Thanks 
It seam like they have decent documentation, hopefully i can figure it out
Say I open a manās apparel and accessories boutique (which Iām planning ), is vivokey planning on a wholesale option for the apex ring?
Iād love to have implants but thatās not exactly a safe bet 
I donāt think I have the audience for that, yet.

Itās kinda hard to sell in a more general shop thatās not specifically bodmod or tattoo related. Plus Iām not exactly in a modern tech savy location. That said mine are very visible and I will inevitably have the conversation with clients about them so that will give me the opportunity to see if thereās demand.
Another concer is that I donāt know of any reliable installer on the island. If I were to bring implants I would have to find one and do some sort of partnership.
Rings on the other side fit perfectly with what Iām going for.

Sounds like it might become profitable for you to qualify as an installer. Captive market.

Hmmm
I might cheap out on the soldering iron
Looking at this on Amazon
20$, (they sell a 14$ version but itās ungrounded)
80watts and programmable 
The pinecil was very attractive because of the reputation, the āfast heat upāā¦ and if Iām being honest the ability for it to be stored like this
Watched a few reviews on it ā¦ seems fine
The pinecil is only 25$ but it quickly gallons to 80 when you need to get a power supply, a extra tip pack, a usb c pd cord etc
Realistically I donāt solder enough to justify it, and a lot of what Iām going to be doing is low temperature threaded heat inserts into 3D prints
Technically I have a full station unit already but I fricken hate itā¦ it takes forever to heat upā¦ and the cord is ungodly thick and stiff so it knocks everything off my desk whenever I use it and the temp control is analog and wildly inconsistent
thoughts on how wrong I am?

Donāt
Just get the pinecil ( It comes with a fine tip ) and add a cable, use your current PD Powerbank
That will do pretty much everything you need/want

The pinecil has a dc barrel jack on the back of it as well so any powersupply that plugs into it that is between 12 and 21V should be adequate. Same goes for any USB-C PD charger that can supply at least 36W.
edit: also be sure to use a brass sponge thingy. Wet kitchen sponge works in a pinch but the steam will eat away the tip of your soldering iron over time. Also, the brass scouring pads are cheap and last forever.

I just checked and my power bank is only 20w pd, so thatās out lol
Iām back to 50/50
Apparently cnc kitchen makes their own pine/ts101 tips specifically for heat insertsā¦ so thatās a plus
Ok, Iāve got to ask again.
Have the emojis changed again?
I canāt select smiley again. Haha.
I know. Important thingsā¦
But itās been going on a while.
So Iām curious.
And I remember it getting split Into two colums. And now itās one again?
Anybody else?
Iām back to my s22+ phone.
When I try desktop mode it just blinks for a fraction of a second but doesnāt show anything.
And I still canāt get it to show this place in landscape (ie rotate)
Appreciate any insight @Pilgrimsmaster
Thanks.
