X4 Extender: Am I wearing it right?

[BMot Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BMot]

Well my X4 Extender has just arrived and after watching the DVD several times, I can't seem to figure out if I've got it set up correctly.

Does this look right? I've got the tension set to the first groove (900g?)....I think.

If you're not experiencing any discomfort and can wear it for about an hour, it looks OK to me
You should put as much tension as comfortably possible.

BMot,
Looks good to me. You may want to expose more, if not all of the corona. I try to have the glans somewhat plump before I tighten the strap to the final setting.
On the grams, mine is set up for 600, 1200, 1800 lines. I don't know if X4 has changed the spring design. That said. IF yours were the same as mine, that first line, where you are at in your picture, corresponds to 600 grams. It may be 900 for your model. It would be nice to know that aspect, so if you know for sure, shoot me a PM.
If you were at the second or middle line, it would correspond to ~ 1800 grams. I wouldn't last at that level.
Threre are ways to stretch cells, allowing mitosis, growth. good
There are ways to tear cells, allowing scar tissue formation. bad
Blindly cranking to the highest level you can bear, is a recipe for cell destruction.

It looks to me a bit pain full i have another way of wearing it and i have minimal pain or discomfort. I can wear mine for 6 to 9 hour a day with no problem. It only works for uncircumcised penis.

Bmot has put on the foam ring around the shaft, just behind the glans, it can be seen on both side of the strap. It is good in being comfortable, and slip free. It is slightly wider than the strap itself.

Interesting. I received my X4 last week, but it looks a bit different. I got the Deluxe package, what kind did you get BMot?

[BMot Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BMot]

Mine's the deluxe as well. What's different?

[Southpaw Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Southpaw]

The base and the plastic support look to be the same. However the extension rods on mine are different. Oh well, mine is working just fine.

I have an X4 model as well. At first I used the comfort strap, then I later switched to using the noose. I recently bought vacextender attachment, which I find far more comfortable. I can wear it for much longer without discomfort. I used to have discomfort while taking of my extender after and extended (no pun intended) period of time. I bought the deluxe edition as well. As far as I can tell, yours is the same bmot.

Does anyone know how to change the tension springs? I can't figure it out. I've taken all the rods apart but I can't seem to get into the rod containing the spring.

[Dangler Senior Administrator☼ Wizard ☼ White Tiger Award 2015 Find all posts View Profile Close Dangler]

There is one piece, screws on the end of each spring-rod, holding the spring inside. It has a female opening on one end, where extra rods screw into it. It will unscrew, you may need two sets of pliers, one to hold, one to turn. You know that they had to put the springs in there at some point , and then keep them from spring out ?

Take a peek at the file I attached, there is an arrow pointing to the part you need to loosen.

Just finishing my 5th week on the 4x and it seems I have gained close to 1/2 inch. I purchased the 4x with the "short dick" cradle, which I used for the first week. Than I switched to the regular cradle. At this point my BPXL was 5.5". Two weeks later, I added the 1/2 inch extensions and slowly increased the length of the extender (using the adjustments) until I reached the max length of this configuration. Last night, I stayed in the extender for 2+ hours with no discomfort and no numbness of my glans. I took a BPXL measurement and showed 6". I plan to use the 4X at this length for one more week before switching in the next size extensions (1"?). I haven't taken a BPEL measurement to see if there is any cemented erect gain. I want to wait until I feel comfortable with the 1" extensions before taking a BPEL measurement.

Switched in my 1" extenders 30 minutes ago and have been wearing since then and have slowly screwed out the extenders at least 50%. Slight discomfort just starting, but otherwise feels and looks great.

Its the piece that the tension bars move up and down in. You unscrew the opposite end. I found it by accident. I was trying to adjust the extensions back to "0" and I unscrewed this piece by accident. It opened up and the spring fell out onto the kitchen floor. I spent the next half hour feeling around the kitchen floor with one hand a flashlight in my other hand (naked). I finally found it under the refrigerator ( of course - should have looked ther first).
