We at Torchlit Studios are proud to announce that after many long nights working on this project we can now offer our first bio-hacking product!  Its not anything new to the scene but by working with a large NFC tag manufacturer we are able to offer Pre-loaded and sterilized Ntag216 glass tags  at a significant saving over other producers. 

As a bonus Just for Biohack.me members We also have a special Promo Code as a thank you for all of the great information and resources you all provide to the Bio-hacking community. 

Enter Promo Code BIOHACK.ME  at check out and the $10 off your order!

These tags are available in the TorchlitStudios.com web store at this link: http://torchlitstudios.com/?product=ntag-216-pre-loaded-injector

All proceeds from the sale of this product got towards R&D and production of additional Bio-hacking products and resources. 

I also have several tags reserved for anyone willing to run test and publish test results, write a review of the tag, or promote the tags in some way.  please message me if you would like to receive a unit for testing or promotional purposes.

   Yes this is the regular price and permanent promo code for the biohack.me community. The only reason the price will change will be to lower the price as we are able to build them in larger quantities. 

   
   

   it is my hope that we will be able to bring the price down some around late May as I am working with Hack Miami on setting up a big Bio-hacking exhibit at their annual convention and if sales go well at the convention then I will be able to build in much larger quantity.

   reading distance 1-2cm with a common NFC smart phone

   
   

   This reading distance is assured with the chip inside the body? If yes, wow, you got a very nice tag. My current implanted tag has a short reading range and I really have to press my smartphone in my hand to get it read. Very interested in your product, think I'll order one soon.

   I have found where you implant it effects the usability of the tag a bit. if you follow the youtube implant procedure and put it straight in the middle of the skin between the finger and the thumb it makes it difficult to use but if you implant it parallel to the index finger it make it a lot easier to use.  but you should be able to read the tag easily by tapping the phone lightly to your hand. kinda depends on the phone I can read slightly hovered above my hand but not much.
