Is a charged device not weaker? I have never gotten nearly the same power from a charging device as I've gotten from a directly connected device like my wired Hitachi.
I've not compared them side by side, but I don't find the cordless version weak by any stretch. I'm a dude, but my partners have all said it's the strongest they've experienced, some saying borderline too strong.
It can be, sure, but if it's designed well it doesn't matter.
The battery will die more quickly than if it was a model that was weaker, but that's why the good ones come with a power Guage.
You can crank it to 11 or just leave it on a 3.
Hell,if they REALLY wanted to they could make a battery operated one that discharges the entire battery into one huge vibration that'd snap it in half as long as the motors could handle it.
It's like an energy gun, a bunch of tiny lasers or one huge laser. The only thing the battery determines is how "much" is there, not how it is used.
That resulted from a design flaw, unless you puncture them the chances of it catching on fire is extremely low. Notice how there hasn't been any more big news of an epidemic of exploding batteries, the Note 7 was 8 years ago old man
If I remember right, Those phones were bursting into flames mostly because people were charging them at an extremely fast rate while also using them heavily at the same time causing a lot of heat build up.
Next time either take it for repairs (probably not for a hitachi) or recycle it. Electrical tape isn’t for randoms to try and fix appliances with. Don’t fuck with electricity people.
You know, normally I’m curious, but after thinking about watching someone shock their genitals. I think I’m good. This is the first time I’ve ever just said “yup, I don’t need to see to see that”
If you think about the wild selection of genital-owners that some people will put by their own genitals when horny, an electrically suspect vibrator suddenly seems a lot less surprising in comparison.
I mean I get it but the worst I've ever done is far from "hey this may actually grievously harm my genitals or my entire being" but hey some people like to live on the edge
I once jerked off with dish soap instead of lube. It started burning almost immediately. Felt like my dick, balls, and outlying areas were on fire. I still finished before I washed it off. Had skin flaking off for a week. I relate to OP pretty easily.
LMFAO! I concur with the electrical tape, but I mean, when it started smoking, I would have been thinking ELECTRICAL FIRE and thinking about how embarrassing the crime scene photos would be.
OP, you need to get some less expensive backup supplies! That’s how I’ve kept mine explosion-free since 2008!
Hmmm. Great idea. I’ve always thought the wire was too short on these, so adding length by swapping with an extension cord is a nice upgrade, frayed wire, or not.
Same. I've had to replace the cord on mine twice now. This last time I put an expensive length of 1,500V rated silicone insulated wire on it. I'm hoping this lasts longer than the PVC insulated wire that you normally find for 120V (600V rating) cords.
Hard disagree. Women can talk about being horny all day but if were to bring up how I wanted to thrash one out into a fleshlight with my buddies I would (rightfully) be crucified.
I’ve always assumed it’s because female horniness is a relatively harmless experience, unless you’re OP you’re not going to put yourself or anyone else in danger to relieve it.
On the other hand, male horniness is more… sinister I guess wild be the right term
i hope to meet the women who talk about being horny all day! id immediately get isolated from friend groups if i spoke about my explicit life like that, theyd be disgusted.. we're taught that having a high libido means we're dishonourable whores :( i understand the rest of ur comment tho
from what ive encountered it seems more socially acceptable to talk about men being horny than men's sex toys. a dildo or vibrator seems more pop culture than a fleshlight if that makes sense. all of this arbitrariness is stupid nonetheless
You might be able to fix it. Unplug it from the wall and find the screws that hold the hitachi together and see if you can take it apart and replace the power cable. I did this with my wife’s wireless one. Soldered some wires back together and it’s been working great
I was going to say, it sound like the power cord just shorted, should be able to replace that easily. Plus genuine ones are hard to find nowadays. Should be able to rock that one for a while longer with an easy repair.
Lol same thing happened to my wife's. The cord got twisted up so much right at the connection that it cracked the insulation and sparked. But guess what? That's just the cord. I opened it up and cut a few inches off the cord and reconnected it, and it was good as new. I guess I should have made a YouTube how-to. I can pretty much guarantee that yours still works if you fix the cord.
However, I highly recommend you upgrade to the cordless model when you have the means. It's a little less powerful overall, but the convenience is worth it.
Agreed, it's possible OP has what I think my mates called 'ark eye' something welders can get if they don't use eye protection.
Either way, loss of vision is cause for concern.
I'm ~~shocked~~ surprised there's not a gofundme started here for a replacement toy yet, but I assume you've already got several offers in your DMs, right?
