be able to open the safe all the time and instantly.
As for the installation costs, I expect to be quoted around US$100. I’m based in Croatia and I already have a contact of a pro guy that does body implants.

I only say this to you because you have a few to put in. I would go buy some hypoallergenic tegaderms if you can. The ones included gave me a faint scar, and I don’t remember having an adhesive allergy. I plan to get tested now though.
Edit: just want to clarify this is in no way dangerous things fault in case anyone else reads this. I was not aware I potentially had an allergy to adhesives.
Edit 2. This scar will fade over a few months, it won’t/shouldn’tbbe permanent.

Injectables as a stand-alone are max £40 with our partners and yes definitely discounts for multiple installs!
Definitely a shame about the form factor of the FlexEM as we’ve started to offer the needle installations.

Good to know about the needle flex installs.
I just want to itterate im not complaining about the install price, its a small price to pay to avoid me causing issues. The installer does some truly amazing work so I’m happy to pay.
