some newbie questions

[aperture8]

first off, thanks for everybody here. man, if it werent for the internet:sm30

ok, so first off ive read about the tip of the penis getting really cold when in the traction device. does this mean im cutting off circulation? i really couldnt get it any looser without popping out, and i dont have it too stretched. it doesnt really bother me, i just get worried its not good for it.

secondly im kinda confused about the 600g, 900g, etc. do i have to adjust this and add pieces? how does it work exactly.

i guess thats it. thanks to all who respond

Hey man,
It seems as though you are one of a few that did not receive any instructions with the unit - I assume you are talking about the SG device? I received my SG device a few days ago and fortunately it came complete with the instructions.

In answer to your Qs - Yes, the head of the penis can turn cold with prolonged use of the system. The recommendation is to wear the device for a TOTAL number of hours per day and to take breaks as often as required to massage and restore circulation. The total number of hours varies as you progress - initially 3, then 6, then 9 etc etc.

The 600g - 900g etc, refers to the amount of pulling force exerted on the penis as in grams ie: 600g is a little over 1/2 kilo of pulling force. Again, as with hours, you must steadily progress and work your way to the higher forces ie: 1st few days @ 600g, then several days at 900 etc etc

Once the stretcher is set up to your "personal length" which as a guide, is 4cm LESS than your erect length, so you attach the extender to your penis and adjust the knurled screw system to apply the 600g of pressure, and progress as mentioned to 1200g. When the penis has been stretched at the 1200g for a few days and it does not feel the stretch anymore, then you insert a spacer and start all over again.

This is a quick overview of its use and I would highly recommend that you contact the supplier to request that correct instructions are supplied to you.

I have attached pics of the extender in action, it can be noticed that the knurled screw system has been wound out to apply the correct amount of force. The penis has been stretched to maximum erection length of 18cm with 600 grams of force working to extend this length even more. As the penis extends, so the force will lessen, eventually requiring the device to be screwed out to the next groove of 900grams and so on. When the last groove has been reached, it is time to add a spacer to the metal rods and start afresh.

hey,
I noticed from your picture that I am actually missing the white foam piece that covers the silicone "noose" which tightens the head to the device. Does anyone know where I can get one or who I should talk to about it? Is it dangerous to use the extender without this foam part?
Thanks,

[zoidberg]

the instruction manual reads that i must take a break every 2 hours while using the device. exactly how long a break should i take. right now, i usually take about 30-45 minute break.

you know, you don't have to use the white foam piece. actually, that white foam piece can be a real bitch. you can substitute the white foam piece with wrapping a bandage around the top of the shaft. thats what i do and it works just fine!

how can i adjust the knurled screw system to apply the 600g of pressure ?

i kept turning the screw but i dont know wheather i am at 600 g or 900 g !!

i saw a picture posted by big al but i didnt still confused !!

Hey dream,

on the main bars, there are 3? marks/lines etched into the metal. These denote each measured amount of force being exerted by the stretcher. The lowest or first mark is 600g as you wind out further and exert more force, the next mark becomes 900 g and so on.
You will feel the force increase as you screw it out further, if you dont apply some (a little)oil the the sliding bars, they may not slide easily so that you can see the amount of force provided.

Hope this helps

Daz

thanx my friend :) i will check it out

[zoidberg]

do you have to take a break from using the device every two hours? why not 3 or 4?

Hey mate,
It is not necessarily mandatory to take a break every 2 hours and as long as there is no discomfort, bluish tinge, coldness, then keep going. It is important to have a break to allow the tissues to relax. I would suggest that 3 - 4 hours would be maximum before taking a break regardless.

[zoidberg]

4 hours, eh? hey, thanx for the advice Daz!

[zoidberg]

actually yeah, that does sound right. when i first saw that, i was like "4 - 4 hours?" i completely understand now

I've been using the device for one and half months now and didn't even know about the knurled screw system. I got the instruction manual, but it doesn't say anything about this.Infact I found it so confusing to understand what 600g, 900g and 1200g force meant that I didn't care to read in this site about it.

Everyweek, after wearing the device for 10 hours daily, I add one axe/axis(or whatever). I press the device so that the screws get compressed before i fasten/or tie the cords.

I would appreciate if you can tell me about the knurled screw (at the bottom near the silicon material) I ofcourse see the three marks on the metal bar, but if I screw or unscrew the rod, those marks remain the same. In the pic that you attached, the shiny screw is not touching the silicon material; but is actually way up. I unscrewed it to resemble how it appears in the pic, but how should i know what force it stands for.


If you can tell me abou tthis, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Mara,

Please read this thread on the question of tension, then get back to me if you need to;)

Daz,

Thanks for the mail man.

I read the forum. I didn't want to be stupid, so I read the manual and saw the video that came along with it.

But I really can't be that stupid. They don't mention in the manual how to assemble the system. Depending on the number shown on the parts in the diagram in the manual , I assembled it. The video doesn't even utter the word 600g etc by mistake. And I don't know what to do.

Those marks' position don't change when I screw or unscrew and that's because those marks are part of the rod itself. Either I've assembled it wrong or I'm plain dumb.

Daz, help me. I've already wasted 1 month I think using this incorrectly.

Will appreciate your help

[Dazzlingdaz3]

hey mate,
As i said, dont get hung up on this detail ;)

When you match and then surpass your BPEL in the way the device is set up, you will more than likely see the bars move and the measurement of force indicated on the notches. The notch furthest away from you pubic bone is 600g and closest to your pubic bone is 1200g.

Just go with the directions that you have and you cannot go wrong. If you feel that you are not being stretched enough, then add an axes or 2 but dont overdo the stretch, slow and steady wins the race;)

Cheers
Daz
