I thought i would share my experiences, how I use it, and some feedback as well.
First of all, I'm a guy, so primarily the use of the remote is with an anal electrode (usually the moaner), although my other use is occasionally pads on the ball sack (with a non-lube condom over them to help keep everything in place).
I would also say the remote unit is much more useful / versatile than the 2b, especially in the bdsm end of things, which is where i do like to play.
The Goods;
- - the unit is plenty powerful by itself, it can push lots of good shocks.
- - portability
- - ability for someone else to hold your remote. training mode red button still terrifies me.
use cases;
- -tease and torment are my general modes for just wearing the device out and about. They are good amount of sensation, and can easily be controlled / adjusted with the remote.
- -motion. I have a hang point in the bedroom. sometimes i will find myself hanging from it with a spreader bar on the feet, on tippy toes, and the estim box is attached to a waistband set on motion mode. It gets really really hard to stay still in that situation.
- -microphone. I just recently played with this one. while spanking (paddling actually), i set the box to sound, and attached to balls. this resulted in a lovely stim smack to the balls along with every slap of the paddle to the ass. Brilliant.
the bad / annoying;
- - pressing the two buttons on the remote just right to get it into mode switching mode is... hard. i usually have to try three or four times to get it just right. Obviously that's not something easily fixed without a re-design, so probably just have to live with that for now.
- - changing modes in general, or feedback of what the device is doing, requires visibility on the LED's, and obviously visibility of the device itself. Again this is inherent of the device - remote design, so without additional dev into something like Bluetooth or wifi control, it is what it is.
- - portability. While this unit IS portable, it's still quite chonky when it comes to wearing it discretely. I am strongly considering taking it apart / out of case, and seeing if i can design a 3d-print case for it which is as small as possible, and has some rounded edges. Ideally i would love something like a wild elastic belt strap which could be worn under clothes which would hold this unit in the small of the back, and the case needs to be a smaller / anatomical shape to really do that comfortably..
- - microphone. not sure where it's located. I dont see an obvious hole for it. When i was trying to setup the spanking scene described above, i found i had to open the battery door and place it facedown on the floor. This picked up the sound quite well, but prior to doing that it wasn't working well.
future dev / next version thoughts;
wishlist; (everyone wants everything.. lol )
- -two channel would be cool but obviously changes a lot of elements especially when it comes to power.
- - audio input jack for stero stim like the 2B ?
- -remote with feedback, or mobile app support of some variety via bluetooth or wifi. Basically the ability to wire up the sub, turn on the unit, and never have to look at it again. Dom should be able to adjust power levels and modes, and know what mode is what.
- -short of interactive feedback.. perhaps a happy middle ground could be found with a couple more buttons on the remote. a dedicated mode change button. and when cycling through modes, dont loop. so blind. you could mode change. left a bunch of times to get to the start, then count x number of times right to find the correct mode. or if the remote could have a couple "favorite" buttons, which could then be associated with a couple different modes. so associate 'training' with favorite 1, and torment with favorite 2, and then when out in public, those could be used to change modes on the fly.. you could add an F1, F2 button on the device directly to save the current mode and setting into F1 / F2, so the remote only has to send the 'F1/F2' code (no smarts on the remote)
- -ability to toggle the LEDs off on the main unit. this is just discretion when being worn, having lights blinking through shirt not good..
