E-stim Wartenberg Pinwheel

A deviation from the normal Violet Wand obsession here to talk about the latest fun acquisition to my toybox.

Combining a pinwheel with e-stim is something I’ve wanted to try since I first saw one.
So, I got one. The first thing that escaped my lips when trying it out was “wow”. This shit is intense.

As the pinwheel rolls across the skin you can feel each point on the surface tingling with very little pressure at all, it’s more intensely sensual than a “normal” pinwheel.
As the intensity increases, acupuncture points start to become places that rolling the pinwheel causes tingling to shoot through your muscles.

Pinwheels are becoming an incredibly versatile tool in my “BDSM arsenal”. Used alone, they can be anywhere from light and tickly to intense, blood drawing instruments of fear; with a Violet Wand they become a hot, sharp knife drawing across the skin; and now, with an e-stim they become intense, sensual and “wow”.

Uranium Violet Wand Electrodes

So, I now have a beautiful uranium electrode which will be making its way to me sometime in the near future!

To help you share in my excitement why not enjoy these gorgeous photos of one of the new uranium electrodes, taken by SirHoustonDom.

These unique electrodes are only available from violet-wands.com, so if you fancy owning one of your own head on over!

Worth considering: unless you’re very lucky and manage to catch them before the endcaps are bonded these will probably come in 11.1mm (US standard) rather than 11mm (EU standard), so make sure you’ve got a wand that can handle that (or just keep it as a collectors piece).

30 Violet Wand Safety Tips

Queer as Folk Violet Wand

Wikipedia told me that the Violet Wand was used in Queer as Folk (Season 2 Episode 11) so I set out to get some screencaps.

Success!

In this example, it’s being used to give the impression of a wild sex party; quite successfully!

Anger Management Violet Wand

So, until now it’s been difficult to get screencaps of the Violet Wand used in Anger Management; here you go!

Length of spark… greatly exaggerated but at least it puts to rest that age old question; can I use a Violet Wand while I brush my teeth?

You can also view the full clip here, enjoy!

Review – Body Contact Cable

A while back I got my body contact cable from DrClockwork.
I did get hit by customs tax on the way in, but that fortunately wasn’t too bad a sting.

Onto the product itself; by standard these are made with a brass handle, but brass contains copper and some people have copper allergies.
I got mine custom made with a medical grade stainless steel handle, which isn’t as conductive as brass but does the job perfectly as far as I’m concerned!

DrClockwork himself was absolutely fantastic, helping every step of the way and figuring out a way we could ship the item (reasonably) from the States.

The cable is double gapped (there is a spark gap in two seperate places of about 1/4 inch) which does mean that you have to turn the wand up a bit more to get the same kick as you would with a traditional saturation probe, but for the peace of mind of not worrying about squeezing too hard and ending up with glass shards stuck in you – worth every penny!

The cabling itself is made of 50kV insulated silicone – which is super flexible and is really nice. You will get absolutely zero cable bleed with this unless you physically damage the cable.

Recommended? Yes! It fits easily into your existing Violet Wand collection, it’s hard wearing, hard working (allows both reverse and secondary contact techniques) and takes a weight off your mind with regards to glassware!

Everyone with a Violet Wand should consider adding one to their collection.

Helio-Lux replacement faceplate

So, I’ve had the Helio-Lux kicking around in my “fix-it” box for a while now and things are finally starting to come together.

It’s a scarlet macaw faceplate, because why not? It’s something different and unique and will make for a talking point, and an awesomely personalized wand!

I’ll post some before and after shots if there’s any demand for it, let me know! 🙂

Do you have a Violet Wand? Does your collection of electrodes contain at least this 3?

Which 3 electrodes would you class as “essential” for your kit?

Ebay Highlights 01/03/2013

The first two ebay highlights look to be in good condition and working order, and will probably be a fairly safe investment in terms of reliability and quality.

A red faced Helios unit, in pretty good nick with a really interesting marbled case lining.

A white faced Helios unit, also in what appears to be really good nick.

These were manufactured more recently, so you’re not getting the same level of “history” as you do with some vintage devices.

If it’s history you’re after – this VITAEFONS is more at home in a museum than in a living room.

That’s all for just now!

Helio-Lux 54075

Finally got the faceplate off my Helio-Lux and passed it along to my artist friend to make a new (but much more attractive) plate for it.

I’m looking forward to the final results 😀