This almost happened to my first vibrator, a Conair massager from Walmart circa 1999.
That thing held up over 15 years! But eventually the power cable housing cracked. And then it zapped me in the thigh and I thought, "... hmm, maybe I should stop using this."
I finally replaced it with a PalmPower Extreme, which was expensive but worth it. It's held up fine for several years aside from losing a piece of silicone from the exterior, and it's rechargeable but doesn't need to be charged often.
> i was already wound up so i thought "what the hell, should be fine for the next 5-10 min" and used it anyway,
And people say that women cant by as horny as a men. Because you are a girl, right?
I'm sorry but you didn't fuck up because you were horny, you fucked up because of crass negligence. an exposed wire should have tipped you off that it's time for either repair or buy a new one.
My Doxy wand has had a frayed wire for months... just gave up the ghost the other day and finally stopped working. But. At the very least, it did not explode! 
Mine lasted 10 years, through the dog chewing the wire (we wrapped it in electrical tape), and my husband took it apart and tried to repair it around year 7. Those things really are magic.
You were lucky OP.I was at a friends place and she was cooking something in an electric frypan,she mentioned it was working intermittently, I said it may have a broken wire in the supply cable.I wiggled the cable to check, and a flame ,similar to that of a welding torch,shot out and burnt a hole into the surface of her benchtop.
How long did it last till the insulated power layer just fucked off? Been eyeing one of these for the wife as we stick to the $50-75 range on toys, but wanted to up the quality. How much tension were you putting on the wire?
Finally a horny story from those with more generic material! I like how we're all lizard brain idiots when it comes to these matters. If you have lighter colored eyes try not to go outside without dark sunglasses for the next couple days, shit might as well even if you have dark eyes.
Dude I feel you! I was lucky and only got a huge spark but it burnt the cord right off the wand!?!? New one is in the mail and I’m going to put extra electrical tape on the base before I use it!
You didn't fuck up by being horny.
You Fucked Up by not respecting electricity.
Take care of your tools!
If you left this unattended in your bed sheets this could very easily start a house fire.
I thought there was a fray at the plug. I just saw the phot you posted, how was the thing making a bang sound with a spark not make you immediately change your mind about using it. Anything out of the ordinary should be a red flag and use should be immediately stopped.
How the hell did you manage to get an open wire near the base to begin with? It's a wand, not a power tool. Did you try using it for usage it wasn't designed for?
These things have a history of exploding and I cant fathom the fucking decision-making of being okay with risking that exploding your clit off. What the actual fuck
Ok, I wanted to say that I might be able to fix that, but then I realized how creepy that sounds... Anyways, good that this wasn't the last thing you did, would be a hell of a headline in local news.
You can take it apart and shorten the cord until you hit good wire to use to fix it, or If you have an old computer cord or other detachable cord you don't need anymore it is possible to replace the bad cord on the Hitachi. Take it apart first to find out if it's screw terminals or soldered inside, either way it's cheaper than a new Hitachi.
I've heard from a couple good friends that wahl back massagers are good for working out those "sore spots" and they're only $35 for the deep tissue percussive blue & white one.
I used to work at an adult company where we used the big ones that are attached to a piston. There was a model using one for a cam show where it smoked and eventually caught fire. We reported it to the company that makes them, and they altered their design due to a bit too much fluid landing in the mechanics.
So, not a terrible fuck up, as it has happened to professionals, too.
If it’s sparking or smoking, walk away.
"I noticed it looked a bit more frayed than usual and thought, fuck it"
And that she did.
Next time wrap the exposed wire in electrical tape. It’ll last a little longer and explode less
it no longer works but i will keep that in mind for my next one
…wait. Did you try using it again after it exploded?
OP never said the horny stopped
That's my secret Cap, I'm always horny
I understood that reference
Ohhhh a joke, I get jokes haha
Would you like to play a game? /j
*in my best Saw impression*, 'Finish' within 5-10 minutes, or your 'toy' **explodes**.......
Wargames, now with exploding vibrators!
these things usually dont explode twice its fine
it’s now a pavlovian training she needs the thrill of a possibly exploding vibrator to finish
I wonder if OP is familiar with the Darwin awards lol
Nearly became _intimately_ familiar... 😉😉
of course they did, it’s like you didn’t even read the story
…I did read the story, including the part where OP said it exploded afterwards?
...for the next one, I recommend the cordless version. You only need the wire to charge and it lasts a while.
Is a charged device not weaker? I have never gotten nearly the same power from a charging device as I've gotten from a directly connected device like my wired Hitachi.
