Evotion #8 With Steel PA Prong (NSFW)

We had an extra lower portion from when he initially sent it to me with the wrong gauge PA.

So we did this:




The nylon PA prong is the primary downfall for these Evotion devices. Though it's bothered me less and less as my piercing has matured, I still think it would be nice if they were able to find a way to make them steel.

If she and I can do it, I'd imagine he could to.

It looks rough at the base there where the ring we used is attached, but it's actually pretty smooth. And very small. I've got it on now and it feels fine. We'll see if it proves bothersome.

 

It's funny you said that. We did exactly that before we decided to bend the CBR and steel epoxy it to the base.

Cut the PA prong as close to the base as you can. Drill straight through what's left. You'll be left with a perfect hole for your gauge. The attach the bottom to the top, mark the top portion of the cage by marking it through the hole left you made in the bottom portion. Drill it and you've got a perfectly alliggned hole through the entire thing.

I realize that doesn't leave you a proper way to really lock the CBR. But it holds it on. And some nail polish on the CBR ball made it "tamper evident".

Any way. You get the idea. You can do it you just have to sacrifice the bottom portion you have now. If you want to replace it you send him 40$ or $50 or whatever it is and he'"" remake it. That's on thing that's made Evotion nice. I've got several rings, one with an extension to effectively lengthen the cage without me having to buy new cage section pieces.

 

@Thatgirl just told me what happened with your piercing and I read the thread. That's a serious bummer and I'm sorry that happened. Taking it in and out was an issue until not too long ago, and I'm at 6 months in. I still had trouble with any jewelry that wasn't tapered to smooth point the way the CBRs are. But it's recently become a lot easier and I seem to be able to take my time without it closing back up. A cage that let you keep it on would definitely be cool, but more and more I'm finding that I can pop whatever I have in it out and put whatever else in without much fuss. I forget how old yours was, but if that's what got you thinking about a device that lets you keep it on, I would just say don't pay an arm and a leg for it because at some point you probably won't see it is all that necessary.

Let me know though what he says. And if you go for it I DEFINITELY will be curious to see it.

 

DEFINTIYLY keep lots of extras. Just through trying different diameters and materielas we have a baggie full of stuff in a pinch. Even kept the 8g ones we started with.

I concur with your prediction about stressing the PA that way. I too go from pretty small to somewhere around 7 and the problem of being compressed into the Evotions with the ring was that it made it so snug around the shaft that I ended up with some edema. It was just too tight. Nowhere for fluid to go. But then ringless it was almost too loose in circumference as it hung and narrowed me out.

With the PA in and with some added length, even the slight pressure of anchoring it against shrinkage will defintiyly cause issues. Especially with a piercing that's not very mature - I know couldn't leave mine in like that for long at all. I actually had a tiny bit of blood when I did. Theoretically the cage is grabbing at the corona of the glans to ease that pressure but there's still enough to be an issue.

Got to find that happy medium. That's why instead of orderin different cage lengths over and over I opted to have him add several mm to the portion of the ring that interlocks with the cage. Effectively adding length (and tons of gap, which I personally need anyway). At the cost of the rings you can try a few and once you nail the length perffftly for you, you can then order an entire cage using the new measurement as reference.

I am having Titaniumchastiti make me up a device which I suspect will be awesome. But in the meantime I continue to fine tie this one. It's just about perfect - hopefully this new extender ring makes things right with the edema. If not I'll determine that I can't use snug "ringless" type cages (ring or no ring). Thats why for Ti I went with the more Jailbird style offering of his rather than the snug sheets style. Safer bet for me. But 4" sounds WAY long if you really do shrink up as much as you say. You'll definitely want that pressure to not be entirely taken up by the PA.

We too were not terribly patient along the way with the PA. Tried (and continued to try too often) sex too soon, tried the PA cage too soon. And just generally haven't been that easy on it. My recommendation would be to find a good non-pa cage that you can wear with your piercing for a while. For us it was that Chinese one. Though cheap, if all else failed I would be just fine with that cage going forward. I actually sent Ti one so he could try to emulate its key qualities for me but of course with the addition of the PA. If you do that it will be easier to be patient with the piercing PLUS you won't have to take the ring out for play time, while it's toughening up.
