Hey guys, I've recently started using Quick extender pro ( am currently in the 30hr phase of the "adaptation" period), and have ran into some questions about it. Hopefully someone can answer them.

1. How do I set up the tension rods exactly? I had thought I was simply supposed to twist the screws at the base of the QEP, but I can also hear the springs moving when I twist the two parts that connect to the glans support, so now I'm unsure.

2. How can I be sure I'm getting tension? I mean I compress the QEP, strap in and let go, and I can feel a pull/stretch, but is that all I'm supposed to feel?

3. I'm not understanding the 3 lines on the connecting rods. I've read elsewhere on this forum that when compressing the device should go done to the first (ie closest to the base) line, but even fully compressed it only goes just past the second (middle) line, and after it goes back past the third (farthest from base) line. BTW I only have in to of the .2 small rod additions (as per the adaptation guide), so is that the problem or am I doing it wrong entirely?

Thanks in advance!

You definitely want to get through the acclimation steps first before doing anything else. The tension rods should be able to compress all the way to the third line (line closest to the base). I had the same problem with mine and I had to disassemble the tension rod spring housing and remove some metal burrs left behind by the machining process that were preventing it from compressing all the way.

The three lines are to provide a (very) rough idea of how much tension is being applied to your penis when the springs are compressed. I have the 4000g springs and compressing the tension rods down to the first line is about 1000g of tension. I personally do not ever compress the springs more than that.

Some people will tell you that you should not use the screws at the base of the QEP. I personally disagree with that. I find it to be 100% necessary to use them. First thing you will want to do is use some locktite to secure the threaded rods to the base. This will prevent the threaded rods from unscrewing from the base while you are using it. You don't need to worry about hearing the springs when unscrewing the rods, that is 100% normal when you are strapped in.

I think most guys are what is called a 'grower', the problem with using an extender when you are a grower is that your penis will often need to stretch more than you are able to when getting strapped in and compressing the tension rods at the same time. The screws at the bottom allow you to extend the tension rods so that your penis can stretch to it's max flaccid stretched length (MFSL).

Thanks for responding with such a detailed post! Just want to clarify a few things.

1. How would I go about dissembling the tension rods and is it that difficult? I mean I'm not that "engineering" inclined and don't want to mess up the device?

2. I did have a problem with one of the rods unscrewing from the base so I can see the benefits. However, I'm not familiar with locktite: what exactly is it, and how would I use it to secure the threaded rods?

3. So basically strap yourself in first, then extend the tension rods? OK. Also, stupid question: how do you know you've reached your MFSL? When it hurts or what?

1. I'll see if I can take and upload some pics showing how to do it.

2. Locktite is a thread locking compound. It's a liquid that you apply to the threads and then screw the threaded rods into the base and allow to dry.

3. Finding your MFSL is pretty easy, you just need to pay attention and you'll want to do this when laying down, not seated or standing. Get yourself strapped in, if the springs are not compressed at all then unscrew the tension rods a little so that the springs compress just a little (maybe half way to the first mark). Wait 5-10 minutes and see if the springs have decompressed and gone back to the 'zero' compression state. Repeat until you get to the point where you are completely flaccid and the springs remain compressed after 5-10 minutes...that will be your MFSL. During this time you will want to actively work on relaxing the pelvic muscles so that you stay in a completely flaccid state, relaxation breathing exercises are great for this.

Follow the video, its a great start. After about a month you will get the gist of it.

Not meant to hijack thread, but I also have a question: phallosan plus manual tells me to set the rods 5cm over my flaccid length. But they don't specify if it's stretched flaccid.

if it's 5cm then I believe they mean just flaccid, NOT stretched flaccid. Keep in mind though, that it just a starting point. You may fine you need to increase or decrease.

This might be a simpler solution to try first...remove the glans support and then compress one tension rod at a time. Compress it until it stops and then twist the tension rod clockwise while keeping it compressed. See if that allows the springs to compress all the way.

Thank you. It's just that my flaccid is very irregular (grower) but well...

That's one of the benefits of the QEP...you can extend the tension rods by turning the thumb screws at the bottom. I'm a grower also and it's impossible to stretch enough when initially getting strapped into the QEP.

OK tried your idea and, while I can get the rods to compress a bit more when I twist them (BTW I'm twisting the "top" part, but the base screws), neither compress down to the "first" line.

Also, am having a problem: when I extend the left rod past a certain point it unscrews from the base. I'm assuming that's were the locktite comes in?

Here's how to disassemble the stension rod.

1. unscrew the spring housing

2. remove the spring

3. slide the outer casing down and inspect, clean if necessary

4. slide the outer casing up and look inside for anything that might need to be cleaned out

5. reassemble

OK got the locktite but have discovered a new problem (sigh). So I took apart both rods to see if there was any problems like you said and there doesn't seem to be any problems. However, I've now realized that the left rod's internal screw won't move at all. I completely unscrewed it from the base and even tried to turn it with pliers. Nothing. Am really starting to wonder if I should contact customer support.

I didn't follow their way.. I went at it with the most bars as long as I could until my penis said he had enough then I scaled the length and put him back in after heating and massaging and jelqing in between..

It sounds like you might have gotten Locktite on the threads that go into the tension rod. When you applied the locktite to the thread and screwed it into the base, did you allow it to dry before screwing the tension rod back on to the threaded rod? Heat is required to be able to break the bond.

I haven't used the locktite yet, so it can't be that. I took some pics of what the device is doing, as I'm not sure I'm describing it well. Apologizes for the weird angles, my laptop keeps reverting the format.

This is what the device looks like now, without any tension rods screwed out.

This is what the right tension rod looks like extended.

This is what the left rod does when I try to extend it. The screw unscrews from the base instead of from the rod.

This is a pic of both rods extended as much as they will, and attached to the base.

I think there's a problem with the left rod (ie its jammed or something) but I have no clue how to go about fixing it.

Yeah, I would definitely contact the manufacturer about it then.
