Left hand ring finger gee tip.
So un-fun.

Ooofā¦ Thatās where Iām planning my install. Seems like the best location for sensing.
Anyone have any troubles with barbells/lifting from this install location? Iām working with a trainer for some more traditional body-modification (upper body weak nerd here). I realize there will be a period where I will not want to strain the install location, but after itās been installed, I should be okay, right?
I sent an email to Pineapple few days ago. He does not recommend placing Titan in the fingertip, because he believes itās too big. But he said he would do it for me since I already have another magnet in my hand and Iām familiar with the whole procedure. I guess he wants to make sure that if implant fails due to its size, I donāt complain later 
(I have one of Howarthās magnets on the side of my hand that Pineapple implanted himself more than 4 years ago. Itās still working fine and I never had any problem with it)

Titan: 2.8mm Ć 4.5mm
Haworth: 2.54mm Ć 4.191mm
I know there has to be a limit somewhere, but were talking ~0.3mm difference, that aint much.

I donāt have a Haworth magnet in my fingertip, itās in the side of hand. They are not good for sensing if Iām not mistaken, mostly because of their silicone case.
Did Pineapple have a suggestion where he thought it might fit better? Curios what his perspective is.

He didnāt mention an alternative to fingertip. I will ask him when I go for implanting Titan.

New user, but long time lurker here and this will be a long one. The titan will be my first implant, but definitely not my last. Iām in love with the work of dangerous things providing biohacking to the masses.
I just got my delivery yesterday and Iām very excited to get it in me. Iām in west Florida and I have a contact for the procedure through a friend. My sister got the xG3 and will have it in position 0 while my titan will be in my left hand ring finger. Iāve heard a lot about size problems, but I have pretty large fingers and Iām going to speak with my professional about cutting a pocket for insertion. I think it would be a good idea and Iām not too worried about it, but Iāll take their input.
Iām not too worried about the procedure, so I think my main concern is about the aftercare. I spent a couple days with a small bandage around my finger to get an idea of what my major issues would be. Washing my hands is a bit of an extra chore and I do so very often, so I got a bit worked up about not being able to keep my hands clean, especially in the current world. My partner is very forgetful, so Iāve cought them grabbing on my hands a lot, but I think thatās something Iāll be better about when itās actually in.
Overall, I think Iām finally ready to do this after years of following the community and talking to family and friends about it. Iām really excited to try and share pictures of my journey if possible and join a group of people Iāve only ever felt welcome by. Thanks for reading

In case anyone still wondering, this is the case. With less swelling, I can now lift up to 4 paperclips.

You certainly sound like you are more than ready.
Iām looking forward to seeing your updates.
Good luck buddy
What do you think,
will it create a bond to the surrounding tissue like the biobond polymer on glass implants because of the rough surface?
some people managed to rotate it inside of the pocket but i was still wondering^
Received mine and excited to have it installed!
It will not. The surface isnāt porous like biobond, it just has a series of tiny ridges left by machining. This is like the indents on your shoesā¦ might create a little resistance to movement but itās not definitely bonded to the sidewalkā¦ so to speak.
