Hello.
2B owner here, I can confirm the pain files don't work. The 2b has to set so high the rest of the tease is impossible.
With "normal" levels, they do almost nothing at all.
Would be nice to hear how BoundSquirrel fixed it for himself.
Well, the fix is pretty non-elegant.
I don't like pain. I almost never run into the pain files.
During testing, though, I did notice that the normal pain files feel very similar to the pleasure files on the 2B, which is what inspired the idea of allowing users to set pain files higher than pleasure files. Out of the box, the harsh files are enough of a deterrent to keep me from mis-behaving, but I like the feel of those better than the regular pain files. Increasing the harsh files more than 1 step (5%) from the normal files is enough to make me sweat running into a pain mistress. All in all, though, the files all process through my 2B. I keep my volumes set to about 70% master and 5-12% on the 2B, depending on electrode placement. All of my placements are external, and I vary placement to my taste that night.
I tend to keep my volumes pretty low; I like the very slow build of barely being able to feel the sensation at all where it's more of a deep throb than that shallow, buzzy feeling. I prefer the journey to the destination.
I know that doesn't provide a concrete answer to your concerns with the 2B and not feeling the pain files 'right'. I may have to go re-build a home-grown Davy Box now to see what the raw files feel like in the name of science!
