Just got confirmation from my installer that they’d do another install for me, and ordered an xG3v2!
I currently have my NExT in my left arm, and my xMagic in R4.
Are there any particularly good (or bad) locations for magnets? Other thoughts? I want it in a normalish position (ie P0 - P11) and will absolutely not request a finger install.
I would like to prioritize sensing if that helps. I understand the v2 isn’t great for sensing and a titan would have been better, but I do want some of that ability, even if I can only feel it occasionally.
I think I’ll avoid R0 specifically, because I fear the steel slide of a semi-auto pistol may give me odd sensations if it flew over the implant… Wait… Maybe that would be good? Or wouldn’t happen?
Anyways, this is in lounge as opposed to support for a reason. What’s your thoughts, magnet club?
my reccomendation would be the hand that is non-dominate.
As far as sensing i have heard mixed things about sensing in the P0-5 locations.
FWIW, i use the practicallity of holding small devices with my magnet more than the sensing aspect. Which is backwards from what i expected prior to installing it (which is why against reccomendation i installed my Xg3v2 in my finger). Looking back id probably put it in P2 which i believe is where @XC-108 has hers
For picking up small objects… Screws etc, which I have to do quite often for servers or critical systems that need some hardware love, or at home… Would P0 not be superior to P2? Also any specific reason for P2 as opposed to P1/P3?
I have mine in P1. It’s fantastic for holding small screws and stuff like that while I’m working. I’ve played with the sensing apps, and I can definitely feel it when there is a strong magnetic field close to my hand or if a metal or stone contains a significant amount of iron. However, my primary use is for holding small ferrous objects.
got mines in the front arm, awesome for hex bit (my most common use) and small screws/bits
If you do machining, watch out with hot chips, they do stick and burn
High voltage → lower amps. @Satur9 discusses this waaaay back here. Tldr, you feel high amperage. Low amps with high voltage isn’t going to be noticeable.
Once you’ve got it, you’ll use it. Just maybe not how you expect. I used mine for testing solenoids and to tell if a material was magnetic. These days, mostly the latter.
I forgot about solenoids, came in “handy” a few times at work
even in the forearm, i can feel the Asco redhat from about 1.5" to 2" away (I was never expecting to feel anything in that location)
Based on what I’m seeing here, I may be able to feel some of the cables in some of my server and networking racks at work… That would be super useful actually.
Eh, DC is harder to feel unless the amperage is huge. The pole switching of AC make things noticeable. So, if they’re not drawing–i forget what the consensus was… 5amps? 10? At the wall, the no.
Edited to add: I never had much luck feeling current flow but my magnets where in P5. And the TiTAN was uselessly deep, as it turns out.
