SVibe (Snail Vibe) recently released two iterations on the Ikon male masturbator; the Spark (thrusts and rotates) and the Volt (rubs and heats). If you’re frustrated by clunky, finicky app-reliant electronic strokers, the Spark and Volt are worth consideration. Both new SVibe masturbators have stroking motions and preset patterns, but the Volt heats up and can accommodate a little more length. After my partner tried (and loved!) the SVibe Gizi’s high quality feel and design, I was curious about SVibe’s take on the male masturbator. I tried the Spark, and I was surprised by how straightforward and quiet it is.

Unboxing & Inspection

The SVibe Spark comes in a larger, sturdy box with a USB-C charging cable and User Manual.

It’s got a clear removeable casing around the stroking components so that you can see yourself and the stroking mechanisms. The black plastic part of the stroker casing has a smooth, matte finish and is easy to grip. It’s not too clunky; I’d say it’s comfortable to hold with one hand while still being able to reach the buttons.

Its button interface is simple: hold the power button down to turn it on. The power button has a bevel shape like it’d be a flip switch, but you just press it down firmly to power on/off. Use the lower part of the silver button to turn on thrusting and rotation and to cycle through the 4 modes. Use the +/- to control the 4 speeds of its thrusting and rotation in any given mode. Use the upper part of the button to turn on the “full power mode,” which is basically a shortcut to the highest power continual stroking/rotating setting.

The SVibe Spark has three soft, fleshy-feeling TPE parts: the outer ring, the inner thrusting sleeve, and the rotating, nubby end piece.

Note: The nubby rotating end piece is difficult to set back into place if removed because it has a lip that fits snugly between the snap-in plastic rotating cup/ring. If it comes unseated or is removed for cleaning, you’ll need a minute to reposition it (see video below).

My Experience Using the SVibe Spark

The Spark’s max insertable dimensions are 1.77″ in diameter and 5.16″ in depth. Its TPE points of contact have a high-quality feel: supple, fleshy, and reminiscent of a Tenga Puffy stroker.

Disclaimer: I took a chance here because I exceed the max girth for the Spark (1.77″) by a few millimeters. I used a ton of lube on myself and on the outer ring (shown below) and the two other points of contact without issue.

After initially powering on the Spark and cycling through its modes, I was surprised by how quiet it is (just about 40 dB). Despite exceeding its max insertable diameter, the stroker didn’t faulter or struggle with me; a pleasant surprise. Before I start using the Spark, I always remove the clear plastic piece and apply lube to the two inner points of contact.

The stroker has about 1.1″ of stroke depth and can modulate between 4 speeds for any of its 4 modes. I could appreciate the full power mode (top part of the button) because it’s like a shortcut to the highest speed of continual stroking, which feels amazing if you’re about to finish.

The SVibe Spark has a 2-hour charge time and a 1 hour run time. It uses a USB-C charging cable.

The SVibe Spark has about 1.1″ of thrust. It’s got an insertable depth of 5.16″, so if you have a bit more length, you’ll probably want to check out the Volt, which has 6.26″ of insertable depth (and the same 1.77″ max diameter). I plan to try the Volt soon because I was only able to insert about 70% of the way in.

The rotating head has a soft nubby texture. It’s an interesting feature but may not feel as stimulating to someone who’s uncircumcised. If that’s the case for you, you can withdraw yourself a little and allow the stroking arm to stroke a little further up toward your head and frenulum.

I was initially curious if one of the TPE components would become unseated or move out of place during use, but this isn’t the case. Everything is well-fitted and secure during use.

For the most part, I use mode #1 – the continually stroking mode. The other modes have progressively longer stroking/rotating durations with a brief pause in between, which could be good for edging and stamina. Again, the full power mode (top of the silver button) is readily available if you need to instantly kick it up a few notches. The Spark feels most like a handjob, and you’ll want to make sure to apply plenty of lube to yourself and all points of contact.

One of the most valuable features of the SVibe Spark is its noise level; only about 40 dB. Other strokers, while maybe more featureful or powerful, are typically noisier. If discretion is important to you, or if you want something that doesn’t take a lot of management or fine-tuning for the best experience, this is something you’ll probably enjoy.

Lastly, this stroker is super easy to clean. You can remove the clear plastic housing by turning it slightly to unlock it. Sliding it off, you can remove the outer ring by the same turn/unlock motion. The outer TPE ring has a white plastic ring connected to it, so don’t try to separate those two pieces; they’re intended to stay connected. The stroker’s TPE ring easily comes out for cleaning as well.

You can remove the rotating nubby “cup” at the tip, but it takes a minute to reseat it properly. You may be able to effectively clean it in place. It has a lip that wedges into a narrow channel. Because of this, it is difficult to put back. (I used small flathead screwdriver, but this could damage the sleeve material if accidentally punctured.) Our SVibe rep showed us how to actually remove the cap at the end so that the TPE cup can be reseated properly, but be careful not to break the plastic parts:

Once its pieces were laid out to dry, everything was dry in about an hour. I appreciate the quick dry time – other strokers with single opening sleeves take much longer to dry because of limited airflow.

Final Thoughts

The SVibe Spark masturbator is the quietest electronic stroker I’ve tried, and it’s simple to use and clean. The settings, while limited, aren’t finicky, and the toy itself is well-powered and didn’t struggle with my girth. As with other SVibe toys, the Spark has a 2-year warranty, which is slightly longer than the industry average (~1 year).

For a warranty claim, you’ll submit a request on SVibe’s contact form.
