I didn't bother contacting TD, especially after I opened up the unit to see if I could fix it myself   I ended up buying a Pure Hip which should come in the next few days since that was my 2nd choice when I picked up the A10.  Thanks for the suggestion though buddy.

Mine broke last week!  Something to do with the motor, it's grinding inside - as if the gears aren't locking.  I took it apart and you can't get the gear open to fix it.  Sad times...

Ouch! Sorry to hear it broke  If it was me, I'd cut the gear box open and try to fix it, that thing is expensive, I can't believe you spent almost $250 for it!  Would you buy another one?

they don't make rechargeable C cells do they? 

They do make rechargeable C batteries:

$10 each, but still worth it, they recharge up to 1000 times.

 

Station_2009, Great idea.
I had about 3/4 of my cyclone fleshlight left over from when I made it shorter, it basically fits inside the standard insert perfectly but I have cut some excess off the fleshlight to make it thinner due to the expansion when I insert my penis... I originally tried it your way where I used nothing to attach the two together but found that eventually the lube leaks out the top and just rotates around the fleshlight.   I tried hot glue, it works for a good 1 time and I applied it sparingly trying not to melt either product (oddly it seems to take a lot to melt either or, perhaps its just mine)....
I am looking for more of a perm fix so I am about to attempt to place a condom kinda in it and around it and tie it behind it, its that or I might try aquarium silicone, I tried to do some research on types of adhesives for the flashlight or the rends but came up dry.  I do know that the fleshlight cyclone insert inside of this makes it unbelievable. I wish i had a sample swatch of both materials to try different things on, preferably those safe for human contact.

Did you try soldering the two ends closed?

If I bought another one I would probably do it next year, the R1+A10+all sleeves+lube+the cost of batteries weekly on top of the Pure Hip coming in has been eating a lot of money up lol.  While I loved the A10, I was spending a lot on batteries and would surely look into rechargables if I got one in the future, thanks for the info on that.  I believe I can open up the gear, the problem is the magnetic/metal play on the top of the rotor that spins the attachments.  It appears to be hooked inside the plastic and getting that off has been to problem.  The gears inside are the issue without a doubt, they got stripped when I was using the diamond attachment.  If I could get off that piece and look into finding another rotor I'd do that, right now it's too much effort.  Sucks this happened, I miss being able to sit here at home working and enjoy some pampering   I really wish there was a way around the import/taxes shipping to Canada - TD, you need a Canadian outlet!

Hey station_2009,

I had the same issue shortly after I got mine back in Jan (I think). It seemed like one of the gears in the motor house was slipping. I contacted TD and sent them back the motor assembly and have not had an issue since. For some reason I think it had something to do with me not having enough spacers thus the gears just could not take it? I dunno.

Recently I had to take mine apart because the top metal plate on the motor that spins was becoming loose.... I don't explain things too well but Ill try to do my best to explain in case it happens to anyone else...

You have the 4 screws on the motor assembly on the outside but the part where the metal plate is also has 2 screws under it... You must rotate the metal plate (dont force it by hand use the controler it just takes some time) and you will eventually line up the hole in the metal plate with each screw, remove those two screws and the 4 outside screws and then you can finally take it apart.... Now that metal plate part has a hole on the side of it with a tiny screw that keeps it in place, the screw is kinda on the side of the plastic, there is no way to get to it unless you take apart the whole unit... I simply just tightened that tension screw and put it back together...  This isnt a fix for the gear slipping issue but it will at least get you inside of it if you wanna take a look yourself, but I would suggest contacting TD first.

The battery consumption is insane I must agree, I originally thought it was rather good, but I am often on meds for my back that basically allow me to get hard but it sometimes takes forever to cum,. Needless to say I should buy the rechargeable ones.  There are a few types, you have the Energizer rechargeable C batts + charger or you can look online and get a much better rechargeable batt, problem is the nicer ones will cost you.   I really wish like in my original post way back when that they would have given it the ability to plug into the laptop USB for power... If I had the extra cash to look into it I would experiment, the power is pretty much the same, I think the PC puts out a little more juice actually so you would need a resistor or what not.

Anyways hope it helps and Hope its not too late.

Here is an improvement anyone can do if they want to...

After use I hate cleaning the spacers, you have to unscrew each and every one because fluids always seem to get in between and then I always have to wait for them to dry because I'm not gonna pull out Q-tips to get in between each and every nook. So here is what I did...

What you will need:
Hot Glue gun
Hot Glue sticks

Normally your gonna use X amount of spacers, I use 4 myself and you also have that clear cushion thing and the clear tube part....
I don't think people change how many of the spacers they use but if you do then you probably wont want to do this mod.

Anyways.... Assemble your spacers and the clear cushion thing, DO NOT attach the Clear tube part.... Take your hot glue gun and fill in the little gapes between each spacer on the inside, just fill it enough so you will have a smooth finish on the inside all the way around... I personally didnt do anything with the last spacer that attaches to the clear tube part but I am thinking about it....
It also seems to help keep the clear cushion in place better, the clear cushion leaves a small space you will need to clean out but its not as bad as having to disassemble every spacer.

