I think it might be working. Hello everybody and welcome to eStim Systems Christmas, because it's that spot between Christmas and New Year when nobody knows what day it is, is it?
Speaker 2:bin day.
Speaker 1:Is it bin day? No, they have two weeks off, unlike the rest of us, and, yeah, nobody really knows what's going on. So, hello to everyone. It was Joanne's live stream yesterday. It's now our turn to go completely mad. I've just noticed the Christmasmas trees wobbling. Every time I wobble the desk, I think the christmas tree is drunk. We've had a fantastic christmas. We've actually had a little bit of time off and we've actually been out of the office most of the time. We have popped in a couple of times just to catch up and had some very interesting emails that we had a look at, which, yes, we won't mention the emails. Yes, this is my black book.
Speaker 1:This is the book which I carry around with me virtually everywhere I go and this is where all the easter ideas get written down and scribbled notes, ideas, thoughts, everything into my little black book and then matter where I hide it.
Speaker 2:Even when we go out, he still finds it yeah, she hides it from me.
Speaker 1:And then I have to get angsty and where's my book? I've lost my book and I can't find it again.
Speaker 2:Yep, so if you are placing orders during the christmas period, you may get an email to say your order is processing. That doesn't mean it's leaving the building that day, because we don't actually have collections booked until after the 3rd of January, because we've given our dispatch department and ninja packers a holiday Yay more holiday, despite the fact someone contacted us today and asked us why we were shipping by Elviri, every, every Elviri.
Speaker 1:I don't know what they are. They used to be called something else, didn't they? Hermes, hermes. The answer is that's not us. We're not shipping by then because, one, your order hasn't left the building and, two, we don't use them I'm also speaking of shipping.
Speaker 2:Yes, we are aware that canada is waking back up. However, at the moment we can still only ship by ups.
Speaker 1:But to canada I'm a friend anyway, that was one of my christmas. But what are we going to talk about?
Speaker 2:What are we going to talk about.
Speaker 1:What's happening in the world of Easton. What's happening in the world of Easton? One thing we've been doing is lots of YouTube videos, because that's what people seem to be liking, and you'll find that we're now doing shorts virtually every day. Some of them have been quite controversial and some of them have been completely boring, but we keep doing them.
Speaker 1:If controversial, and some of them have been completely boring, but we keep doing them. Um, if I get a chance to, I might even do some work on some code, because I am currently working on the new firmware. You wouldn't believe it, but I actually am.
Speaker 1:It's the same one you've been working on for the last however long yeah, you've got some some interesting ideas that are coming up, unlike some companies which they release brand new products and immediately you have to put new firmware out because they miss something really basic like the knob goes in the wrong direction. Not quite sure how they manage that. But yeah, I can't really criticize because we've done things in the past, lefty, righty, tighty lefty loosey.
Speaker 1:Okay, yes, I think the term is lefty loosey, righty tighty lefty oowee, righty oowee yeah, we also had some great fun with liz doing the part two of the liz video, which has been quite an entertaining. Liz is chomping at the bit, so to speak, to come back to talk to us. Who knows what might happen in the future. It's planned sometime anyway what's the first question?
Speaker 1:the first question is a question on sticky pads. They do the chores on metal chastity, but with drawbacks. I think I understand what that means. Uh, they're sticky pads. Fundamentally, they're designed to stick to the skin. So you're always going to have this issue with if you're sticking it to something that's metal, the contacts aren't going to be as good if you're using, say, for instance, like crop clips. So you've got a metal to metal contact. So, yeah, they can be used with certain chassis devices. I mean, the honest answer is it depends on the chassis device.
Speaker 1:There are now so many different versions of them, so many variations, that nobody can really keep up. How long do the electro pads last for? Uh, I think the answer to that is depends on how long you use them. Uh, yeah, I'm gonna completely ignore that at the moment from toothless east him there. Um, yeah, pads, it depends on how long you use them. Generally we say use them on clean skin, peel them off, stick them back on the plastic carrier sheet. They're going to last you a good few sessions, and for us, five or six sessions is pretty good. I think we probably have them lasting a bit longer sometimes. Again, it depends. So it's difficult to say how long do they last?
Speaker 1:Top tip though Don't stick them to the cat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't stick them to the cat. Yeah, don't stick them to the cat. Cats don't like them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cats don't like them. If you want to know about the story of the cat, go and listen to one of the other live streams, because we talk about it then, okay.
Speaker 2:Oh no, she's got another.
