Hey all - I just got my shine from IAR - how does it compare to DT stuff?
I know DT is the premier place to get stuff to shove into myself, but this one was a gift.
Thoughts?
Also. Gummy bear bribery doesn’t hurt.
I guess I should be flattered about the appropriation of the “x” naming convention… but it still irks me a little hah
Also thanks for the recon 
I guess we need to get candy in our shipments now too! hahah

No claims about sterile inside the glass (afaik), no epoxy, so overall a little riskier. But a free facemask, so that’s a plus.
Awesome gift!
Honestly, DT > IAR

In work we order from a company called thorlabs (optics supplier) and they send you lab snacks
Usually a selection of German sweets

Is there any particular reason it was an x?
Well, you are industry-leading, so it was bound to happen at some point 
That is fucking awesome!
All Thermo Fisher sends us is an occasional complementary poster…
Okay,
i checkd out their website.
i dont get it.
The German language is totally fucked up and seems like 1/1 coming out of a dirty hole from the Google Translator.
Then i wondered if its a non german company, what could explane that.
In the Imprint i read a fucking german adress.
They have a number there. i think i have to call them 
Chocolate from the USA 
DT has cool stickers too an beautiful boxes
A fabric facemask ( you can wash them) with the DT or vivokey sign would be cool.

At the bottom they have a bunch of newspaper articles how awesome implants are. no link to the articles.
i think they want it to look like the newspapers wrote about them, but im 99% sure if the articles exist that its not about them^
again, that all is not a link to the article.
very fishy
Edit:
Thats the house where they re located^
Edit#2
That is another site run by the same person from the imprint
https://chip-implants.com
edit#3
The review stuff at the bottom is also kind of shitty.
the top one is just a link to their fb page and the bottom one a link to the main page of micro payment, not to their subsite on micropayment or so, just their homepage so everyone could embedd that
I dont want to throw a lot of shit around. thats just my first impression of them…
they re propably legit, and just reselling some stuff they bought themself (aliexpress?)
All that is again just my first impression and guesses. i m an idiot & have no clue what im talking about
The most parts of the Website are written quite nice, some parts are akward to read
Like my english 4 example lol

Lol no, they make their implants. There are some nice combos like xM1+xEM in 1 glassie, nothing you can just buy afaik. They use the same glass as DT. They even got into flex implants (their PAY1).
haha
its propably all legit and fine^
im just a bit sceptical