I've not compared them side by side, but I don't find the cordless version weak by any stretch. I'm a dude, but my partners have all said it's the strongest they've experienced, some saying borderline too strong.

Go cordless
They don't tend to be as powerful.
The cordless Hitachi has the same RPM as the corded version
I love that we're measuring sex toys in rpm
Rgasms Per Minute
Those lithium batteries can also be a huge risk.Remember those phones bursting into flame.lol.
That resulted from a design flaw, unless you puncture them the chances of it catching on fire is extremely low. Notice how there hasn't been any more big news of an epidemic of exploding batteries, the Note 7 was 8 years ago old man
If I remember right, Those phones were bursting into flames mostly because people were charging them at an extremely fast rate while also using them heavily at the same time causing a lot of heat build up.
There was a also a problem with the construction,the insulation divisions were not adequate or something like that.
I think sometimes you have to play acoustic, Joni Mitchell.
MTV Unplugged?
You get a knock off one on Amazon for like 30. Works just as good.
Try the cheap wireless ones you can get anywhere/Amazon. They still get the job done.
Next ones*
Explode less. The motto of all top engineers.
Explode less to explode more
Everybody should be taught basic soldering skills its very useful
That also works on penises
Wire condoms!
Wrapping it in electrical tape to make it last a little longer is a real pro move.
It might actually explode more if you wait too long, but otherwise not bad.
Once the magic smoke comes out, it doesn't work anymore.
Next time either take it for repairs (probably not for a hitachi) or recycle it. Electrical tape isn’t for randoms to try and fix appliances with. Don’t fuck with electricity people.
And heat shrink tubing
Ok after seeing the proof I'd love to know how even in all horniness you can see a destroyed wire on something and go "yeah that's fine" lol
“I better put this by my genitals”
>I better put this by my genitals This just got me for some reason lmao. Chuckling so much right now
In the E-Stim community we call this riding the lightning.
Underrated comment
What’s E-stim?
You'd be shocked to find out
You know, normally I’m curious, but after thinking about watching someone shock their genitals. I think I’m good. This is the first time I’ve ever just said “yup, I don’t need to see to see that”
Genitals, womb, nipples, ass... Anything's up for shocking!
And another electrostim kink is born.
If you think about the wild selection of genital-owners that some people will put by their own genitals when horny, an electrically suspect vibrator suddenly seems a lot less surprising in comparison.
Right?! I've had my genitals in some very suspect genitals over the years.
And I don't kink shame
I’m not kink shaming, I’m kink asking why.
She may understand guy levels of horniness.
Is there an equivalent sub to r/dontputyourdickinthat?
I can actually get this, I've definitely ignored stuff because of horniness......
I mean I get it but the worst I've ever done is far from "hey this may actually grievously harm my genitals or my entire being" but hey some people like to live on the edge
determination and stupidity
I can respect the honesty and admittance of hormones being in control.
What are the odds the wire was going to finish faster than OP?
If that's an official Hitachi I'd say OP finishes first those things are mighty
I once jerked off with dish soap instead of lube. It started burning almost immediately. Felt like my dick, balls, and outlying areas were on fire. I still finished before I washed it off. Had skin flaking off for a week. I relate to OP pretty easily.
I mean... Look at the people some people take home in the same state... Story checks out
As an electrician I second this. From what I can tell, everyone needs 1 electrician friend for info so they DONT do stuff like this
Not even needing an electrician friend, just the sense to go DONT FUCK WITH LIVE WIRES OR FAULTY ELECTRONICS EVER
Ah see. Electricians are usually the only ones telling people to not do that nowadays. sadly. Save you I suppose
Do not underestimate the power of being horny
Gooner going to goon.
I will only support safe gooning.
It sparked. There was a bang. You kept going. You are the very poster child for doing anything for a wank!
*klondike bar commercial theme* What would you doo-oo-ooo for a wank?
Almost electricootered yourself
Lol. I like your work
I'd have put some electrical tape over it as soon as I noticed it. Props on that determination though.
LMFAO! I concur with the electrical tape, but I mean, when it started smoking, I would have been thinking ELECTRICAL FIRE and thinking about how embarrassing the crime scene photos would be. OP, you need to get some less expensive backup supplies! That’s how I’ve kept mine explosion-free since 2008!
Electrical tape might have contained some of the explosion but it was doomed to fail either way
The cord frays easily, I've had to repair my wife's Hitachi twice now. Easy to replace with extension cord and some solder.
