Aneros with copper tape

I'm fairly new to all of this. I have a small Zeus unit that runs off of a 9 volt. I've had plenty of success with it out of the box.

Then I started to make my own electrodes-some failure some success. I modified and Aneros with copper tape and it worked great. I used it many times before deciding to redo it in a more permanent fashion. It worked good a couple times but now its become fussy.

I don't feel it for a few minutes so I continue to crank it when I feel a sudden surge and not in a good way. Does anyone know if maybe it is shorting out or if maybe there is a problem with the box itself?

I've found that the connection between the cable and the actual electrode is at times not as perfect as it should be. So it surges when some movement gives a short-term proper connection. Just redo your trode-connection. If it worked fine before, it will work again.

Ahhhh!!!! Quite Clever! I will give it a go. Thanks for the response!!

I am not sure I would use copper tape on parts that contact your body. It will oxidize.

That reminds me of a joke....

A woman goes to her gyno and everything is normal except she has a green spot on the inside of each of her thighs.

The doctor looks over his books and sees nothing about this. He sends her to a specialist just in case. He looks at her and looks through his books and can find nothing.

He sends her to his old teacher, the most learned man he knows. He is in his 90's but is sharp and has seen it all.

She hops on the table for him, spreads her legs and shows him her thighs. He looks for a moment and asks her, "do you happen to have a Gypsy lover?" She is amazed. "Yes, how did you know?" The old man smiles and tells her "Tell the cheep bastard his earrings are not real gold"...

That joke actually is pretty funny... I don't really see the concern over the tape oxidizing though. Can you elaborate?

This may just be me personally, but I would not want the oxidation products in direct contact with my intimate areas. I would flatten out $1 store stainless spoons for electrodes.

Note that I am not one of those people that is phobic about lead or mercury. I am not phobic about copper but as I said, I would not want the green stuff from it in direct contact with my privates.

LOL. I just told a female on here a few days ago who was looking for stuff around the house to use for e-stim.

Kitchen utensils can be used, stainless steel spoons being one of them. 2 spoons faced scoop to scoop,taped at the handles and you have a nice egg shaped insertable for the vagina.

They can be used as monopolar or bipolar depending if they touch or are separated. A fork can have a rake like effect. There are so much that you can do with kitchen utensils.

I think you're just saying that reggind so that nobody finds out about your gypsy lover 😃

Sounds like the wire connection has become flakey, i.e. conductivity may be decreased by gel or some non conductive element.

Try cleaning.

Where is indifferent electrode placed.

Current passes across atleast to points.