Speaker 1:one Is the output of the electrohelix true biphasic? Oh, it's a techie one for Christmas. Is the output of the electro helix truly biphasic? None of our boxes are symmetrically biphasic. They're asymmetrically biphasic, which basically means that the waveform is lopsided, so it's more positive than negative. So in terms of current in and current out, the net result is zero because of the way we generate the pulses and the way the output works on the boxes. So the boxes are all biphasic. But a lot of people think biphasic means that they're symmetrical, so the pulse at the top and the pulse at the bottom are the same. And the answer is no, they're not. Yes, they are truly biphasic, but they're asymmetrically biphasic. So some people say, oh, you're just fiddling around with semantics. And the answer is no, we're fiddling around with waveforms, but no, the outputs of the boxes are all AC and they're all biphasic, but they're asymmetrical. I want a question from Robin.
Speaker 1:Hello Robin, let's just get this in. I've noticed the on-off switch on the e-stim remote is more substantial than that on the 2B. That's interesting because they're exactly the same.
Speaker 2:It's exactly the same they are actually the same switch.
Speaker 1:So I'm not sure, assuming you're talking about the current e-stim remote, they are exactly the same switch. Yeah, really, they are the same switch.
Speaker 2:That could be the different component part number because they have changed part numbers, but it's exactly the same switch. That could be the different component part number because they have changed part numbers, but it's exactly the same design prior to that.
Speaker 1:Yes, it was a slightly older switch. Anyway, she's got another question for me.
Speaker 2:We missed this one off. The last question from Dave.
Speaker 1:Dave's question that we missed from last time can I clean an electrode if it becomes discoloured? Okay, generally, yes. Now we make our electrodes from aircraft-grade aluminium. Now, one of the things with aluminium is it has an oxide layer on the outside. You generally don't see pure aluminium in use because it's really soft. It's just useless. So generally you're using aluminium alloy, which is what we're using, and over time it ends up being a slightly darker colour.
Speaker 1:If you are cleaning them in terms of boiling them or sometimes using some other substances, try and avoid caustic cleaning substances, because that does really cause issues with aluminium. But generally, over time, aluminium will become darker and some people go, oh, can I clean this? Well, the answer is it isn't actually dirt, it's just the oxides getting darker. Easy thing to do if you're in that situation and you want to try and brighten it up is a brillo pad and just give it a gentle rub. Don't use anything that's really caustic or scary, because you'll scratch the surface. But a Brillo pad will actually burn the shit up a little bit.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, okay, we have another question. I'm not an electrician, so where can I look for info on connectivity In terms of how to connect electrodes? Then the answer is going to be our youtube site, our forum. Joanne's got a few videos on how to use electrodes and where to put them and what sort of configurations they work with. There's lots of things out there and we're working on more, so keep watching this space. We're doing our best to come up with ideas to show you how to use e-stim.
Speaker 2:We'll come on our live chat.
Speaker 1:Or come on our live chat and ask us.
Speaker 2:Not just on the live stream live chat. We do actually have a chat facility on our website, so one of our operatives will be able to answer your questions online for you.
Speaker 1:So that's your answer, dave. Just give them a burnish with a bit of Brillo pad. Do not use anything like wire wool. One of the reasons is wire wool will embed steel into the surface of the aluminium, which will start to corrode and go rusty. So steel wool, no, a basic Brillo pad you know the sort of thing green, scarry thing and a gentle rub, and that should help. Ah, a brillo pad is why? Well, do you mean the scotch? I mean one of those green pads. Yeah, washing up sponge, sometimes have it on the back because the one of the problems. I can see what you mean now. Yeah, it's that generic term. I think the americans also have something called scrub daddy, which we've discovered oh yeah, scrub daddy um, but yeah, it's the green colored scouring pad, not the metal based ones.
Speaker 1:That's the one I mean when I say brillo pad. So yeah, please don't use the metal ones from the older generation. Yeah, brillo pads and vim. I remember having to scrub things my electrode is too big.
Speaker 2:Can I send it back, please?
Speaker 1:you'll be surprised at how many times we get asked this? Question normally it's when they've ordered the decimator in the sale eyes bigger than the belly syndrome the answer is if you haven't actually used it and you still have the the plastic security seal intact around it, then yes, you can send it back. If you have used it, then unfortunately the answer is no. We do not do secondhand sex toys or if you've unwrapped it.
