Getting ready to purchase the TENS 3000 or 7000...should I order the Tensive adhesive gel also? Do you use the gel with your machine?

Great question. The http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Labs-Tensive-Conductive-Adhesive/dp/B0011YY9YM/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2EDM9UQN2HS93 is going to extend the adhesive life of any electrode. However, keep in mind that as the adhesive deteriorates so does the conductive element. Even if the adhesive gel allows you to get 20-30 uses out of the electrodes (industry standard is about 15 applications) you may only be working at a 50% or less capacity of the pads current distribution capabilities. The best solution in our opinion to buy a high quality American made electrode with either a carbon conductive element http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NA7YFM4 or even better, a silver conductive element http://www.amazon.com/Patients-Choice%C2%AE-Silver-Square-Electrodes/dp/B00JWRBRHC that will allow you the highest quality foundation on which to use the adhesive gel to extend the life of the electrode. Keep in mind, what you are paying for in the electrode is the quality of the conductive element and its components. The adhesive gel will only extend the life of the electrode as far as the quality of electrode will allow.

The pads that come with the unit, but you can also use other brand pads as well. search TENKER tens pads or B0925HT71K . Or go to the below link to buy it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0925HT71K

Is this the 2nd edition of the Tens 7000 which features the higher 100mA output?

Yes this is TENS 7000 2nd Edition with (100mA). Hope this helps!

How long will this unit run on a single battery?

Totally depends on how often you use it and How you use it. I've found batteries last longer when on a pulsing pattern than a steady pattern. -- which makes sense since they're "on" for only two thirds of the time. It also depends upon how many channels (pairs of electrodes) you use. Most times I only use one pair of electrodes -- to target one area. This seems to use half the amount of electricity, and so the batteries last twice as long. I take the left over 9 volt batteries from smoke detectors and use them. They still have enough "juice" left in them to power a tens unit for a long while. Be sure to replace your smoke detector batteries :)

Easy to use from the very beginning

I appreciate the detailed instructions for this unit. It was simple to assemble and to use. Of course, it helped with my sciatica pain.

Different from the picture posted

I was expecting a legit heavy use Tens machine but the one i got i like not the one i expected. The machine i received is made out of cheap plastic material. Also the machine i receive is different from tge picture posted

Worked well but not perfect

Machine works great and I like the programmable options and reusable pads. However, Ch1 knob broke within the first few uses so the machine will not turn off and the battery must be taken out. If the channel knobs are fixed and it came with a rechargeable battery this would be perfect
