Will there be a third? I’m definitely interested but I would need to figure out logistics for installation since I’m pretty far from someone who’d be willing to help, I’d kick myself if I missed out on this one and there weren’t more down the line!

I would suggest, if you can afford it now, then get in on it during THIS round of crowd funding.
The Titan 
has proven to be quite popular so my guess is that there will be another campaign in the future, but when that will be, will be anybodys Amals guess.
But you also never know what could happen with Suppliers, Manufacturers etc.
It sounds like you would be quite disappointed if you ended up missing out after pinning your hopes on there being a future campaign and it falls through for some unknown/unexpected reason…
Just my thoughts

Speaking of installation logistics, is the implant reasonably shelf stable? I’ve set aside $ for one, but hesitating because the next chance I’ll have to get work done will be at the next Grindfest. No one is sure when that will be so likely next spring at least. I’d imagine it would be fine to keep it in my “Spare Parts” bin until then. @amal, thoughts?

It’ll come in a vial of chlorhexidine but if that evaporates and eeks out through the o-ring cap come install time then in theory the internal contents of the vial is still considered “clean”… so just keep it closed until installation time and you should be fine.

These had no air in them when I sealed them. After almost 7 months on one and 4 or 5 in the other. Minimal loss.
Edit: if I wanted to further delay the loss, I could wrap it in parafilm

Would putting the vial in a small “airtight” Ziploc baggy help too? Or would the evaporation continue until the atmosphere in the bag is saturated?
Yeah, that. Any additional sealing would need to be tight and airless so that the alcohol has nowhere to evaporate too. Gaseous alcohol molecules escaping is much easier than contaminant laden air getting back in though, and if it did get in it would have the remaining chlorhexidine coating to deal with.

I must also wait - no travelling is possible. I got the TITAN today - and i think with luck, I can travel in November. We have so many Covid Cases in Austria. You can’t get a magnet implanted in Austria. Its a bit tricky to find someone to implant the x-series. I have a doctor for the flex series. But I love to get a video from the TITAN implantation and also a video from my next flex implant
Also, another question, sorry if it’s been answered. Couldn’t find any examples in a quick search. Is it possible/workable to implant Titans somewhere other than in the fingers? I like rock climbing and fear it might get in the way or cause issues. What other places work well, if any?

You might be happy with -L0. But I have no personal experience with that position yet, so we can investigate together.
It would be nice to know if the magnet is comfortable when riding a bike w/o gloves, or working out, or even when holding a frying pan.
Also I found that the sensation is maximal when the magnet sits sideways. I.e. not the flat surface facing out, so the field effects both the N and the S pole… I hope it makes sense.

Given it’s contents, it doesn’t seem illegal to ship. Do check though - it’s lidocaine and tetracaine.
Soo… we doing this… Titans will now include viewing film! I just need to announce it… can I use this image for that?
