They are safety considerations to be mindful of when using our Tazzapper and Violet Wand. They both are considered generally safe toys, but you should always practice good judgement and keep safety in mind when using any electrical toy. Each participant should evaluate if they have any medical risk factors that would warrant not using these toys. Please use good common sense and sound judgement.

Things to Consider.....
The reason your brass devil's horns feel more intense has less to do with the metal itself and everything to do with shape and tip design.
While silver (or in this case, stainless steel with a silver finish) is a better natural conductor of electricity, the physical shape of a Violet Wand attachment completely changes how that electricity is delivered to your skin.
1. Sharp Points vs. Rounded Balls
The biggest factor in electrical sensation is surface area. Electricity naturally concentrates at sharp points and discharges in concentrated bursts.
- The Brass Horns: These feature inverted, open tips. Because the metal terminates at a sharper edge, the voltage jumps off the tip in concentrated, dramatic arcs—creating a sensation described as "rough spark-like mini lightning bolts." [1, 2, 3]
- The Silver Horns: These are actually made of stainless steel and capped with rounded balls. The round surface diffuses the electrical current across a wider area, creating a much smoother, less jagged flow of current
2. Resistance and "Bite"
With a violet wand, a metal with slightly higher electrical resistance (like brass compared to silver) doesn't reduce the power of the wand; instead, the high voltage forcing its way through the metal can actually contribute to a "sharper" or more "stinging" quality to the spark, especially when combined with the pointed shape.
Sensation Comparison
| Feature | Brass Devil's Horns | Silver (Stainless) Devil's Horns |
|---|
| Tip Shape | Inverted, open edges | Rounded balls |
| Sensation | Sharp, rough, "bitey" lightning | Smooth, flowing, diffuse current |
| Intensity | Higher (concentrated spark) | Lower (distributed spark) |
In short, the silver version prioritizes finesse by using curves to spread out the energy, while the brass version maximizes bite by letting the electricity jump violently off the