Speaker 2:If it's, if it's not sealed, it shows. If it's sealed, drop us an email and we can look into it for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, obviously, if there's an issue with it in terms of its defective, then yeah, we will accept returns and we can sort things like that. But if it's just simply the fact that, as she puts it, your eyes are a little bit bigger than the orifice, I will add.
Speaker 2:Another question in relation to this we get asked on a regular basis is what is the insertable load, what are the dimensions, what are the sizes? All the sizes, insertable lengths and dimensions of our electrodes are actually on the website. You just need to scroll down to the bottom of the product and you'll find all the information there for you. Okay, next one. This is another popular one.
Speaker 1:Why is shipping?
Speaker 2:your products so expensive. This especially relates to people from overseas.
Speaker 1:Well, actually it's strange enough it relates to people from not overseas as well, because I've seen people in the uk complaining the answer is strange enough basically, shipping is expensive.
Speaker 1:We do not make any profit on shipping. In fact, with larger orders we lose out on shipping because we have to split the orders up in terms of, let's say, one kilo. We then have things like volumetric weight. We ship using services unlike elviri or ev or whatever it's called, which generally get the package to you. So it's going to be upsdhl dpd, depending on where it's going, and that's expensive. It's not cheap. They generally don't chuck them over the wall, although some of them do do. We've seen it, unfortunately. So there's not a lot I can do. If we absorb the shipping cost, making the shipping appear to be cheaper, then effectively it goes into the price of the product. So you're still paying for it. It's just like and UK orders.
Speaker 2:You do actually have the option of free shipping. It only costs you money. If you want to use the express shipping for UK orders, you can actually order and select collection as an option. But can you please? If you're doing so, please bear in mind that we're not actually a shop, we are actually a workshop and we can't just have customers just turn up on our doorstep to say I'm coming to collect an item. We do actually ask you to contact us when you get a notification. Your order is ready for collection to arrange a time. Just to make sure somebody is there.
Speaker 1:There's a question wash your stuff in the dishwasher? Oh, the answer is theoretically, and sometimes you can. The problem is one is the salt that most of us use in a dishwasher can cause issues with aluminium. It can cause staining and there is a notorious gentleman who sent an electrode back which was green after he'd washed it in his dishwasher. I think he might have left it in there for about two weeks because it was like really, really green. It was not a nice color, um. So in theory you can put it into a dishwasher, but you need to be careful what you're actually cleaning it with, because some of the finishes, the tablets and things they're going to be potentially caustic and you could end up with, um, a disc, slightly discolored electrode. It's still going to work, but rinse only.
Speaker 2:My advice Rinse only.
Speaker 1:Just watch out for the rinse aid.
Speaker 2:And don't get your children to go to the dishwasher afterwards.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, mum, what's this? Don't get the kids to do it, who knows? Anyway, do we have any more questions? We have a few more questions. Give me a question then.
Speaker 2:Well, I've got a box, I don't know. I'll give you a minute.
Speaker 1:No, I want more questions.
Speaker 2:You want more questions? Okay, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, more questions. We'll get the questions first.
Speaker 2:We'll get the questions first and then.
Speaker 1:You never know. You never know. There's a question here Can you show? Because the waveforms will depend on the mode, it'll depend on the settings, it'll depend on the individual. We have had people try to demonstrate that the waveforms that we do show you know the graphic thing about eight pixels high is not the waveform that the box produces. No, because that is a little graphic representation. So the simple answer is no. We don't show waveforms because nobody else does and they would actually be quite meaningless in terms of how it actually feels. And for us that's the key here. E-stim is about sensation. It's not about how much the waveform goes up and down, because you, if you just looked in a oscilloscope seeing a waveform, you're not actually going to know what it feels like. Yeah, and you actually going to know what it feels like. You'll only know what it feels like when you actually plug yourself in.
Speaker 2:Okay, can I use tri-phase with my e-bead?
Speaker 1:No, the question is can I use tri-phase with an e-bead electrode? The simple answer is no, because the e-bead has a cable attached to it which is going to take up one channel, and then you've got no way of connecting the second channel with the tri could you use it with a dual adapter?
Speaker 1:I don't know. It's one of those you possibly could sort of if you fiddle around with all the. I think my simple answer is going to be no, not easily. Um then somebody's going to spend hours turning around to me and saying, well, actually you can, but not easily all right.
Speaker 2:How powerful is the eastern remote? It depends ouch, ouch.