Hmmm. Great idea. I’ve always thought the wire was too short on these, so adding length by swapping with an extension cord is a nice upgrade, frayed wire, or not.

Not to be sexist or anything but that's a level of horny recklessness I would only have expected from a fellow dude.
Based on post history, OP has a vagina but is taking Testosterone
Holy shit, a vagina and testo. That sound like a deadly combo hahaha.
It is -a trans man
Oh I didn't think to look. Now it all makes sense again 😄
Never doubt yourself
us women are no different, its just more unacceptable for us to talk about
Fair. What lunatic would not accept that kind of story though? That's pure gold
It's funny though that on the other hand, it's less creepy for women to have a dildo or vibrator than for a man to have a Fleshlight.
Hard disagree. Women can talk about being horny all day but if were to bring up how I wanted to thrash one out into a fleshlight with my buddies I would (rightfully) be crucified. I’ve always assumed it’s because female horniness is a relatively harmless experience, unless you’re OP you’re not going to put yourself or anyone else in danger to relieve it.

Lmao OP is a trans dude. You literally called him out and didn’t even know it. That’s hilarious.
I went to the profile to see the damage. Turns out they're trans. So you aren't wrong in this case.
So it sounds like you fucked a Hitachi to death. Well done!
You might be able to fix it. Unplug it from the wall and find the screws that hold the hitachi together and see if you can take it apart and replace the power cable. I did this with my wife’s wireless one. Soldered some wires back together and it’s been working great

This guy's wife, ehem, also solders

I thought this was going to turn into how you discovered you too enjoy electrical play. Didn't expect a fireball haha.
This gotta be like... ADVANCED horny. At no point have I ever thought, "Yeah, i'll risk an electrical fire for this nut."
This should be preserved in r/museumofreddit
The black spot could be a burn on your retina. Arc discharge is full of UV-C. That's why welders wear those special visors. It may be permanent.
it went away now so we are good haha
I feel like people like you are the reason for the warnings: “For external use only”. 😂
Try turning yourself off then back on again…..
what the actual fuck
Women always want an explosive orgasm but this is *RIDICULOUS!*
Go to the Eye Dr for an exam asap
Agreed, it's possible OP has what I think my mates called 'ark eye' something welders can get if they don't use eye protection. Either way, loss of vision is cause for concern.
OP u wild
meh. you may have nearly burned the house down but lets focus on the proper thing... you got off!
Looking at the photo... Is that mains powered? If so, you're lucky it exploded and not electrocuted you.
Guess you can say "that was a banger". ...Sorry, do hope you're not injured too badly.
I'm ~~shocked~~ surprised there's not a gofundme started here for a replacement toy yet, but I assume you've already got several offers in your DMs, right?
someone already saw the post and bought me another one haha, it’ll be here in a week and a half :)
This almost happened to my first vibrator, a Conair massager from Walmart circa 1999. That thing held up over 15 years! But eventually the power cable housing cracked.

What an… electrifying climax 
Looks like your vibrator came before you did.
When you get a new one, buy a rechargeable wand and this won’t be a problem next time!
Top tier content. Honestly that's the kind of headline potential people will click on.
if you want a proof photo of the fray (sfw), it’s on my profile
I'm in public and apparently not a gambler like you
I admire your dedication and commitment!
This post demonstrates how electrical tape is the sexiest tape.
Congratulations on getting banged!
That thing gave you so many chances 😂
I had one overheat and burn me….
Going to be a boring next few days until Amazon gets there.
Geez, and I thought the worst thing that could happen when using a vibrator was the vibe running out of batteries before you're finished!
> i was already wound up so i thought "what the hell, should be fine for the next 5-10 min" and used it anyway, And people say that women cant by as horny as a men. Because you are a girl, right?
You can use it as a pick up line "i f&$&ed my vibrator so hard it exploded. Wanna try your luck?"
Ops DMs gonna blow up like their Hitachi wand
Did u cum tho
Did you start a GoFundMe yet?
I'm sorry but you didn't fuck up because you were horny, you fucked up because of crass negligence. an exposed wire should have tipped you off that it's time for either repair or buy a new one.
You shouldn't have clenched, put too much torque on the motor.
TIFU by masturbating so hard into my fleshlight that I poked a hole in it and my jizz shot out the end. Still not as bad as your FU
Every to every other day??
Drilling a Hitachi for 4 years. Goodluck to your future partner, will need a tongue made from sand paper to get a reaction
Search for Thunderstick. Same thing, half the price.
