High Tension Extenders

So what is the story behind these extenders such as the frankenstender that you can get up to 40 LB in tension.

Pros? Cons?

I have the apex on order, going to see if I can replace hanging using it

I just did the same today.

I bought the apex too

What is this apex extender. Full name?

MASSIVE NOVELTIES The APEX Xtender

That’s a really nice looking extender - especially the the large base surface area.

That might be next in line after fulcrum vac hanging.

I agree. That base design seems pretty nice.

Anymore insight into this topic?

I think I seen this post awhile back and thought it could be a good idea to get hanging results using an extender. One of the benefits is only having the to wear the device for shorter periods.

I ended buying an apex extender using their vac cup on their site as well as totalman silicone sleeves. I’ve been at it a month and just starting logging this week. The first month I was acclimating to it. I have the clip on pounds of pressure markers so I can see about how much lbs I am stretching at. I started at 3lbs for two 20minute sessions. I changed angles through out. Mostly straight down, then straight up and then straight out. I did the straight out to kind of find a good consistent way to measure and log. I don’t measure bone pressed. I measure from the top of the base of the device where the rod comes out. It’s an easy repeatable spot I can measure from while in the extender.

I was at 6 5/8” maybe a week ago. Yesterday I was at 7”. I am not adding in the 5/8” that the base height is taking up, because I am trying to get a good idea of length I can actually see, not the 1” I lose in the fat pad. I have worked up to 5lbs and wear the device for 1hr daily. I plan on staying at this weight and only slightly increasing time for as long as I see any measureable gains. I am not sure if i have actually gained 3/8” yet. That can be a lot of variables. I do notice a longer looking erection. I think I’m just tapping into my pre-existing potential. My EQ has been better. The night erections are helping me heal in an elongated state.

Anyway, I hope to have a good week getting a minimum of 1hr, but if time allows, am trying to work up to 1.25-1.5hrs daily, 5 days a week. Maybe shorter sessions on my days off just to get a quick stretch. If my EQ is negatively affected, then I won’t do that. I will keep measuring.

I made my own extender specifically for that reason on wanting higher tension. I don’t have the time or privacy to wear an extender for long periods of time. So currently in my homemade one which is essentially X2 M5 threaded rods with a 3d printed base and saddle, I wear for 1hr at a time 2-4x a week. I also wrap a standard heat mat around my shaft while extending and every 10min or so I increase the tension. It definitely feels effective, but time will tell. Only downside to my design is that I have no means of knowing the tension. I just go on feel to be honest. After the 1hr in the extender , I normally go into a pump for 20-30min . Not sure if that will negatively affect length gains

I bought the apex as well but I’m not sure how to use it accurately

I don’t have the apex extender but see some issues with it. The base with it being open on one end makes it difficult to switch from pointing up to pointing down especially if you have high tension because it can painfully force the base of your penis out of the open ring. The threaded rod, the edge of the threads can cut/tear unprotected skin and the mounting of the fulcrum on the sides if it comes loose can puncture the pelvic region or pinch skin. There are more issues aside from using screen door hardware (same as the LG Hanger extender) and over charging for common hardware and poor design.

I have the apex. For me, it has been pretty easy. But mostly because I haven’t really been pushing lots of weight yet. I think I’ve maxed at 7lbs according to the little tension gauge. As for the open base, I haven’t ran into too many issues. I like it because you can go behind your balls for straight down movements and have a more direct stretch. I can’t just change positions as easily, but with my routine, when it’s time to change positions, that’s usually a good time to take a break and let some blood flow to the head. I recently got lazy and was only doing SO for a week. Because that’s where I do my measurement for the day. I noticed I wasn’t reaching any more gains or hitting my max stretch. So I had to go back to SU (light warm up 3lbs) SD (moderate tension 5-6lbs) and SO( where I try to max and get my daily max stretch measurement - 7lbs)

It’s been a little more than 2 months. When I started, I was just acclimating to it for a few weeks. Increasing time and tension. Then i started a more programmed approach and logging. When I did that I was hitting around 6 5/8 - 6 3/4” stretched visible length which for me was the top of the base of the extender to the highest point of the tip. Today I can reach 7 1/4” after about 5 weeks of getting serious with it. My NBPEL is now 6 1/4” whereas before it was barely sub 6” depending on EQ. Today it can range from 6-6 1-4” as well depending on EQ. I’m working on that.

Hope this helps.
