It’s not like you hit a certain number of implants and something bad happens.

All of my HF & LF implants currently have a use, a door they open etc.
The other ones include LED only implants and an array of magnets.
I didn’t say anyone needed as many as I have but I like to have them and they work for me

Well, since it’s already derailed, I’m joining the Derail party
If I had to choose 4 and could not get anymore:-
- ApexFlex OR FlexSecure ( digital security and identity in The most powerful of DT / VK implants )
- FlexM1gen2 ( Convenient and super common compatibility with products )
- FlexEM ( for almost every LF need maginable) ( I would actually get a custom work T5577 in a different form factor)
FlexNT - My Best performer( Apex can handle NDEF ) - Custom Payment ( None currently available to me, but I would wait)
That was WAY more difficult than I thought it would be.
I didn’t go for any xSeries, and I LOVE my xMagic,
I could have chosen NExT and xMagic, and thats 4 chips for the “price” of 2 choices.
I went for range and performance over maximum capability
I know others would want Blinky and / or Magnet-y, but neither are practical for me
Anyway, those are MY 4 derailment implants

I’d have to go:
NExTv2 (Someday I’d like to replace my xSIID+NExT with one)
Apex Flex
Titan
Custom Payment
In dreamland:
NExTv2
Apex Flex with payment enabled
N64 grade Titan (Despite being 6% stronger, I’d be thrilled if the next run was even N55)
Indestructible Tritium
Idk though, as time goes on I get less eager for payment. I always have my phone on me anyway.

While another implant is tempting, I’d be more likely to have my current one removed and replaced with an upgrade. The installation and early healing process were rough for me (small, delicate hands that do beefy manual labor every day), and there’s no way I’m going to take my dominant hand out of commission for the month it would need. I might play with those wee NFC stickers that fit on a fingernail, though, just to get a feel for what I’m missing.
(Huzzah for more middle-aged babes in this space!)

I wasn’t sold on magnets even when I implanted mine. I just thought it was cool and gimmicky and figured 6m down the road I’ll remove it.
I can’t even begin to tell you how useful it is with small screws and parts.
The best selling point I have right now is when I was changing out the batteries in a small kids toy, on carpet with less than ideal lighting and I lost the battery door screw. A simple pass with my hand found it instantly.
The three minutes it would have taken to find without a magnet doesn’t seem like a lot. But with a screaming toddler demon that’s about 7 hours in destroyed braincell time. Magnet implants are increasing my life expectancy.

It’s gonna be permament, I’m too scared of regret to do so myself but I definitely would lol, the only reason I told you that is cuz it’s expensive as fuck
That’s my magnet story too 
After I put the first one in, I immediately got a second to match.
I like the forearm a lot, it’s not as nice to present to a reader, but perfectly fine for a phone … And being out of the hand it entirely avoid any potential issue.

I was magnet curious but unwilling to commit for a long time. And I read a comment Rosco made and my head exploded. I had two installed. And the xG3v2 has become one of my favorite implants. Sometimes you just need a magnet. But I will say that I wouldn’t get magnets in both hands again: magnetometers become worthless. I don’t currently have a hand capable of using a navigation device

I have found in my daily use, the sensing capabilities (which i was most interested in) are used the least. The utility of having a magnet has been monumental in a lot of the small electronics work i do.
The best decision i made was having it in a non-dominant hand. it so easily holds components i am working on. My next magnet (so long as the titan isnt re-released soon) is going to be wrist or back of hand just given how useful this has become.
