There’s a lot but I’ll try to keep it brief. I also have a Launch (full sized version) so that’s my main point of reference.
Pros:
Quiet. Motor barely discernible during use.
Heavy:
Major con as well, but the pro side is if you place this onto a tabletop with a rubberized pad or something underneath it, it won’t move. Which is why I actually bought it because I thought it would be nice for some VR use with “fucked on the desktop” or “standing oral” action.
Functions:
The built-in functions are actually fairly realistic. The deep throat feels like a deep throat, with appropriate levels of going deep/shallow, good pattern routines. Same for all Theo their modes. They “feel’ realistic.
Interactivity:
Good luck with that. I have the Bluetooth dongle thing but can’t get it to work at all. I’m assuming this wouldn’t be an issue for you guys.
Cons: Inserts:
These things are junk for texture/feeling. Way, way too soft. And because of how the machine works, the first 2” or so is basically just an open orifice and even for an average-built guy I found myself feeling like I was fucking a woman who had given birth six times. Just not a lot of friction on the head or frenulum, which is the most sensitive for many guys. And cleaning is a fucking chore. These are close ended, like most Japanese toys, so you’ll find it difficult to get all your jizz out of there, and you can’t turn them inside/out due to the rigid ‘rails’ that are attached to these for use with the machine. As a result, even if you CAN get them clean (I suggest using rubbing alcohol), they will take DAYS to air out since there’s no real way to get air through them. Royal fucking PITA. But the real reason these just don’t do the job is the operation of the machine.
Operation:
Here’s the crux of the issue with this device. The motor is quiet, but it’s also not very strong, and the mechanism is designed in such a way that they expect you to keep your rock-hard Johnson perfectly stationary for the duration of use. That’s just not practical. You are going to want to thrust, even if only gently, and that totally fucks with the machine. This issue is compounded by the problem of the opening being 2” or so of just “opening” before you get to the texture, and you’ll find yourself wanting to push in a bit more to get to the good bits of the throat of the sleeve. But once you do, you likely will find the machine stalling out. Even with very super light thrusting with my FINGER, I’d force the machine into “fault” state. That’s likely for two reasons: First, because the motor just isn’t that strong. But second, the sleeve ‘carrier’ is held in place via simple magnets. And since the sleeves are close ended, you’ll be building up some suction if you are even averaged sized, meaning it’s natural for you to create some pull when you try to thrust back even the slightest bit. Doing so dislodges the magnets, which (I think) cuts off the motor as a fault state. Really stupid-assed design. So this negates the entire principle of using it while it sits on its flat side as a “fucking/oral while standing” machine. Just can’t handle any thrusting at all.
The second major issue with the design is that if you use it like the Launch (and like it’s shown in the manual), it’s HEAVY. That can be of benefit if you want to try and drape a blanket over it, or prop it against a pillow between your legs while use (I have done both). But then, see above.....once you put that kind of pressure against the machines motions, you’ll more than likely cause it to error out. CONSTANTLY. So even in this position (lying down) you’ll have to remain VERY still and, at least for me, I had to literally hold it in a “hover mode” just above the root of my unit so it didn’t bind up. Being heavy, this isn’t very comfortable, and if you are wearing VR gear while trying to use the goddamn thing, its awkward as hell and very unsatisfying.
Finally the utter design of this thing is just kind of a massive strike against it. On the Launch, you accomplish the stroking feeling by basically having the machine (manually or programmatically) ‘pump’ up and down your shaft. Due to how Fleshlight inserts work, this more or less allows you enjoy as much of the insert texture as you have length to get to it. Want to enjoy the milder sensations on your head? No worry, just don’t go deep. Want to feel the tighter sensations? Go deeper. So when using the Launch, the shallow/deep strokes can simulate this against the VR movements. It’s a natural fit.
With this beast though, it works by basically stretching the insert up and down your shaft, not by moving the texture up and down the shaft. Imagine grabbing a rubber band and holding it firmly at the halfway point. Now with other hand, pull the rubber band, still holding onto the midpoint firmly. See how the one side fo the rubber band remains totally flaccid/floppy but the other end stretches long? That’s exactly what this thing does. So the sensation on your head (if inserted shallowly) or your shaft (if deeper insertion) is going to be mostly very loose, with the only “stroking” happening on half your penis. Get a bit annoyed with the chick when she just mouths your cock rather than sucking on it? Yeah...me too. Try paying $600 for a toy that annoys you like this BY FUCKING DESIGN.
I could go on and on but ultimately, this thing is crap. Really disappointed with it and feel totally stupid for blowing $700 for the unit and a couple of the more “extreme” inserts to try and make it work. Flashlights by themselves are superior to this rig, and the Launch + VR scripts make it so much more enjoyable despite all the hassles of getting a script, rigging up a second Android/iOS device to control the thing, etc. I’ll do it just because the experience is worth the hassle. But this thing? Interesting tech, shows some promise, but terrible design of the unit itself as well as the inserts = massive fail.
Hope this helps.
Just for clarity, THIS is the Vorze A10 Piston SA device I’m talking about.
There are other Vorze A10 devices and while I don’t have those for comparison, I’d be shocked to learn they are any better than this one.
