As I understood it and can best explain it, she said they will put out the desired voltage at first but with each pulse gain in intensity. The result was that soon the voltage was accumulating and cooking the flesh (microwaving?). Only the Pantheon machines made a clean stop at the end of each pulse and reset itself before putting out the next. It thus had a consistent voltage to each. doug > As for burn marks, I've never run into this. My e-stim unit uses a > 9-volt battery.

Non of the chinese devices i have seen use DC. Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
