The ElectraStim Flick Duo

Construction

The Flick Duo is one of the smallest e-stim power boxes out there. It measures 96x57x16mm. The case is made out of a high quality polymer. The bottom is black with a satinlike feeling while the control panel has a grainy texture and is surrounded by a little bit raised silver frame. The top half of the control panel is symmetrically laid out: There are raised buttons soft buttons with a nice pressure point labeled plus and minus to control the intensity of the two channels. The current selected intensity can be seen on a digital display above the controls. Below the controls are orange LEDs which are on when the channel is firing. Between the two channel controls are four green and one red LED which display the intensity of the kinetic recognized by the power box.  Below this scale there is a digital display which indicates which program is currently selected. The lower half of the control panel has two buttons. The upper one is for cycling through the programs. When the green LED left to it is on you are cycling through the 8 regular programs. When you hold the program selection button for approx. 5 seconds the right LEDs goes on which means you can now cycle through the 4 flick programs. When changing modes please keep in mind that holding down the button will cycle one program further in normal mode until the mode change takes place. The lowest button is the power bottom. Next to it is a red LED which comes on when the battery level is low.

Detail of the Two 2mm Sockets

There are only three sockets on this power box: Two 2mm output sockets for the two channels and a Mini-USB socket at the bottom. If you want to use 3.5mm plug leads ElectraStim offers adaptors for 12€.

The small form factor is partly due to the build in battery which lasts between 4 and 6 hour of play depending on the intensity. This feature was heavily discussed among my testees. Personally I prefer power boxes which uses 9V block batteries (also known as PP3). I usually carry around a bunch of them at an even so when one gets empty I can replace them easily or take a battery out of another box. For the Flick Duo I theoretically have to carry a power bank. But the small form factor was really appreciated by some testees (especially the ones who are not like me and travel with a ton of electrodes) saying it is a very discreet power box which can easily be stored away during public play for example. Once the Flick Duo ran out of power you can use the provided Mini-USB cable to charge it which takes approx. 3h.

The Flick Duo comes in a nice black box along with a detailed manual, two leads, four pad electrodes, a Mini USB charging cable and a drawsting storage bag (For detailed pictures take a look at my unboxing).

Playing with the Flick Duo Power Box

In order to get the box ready to play simply push the power bottom. The box will go through a little self test and then you are ready to play. The box will always start in the first program and with both channels turned down.

Program Number Program Name Sensation
1 Continuous Permanent stimulation from both channels
2 Alternating waves Perpendicularly raising and falling sensation on both channels
3 Escalating Simultaneous Wave Raising and falling sensation on both channels with first increasing and than decreasing speed
4 Alternating Pulse A short burst alternating between the channels
5 Escalating Simultaneous Pulse A pulse on both channels which increases in speed
6 Simultaneous Falling Rest A pulse on both channels with the time between two pulses getting shorter until the stimulation is permanent
7 Alternating Dual Pulses Pulses first slowly alternating between the two channels, than quickly before starting over
8 Rapid Fire Escalation Alternating between both channels the number of pulses increases by one each time until 19 pluses are reached and then starting over again

After pressing the program selection button for 5 seconds you switch into Flick mode which offers you four programs.

Program Number Effect
1 Left output is Flick sensible, the right is permanently on
2 Right output is Flick sensible, the left is permanently on
3 Both channels are flick sensitive
4 One channel is only active. After a certain amount of sensation has been induced on one channel, the other becomes active.

The ElectraStim Flick Duo turned on in normal mode

In Flick mode the box will fire when exposed to up-and-down motion. I would describe the sensitivity as medium. I attached the Flick Duo to my wrist when jerking off and REALLY had to beat the meat in order to feel something. Generally speaking you really have to concentrate in which way to move the box in which intensity to get the desired effect which at least in my case took way too much mental effort to jerk off properly. So instead of a self pleasure enhancer the Flick Duo is a sophisticated pain play tool. Attaching it to the top’s wrist (and the leads along the body which enough slack for him to move around!) when flogging or spanking adds a new dimension and range of sensation to impact play. The Flick mode can also be used a bit like the audio input on other boxes: But instead of putting the mic in front of the sub’s mouth so he has to control himself in order to make the stimulation stop with the Flick Duo the sub has to be tied standing up with the above his head and some degree of being able to move his feet to “work” sensations out. Now hang the Flick Duo from his balls and attach electrodes either to his junk or if you are really evil use pad electrodes on the soles’ of his feet. Kick the dangling box to get it started and watch him jump around trying to cope with the stimulation which inevitably creates more stimulation.

Conclusion: Small e-stim power box with movement triggered stimulation feature.

