So I’m super sad my install failed.
My fault
That said, when I am ready to reinstall - what alternative would y’all recommend to the ring finger?
I want to optimize the sensing ability, but I want to make sure this is (as much as possible) a one and done install.
i feel sad for you 
idk… middle finger? thats where mine went.
-p0?
i heard lots of positive stuff about that.
i dont think anyone can recommend a spot where a self install is a one and done. it totally depends on how you do it and not on the spot i guess.
looking for a professional installer with experience would be more like a one and done thing i think?
anyway, good luck on the next try!
you can come over and im gonna do the install /s
Was that an invite to an install party!
my middle has an xSIID … i suppose i could yank it and deepen the hole… 
was also drunkenly considering … under the fingernail, the sensitivity alone would be amazing
im worried the nail would grow and push it out…
as long as there is beer and sausages, IM in!

Summary
fck - we should not derail further. there is another thread 4 that 
Well apparently I can’t edit my earlier post (403 forbidden), so I guess I’ll just make another 
:
Day five
Still looks really ugly (clean blood of you skin ASAP people, don’t me like me ), but it isn’t hurting or sore at all. Currently still trying to keep it dry so as to make sure the scabs don’t get too softened. Feels interesting, and I can definitely tell there’s something there. Here’s a picture on day five:
Day 8-9 and first sensing!!!
First time ever getting the install site properly wet in the shower, and it really helped to clean it up. Here’s a pic from before the shower and the next morning:
Also since it has been over a week I thought I’d try sensing out for the first time. First up, the ever faithful microwave. WOW, I must saw it’s a really crazy feeling. It’s like a buzzing, kinda tickling, it was really quite shocking. Unfortunately I only got around 5-10cm range, but still, the microwave is old and I imagine my nerves and other tissues are still healing. The second (and final for now) thing I tried was the fans in my laptop. Took a bit of concentration, but I can feel them from the keyboard side, and a bit more from the bottom. Far far weaker than the microwave, but still really cool. Can’t wait for it to fully heal!

Any word on this? I’m in Indy, and the “partner” in South Bend has not responded to my email from over a week ago.
The partner map is not always upto date.
More of a “correct at time of printing”
but there is a project going on in the background to get it upto date / revamp
aka.
Partner map SOON ™

Personally I would try a phonecall, just to at least make sure they are still in business.

I had much more luck contacting folks on Instagram… for some reason.

When I contacted him the answer I received was that this kind of procedure was illegal in his area due to the health board considering it a surgical procedure…
Also update (install was Saturday night, it is now Thursday):

So where’d you get it installed then?
I had a friend from my dorm who self installed his haworth a while ago do mine for me. While I was at it I convinced him to order a titan of his own to replace his degraded haworth.

I’ve heard a tattoo shop say this to me as well. (Installed one anyway because he thought it was badass). But I’ve also had another install my implants and not mention it being illegal (Time Bomb Tattoos - Fredrick, MD). They’re also going to be installing my Titan. I have a bunch of videos of my gauntlet being installed but they’re in Apples .MOV(?) that isn’t supported on the forum. I’ll convert them eventually but most file converters leave the footage looking worse than just not uploading.

I know this is off topic but ffmpeg will do file conversion without reducing quality. It just has a bit more of a learning curve.
So,
it healed nicely.
The position is not the best one because its direct at the pad of the finger, not even a bit to the side xD - well now ive gotta deal with that 
Next one goes more to the side of the finger 
Lifing is compared to the xg3 in my finger quite weak, sensing “Range” is still better on my xg3,
but some fields make the titan vibrate way more then the xg3 ever did.
Cant wait for all the nerves to crowl around the titan!

How long does that usually take? I’ve had my xG3 for about a month now and I can feel other magnets but that’s about it. I don’t feel the microwave or speakers or fans
(I am no expert, this is a guess based on personal experience)
My titan is about a week old now and I can already feel fans, phone chargers, Microwaves… So I would Guess that if it’s not giving anything yet, the xg3 might just not work well for sensing in your case as unfortunate as that would be…
I hope I’m wrong and the time a titan takes to grow nerves back might be very different to an xg3 but I thought I’d throw my experiences in anyway
Out of curiosity, has it been annoying at all?
I’ve been really curious if, especially given the amount of electronics I tend to be around, if sensing would be irritating after a while.

Not so far at least. I’m still in the this is so cool and exciting phase where I descovery everything that produces sensation. Maybe after a good chunk of time it might be less exciting but I don’t think it’ll get annoying.
What has gotten a little annoying is babying the finger while working two retail jobs because it is only a week old and not fully healed
