My teens had one today and were playing around shocking each other. I had never experience on before and tried it what a tingle after a little pain and involuntary movement if felt kinda good tingly and glowing. I ended up zapping myself about ten times. Strange thing e was two other people liked it too anyone else have any experience with them. Needless to say my pain centers are screwed up to the piont I like the feeling of a hammer to the knee too

I want one.
-
I do too now

You and PMS Elle woulkd make a good team.
Her the sadist, and you the masochist. ;) :LOL:

Cheap ones feel cool, expensive ones on the other hand, you don't really feel anything until you regain consciousness.

Don't tase me bro.
-
Sounds like fun. :)

Never heard of toy stun guns, but I'm another person who enjoys or at least doesn't mind the sensation of mild to moderate electric currents. Electric cattle fences are too big a jolt for me, but I accidentally zapped my hand with some 240VAC a couple of weeks ago while working on a broken water pump, and the shock was just about at the upper threshold of what I could take without too much discomfort, however I've no idea what the amperage was, since it depends on how conductive my skin was at the time and how good the contact was. If I used electrode pads and conductive gel with 240V AC, it would be a different story.
I've got a circular scar on my right arm that looks like a cigarette burn, which I got while experimenting with passing electric currents through my brain. I was using 20mA at 24VDC, which produced a barely noticeable tingle/itch, but I left the electrodes on for too long on one of my attempts, and when I removed them, there was a purple circle where the cells had been killed through the full thickness of the skin on my arm, and some smaller marks on my forehead from milder burns. The burn on my arm turned into a pit with a scabby bottom and sides when my phagocytes removed the necrotic tissue, and the skin slowly regrew from the edges over the course of the next couple of months.

Probably works like a TENS unit, just maybe higher voltage. :laugh:

I've found it depends on the type of voltage. DC tends to be more painful than AC.
No matter the voltage, it's the current that will get you.

My gran used to grab the electric cattle fence. She said it helped her a lot with her rheumatic pains. That was before it was high voltage though. She was a bit odd. :green:

Some electric fences, especially homemade ones are just a constant current, sometimes low voltage, sometimes standard mains voltage (but less strong due to impedance in the wire). The ones you have to watch out for are the store bought ones where a capacitor inside the controller charges up and sends out a strong current. On these ones, there can be almost no constant current, but when something conductive in contact with the ground (an animal for example) touches the wire), it suddenly puts out a pulse in the area of a thousand volts.
The older ones where it's just a constant current aren't so bad in certain areas since the impedence in the wire significantly cuts down on the voltage as you go further from the source.
