As for the lubrication and solid fitment, it does matter. If the attachments are loose in contact with your skin, or your skin is dry, its a painful burning sensation. Not the good pain. When it does pass through your body, it feels almost like your muscles are vibrating at a high frequency. You can vary the frequency, strength, and pulse length depending on the box you purchase. Its definitely something you have to experiment with to find what works for you. If you got a battery powered box, you can probably turn it to 10 and it wont be enough. With the wall-socket adapter I cant go over 6
Never pass electricity across your chest, a.k.a. across your heart.
Thanks for your input!! I wouldn't be at all surprised if I'm like you and find myself wanting more. I tend to enjoy being overstimulated.
Use Electro Gel - similar what hospitals use for electrode placement.
Here's a link. Get a small bottle for experimentation.

I will invest in a bottle then!
Just make sure if you use home made electrodes such as copper wire, that it has good contact with your skin. If you purchase contact pads, this isn't as much as a worry.

I totally intend to stick with buying pads. I really don't know enough about this stuff to trust myself fucking around with it.
Also Check out http://www.happystim-usa.com/id57.html for more electrodes, wires, and accessories. Awesome person to buy from - no worries!
'Tis bookmarked for future use. Thank you!
It is - but a very low wattage stereo, such as 2-3 watts and using a radio shack transformer to get the voltage where it needs to be.
For others reading this... DO NOT ...Repeat...DO NOT USE A HOME STEREO WITH HIGH WATTAGE!!! Doing so could lead to a very quick death.
There's wiring involved - you don't just hook the wires up to your body.
StereoStim is for the Do it yourself hobbyists that don't want to spend a ton on a TENS unit. Check the website and you'll see different peoples home made amplifiers.
But...there are good affordable units out there now, for around $100.
Seriously, this stuff sounds scary to me! Probably comes from not knowing anything about electrical wiring. RawDog may be able to tackle it though.
Steer clear of the Zeus power boxes you see. I've read that they're not all that grand.
If I had to recommend this to a close friend, or family member, I would tell them to avoid any plug in style box and stick with the battery powered tens units just for safety.
Maybe I should have posted this thread BEFORE I went shopping - I am now (or will be soon) the owner of a ZEUS power box!!! Never mind. Even if it's crap, it should be enough for me to figure out if I like the sensations. I can always upgrade if it isn't doing the job satisfactorily.
In a nutshell, StereoStim is a collection of user built audio files specifically designed for different sensations. There are some that make it feel like your getting jacked off...and for the ladies, some that feel like your getting eaten out. Thousands of different files are out there, but I strongly suggest trying files on a low setting to make sure there aren't any suprises. An amp turn on thump, or pop is particularly painful as it's a voltage spike. That's why its always good to have things set before you begin.
StereoStim users commonly use a free application with the files for playback using their computer sound card. This allows you to make adjustments to the audio files, as well as intensity levels, speed, etc. You can share files with others, or do group e-stim sessions with others online. (Dont know if I would do that though)
Now I'm seeing the appeal in it!!! That sounds like so much fun!
I think it might be a little bit different for everybody. With my very cheap stereostim amp I built, it feels like a deep orgasm that travels from the tip of my cock, down my shaft, fills my balls, and then radiates in my rectum.
That's with one electrode on my glans, and one flexible conductive rubber hoop in the anus/rectum. For the ladies, I would definitely recommend the patches as you can affix them where you want them and leave things hands free.
*shivers* I'm liking the sound of this :biggrin1:. I do hope it will live up to my expectations!
One other piece of advice - try to keep your connectors common if you can. Once you dig into it, you'll notice that there are various styles of connectors, so you may have to do some cut and splice to save some cost.
Use the Estim forum I gave you for a reference....there's a ton of good information in there.
I'm going to have a proper read of everything again once I've had a chance to play. I think I'll have a better idea of what I'm talking about then. I'm not too worried about saving money at the moment. If I develop a psychological addiction to it, I'll start worrying then!
Let us know with some photos of your stuff. Would be cool to see what you ended up getting.
As both you and ML have asked:

sextek.com informative FAQs
This bit seemed a little concerning:
"Limit initial sessions to less than 30 minutes. Longer or more intense sessions can produce a harmless but sometimes undesirable "lingering tingling" sensation that can last as long as 24 hours, whereby the genitals remain at a heightened state of arousal. Just (try to) go slowly, especially when incorporating new electrodes into your setup."
Seriously, I'm at a heightened state of arousal already - I don't want it getting any worse!
blowfish.com each of their e-stim toys gets a description of function and play.
Totally loving this part:
"The sensations are amazing, if a bit hard to describe; "being fucked by a ghost" is one thing we've heard it called."
Sounds rather enjoyable :biggrin1:.
All the other info was interesting too. Really, really distracted by the 'fucked by a ghost' thing :biggrin1:.
babeland.com awesome how to section
They seem to have a how to for everything! Brilliant link.
is there a link ya can post to something close your model?
Linked above.
OHOH, PM Mr. Psidom! he's a gear head, he'll be able to 101 ya.
PMing strangers makes me nervous :redface:, but I'll keep it in mind.
I just wanted to thank subgirrl from the bottom of my heart for starting this thread. You (and all the contributors here) have resuscitated my interest in this field. (puns intended, but sincere)
You're welcome. Maybe a bit of research will reassure MrsR that it's safe and desirable?
Big thanks to all contributors from me too! What would I do without LPSG?
i keep waiting for Ms. Dolfette and her cunt electrodes to show up.
*checks watch*
It's because of her cunt electrodes that I'm buying this stuff!
