Easy to use. The people who posted negative things about the ability to put the battery in must be mechanically challenged. It does take some maneuvering of the spring in the cap to make sure it's collapsing in the middle and not off to the side, but it just takes a little patience to make sure it's situated correctly. I used it with a YouTube video giving directions on how to use it for the Vagus Nerve and it removed my headache immediately.

I was very much looking forward to trying this item and was hoping some of the reviews were isolated incidents. As mentioned by others, putting the cap on after inserting the battery is a lesson in patience. After managing to get it screwed on, the pen did not turn on. The battery end was getting increasingly warm then hot to the touch. I unscrewed the and and tried to remove the battery but it was too hot to hold. Mind you, this is after just a couple of minutes after I put it in. The exterior of the battery was starting to blister so I have to believe something bad would have happened had I left it unattended. I tried it again with another new battery with the same result. It might make a great cigarette lighter but it's not a good acupuncture pen.

I had many pain on my wrist lately but this product surprisingly makes the pain go away. I was a bit doubtful when I first heard of this from a colleague but after trying it out I had to get myself a pair. If you're in pain somewhere on your body try this product out, who knows it might really fix those issues for you when it gets too painful.

This is the best invention ever !!!! I have arthritis in my thumb and have had my neck fused. When my thumb starts to hurt, I just put te setting to 3 and move it around the sore part, in about 5 minutes, the pain is gone !!! I have been using it every day for the past 4 weeks and I am still using the same battery. Showed my Mom, She tried it on her bad hip, she bought one the next day ! Amazing how a gadget that uses only 1 AA batttery can help relieve pain !!

I LOVE THIS!!! The product works exactly as described. I received it today and within 5 minutes of use my headache was gone and my neck and shoulders relaxed. I will be purchasing more for my family and one to carry on me at all times. YOU MUST USE A CONTACT GEL, LOTION OR CREAM TO AVOID A STINGING SENSATION. It assists with conduction and place one hand on the body if you use on someone else to close the circuit. You can work with the strength of the pulse by simply lifting one or more fingers... ie., the palm on someone won’t deliver as much of a pulse as when you use one or two fingers to close the circuit.

The Pen DOES shock you when holding it, you can notice on any power level above 2. If you place the pen on the correct spot it does seem to help slightly with pain such as sciatic nerve. If the pen is not placed on the right point, it is a stinging feeling and is slightly uncomfortable. There is no comparison to real acupuncture though as it is far more effective but for home use it's not bad I guess. This is the only pen that I have tried so you might have better luck with others.

This is exactly as described and works well, but reading the instructions, it says not to use it if you have a pacemaker...which I do. Others in my household have tried it and liked it, but until I check with my doctor, I won't be using it. Therefore, I only have hearsay info to give as a review. But from what others have said how tried it, I would give it a thumbs up.

I don’t post many reviews. With that being said, I must say my experience with this product has been a wonderful surprise. I have had acupuncture therapy in the past so I am familiar with the principles of it. This handy little pen has worked on a chronic hand pain I’ve been suffering with and I’m starting to use it on other areas. This is the 2nd one I’ve ordered and I haven’t had any issues with the battery compartment. It does take 1 AA battery. I’d suggest using the contact gel. It will take away any stinging sensation. The only problem I’ve encountered is with the contact gel getting down into the electrode contact. To stop this from causing problems, I unscrew it and soak in hot water for a few minutes and then let it air dry before screwing back onto tip. Great product and if you suffer from pain, this could be an alternative.

Love this item wish there was more shock to it, but it works well with loosening of muscle tension. Notice a lot of people complaining about the shock when holding and using this item. I find it more stimulating and you know it's working. But over all great product for relieving tension.

I do heavy weight training and use this silver bullet to speed up healing and also treat minor lifting injuries like knots in my muscles.



My husband uses this on his neck and shoulders to relieve tension headaches. He hasn’t gotten another tension headach since using this a couple times/week.



I do 10 minute sessions on power level 9, which is the highest level. The pen can be uncomfortable to hold while in use because the person holding it is the grounding element and receives a shock. To lessen the discomfort, my advice is to hold it in a fist instead of with fingertips.



I can’t hold the pen with my right hand because I have a metal plate in my wrist. Very uncomfortable.

I love this product, I use it every day on my left side of my face for my Bell's Palsy, it helps, it was recommended by my acupuncturist. I read some other reviews before buying it and I don't have any issues to the battery overheating while it's in the device. I leave it in all the time.

I have been dealing with deliberating migraines from two TBIs for months!!! I saw this pen in an article on migraines but did not order it right away as I truly doubted it would work. Yesterday morning after being woke up for at least the past 10 days before 4am with a migraine I ordered this pen. It just came and I had yet another migraine that medication was no touching. I used the pen for least than 10 min and the migraine is gone!!!!! I will be carrying this pen with me where I go along with an extra AA battery (just in case) and a container of gel or Aloe Vera gel as the booklet says you can use. If you are thinking about getting it for migraines I say stop thinking and order it right away. I wish I ordered it months ago!!!!!!

Excellent product. At first, I didn’t find it useful as I didn’t feel anything. Until I found out that the pen needs to touch the acupoints to make it work. Once the pen touches the acupoints, it seems like someone doing massage on me. What a wondeful product! Now I use it everyday.

I suffer with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and had shoulder replacement surgery in September have tried multiple things to help with pain relief as alternatives to pain medication was overwhelmingly surprised at how helpful this product has been as long as you read the booklet that comes with it and follow the acupuncture points that it shows I would definitely recommend it.
