Quick Extender Pro Question

I’ve been using the QEP for three months and have seen some nice gains so far (1/2 inch) but as I browse through forums I have found something that makes me wonder if I’ve actually been using it correctly. Below is what I read and it made me very confused.

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

Well, if you’re seeing gains without extending to twice your flaccid size, then you’ve already disproven their hypothesis.

The statement, a need to stretch to beyond twice one’s flaccid, sounds like arbitrary hooey to me.

My dick is very “stretchy”. I try and warm up/pre stretch as much as I can before I rig up the extender. But sometimes it just isnt enough, so there have been times where I’ve had to use a two stage process.

1) rig up as usual, then in say 10-15mins, when it seems to have stretched out and there is no more tension on the springs, even after I’ve adjusted the rods and screws as much as possible,
2) take it off, add in a small rod section, and rig up again.

Hey, thanks for the input, I’ve been doing something similar to this but wasn’t really sure about it.

The extender I have had a two noose system but I only ever use one, so I’ll basically start in the noose closest to me and after a while switch to the one further away.I’m guessing it’s about 2 small bars difference in length.

Sorry, it was more a figure of speech.. But it feels like I would need to stretch super far, much farther than I can now, to actually have some of the lines on the bar covered.

Even though I’ve had good progress it still makes me question if I’m on the right path

I would say that you are on the right path. Your penis is more flexible than most, but then it is just a matter of having enough parts to put together an extender that will fit you.

No, I contacted support three times, explicitly asking if the notches represented the tension and therefore, if I had to refer to them to make sure I was wearing the extender correctly and each time they replied that they do NOT indicate tension and that after the pressure exerted to wear the QEP they must become visible again.

The QEP support is ridiclous to say the least. The tension rods compressed to the lines absolutely insicates how much tension there is. The more the springs compress, the more tension it creates. What they SHOULD be saying is you don’t need to be too concerned about how much the springs are compressed (at least not initially).

I am a grower like most people using the QEP seem to be and I had the same issues described above. I could never get myself stretched enough while getting strapped in to feel like I had any useful tension being exterted on my penis. My solution was to modify the glans support so that I could get myself strapped securely into the glans support FIRST and then stretch my penis when fitting the glans support on to the tension rods.

I honestly disagree. The notches should cover themselves at the moment the extender is compressed to put the loop, but when the springs are released and elongation is achieved, all 3 must become visible again, otherwise you are not exploiting the full length of rods and consequently, neither maximum and ideal traction.

You are welcome to disagree, but (respectfully) you are wrong. The full length of the rod is irrelevent if there is no tension. An extender is worthless if there is no tension being applied. An uncompressed spring creates ZERO tension! Sorry, but you can’t argue with physics…(well, you can, but it’s pointless)

I agree with Cunny Linguist in here. The times when I saw the most gains were when the spring was kept compressed and at least one tiny bit of markings or notches were not visible. For my extender, there are 3 notches/markings, I need to “hide” at least the first one or part of it to actually create traction and growth.

Hi Cunny,

Maybe I don’t grasp the concept, but to say that «full length of the rods is irrelevant if there is no tension», to me it seems an oxymoron, I mean, by stretching the rods more and more, therefore in few weeks going beyond own maximum size, how can it not create tension to the shaft? I ask this in a sincere way, with no desire for controversy, but only to understand and if necessary modify the extender.

A full rod indicates the springs are not compressed so there is no tension on the penis.

Lay your extender on a table and look at it carefully. The spring is full extended in this position. There is no spring tension impacting the sled of the extender in the full extension position. The sled is the part of the extender you strap into.

Stand the extender on end with the base on the table. With one hand (or both, doesnt matter), start compressing the extender. You should feel resistance (pressure) on your hand the further you compress the extender until it is fully compressed and you have maximum pressure the springs can generate on your hand. As you compress the extender with your hand you will also be covering up the tension marks in the rods. This resistance/pressure is the tension your dick should feel when in the extender.

If your dick is in the extender and there is no compression then your dick is not feeling any tension and is not operaring as designed. The only force acting on your dick is the weight of the extender, meaning you have converted your extender into a very light weight hanger.

Hi 32quarters,

Thanks for answer, but help me to understand.. That is, if the extender stretches my dick 2cm past BPFSL, but all three notches are visible, isn’t it creating tension?

ScaccoMatto; how can the extender stretch out your penis 2 cm more than your BPFSL ? If it can, then you have measured your BPFSL in a wrong way, or have not stretched out your penis enough with your hand while you measuring it.

If there is not more to stretch out - it should be tension on the penis and the markings should be hidden according to the tension that is created.