Prestige ElectraLoops

The ElectraStim Prestige ElectraLoops

Construction

The design of the Prestige ElectraLoops is a premium approach towards one of the most essential e-stim toys: The conductive rubber loops. One of the drawbacks of the more basic loops is that the lead’s plug is put directly into the tube. This is not only a bit tricky especially with lubey fingers but if you weren’t careful enough the rubber could tear forcing you to shorten the loop. ElectraStim addressed this issue by attaching extra thick 6.5mm conductive tube to a chocker. The choker is made out of aluminum and comes in classic silver, vibrant cherry red and posh gold. On one side of the choker there is a metal socket for 2mm pin plugs to connect the electrode to your e-stim box. On the other side there is a hole through which the tube runs in order to adjust the length. The usable length of the tube is 21cm. The loose end is close with an aluminum plug in the same color as the choker which prevents the loop to be pulled through the choker. This does not only add a nice bit of color but is a nifty safety feature because it effectively prevents attaching both lead plugs to one monopolar electrode which would short-circuit your powerbox.

The ElectraStim Prestige ElectraLoops are sold in pairs.

Playing with the Prestige ElectraLoop

I consider this toy THE E-Stim essential. If you buy one pair of electrodes for your box, make it this because it is so versatile. The probably most often used play scenario for this toy is CBT: Put a ball stretcher on, lay one loop around the penis root and the other one around the stretched balls and try some different programs. With some training most men can even turn their box with these electrodes into a milker. For this stimulation put one loop either around the penis root or on the bottom of the shaft and the other one right below the glans and select the stroke program. If you do this on a regular basis your dick will most likely learn to reach an orgasm from the currency induced nerve irritation on the frenulum. For faster trainings results I would recommend adding some form of anal set up which stimulates the prostate in the same pattern. But always keep in mind to not overdo the stimulation because especially with electro the nerves of your genitals are easily overwrought. So the stimulation might have a nice torture aspect getting your endorphins flowing but won’t make you come.

Detail of the Aluminum Choker

When playing on the penis I would always recommend putting a TPR stretcher on – like one of the many stretchers and cockrings from Oxballs – because there are easy to handle, are not conducting and will keep the electrodes from touching and thus from short-circuiting. Due to the smooth round edges and since no springs are used to hold the loop in place to risk of catching hair or pinching skin when tightening the loops has been massively reduced. However the design has a bit of a drawback. Especially when you want to put one loop around the base of a big wick with massive and/or stretched balls being able to pull the loose end out of the choker to wrap it around the junk would be great.

But this toy is not limited to CBT. When wearing an isolating glove use the pair as a skin electrode and caress the sub’s skin with it. You can even make an anal electrode out of the pair: Either put one of them into your ass and the other somewhere onto your skin below the waist or put an isolating layer between them – for example a piece of freezer bag which is large enough to keep the electrodes separate even when the electrodes shift a bit – and shove both up your butt in order to create a bi-pole.

Maintenance wise this toy is very easy to handle: After having played with it, just wash it in hot water with a bit of detergent in it. Once it’s dried spray or wipe it with a disinfectant. This is especially important when you have used it below your glans because even unnoticed drops of precum can transmit STDs!

Another important play and maintenance aspect to keep in mind is the lube: since the loops are made out of silicone, never use silicone lube on it. On the one hand silicone lube doesn’t conduct currency and on the other hand silicone lube will destroy the silicone of the loops.

Conclusion: Premium version of an e-stim essential.

ElectraStim Flick Duo Unboxing

In just a few weeks the Third Annual E-Stim Special will start on ToyTorture.com. For a couple of weeks it will be all about E-Stim on this website. So one after the other I am slowly getting the toys which I than will be reviewing. ElectraStim is one of the major manufacturers of E-Stim toys and thus I have gotten a lot of questions which of their power box I would recommend. Thus I was very happy when they sent me their Flick Duo along with two electrodes earlier this weekend to put them through my hard testing routine.

The toy comes in a black, sturdy 147x87x90mm cardboard box with the ElectraStim logo embossed in silver. It is wrapped in a trade outer packaging which shows a picture of the box and explains its main features.

Directly below the lid the Flick Duo is housed in a velvety covered tray. The power box features soft-touch push buttons which are symmetrically laid out: In the center there are the power and the mode selection button with the mode number indicator above. On the left and on the right are the intensity controls for the two independent channels. At the top there are two sockets for the two channels, on the bottom there is the Mini USB charging socket.

The Flick Duo comes with a manual in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian. It explains the basis of e-stim, how to operate the box, walks you through the 8 programs and 4 flick modi and gives good advice on how to use the electrodes which come with the box. With the manual comes a little card. On one side they advertise for their Jack Socket e-stim enhanced masturbator, on the other side it is described how you can qualify for an additional year of warranty.

Next inside the box there is a small black drawstring back with a silver ElectraStim logo printed on it. It is large enough to hold the Flick Duo, two leads and a pair of conductive loops and some pad electrodes.

Next are the hardware essentials: A Mini USB cable for charging and two 2mm plug to bipolar 2mm pin leads.

Last but not least the Flick Duo comes with four self-adhesive pad electrodes. They are good for a first glance into the e-stim world and allow for out of the box fun.

I am very much looking forward to test this little beast and am especially excited which means things I will be able to do with the flick feature .