Speaker 1:Um, how powerful is the eastern remote? Generally we consider it to be more powerful than helix and not as powerful as 2b, especially if you run the 2b off a power supply. But a lot of power sensation is going to be down to individual feel. It's going to be how you use it. If you just running it without, you're running it at high level and you then hit the fire button, that's going to feel more powerful than if you had it on continuous and you're building up slowly.
Speaker 2:So the answer is what I'm putting this one's back, so don't get mixed up.
Speaker 1:All right, she's now putting things back in the fishbowl. So the answer is remote is more powerful than helix, but not as powerful as a 2b do you offer a price guarantee or do you match prices?
Speaker 2:warm soapy water that's a good answer to that one.
Speaker 1:No, warm soapy water is the best way to clean electrodes. Just remember to dry them when you put them back together. Do you offer a price match or do you offer a price guarantee? Do we offer a price match or do we offer a price guarantee? No, is the really simple answer. Why don't we offer a price match? Because it wouldn't be fair to somebody who's offering our products at a discounted rate, because they are absorbing that discount and we're not here to screw over our suppliers, our stockists. If they wish to offer a discount, that's up to them. So simple answer is no, we do not price match. We do not offer. What was the other bit? Was it just price?
Speaker 2:matching Price guarantee. Simple answer, All right. Last question I have got a computer which only has USB-C. Are you planning to introduce USB-C connections to your digital link interface cables?
Speaker 1:Not at the moment. Why not? Because at the moment that would mean we would have to stock two types of cable, and a lot of people still have USB 1, 2 and all the other versions of it. And it's quite easy just get an adapter, plug it in and it it works. Um. So the simple answer is, at the moment, no. As new products come online, then, yes, we will be adhering to the new charging standards for usbc as things progress, but we don't have to at the moment because we don't produce mobile phones okay, right oh what's this stamp your pants hold on hold, on hold on.
Speaker 1:We don't have a flashy stamp your pants rant logo, yet no, we don't.
Speaker 1:I wish to complain. I wish to complain and this is related, I think, this one the fact that they yeah, okay, all right, why are your prices so high normally? Why can't you offer 40 off all the time? You are ripping people off? Do I have to answer that? Yes, I have to answer that. I think this is related to black friday.
Speaker 1:Why do are we able to offer a big discount at certain times of the year?
Speaker 1:Why don't we just offer that all the way through the year? And the simple answer is because we happen to be a business and what we're actually doing is using some of the overhead spare bit of a product that we potentially would offer to a store and we're now offering it direct to you. So that discount that a store would get, we're now effectively giving it to you, which is why we don't do it too often, because we don't want to annoy our stores and people forget that if we're making a product, we then have to sell that product to a distributor, who then has to sell that product to a store, and the store is the one that you get to walk into their little bricks and mortar and buy the product. But they need to make a profit, and so does the distributor want to make a profit, and so do we want to make a profit, so that section of money gets chopped up and has to be shared around question from dave oh, we have a question from dave.
Speaker 1:So the answer is we're not ripping people off. They're quite clear. We're quite transparent. We're not a mass market product. We don't mass produce in china, so we don't. We're not producing these for five pence and selling them for several hundred pounds.
Speaker 1:Oh, I wish just doesn't happen. You would be quite surprised what the margins actually are, especially when you start to look at what a store wants to make and what the distributor wants to make. Um, we, at the end of the day, are probably the ones who make the least out of it, because that's the way the world works. But anyway, we have a question from dave can you become desensitized if you use an insert too much? Um, yeah, the honest answer is you can be desensitized if you use anything too much, whether it's an insert, whether it's in fact and virtually anything. We use Impact toys Yep. You can become desensitized. Insertables Yep. Sticky pads Yep. E -Stim itself Yep. Which is why, when we tend to play, we tend to play and then have a break, and then we'll play again, and that break can be hours. Which is why, when we tend to play, we tend to play and then have a break, and then we'll play again, and that break can be hours, it can be days, it can be a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can become desensitized. It's the way the body works.
Speaker 1:It's not a very sexy toy really, though. Oh, robby's now trying to confuse us. When I mentioned the dishwasher, I was joking. I actually use washing up liquid, fire, clean water, rinse and towel dry. Yep, but people do use dishwashers, and you'll be surprised you'd be surprised what we also had some of microwave one. That was not a good thing, and we had a gentleman a few years ago who managed to boil his electrodes not once but twice, to the extent that they boiled dry in the saucepan and melted the insulator and he asked us for spare insulators.
