Tracking Tension on a HOG Extender

[MethodicalOne]

I’m using a HOG extender and like it so far. Setup is easy and I’m getting good stretch, especially with heat. Since I’m still early, I don’t want to overdo tension.

The extender has numbered markings on the springs, but they don’t seem to move even when I tighten or loosen the screws, even though I can clearly feel tension changes. Do those numbers actually translate to pounds of tension, or are they just reference marks?

What’s the best way to measure or track tension on a HOG extender in practice?

Some of the brothers here also use the Hog Extender base and they like it. It's a base with interchangeable pressure cups and strap/noose platforms. I was thinking about getting one just for the experience of it last year. It has a quick-on quick-off base design, and it's much better than the JES platform I have. If you already have a SiliStretcher, it also a great base to have as well. HOWEVER, the only thing is the limited heights. Yes, it does have 12in overall height, with 10.5in of working length. But if the vacuum cup has a 2in body length, it will not work well.

The spring tension are an indicator of how much you are being subjected to. Pay attention to the marker very closely. High tension should be used more than 10 to 30 minutes to break down the tissues using bundled (twisting/contorsion of the penile shaft) tensions. For example, for an intermediate or veteran users, most of the moderate tension (around 5 to 6lbs) and high tension (more than 6lbs) for the first 10 to 30 minutes. Standard or light tension is 2.3 to 2.6lbs for as long as possible.

Since the Hog Extender can go up to 20lbs, go with the mentioned tensions. Warm up, use light tension for 5 minutes in bundled tension for each direction (left then right), switch to moderate bundled tension for 10 to 15 each bundled/twisting direction, and switch up to high tension (ONLY WHEN YOU'RE CONDITIONED) for 5 minutes each bundled/twisting direction. Once done, switch back down to light tension for as long as possible. If you need to run off somewhere, wrap up or sleeve up your penile shaft.
