Last spring I picked up an evotion device. It was a nice piece, but it irritated my piercing and I eventually stopped using it. For the rest of autumn, I wore a Lori model instead, though that one gave me some swelling and requires enlargement.
So what should I do about the evotion? The specific unit I have doesn’t fit perfectly. Evotion offers re-prints at a fair price, but I hesitated to pay for it without knowing if the nylon pin would actually work for my piercing. I never quite determined whether the material was the issue or if my hole had just healed too recently.
One option is swapping the nylon pin for a stainless steel (SS) one. If that works, and a replacement unit’s pin fails later, at least I can swap it out again.
The new pin is a 4G curved barbell with a length of 1 7/8 inches from Painful Pleasures. I cut off the screw end to remove the hole and filed in a slight taper. On the other side, I flattened one face so the epoxy has more surface area to grip against twisting.
I removed the old nylon pin and drilled a through-hole for the metal one at that spot. The material thickness there is about 1/4 inch. I applied Gorilla epoxy and allowed it to cure fully over several days.
The connection holds well, keeping the pin securely in place. I’m currently wearing it and finding it mostly comfortable.
There are two adjustments I would make differently next time:
First, instead of bending the barbell itself, I drilled the hole at an angle so the tip centers out at the end of the device. This creates a fairly steep entry angle for the pin. Fortunately, this matches the natural angle of the jewelry in my piercing. The benefit is a low-profile design that leaves more room for erectile tissue, making it more comfortable during erections. However, the angle between the pin and device can pinch. I have to be mindful not to let my tissue get pulled down into that tight spot.
Next time, I would bend the barbell so it sits closer to 70 degrees relative to the device before curving through my urethra. That geometry should feel more comfortable overall.
Secondly, when drilling, I clamped the device in a vice and drilled straight down. This means that laterally, the pin isn’t perfectly perpendicular (normal) to the device surface—you can see this effect in the front-facing photo. If it were normal, the curve would approach the centerline sooner. My piercing is offset slightly left while my urethra runs along the centerline, so reaching the centerline faster would be ideal. In practice, I haven’t noticed my penis being pulled off-center yet, but I still think drilling differently would help.
As mentioned, I’m wearing it now. If this setup works out long-term, I’ll order a resized evotion device from them. And if the nylon pin turns out to be unsuitable for me, at least I know I can replace just that component.
@Thatguyontheinternet did exactly the same thing with his Evotion device. We took it off a few days later to inspect the bond and noticed the epoxy had broken down into an odd gel-like substance. They resolved this by applying metal-specific epoxy around the stainless steel pin, then layering regular epoxy over that top. After letting it cure for two days and smoothing it out with a Dremel tool, they checked back after another couple of days to ensure stability.