Speaker 1:After the second time you're like you really need to start looking at how you're doing this, because if you're leaving it to boil dry, not a good look you have a stampy pattern, now Dave's having a break for a few weeks, right this is the last question and it's a stamp I remember this one came in. Okay, there's a little bit of a backstory this is a christmas present.
Speaker 1:I had a lovely christmas present from um, a gentleman, and I'm not going to name names, and I hope that he'll see this video because it'll be so funny. Basically, he purchased his to be from a friend and the to be failed which is sadly something that that has. That can happen and wanted to know if we were going to repair it under the lifetime guarantee and the simple answer is, unfortunately, no. It's a second-hand unit. The lifetime guarantee only applies to the first person to purchase it, the original purchaser.
Speaker 2:Or if you purchase from the store.
Speaker 1:Well, technically that's still an original purchase.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the original purchaser. And before we sort of got into the whole conversation of okay, well, we can still deal with this for you, it's just going to be a little bit of a chargeable repair he went into rant and he informed me that everything that he was writing was going to go onto youtube and we were slimy gits or words to that effect and he was now having to send everything back to his mate, demand a refund and we would have to deal with his mate. And then we got an email about three hours later from a very similar email address purporting to be his mate, but we, that's a separate side of things, but it was like really, I mean, come on right, okay, lifetime guarantee. Lifetime guarantee applies to the original purchaser of any unit. If you buy it as a gift for someone, then please give them the receipt, or at least keep the receipt, so if they have an issue they can get back to you and go that lovely present you've given me.
Speaker 1:There's an issue. I need the receipt to get the guarantee. We don't have an issue with that. And in fact, in all honesty, if you actually come to us and say I have an issue, I bought this, I was given this, I don't have the receipt. Could you sort it out for me? Generally, the answer is going to be we can do something, we can help, we can sort something out. But the minute you go into, I'm going to put all this over facebook or youtube or wherever, and you're slimy gits and this is all a con. Then I'm going to sit all this over Facebook or YouTube or wherever, and you're slimy gits and this is all a con. Then I'm going to sit there, going really.
Speaker 1:I'm really sorry to hear you've got problems, but it's not a con. It's really really simple. Every single place you go on our website, every video that mentions lifetime guarantee, says the same thing Lifetime guarantee applies to the original purchaser, End of story. It's not difficult. If it's not the original purchaser, we can still sort out a repair, but it's going to be a few pounds or a few dollars to fix because you are not the original purchaser. It's not a con. We're not slimy. We make it really clear and in fact, if anyone does feel that we don't make it clear enough, please tell us we, we'll make it clearer. But if you are going to put it off over youtube and tell everyone, you'll tell your mates how slimy we are we'll get there first, because guess what, this is youtube and this is live.
Speaker 1:And I'm quite happy to have those conversations in public because we feel that our systems are right. We don't always get it right, but sometimes you just get people going really, come on, it's you could have just asked nicely and we would have said, yeah, no problem, we can get this sorted. But the minute you start calling me a slimy git and, uh, telling us that we're all call merchants, it's like no, not gonna happen. So anyway. We're all con merchants. It's like no, not gonna happen, so anyway change the subject change the subject.
Speaker 1:I need a. I need a stampy pants.
Speaker 2:Rant obviously, with us being closed for Christmas, I've been having a bit of a tidy up oh no and um tidying up. That is never a good sign well, especially when you go into his office. You will not believe what I found what are you doing in my office? I'm worried now we have the black box what?
Speaker 1:where on earth did you find those?
Speaker 2:your desk, the floor, the chair, your electronics desk on top of your computer in your filing cabinet. I had a tight it seems to be my office, so I did so. Maybe we should play a bit of show and tell, shall we?
Speaker 1:easton has been around a while. Oh okay, I have a question from the floor. Easton has been around for a while. How'd you come up for the idea?
Speaker 2:I'm blaming her for that one if you're actually going to listen to the I make sex toys podcast, you'll actually come up here on air about the story of how easton first came around and how, 20 years ago, a little design that came up for us to play with came into existence.
Speaker 1:And now, 20 years later, basically, we were exploring the world and we found tens units out there which had been rebadged and people were like, yeah, yeah, try these. And they were like these are rebadged which had been rebadged. And people were like, yeah, yeah, try these. And they were like these are rebadged TENS units and I could build one of these and I could build it better, and that was 20 years ago, and I did.
Speaker 1:And I built it better, quicker and all that. And actually that's how eStim started Building one for ourselves. Friends saw it. We built some more Friends then saw it. How do more friends they saw this more you've got?