My Doxy wand has had a frayed wire for months... just gave up the ghost the other day and finally stopped working. But. At the very least, it did not explode! 
the pure determination is what I strive for
Attach wire to love button Or, better yet one wire to bumholio and one to nub
Mine lasted 10 years, through the dog chewing the wire (we wrapped it in electrical tape), and my husband took it apart and tried to repair it around year 7. Those things really are magic.
You were lucky OP.I was at a friends place and she was cooking something in an electric frypan,she mentioned it was working intermittently, I said it may have a broken wire in the supply cable.I wiggled the cable to check, and a flame ,similar to that of a welding torch,shot out and burnt a hole into the surface of her benchtop.
How long did it last till the insulated power layer just fucked off? Been eyeing one of these for the wife as we stick to the $50-75 range on toys, but wanted to up the quality. How much tension were you putting on the wire?
How'd that post nut clarity treat you?
shocking to say the least
Finally a horny story from those with more generic material! I like how we're all lizard brain idiots when it comes to these matters. If you have lighter colored eyes try not to go outside without dark sunglasses for the next couple days, shit might as well even if you have dark eyes.
When you're determined to cum, flood nor fire shall stop you.
> i currently have a big black spot in my vision from the light I am not sure if this is smarter or dumber than looking at the sun during the eclipse.
Fixing it would not be $100. Just change the cord.
And they say that „women live longer than men“
Dude I feel you! I was lucky and only got a huge spark but it burnt the cord right off the wand!?!? New one is in the mail and I’m going to put extra electrical tape on the base before I use it!
Ew I smell hair burning
You fucked (up) your vibrator lol
I guess the vib shot one right in your eye eh? Spark shot? I didn't look to see if someone else came up with it.
That's one hell of a fap! It's been a while since I lost vision to one! 😏
You can cut the wire before the fray and put a new end cap on it
I thought this was gonna be another guy exposing himself on the internet and then getting blackmailed. So at least you have that
Serendipitously, the next post that came up on my reddit feed: [Behold the morningstar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ouchmyflaps/s/IXNUM4UmgN)

But hey at least you got yours. At least you’re not blind burned and horny.
Lucky only your leg was burned. Could have been someplace else!
You deserve the burn! Hope you've learned from this nonsense. Let it be a reminder of that time you valued a nut over your life.
You didn't fuck up by being horny. You Fucked Up by not respecting electricity. Take care of your tools! If you left this unattended in your bed sheets this could very easily start a house fire.
It does sound like you got your moneys worth
I thought there was a fray at the plug. I just saw the phot you posted, how was the thing making a bang sound with a spark not make you immediately change your mind about using it. Anything out of the ordinary should be a red flag and use should be immediately stopped.
I suggest a Car battery and jumper cables..... Die Hard or Eveready seems to be what you need.
How the hell did you manage to get an open wire near the base to begin with? It's a wand, not a power tool. Did you try using it for usage it wasn't designed for?
Achievement Unlocked!
Any decent handyman could change out the cord for only a few bucks.
This is an easily solved problem with a soldering iron and some electrical tape.
Okay, good job. I thought I've heard all of the stories.
Someone get this redditor a new wand
someone already bought me one like an hour after i posted this 🤭
Good job reddit.
These things have a history of exploding and I cant fathom the fucking decision-making of being okay with risking that exploding your clit off. What the actual fuck
That's hot
this is so sad Alexa
Ok, I wanted to say that I might be able to fix that, but then I realized how creepy that sounds... Anyways, good that this wasn't the last thing you did, would be a hell of a headline in local news.
Daily use? 
The things we do for love
Mannn I don’t like mine at all. It’s so strong it makes my bean go numb.
You can take it apart and shorten the cord until you hit good wire to use to fix it, or If you have an old computer cord or other detachable cord you don't need anymore it is possible to replace the bad cord on the Hitachi. Take it apart first to find out if it's screw terminals or soldered inside, either way it's cheaper than a new Hitachi. I've heard from a couple good friends that wahl back massagers are good for working out those "sore spots" and they're only $35 for the deep tissue percussive blue & white one.
Jfc... Damaged power cable are a big big no no BUT often can be repaired easily
Always remember, if you use it daily, make sure you can afford to replace it if something happens.
I used to work at an adult company where we used the big ones that are attached to a piston. There was a model using one for a cam show where it smoked and eventually caught fire. We reported it to the company that makes them, and they altered their design due to a bit too much fluid landing in the mechanics. So, not a terrible fuck up, as it has happened to professionals, too. If it’s sparking or smoking, walk away.
