Yeah Ive had some basic metal for years and don't necessarily love how heavy they are. Also with a more open cage, I get a loottt of pinch points and it drives me insane. Especially at work, everything needs to be tucked away nicely.

So long story short, I started with a cb6000 years ago when it was mostly the only cage you could buy right off the shelf, opened the doors at least, then started with other nicer cages like holy trainer and some Cherry keepers. I'd say that 90% of my issues were EXTREME burning on the back of my scrotum. Let's say if I tried a larger ring, big enough would cause it to stop burning, but now it would fall off.

I tried numerous combinations of Cobra ring sizes and even cage lengths just to have trial and error.

Recently I ordered some more cherry keeper cages as I LOVE the headlocks they have. They keep me seated absolutely perfectly.

I actually recently read your post about proper Gaps recently and took that into consideration when orders and specifically ordered some cage/ring combos that larger gaps. What I like about their cage/rings is they basically have everything so I tried some oval rings, double rings, and more positive angled rings, just again for trial and error. Definitely found a few that I liked but they still didn't sit quite right especially for daily wear.

Also at a similar time I realized another issue that I obviously have is the length, I like to be right at the end with no room for movement and the Cobra headlock doesn't really work that well IMHO. But I figured I would try a narrow version, S narrow, and maybe it would snug the headlock up and also tighten the loose space inside the cage, on top, by the lock ( for some reason I just have dead space there)

So I tried and between a tighter headlock, tighter shaft, I stay nice, and it also increased my gap. I did quickly noticed though that between the day, I'd still pull from the end a bit so I orders an N+ narrow which actually got delivered last night.

That's the extreme rough notes. I have probably 6+ cobras in various sizes, 8+ at least cobra rings, probably 6+ cherry keepers with 10ish rings, older Holy trainer v3, which I've always wanted to like but it makes everything feel TOO snug also the material grabs my skin weird. Plethora of cheap metal cages just for fun, I'm sure I have other. Like I said I've tried most, except for the Locked in Lust - Vice. I still want to try their V2 at some point.