Speaker 2:she's got my box. I'm gonna get huffy now. You have to be careful what you're showing here okay well, I'll show that one first okay, what's that? Oh, I know what that is show and tell time show and tell time I'll show you my new time of yours.
Speaker 1:This is actually the prototype. I wonder if super source is working, or there we are. This is the prototype for the triple. Um, so this was testing the idea of how we get the multiple levels of insulator, insulator and the two contact points, and yeah, that's what it ends up being. So, yeah, that's a triple. As you can see, the base doesn't even have a functional bottom, and I think I just ran a program just to see what it looked like. So, yeah, that is the prototype for a triple. Right next, I can do this. This is like 20 questions okay well, give me the box.
Speaker 1:I know what that is. You can have the box and you can have that back.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'll put I'll put that there.
Speaker 1:I'll put that back on the shelf. Can you guess what this is? Is that a 2b? No, this is not a 2b. This is actually a prototype for an eastern remote that we never actually completed. Um had a magic little. There's the key fob um, and this is based on that's a dual-channel one, wasn't it? That's actually two remote. Yeah, this is actually a dual-channel remote that we were working on and never completed, and this is actually how we build our prototypes. So you end up with some of the electronics hiding in this side.
Speaker 2:Do you want to explain why we never completed it? We?
Speaker 1:never completed it. Uh, we never completed it because the company making the key fobs uh, went bust about two hours after. We phoned them up and said, can we have lots of key fobs? And they were like, uh, no, so that is an easton remote prototype, um, and this is how we build our prototypes. We tend to build them into big cases and they have extra bits sticking out, which is the connections for the test rigs and things like that. And in fact, there's another one here. I'll swap.
Speaker 1:This is a cute little ditty, one that's a 2B. This is upside down because this is an Eastim remote, sorry, an Eastim 2B in the same configuration, um, this is an older one I think this is about an issue 10 um, but yeah, again, it's in a box that we can take apart. There's some extra bits, sockets, floating around, but that's a 2b. This is our design of east in ring. Uh, there we are. So this is a current east in ring. Uh, we do sizes from 35 up to 65 and these are massively popular. These are what we actually looked at as a prototype um, which is a ring with a four mil connector on the side. One of the problems we had with these is these connectors break. In fact, I'm not going to break this one because it's a prototype. Is there a collar in there? No, no, no, no, no, no. Give me the collar.
Speaker 2:Give me the collar. That's a collar, because I saw this.
Speaker 1:This is actually the first rings that we developed.
Speaker 2:We actually sold a few as well.
Speaker 1:We called these ball collars, and this has actually been in the workshop for years, which is why it looks like it's been rattled around, anyway. So these were ball collars which were the big versions of the rings. That was a ring prototype and that's the rings we came up with, and I know she's dying to show you the other ring.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm pretty sure Roy would like this if this got reinvented.
Speaker 1:Yes, Roy, just for you.
Speaker 2:And Toothless Nerd.
Speaker 1:And Toothless Nerd. Thanks, this is a ring that we were looking at putting spikes into. So these are actually threaded holes. This actually was produced before a certain other company produced prestige rings, so we got there first, but we never actually put them out there, but we looked at putting rings with spikes. No spikes allowed. What other delights do we have in the magic box? So, yeah, people are going yum yum. So there is a possibility at some point we will look at doing spikes. Yeah, I've said it. I'm going to bleep that bit out when I do the highlights. Edit.
Speaker 2:Right, I'm just going to get one last. I'll get this one out next.
Speaker 1:You've got lots of interesting things in there.
Speaker 2:This is a bit of history.
Speaker 1:This is more than a bit of history.
Speaker 2:Little bit of history.
Speaker 1:This is the first e-stim electrode I ever produced. Please say it's not used. I'm not saying that this has been around for quite a while. In fact, I can still take it apart. Um, this has got bits that are glued inside, but yeah, this is sort of the equivalent of the original original. Original, this was pre-Eastim Systems, so this was a design that I came up with before Eastim Systems actually existed. This was a personal design and actually it worked out to be quite difficult to make it like this, which is why we don't make them like that. But yeah, that was original. Okay, we have a question from lenny I've seen electric caps and other items.
Speaker 1:Are they compatible with easton? If you mean things like um heads, caps for the heads of the penis, like the?
Speaker 2:Jet Set Willy.
