PES vs. Folsom Box

From: beachbum
I have both PES and Folsom units. PES is great, and I
have had very good experience with the manufacturer - Quite frankly, I have
literally burned out a couple units, and they replaced the parts at no charge.
The sensations were much better, too. I use it on AC, with a battery inserted
just as a "line filter" to avoid spikes in the line voltage with could have
nasty results. Folsom, on the other hand, produced only weak and UNstimulating
results - though I suppose it was unstimulating because I was comparing
it to the PES unit. But, it also burned out in less than a month, and I
could get no one to repair it. So, now its sits idle - a reminder of the
$300 I shelled out for a piece of junk.
As for the PES accessories - they used to make Lucite rings with a conducive interior. A bit tough to fit, but more conductive than what they now offer - conductive rubber rings. The advantage of the latter is the fit - they fit *great*, and its much easier to make good contact. However, I use the Lucite rings most times, for maximum effect. I have actually worn away the conductive coating, and restored it with rear-window defogger repair paint, available in all auto stores. I never bought any Folsom accessories - no need. I have lots from PES.
