Does anyone have a spare Titan magnet (preferably not having been installed before) that they would be willing to sell?
Thanks, Nate

I’ve never heard of them, ive only every bought from DT, its just been the safest looking option for me. Have you implanted any of Abyss Walkers magnets?

I don’t have any magnetic implants, but I do know there are some people around here who have them installed
Just wanted to bring them to your attention as a possible alternative 
There are a few threads about their products if you want to read more:

I believe DT may be offering “the same” magnets SOON™ but just no dates as yet.
My GUESS on the delay is due dilligence in safety testing.
Thats not to say Abyss Walker products aren’t safe, as mentioned above, there are people with them installed, just different testing methods.

You’ll mostly find people with Abyss Walker magnets over on the Biohackers Digital discord. This is where the project originated thanks to Merlin.
Filin fact I’m getting one today!

How did the install go? and is there a ballpark timeframe for how long it takes to heal fully? Im not talking about the pain/swelling I mean for the body to form the fibrous encapsulation around the implant and be completely done.

Went super good. I also got a glow powder ring on the same finger.
You probably won’t see much difference after 3-4 months but in theory it can last up to ~6 months or more.
The only numbers I’ve seen on that (I hope to change this with ZINC) is the surface strength monitoring I did of my xG3 and Sense52s:
My assumption is that surface strength is somwhat correlated with swelling and encapsulation.
I wasn’t very diligent on the measurements but you can see the steady increase before reaching a plateau after a few months.
I’ll be doing this again and more frequently with my new one, as soon as I get the stitches out.
