What kind of gel or conductor does this device need? I&acute;ve heard that some RF devices need water OR oil based conductors.

ultrasound gel is the best conductor for this type of device. it helps to glide the device, prevent zaps or burns, and helps to hydrate the skin. you should be well hydrated internally b4 tx. so drints lots of water &lt;8 to 10 glasses&gt;.

Does it really matter? The device is meant to burn skin. If you are going to use it on something else, then you're better off with a soldering iron. The tip of the device is thinner than a paper clip.

Yes. There is something called Conductive Aloe Vera Gel, and apparently it's available from a company called ojmedical. Aloe vera is rather gelatinous as it is, and not sure if this gel is just aloe vera or with additives. Anyway, sounds like a perfect alternative to the drying and gloppy regular gels used to improve conduction and lessen friction.

The gel! It's made out of something that stays cool. There may be a more technical answer somewhere else.

Mk are gel. Need a 5 amp or 7 amp to charge gel cell and is for gell u can use Agm sealed a pronto 51 are 35 amp battery the charger u used was too small

I use the gel on the pads for a bone stimulator and a tens unit. I get a lot more wear from the pads using this. A single tube lasts a long time. I have even used the gel on pads where the adhesive had all come off and it works!

The gel is not technically cold. The idea behind gel is that it disperses your body heat, so it keeps you from getting overly hot. Most materials hold heat, but gel is one of the few that doesnt.

A gel must be used only when used in sonic mode. Aloe gel will work. No gel is needed when used in photon (light) mode.

The unit runs only by electricity. I don't know anything about Gel Polish...never used it.

I haven't used any of the conductive gel yet. I purchased extra pads instead.

Thanks for your response. I'm thinking it's more than distilled water. If the product is at all a 'gel', it will take more than water to make it so.

I'm using coconut oil, it's better than the gel. Olive oil may be also used. The best of these 2 oils: They're natural and contain no mineral oils.

Unless there is a definite need for Silicone Based Lubes I waould use water based. This product does not state but I would play it on the safe side. Thanks, Bob Bestway

The device is unlikely to be damaged. Conductors present in these devices are simply too short to intercept any significant amount of the EM pulse, and thus no spike is generated within them that is sufficient to cause damage.

I'm not sure. The stuff I bought works very well but was designed for it. My friend had one that used diesel so my guess is that yes, probably need an oil based product, if water based you would make steam...right?

I don't think body heat is the important thing, it's body capacitance. I'm no electrical engineer and at first I thought how it was held would make no difference, but I tried holding it with a folded up cloth and it did seem to not work after the first couple of pokes. Interesting. However, for a buck I would give it a try.

I bought this wire last year. I used a direct bury waterproof connector similar to a Dryconn connector. Any hardware store or box store should have them. I picked mine up at Home Depot. The connectors have silicone inside of them. Make sure you have a good wire stripper since the wire jacket is thick.
