Quick Extender Pro Question

As I mentioned before, I am a grower, therefore what you are suggesting above does not work for me. And, honestly, it is my one disappointment with PE…even though I have increased my BPEL by almost 2”, I have not had any significant increase in my flaccid length. For me, there is a significant difference (about 1” / 25mm) between my initial flaccid streched length (how far I could manually stretch my penis before any extending) and my maximum flaccid streched length (the point at which my penis will no longer stretch after being under tension for a period of time). I would compare it to stretching before excercising or playing sports…it takes a little time to fully stretch out your muscles/ligaments. This was one of my major issues when I first started using my QEP. Now I suppose I could spend 30+ minutes doing manual stretching…but I’m too lazy to do that. ;-)

The device is ‘well-made’ to a fashion, however its hardly a piece of quality Swiss or German engineering. I’ve used the device for a few months and already the springs seem quite weak. When you press the device in to ‘fit’ to the device it doesn’t always compress evenly. The tension bars arn’t the best quality. I mean as far as extenders go its ok, but theres no way I’m trusting my dick with compressed/tensioned springs that could could break and shock open at any point on my penis. Absolutely no way. I have read other threads on here where people have changed/replaced the springs. They have a history of breaking or at least getting worn out.


OK, I understand what you are saying now, BUT (and I don’t mean this in a condecending way), you are wrong. There is no way for the QEP to ‘shock’ open, I have completely disassembled my QEP to understand exactly how it works, and what you are saying is mechanically impossible for the QEP. The springs only create tension when they are compressed, if the springs were to break they would be incapable of being compressed and would, in fact, do the exact opposite of what you are saying.

Keep in mind that I do not extened every day and I have also taken a couple of extended breaks. For the first two months I did just over 200 hours of extending, but for the remainder of the year I averaged about 46 hours a month.

During this time I like to just stretch the penis a bit and get semi-erect, to get some blood back into it. I then way to go back to a flacid state and lock back in again. The hardest thing about the device is changing between standing and sitting positions. It can come off which requires getting strapped in again. I also find it very difficult to ‘strap’ into the device in a sitting position. Can you manage that?


My biggest problem with the QEP was the extreme irritation to my corona. My solution for that was to use a silicone sleeve instead of the foam (dis)comfort pads. Another benefit to the silicone sleeve is that it allowed my to be securely strapped into the glans support BUT it did not cut off the blood flow to my glans. I was able to wear my QEP for 2 hours without my glans getting cold/numb. I imagine trying to get strapped in while sitting would be very difficult because when you sit, your penis is actually pulled into your body a bit. I always get strapped into my QEP while standing.

However I wear mind when a small number of people are around (office) so its not been practical for me right now to do so.


Where did you get the heating pad from?

I think I understand what you are getting at now. Are you basically saying that you can stretch out and get into the extender, but after a short period of time, you need to increase the length of the extender as your stretch length has increased. Sort of like ‘warming up’? After doing a warm up and pushing further, your stretch length increases more. As you are ‘locked out’ on the extender, like I use it now, you would actually need to take the device off and add more tension bars to increase the length to get a full stretch? So if you planned to use it for 3 hours as an example on a given day, it would mean taking the device off and stripping it down and adding more tension bars and then having to reassemble again? As you use it under tension, you can slowly decrease the tension of the springs to provide more length without taking it off?

If that is the case, I wouldn’t mind getting into your position as it shows the device is really working for you. I would like to know what your FSL is if you don’t mind, and how it compares to your BPEL as mind are pretty even at the moment.I’m interested to see which will increase first? From what I’ve read on here, it will probably be FSL before the BPEL catches up.

You are not being condescending. I’m happy to have a discussion with anyone who has different views providing its always respectful. As my confidence grows using the device I will actually give it a go your way. I guess as my FSL increases it will be worth experimenting in the way you are using it. I will of course share my feedback on Thunders and let everyone know how it goes as I plan on using this device for the whole year, providing I’m making improvements.

I’ve tried not to push over 1 hour to be honest just to keep things safe. I find after 1 hour a ‘reset’ is required. The furthest I’ve gone is about 90 minutes. Where did you get the silicone sleeve from? I’ve had a few in the past but I find it hard to get one to fit correctly as there is so much variance with my FEG they seem to be either too tight or too loose. I would be interest to give this a go. The only pain I’ve really had is just from nipping the skin when fitting the device. Are you cut? I am not sure if this makes a difference but I assure my foreskin always covers the head when using it and never seem to get any issues. As I progress in stretching this might become more a problem.