So basically when I am done and I need to clean I just unscrew the block of spacers that are now glued together from the clear tube, pop out the clear cushion, rinse with hot water, rinse with a splash of rubbing alcohol, dry and reassemble....  Much better in my mind.

Sorry if my instructions kinda suck I am a bad teacher as I have said before, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message and Ill try to explain things better. I wish I had a Digi cam so I could have taken photos of each step.


**UPDATED** Go slow with the Hot glue, even if it looks and sometimes feels cool on the surface the glue under it is typically still hot so when you do this keep rotating it for a while so the glue will set into place without dripping down, etc.... Also after I finished with the gaps, I layer a small layer on top of it, had a cup of ice water and would smooth out the last layer with my wet finger to make it uniform and sealed... I did this without burning myself because my finger was wet and I re-wet it several times, I also did it in stages.... It probably depends on what type of Hot glue gun you have (how hot it gets) and what type of glue sticks you have... Just don't blame me if you get burned.

hi

just want to know if anyone has used the attachement  of the roller fella with the  r- controller. if anyone has used this can you please tell me if this feels like an actual chick giving a blow job feeling. someone said it feels like licking not suction. obviously RENDS who make  the cyclone state that its like a real blow job feeling like . anyone used this and what feeling do you get.

also i want to purchase this and do you all think, if you have one of these if its worth all the money spend . is it worth all  money as its very dear. i also hope it lasts. i had a tenga flip hole and that gave way after  a couple of months . not that i even used it that often . the silicon came lose and  began rip in small shredds . i realy dont rate the tenga. just wondering if the same thing would happen to the inserts of this as i have heard its made of a similar material. any thoughts guys
thanks

Hi guys,

I'm really 'close' to purchasing this toy. I'm actually disabled so it would be great for me. I was wandering, how are you guys finding the battery life with this? I hear its not too great so I'm having doubts cos its a lot of spend if I find the battery life to be poor. Let me know how your finding it. Cheers guys.

[scullysmine]

Just a quick update for you all...

Rends has released new attachments for the R1 cyclone, the Snake cup (Google it).
And the "Piston" is due for release early next year.

Great purchase, and a great product.

I would recommend this to all people looking for a hands free solution, with the bang that's required. (It's pricey but well worth it..)

The Standard "Medusa" cup that comes standard is so far the best attachment, the rolling fella is a bit weak but will keep you entertained.
The battery life ain't so good if you get shitty batteries, so get Heavy duty, Long life alkaline, you'll get more times to enjoy it without replacing.

I hope to god they do a USB powered attachment, as it would be cheaper to run it in the long term.

No mods yet to mine so far, it's been too good on it's own. you'll likely need that spacer set to alleviate the pressure on the unit, and the batteries have to work harder if it's too tight.

this is truely a hands free product, that does exactly what it says. If you find yourself getting bored, I'd be surprised, as it has 44 functions on the controller, and you always find one that works.

Store it well, use lots of lubricant (I mean that!), and buy attachments for your partner or wife, cause they are really good. Cleaning is easy, and I hope you consider this as positive feedback on this product.

Indeed scullysmine, I cant wait for the snake cup looks amazing, they are really kicking it into full gear with the creativity at Rends, I would like to know when TD will get the snake cups for us.  Sadly I need to purchase a new A10, this is the second one that broke, granted I am a little rough on them, I really wish they were releasing an updated model of the A10 too, its great but like I said before the battery life is horrid, especially for people who use the thing for a hour a two, sometimes longer. I recently found the page for spingasm and its similar to the A10 except its for the Flesh light and sex in a can series, it also looks difficult to use hands free, I suppose creative people will build something... But getting to my point, it has a rechargeable battery inside it, granted all of us could go out and buy C size rechargeable batts and the charger.

If anyone has any info on the Piston please post it, I can only guess it will thrust up and down and hopefully spin, and I have only seen one photo.

[ToyDemon]

Snake Pressure will be available later. It was not ready when we had our shipments. We have to wait for the next shipment which will not get here for quite some time. "A10 Piston" will be pump action and unfortunately will not spin.

*added: A10 Piston will also be quieter than A10 Cyclone.

[station_2009]

Any links, pics, or vids of this A10 Piston?  I can't find anything on the net.

Oh and I ended up just buying another A10 Cyclone after my previous one died on me - one of the best toys I've ever enjoyed

[ToyDemon]

Unfortunately it is still really early and everything is still top secret for now. A10 Piston's scheduled release date will likely be summer of 2011.

[station_2009]

Great thanks, keep us updated

[station_2009]

Has anyone tried the new Snake Pressure Cup?  Not sure if this would be a good toy for someone that's really thick just like the diamond attachment.  Any thoughts?

[bry82]

Just curious if anyone has tried the Cyclone Freestyle Cup Insert and what their thoughts were.