Speaker 1:Jet Set Willy. And the saddle, yes they are, and saddle from Joanne, although technically the saddle's not a cap. Jet Set Willy from Joanne yes, they work with Easton. Other things I don't know. I mean, if you're talking about a cap that goes over the head, no, don't do it. Bad idea, not something I would avoid If you're talking Corona caps for the plunging peak.
Speaker 2:Yes, again, they are compatible. Just you may need an adapter to connect to our control units.
Speaker 1:That's the last thing coming out the box. This was when I get asked.
Speaker 2:This is hiding in the back of your cupboard.
Speaker 1:I know, know, who knows what it is okay, this is actually the probably the last customer electrode I ever made for a customer, on the grounds that they then disappeared. They didn't pay for it and therefore I never actually finished it. But yeah, this is a bit of a beast and the idea was that they wanted something that was long, rigid, ribbed, ribbed for the pleasure, and had a staggered top. In fact, the top still works. You can actually unscrew the top and change the top. But yeah, this was made for a customer as a custom electrode and took quite a while to make it actually.
Speaker 2:Hang on. You said we don't make custom electrodes.
Speaker 1:We don't at the moment.
Speaker 2:We don't since this one, and this is one of the reasons why. This is one of the reasons why.
Speaker 1:A tea flask.
Speaker 2:We put our time and effort into designing it. It could be a flask More tea, Vic.
Speaker 1:How long's the thread on this? I make sure the threads are always long enough not to come off.
Speaker 2:It'd be a good cup of tea.
Speaker 1:I'll do it, I'll just pour it in. There we are. Yeah, it's not hollow, though Unfortunately it weighs a ton. Yeah, it's three inches in diameter. I'm going to get pinged by YouTube now, because YouTube will see this and go ooh, he's doing weapons or something. But yeah, by YouTube now, because YouTube will see this and go ooh, he's doing weapons or something. But yeah, that was a custom job for a customer who never purchased it and it's not currently available because it's now in the museum.
Speaker 2:I do have one. I've got one last customer that tried have you got the rubbery one?
Speaker 1:no, oh go, show me the rubbery one.
Speaker 2:I have the same one, but I also want plug yeah, so there we are.
Speaker 1:Anyone want to go to the gym? Although that sort of mutated into a um, an omg, because the same diameter. But yeah, and these were also pre-cnc, so these were handmade by me and, yes, I don't know what this is. This put put that away.
Speaker 2:It looks a bit foreign for itself.
Speaker 1:A flask. Yeah, dave Roberts RPG. No, dave, it's not an RPG this. Let's go onto the closer camera. Here we are, do I have it? It's an idea that we had and, as you can see, it's flexible.
Speaker 1:It's got a bit of wire sticking up. Yeah, the problem is if, the minute you start doing flexi things, you then start having to put wires into things and then you lose the ability to have any form of longevity and, as you can see, after probably 20 years actually no, this is probably more like 15 years the rubber has perished, and it's not a massively great idea. We do know another company that makes something very similar and we actually see similar issues with theirs. The rubber just doesn't last and it's quite difficult to do the seals and things like that.
Speaker 2:Alright, okay, this is quite unusual somebody asked earlier about how easton came about.
Speaker 1:So yeah, history time this is the original series one predecessor to the helix so if we go on to, the predecessor to the healing.
Speaker 1:This is the predecessor to the series one, which is the predecessor to the Series 1, which is the predecessor to the Helix. So it's interesting because it actually has a photocopied label. So the label is photocopied, which is pretty good considering that's now 21 years old at least. And yeah, it has lots of the functionality that the original electro helix had. Original series one had doesn't have a fire button. Strangely enough, um has a strange hole on the side. Continuous and pulse mode, power output level, pulse frequency, pulse rate, and that's the box that started it. All this has been played with for years and years and years and years and years. Doesn't have a serial number. So that's our original.
Speaker 2:Series 1.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that, combined with that electrode, is serious amounts of history there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so surprising what you find when you go for a show-and-tell session yeah, thank god, you didn't find everything well, there were some phases like nope, nope, mind nope it's that?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's that. Have you actually found the bits? I mean, obviously there are certain things that we haven't shown you because we we do have new products in design phases.
Speaker 2:And there were certain things I couldn't reach, because I couldn't reach the top shelf off the cupboard.
Speaker 1:You couldn't reach the top shelf off the cupboard.
Speaker 2:I couldn't reach the top shelf off the cupboard. I was too short.
