What Flick Mode actually changes
Flick Mode is the feature that gives the ElectraStim Flick EM60-E its name. Instead of only setting an intensity level and leaving it fixed, Flick Mode makes stimulation respond to movement. ElectraStim describes it as movement-responsive stimulation that syncs with the rhythm of your wrist, and the catalog frames the effect as a kind of virtual spanking with the flick of your wrist.
That is the core idea to hold onto: the EM60-E is a single-output stimulator, so Flick Mode changes how the output behaves over time rather than adding a second channel. You still choose a pattern and an intensity level; Flick Mode adds a motion-driven layer on top.
Turning the EM60-E on and reading the display
- Power on: Press the power button. The LED display lights red to confirm the unit is active and ready to use.
- Start from zero: The device starts at zero intensity on a continuous pattern, so nothing is delivered until you raise the level.
- Read the 12-light display: The display has 12 lights, each with two brightness states, so you can see exactly which of the 24 intensity levels you have selected. The LED display also syncs with your chosen pattern.
Choosing patterns and intensity
The EM60-E gives you two separate controls to learn: one for what the stimulation feels like, and one for how strong it is.
- Cycle patterns with the central mode button: Press the central mode button to move through the 10 stimulation patterns. Each press takes you to the next pattern, so you can quickly find one that fits your mood.
- Adjust intensity with the arrows: Use the up and down arrows to move across the 24 intensity levels. The catalog notes there is plenty of power for beginners to experiment with a range of accessories.
- What the 10 patterns include: The preloaded patterns range from Continuous (smooth and constant), Wave (slow and gentle), Ramp (slow rising and quick falls), Escalating Ramp and Escalating Wave, Pulse and Escalating Pulse, Burst Combo, Rise & Pulse, to Tempo Shift (fast waves that progressively slow down).
Switching into Tilt Mode
Tilt Mode is a second way the EM60-E responds to you, and it is easy to confuse with Flick Mode. The sequence in the supplied instructions is specific: after activating Flick Mode, press the mode button again to switch to Tilt Mode. The unit indicates Tilt Mode with a double flashing blue LED.
In Tilt Mode you control intensity by tilting the stimulator, which ElectraStim presents as a new dimension of control. Practically, that means your hand position becomes part of the control surface, so get familiar with the pattern and arrow controls first before adding tilt to the mix.
The hardware behind the controls
- ElectraStim Flick Electro Stimulator- EM60-E: Single-channel stimulator compatible with up to 2 uni-polar or 1 bi-polar accessory, with 1x connecting cable with 2mm pin connectors included. This tells you how many accessories the EM60-E can drive at once, which shapes how you plan a session around Flick Mode.
ElectraStim Flick Electro Stimulator- EM60-E - ElectraStim Flick Electro Stimulator- EM60-E: USB-C rechargeable with around 6 hours of play per charge and a full charge taking around three hours. Charging time and play time are worth knowing before a longer session, especially since motion-responsive play can run longer than a fixed setting.
- ElectraStim Flick Electro Stimulator- EM60-E: User-updateable firmware via the free ElectraStim Update Software, so future patterns, feature enhancements, or fixes can be installed. The pattern list is not necessarily the final one, so the controls you learn now can gain new options later.
Using a Flick stimulator safely
The supplied safety evidence for the EM60-E is short and clear: stimulation should ONLY be applied below the waist. Keep that boundary in mind when you are positioning pads or accessories, and treat it as the first checkpoint before you start adjusting patterns or intensity.
The catalog also recommends consulting the ElectraStim Compatibility Table to make sure you are choosing a stimulator with ample power for your accessories. That is a useful check before you assume a particular accessory will behave the way you expect with a single-channel unit.
A sensible first session with Flick Mode
The order below follows the supplied controls and does not add steps the documentation does not describe.
- Charge first: Use the supplied USB-C cable. A full charge takes around three hours and gives up to six hours of use at moderate power.
- Connect your accessory: Use the included 2mm pin connecting cable, and stay within the single-channel limit of up to 2 uni-polar or 1 bi-polar accessory.
- Power on and pick a pattern: The unit starts at zero intensity on Continuous. Press the mode button to step through patterns until one suits you.
- Raise intensity gradually: Use the up arrow to move through the 24 levels, watching the 12-light display to see where you are.
- Add Flick Mode, then Tilt Mode if you want it: Activate Flick Mode for motion response, then press the mode button again for Tilt Mode, confirmed by the double flashing blue LED.
What the EM60-E does not tell you
The supplied information does not specify how strongly Flick Mode responds to a given wrist movement, nor does it give a recommended motion speed or range. If you want predictable, repeatable output, the fixed patterns and arrow controls are the more straightforward route; Flick Mode and Tilt Mode are for when you want your movement to shape the session.
For anyone weighing this unit against a multi-channel model, the honest summary is that the EM60-E is a single-output stimulator whose distinctive value sits in motion and tilt control, 10 patterns, and 24 levels, not in channel count.