I got one from the TotalMan website and I would highly recommend it. If you private when using the device, then defiantly add a heatpad. I am certain it creates a better stretch and because the penis is heated you don’t really get that cold head that I’ve experienced. There are obviously good threads on using heat/IR/wave-machines on this forum from more experienced members and somewhat promising research (although limited) on IR and cell activity/repair.

I only use the Totalman one as until the other day, it was the only IR heat pad with PE in mind. Another thread popped up saying ‘jelq2grow’ created one which I’m willing to just buy and test but I’m trying to find out from another user if it’s just a rebranded Totalman one from the same Chinese supplier or completely different.

Did you get any increase in MEG from using the extender for 2 years as it sounds like its the only form of PE you have undertaken. According to the QEP website Girth will grow as well. I’ve looked at a lot of Thunders threads and there has mainly been members quoting little or no growth from extension work, with the odd person reporting some decent Girth growth. As you have a history with using the device it would be good to know.

Yes, this is correct

When you press down on the tension rods and compress the springs, they naturally want to push back up. If you are strapped in to the extender while the tension rods/springs are compressed (you are pushing down on them), when you release the tension rods (no longer pushing down on them), the springs want to push back up. This is what stretches your penis. The springs create the tension that stretches your penis, but the springs can only create tension on your penis when they are compressed. So you always want to have the springs compressed, even if it’s just a small amount.

So for me, when I am extending, as my penis stretches out, the springs decompress which reduces the tension. Increasing the length of the tension rods by turning the knurled nuts at the bottom of the tension rods causes the springs to compress which increases the tension on my penis and stretching it out more.

My max FSL (after extending) has always been about 1/2” (13mm) longer than my BPEL.

I purchased my silicone sleeve from eBay. Having my skin get pinched by the strap/tubing is another reason I went with using a silicone sleeve. I am cut, but I don’t know if this makes a difference or not.

Thanks, I will be looking into getting one!

Yes, my girth has increased from 5.1” (13cm) to 5.75” (14.6cm)

All sounds promising and thanks for the information. I will continue to use mine and take a measurement every month. I am racking up around 3 hours a day, 7 days a week on average, so 21hours a week and 91 hours a month, give or take.

I plan on starting a thread on Thunders and will keep people updated. I am willing to get 1000hours out of it this year provided I continue to see results. BPEL and NBPEL is what I’m most interested in.

I still have the results from my 100 sessions/days of the newbie routine to post first which I will get round to posting hopefully within the next month.

Please keep us posted with your progress as well and let me know how you get on with the heatpad.

Tips needed to tackle some of the discomforts with QEP

Hello everyone,
I’ve been using the QEP for a few weeks now and have crossed the adaptation period. I simply followed their DVD instructions on how to choose the size and their methods to wear it, basically just as the manufacturer’s instructions, and no modifications from my end when I started. Later, I did some minor changes to it which I’ll cover in a bit.

I did some research that’s when I saw forums like these where senior people have shared their success stories and information on how they reached it. That’s when I happened to find some things which I request for your help to get some clarity:

1) I chose the size of the extension rods simply as told by the manufacturer’s instructions (flaccid and erect length). Do we have to choose the extension rods based on BPEL or BPFL or some other measurements (I came across these terms very recently and never had a clue when I started my journey). Hence, I kindly request you to give some details about what criteria/measurements should I weigh with respect to QEP structure to choose to start and continue my extension routine.

2) I read posts from senior members like Cunny Linguist on how to modify the glans support and the discussion about the tension from compressed vs uncompressed springs.
I squeeze the QEP, mount my penis to the glans support and tighten the noose and release them to hear a locking/click sound from the rods. And, I accept the fact that fully uncompressed spring rods don’t give the expected results as there isn’t enough tension on the penis. Since I’m also a bit of a grower and a newbie to QEP, can you please give some detailed instructions on how to work with the springs to attain the slack in the compression of the springs so that we feel the tension that correlates with the extension process?

3) After some discomfort from the noose, I tried a bunch of different things like toe-sleeves, taping and finally I came up with my own method - where I used a double side tape on the silicon tube with some choice of cushion. My choice was stuffing cotton to it as I found that to not cause any irritation to my penis. But, this method still had two issues - 1) a little bit of pain or discomfort at the back of the glans (close to the head of the penis) because of the squeeze from the noose. I believe this is the focal point of stress from the noose holding the penis which creates the discomfort. Sometimes, I had experienced some irritation and “getting cut” sensation on the head of my penis at night; 2) QEP slipping when I stand up or move around which I tried to combat with rubber bands technique as circling them back into the other two holes (I use single strap technique) on the glans support wasn’t too comfortable for me.
Hence, I’m planning to ditch the noose type and use a VAC mod head that I got from eBay. So may I know if going to the VAC mod is the better alternative here or I can do something about this?