Speaker 1:Do we have any more questions out there Any more?
Speaker 2:people want to play show and tell.
Speaker 1:I'll show you mine, if you show me yours. I think, actually I think, if we did show and tell with Joanne and her team, we'd end up being here for years looking at all of the 3D print no, because 3D printing takes so much effort to get it right and you end up with so many. There's no 3D prints in there.
Speaker 2:We had some 3D prints good, we've got the prototype, but the products we do, they're the rings and the wands. You don't want to see this.
Speaker 1:This was my interest in show and tell she went through the show and tell box but, yeah, we have lots of bits and pieces which sort of get halfway and then go oh no, that doesn't work really well. Yeah, when you 3D print stuff, you're just going to end up with loads of things and that's before you have 3D prints fail, which is what happens to a lot of stuff that I print, because I'm not a 3D print expert. So if you want 3D printed electrodes and 3D printed cock systems and anything else they come up with and think of, then Joanne is the person to go to 3D print king and queen 3D print king, queen and princess.
Speaker 1:And princess East Imselle. Yes, there's an East Imselle going on. Did we already mention the sale. Yeah, mention yourself anyway, please.
Speaker 2:Whatever you do, have a great new year when we back um, we're back on the last sunday, so we'll be back live on the last sunday of january she's, she's jumping ahead here I'm saying, I'm saying thank you, yeah, we are we are back in the office properly from the 6th of january. We do have skeleton team in from the 3rd of january. So we are going to be back in the office properly from the 6th of January. We do have skeleton team in from the 3rd of January.
Speaker 1:So we are going to be back in the office in the next week in fact, we're actually in the office tomorrow because we're waiting for delivery of a camera that hasn't turned up that's Amazon for you. Your Amazon parcel is 27 stops away urethral electric sound we do electric sounds, we do sounds oh, there's some of those sounds oh no, not those ones. She's gone on to the really absurd designs this is one that we like, ribbed.
Speaker 2:How can you like?
Speaker 1:that it's confusing it. Now, there you go, it's got ridges look, you can see it's got ridges from down there, where it's in focus, hollow electric sounds. Um, the honest answer is it's something I've looked at.
Speaker 1:Watch this space because there are some plans for some interesting bits and pieces in 2025 can't tell you what but we don't generally say what we're doing in advance because, unlike other companies, we actually, when it's on the shelf, we'll tell you about it so you can buy it. If we tell you about it and then have to wait three years for it to reappear, that's not really fair on you. So there are certain things we're looking at. Back you lock, okay, I think, to toothless nerd is now on something.
Speaker 2:Oh, I've ah vacu-lock. Ah, you mean for f machines?
Speaker 1:uh, there we are. Vacu-lock, compatible urethral sound no, because you want to put spikes on it as well. Not happening, happening, it's just no, it just doesn't work.
Speaker 2:Everyone likes spikes, everyone likes spikes, zappy, zappy, spiky, spiky.
Speaker 1:This is just going in.
Speaker 2:this is degenerating into it is, though we've been on the show today.
Speaker 1:We've been on the lemonade.
Speaker 2:Trust me, it was just lemonade.
Speaker 1:Robin's going to buy it. I'll do it. A drinky-poos, a drinky poos, a drinky poos, a drinky poos. Cheers, happy Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Thank you very much For sticking with us. As Cass has been trying to say, take the road ribbed For the ladies, please. Oh, let's not go on to Ribbed for pleasure. And Yorkies? Yorkies are not just for women.
Speaker 2:No, they used to, they used to mind us, they used to be much for.
Speaker 1:Anyway, Thank you so much for supporting us. We could not do this without you out there. We couldn't do the live streams without looking at Joanne's crew and going. They do it so much better than us.
Speaker 2:Even when we're sitting on trains.
Speaker 1:Even when we sit on trains. They do it every week. How does 3D printing fit in? If you want to know anything about 3D printing in terms of Easton, then Joanne's live stream every Saturday at 5. Just type in Joanne's reviews into YouTube. They are the 3D printing experts. If you want to talk about CNC machining stuff, then come and talk to us. That's what we do. But 3D printing is Joanne and her crew. They do a fantastic range in all sorts of interesting colours. They're coming up with all sorts of interesting ideas, so they're the people to talk to. Anyway, we are now gonna go.
Speaker 1:We're gonna go now have a great christmas, fantastic new year and we'll see you in 2025 and we're back on the last sunday of january for our next live yep, last sunday in january, so thanks for watching.
