If you had told me two years ago that I’d have a Titan and an Apex Flex in my possession and that I was planning to have them installed at the and of the month, I’d say “what’re those” and “nah” respectively. 
I got into all this in a weird, roundabout way. Sometime last year I saw a (somewhat sensationalized) video on YouTube about products that were available to purchase, but that could possibly be banned at some point. The one that resonated with me was the Flipper Zero. All the random things it could do and the worlds it could open up, all in a convenient portable package. So I ordered one. I also got a diagnostic card from DT at some point.
Sometime around then and for reasons that I don’t recall, I became aware of the concept of magnetic implants. Whether that led me directly to DT or if I learned more first, I don’t recall, but the prospect fascinated me. I did a whole lot of reading and learned what to expect and what was unrealistic. I was mostly interested in sensing rather than lifting, so naturally the Titan became my pipe dream.
As I explored with my Flipper and learned more about rfid, I realized that (surprise!) many of the DT implants were based on that technology. My workplace also got us some new badges, which I quickly learned incorporated a LF chip. At this point, my thoughts were “I’ll get a NExT for the ease of install, and if that goes well then I’ll save up for a Titan someday.”
I eventually heard that the Titan supply was running low, and that manufacturing additional ones was going to take some jumping through hoops. I wanted the best magnetic sensing possible and I knew for sure that I’d never be able to withstand getting an xG3 in my finger, so when an opportunity presented itself for me to secure a Titan, I took it. My thought then was “I’m a little nervous about the Titan install, but I’m committed now so it’ll be worth it. I’ll get a NExT as well if they go on sale for the holidays, and if both of those go well then maybe I’ll get an Apex Flex someday.”
Well the holidays rolled around, and the NExT didn’t go on sale. The Apex Flex did, and it was no small discount. At this point I was really getting interested in what the Flex could do, so I decided to save my future self some cash and get one.
It’s like Amal has said, it all sounds kind of crazy until you learn about how it can be useful (or even just interesting) to have.
( if I’m remembering correctly, it was initially just magnets ?!
) eventually I gave up and then I had it popping into my mind and I came back and they had what I wanted & more in stock, and since I had been previously trained as body modification artist I was able to install them everything myself and it’s been great!