I wanted to give as much details as possible to make it clear on what info I need. My apologies if its too long to read.

I highly recommend my glans support modification if you are a grower. This allows you to get your penis strapped into the glans support FIRST without having to worry about trying to compress the extension rods while trying to get strapped in. Once you are strapped in it is easy to fit the glans support back on to the extension rods. Because your penis is securely strapped to the glans support, it is easy really stretch your penis far more than if you follow the manufacturers instructions.

I’m also a grower, and I was able to modify the plastic support as per your helpful picture using a small hacksaw, and it’s really helped me, so thanks for that! The device was almost useless to me as shipped.

Silicone Sleeve

Cunny L

I used extender in past but always had glands issue comfort & cut off blood flow cold gland. I was thinking of doing vacuum style this time around but $$ but everyone is on a budget these days. This give me thoughts of giving the noose style another go at it. Learning so much on this forum.

Quotes

Wanted to quote Cunny Linguist but got lost along the way. Not very tech savvy.

I used the QEP base with the auto extender 4.2 vacuum attachment, sooooo much better.


Start (8/30/21): 6.5"BPEL X 5.25" MSEG

Ok so I’m new new just got my Quick extender pro yesterday. I’m having issues. I don’t have a computer so can’t watch the provided DVD for instructions. Been combing the internet and can’t find it in a hard copy. So listed below are my concerns and questions.

The straps should go behind the head gland correct?

I feel like I’m not getting enough pull if I add bars I’m unable to strap my penis behind the gland. I am seeing it stretched but don’t feel anything. Is this normal or should I add more bars and pull my penis to fit?

Is there a way to prevent pinching when strapping in? I have sores from the pinch. Also probably just a beginner issue.

For now I’m only using one strap due to if I use two my gland is right under the strap.

Also the tip of my penis goes numb and cold. Is this normal?

Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

Quick Extender Pro Question

I’m sure this is talked about in length elsewhere, but what is the consensus of how long to use the extender per day?

I had the same problem with the instructions so I just googled quick extender pro instructions on duck duck go and the PDF popped up. See if that works for you.

When I used both straps I had the same cold head issue. I started just using one strap and it doesn’t happen. I use about 6-9” of cotton gauze wrapped around the base of my gland to aid in comfort and have had no issues with pain, pinching, or anything else.

Got this device and been using it for a good while now, however there are points that I am unsure if I am using it properly it.

Due to the way the contraption is made, it being a noose and all, there are times where I am unsure whether it is working or it is hurting.
That is to say, after a good hour or so, I feel something to akin to an Indian burn/little paper cuts along the shaft. I check the bell head but nothing seems amiss aside from the fact that it’s a tad cold—understandable what with it being noosed. I move it up and down and notice the pain is coming along the shaft and not the head. Do I keep going? Is this pain from fatigue or injury? Is this a sign to remove a bar or should I grit and bare with it?

Cheers,

The lines that are etched on the bars (not the extension bars) are supposed to indicate the tension being used. So I compress, strap in, and it covers up those lines. When I release, the amount of lines that end up showing should indicate the tension being used. So if all the lines are shown then the tension is the lightest, if
Only one line is showing then that indicates the highest amount of tension.

Every time I’ve used this device I’ve always seen all three bars. Ok cool I’ve just been using light tension. But when I think about it, I feel like I’d have to stretch to twice my flaccid length before there would be enough resistance from my dick to prevent the device from extending past the first line.

I currently have the rods set for 2-2.5ish inches longer than my flaccid. I’m getting a ridiculous stretch, and I’ve had good results in three months. But this post is from a long time PE’er who has way more experience with the QEP.

I’d love to hear anyone’s take on this and if the post I read is legit. It’s very confusing to me and I’m second guessing myself now

I found an easier way to make the tension of the rods going like it’s suppose to. Instead of using the silicone loop that came with it, I use first a bandage wrap to add comfort to the penis and then use cable ties to keep the head in place. Since I’m a grower, I put on the base ring first but do not attach the support glands yet! Instead I add the rod needed to the support gland ans leave it unscrewed. Now while you zip tie your penis pull it so you can align the screws to the base and tighten it on each side! Vola! I have tension and if you screw those knobs at the bottom of the base. It will show it’s adding tenison! I managed to get mines to 2nd line! Hope this helps!
