Feedback about 2.104 modes versus 2.09 modes
Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 5:28 pm
Hello !
I have just upgraded my 2B unit from 2.09 to 2.104 FW. I was eager to test the new FW and I reviewed all modes. I must say I was quite disappointed by the results because I could not get the same feelings I had before. So please let me share some feedback in order to see if I am doing something wrong or if I can help make our box even better than it is now Please note English is not my mother tongue.
Please consider this is not a review of one FW or the other, this is a comparison between 2 FW, and more specifically how it felt before and feels now for the same person using the same configuration. I hope this will be helpful as it took quite some time to write it
Both experiments (2.09 and 2.104) were done in 48h so that I can remember well how the old FW was performing, and with the exact same configuration (Stuffer on channel A, 2 loops on channel B), both with the mains adapter.
1) The output level seems to be much lower now on variable modes, same as before on continuous modes, with a huge gap between modes. For instance with 2.09 I was feeling channel A at 15% and I could not get past 19% on channel B. Now on mode like Pulse or Bounce I do not feel anything below 30% on channel A and get the first real stimulation around 50%, on channel B the feeling starts at 30% now. With a mode like Continuous, I have the same sensations as before with the same levels
2) A split and B split seems to have been interchanged (in 2.09, on A split he channel A is pulsing as intended, in 2.104 on A split the channel B is pulsing)
3) The pulses feel much more “spiky” with 2.104 (all modes were spike is adjustable): with 2.09 the standard spike level of 50 was perfect, now I must go very low between 10 and 20 to get the same feeling. I was never able to achieve the old, nice and pleasant “masturbation-like” feeling and I consider a hand-free orgasm is now totally unreachable, which is my main concern with 2.104
4) Throb and Thrust seem to be broken: they are now working like Continuous, whichever setting I try
5) Variable modes (Wave, Waterfall, Squeeze, Milk) are now less precise and distinct. With 2.09 they were clearly different and worked as intended. Now they seem to be more or less the same, with only slight variations hard to feel (or I have to get to extreme settings (low or high) to feel the difference)
As a conclusion, my concern is, with 2.09 I could really feel each mode and distinguish them with closed eyes. Now I must check on the unit that the intended mode is really running as I feel little to no difference between most of them, only Pulse and Bounce have kept their distinct feeling.
I would appreciate to see what other user are thinking and share feedbacks.
