Coating Questions
Hey Guys
I've been lurking around these forums and wiki for a while now, and I have decided that this is something I want to do (The magnetic Implant)
I don't think anyone in my area can/does do it; I am still looking, but I might just do it myself.
I'm still just wondering about coatings though. I want to get an Implant that will last me a considerable amount of time, and while I read that gold or parylene can only last for a year or so. Has anyone had any experience with having them in for longer? I was also thinking about TiN coating, but I can't find anywhere to get them at the moment, and it doesn't seem like something I could do myself.
Any advise in this area? Is it worth getting a temporary gold/parylene one?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

This might provide some useful insight :) though it's not a completely comprehensive list.
@ironcake a year is a long time. Hmm... if you have patence, and things go well, expect TiN to be available in what... 6 weeks maybe from cyberize? Don't quote me, but I think this is correct. ^^
There is nothing 'wrong' with parylene, I personally wouldn't vy for it because... Well I'm super picky. x3 if you're wanting to experience short term, just don't try to keep it in if it starts falling apart.
And of course, all the threads and research. ^^
That said, I'd still recommend a TiN magnet over parylene if you're willing to wait. I have a couple m31s from DT, and for me it was nice knowing that those were designed and tested as implants.
Even if they feel perfectly okay, if you end up extracting them, please look at them really closely. Parylene magnets that have felt perfectly fine have been found corroding sometimes. Just in case you ever take them out just take a close look at them. ^^
But usually if they feel painless that means they're stable. I love data. ^^
