TITAN (Contains spoilers!)⚠

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m so used to my Adobe suite I use Adobe rush.

Evening progress update. It looks ok, it’s throbbing like crazy and I’m at the daily max of naproxen so I’ll just have to grit my teeth. I’m basically being a big baby and my partner and puppy are not impressed.


The ice pack feels fantastic though.

Looking good!

Is that redness just dried blood (like almost a scab), or is it still gooey?

Hope the pain goes away soon!

Yup we are nearly on scab land. No more goo since I uncovered it this morning.

Morning update.
I think the titan looks better, it feels a lot less miserable.


And these are not titans but they are the other three installs that happened simultaneously and that I’m currently trying to heal:

  1. Payment Conversion new flex format (aka the butterfly) 5mm needle install

    No read as of today (still fairly swollen)
  2. Red xLED to serve as visual feedback for my xM1 that’s right next to it

    Lights up perfectly already.

    Terrible photo but it’s hard to do phone and reader one handed while covering it all with a blanket to make it dark.
  3. White xSIID in my chest under my tattoo

    Reads, writes and lights up perfectly. It’s red cause of the blood most likely but I’m observing in the hopes that it will remain orange tinted due to the ink. (This is a test for a bigger idea I have involving my whole tattoo)

Glad to hear! ^^

I am particularly interested in your experience with it!
Been running some comparison between new and old antenna for that format and got kinda scared with some of the results.
But probably a card reader pumps out some more Oomph, and a card’s chip is faster than the magic one I have with that butterfly…

In short, I’m really curious about how easy terminals will read your implant, if you don’t mind sharing! (In another thread or dm) ^^

Smart! :wink:

If it’s new, yes. every new led has a tendency to look like it’s red first :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I can only compare it to the wearable keychain format it came with, since I dont have any wedge flex implants in me (my first flex was a jumbo and this is the second) my initial impression is that the implant in its sterile bag reads better than the keychain (I have a spare keychain to compare) with my iphone XR as the reader.

Before implanting it i attented to pay at the pet store with one of those readers that has a grey panel on the side. It kept waiting for the card to appear even though i rubbed it up against it. There were other people waiting so i got freaked out and left but it immediately read with my phone from a fair distance.

I was gonna implant it regardless and see what happens but my installer put his foot down and drove me to the gas station where we could find a payment machine. He explained to the cashier that is was an implant we needed to test before it went in my arm and she thought it was cool and helped us out. It took a few seconds till i figured out how to show it to the reader but then it read without a problem, so we went again with the instal and my account two euros lighter.
Today, no read at all from my phone but im not surpised given the swelling. I will post more about it when its all healed up.

Yeah, it went in on Sunday too, about 10 minutes before the titan and right after the xLED. It was an implantathon.

Seems consistent with what I’m seeing… :sleepy:

Being in the hand should make you learna “sweet move” that helps it being less fiddly, I believe. ^^

Thanks!

Think I’ll make a thread with some solid tests if I get some time today.

Love what you did there! :sweat_smile:

Short update cause I’m mind blown:

Through the swelling I can feel my laptop fans through the keyboard, like my parylene magnets do but… crisper… stronger… and this is with my feeling still all messed up from the install.

IT’S UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE

Distance between my finger and the keyboard.

Cool! Thats about the distance i can feel my laptop fan with the HEALED Xg3

It also totally blew my mind when I got the first sensations!

The blender is really crazy!

I can feel it up to 15cm

I get something like that, maybe a bit more distance with my parylene ones, microwave gives me about 80cm but it feels duller and it took longer to get there

Hopefully the sensing abilities only improve from here! IIRC some people have said as long as 6 months for fully sensing depending on how many nerves were cut during install

Correct there! sometimes even more.

On odd placements you might also need to train yourself up a bit…

And on that note: Holy Cuntflaps!!!

I’ve been trying to keep my titan away from anything eletromagnectic, to speed up healing, but I just accudentaly reached out for something under my desk…

My solid metal framed desk…

WOW! :exploding_head:

Could feel it really crisply! :star_struck:

Nice! Big congrats to that one!

It might be a bit early to tell… buuuuut… so you would say sensing is there, even though the Titan is placed in an unusual spot? :wink:

I definitely felt it much, MUCH, more than I expected, especially talking about just being plain metal.

I literally felt as if I had bumped my wrist against the frame, but was at least an inch away from it! :exploding_head:

but you are right:

I plan on starting to run tests only about 3 weeks from now.

Don’t hurry… it is far more important to have a good healing :wink:
