Hey just to save you a post next week. Wait two to three weeks before trying to read and write that LF side of the XMagic. Swelling impacts the reading

I wanted to get some input and opinions what you guys thought about placement for the xMagic. I’m thinking in the 1 position. I have the NExT in the 0 position and the Apex Flex in the 4 position. I don’t think it will be too close because the NExT kinda goes around the side when I make a fist and yes the Apex has larger antennas, but I haven’t been able to get a read that close on it. I think it will be fine and an optimal position, but I just wanted to hear the wisdom of the crowd before proceeding.

I live in Thurston County Washington -Pretty close to DT home base, I too was told during my searches for installers that body modification is illegal in this county. Oddly all the places I went to still do all types of piercing including the subdermal “posts,” but whatevs. I’ve done all 3 of my own implants so far and I don’t find it easy or fun to do. That said, I’ve had no real issues -I’ve just been very careful about cleanliness before during and after the install. I do find the 3mm units more difficult and I’ve been sitting on an xmagic for quite some time while I try to psych myself up to do the thing (this is kind of normal for me). The greater problem is the Xbt I’ve got. I really don’t feel comfortable trying to do that myself, and I’m not sure what to do. I will have had it for year next month just waiting to figure out how to get that thing under my skin and I totally do want a temp sensing chip. Best of luck, I hope something works out for you.

Why do I get the feeling this is common? Or they just don’t know anything about the implants and don’t want to admit it.
Hey wassssssup? I just saw this now and glad it sounds like you got something worked out. If not, I was going to suggest if you can make it about an hour back east of State College, there’s a piercer in I think Montgomery that did 2 injectable implants for someone I know that used to live in Central PA. He’s not on the map, but was still willing to do it. Funny thing is I just got done talking about DT implants and their capabilities and where to get them done at the Wilkes-Barre Defcon meetup tonight

Yes mate, I’ve done tests around this.
No problems
I have
NExT - P0 R
FlexM1 P1 R
Zero Issues
xMagic P0 L
Apex in P1 L
Zero Issues
So you will have no problem with the xMagic in the P1 position
What do you have in the P0 of the other hand?

Nothing, but I kinda want all 3 in one hand and nothing on the other. So on my left side of my body I carry my phone and flipper zero, smartwatch with a pipboy skin, and want all of those 3 implants on the left, so left side is tech side. On my right side I have my multitool with a bunch of common bits, keychain full of gadgets and universal keys, flashlight, blacklight flashlight, laserpointer, pen, knife, so right side is gadget/utility side.
I think after I get this one that hand will be “full” and I can wait for future tech to come out and start implanting the right later.

kinda cool utilitarian mindset.
I would consider how you have to orient your hand to present the chip.
for instance. tape something to your hand and look how you have to maneuvar your hand to line it up with the thing that it needs to be scanned by. Also note it takes quite a bit of practice to learn how to properly orient it to get a good scan. you may change your midn when you see yourself squaring up with a card reader just to get in.
