Does the conductivity of the rubber in the Sparkler last long?

I used it about 20 times, and it does not contuct the electric current any more. Especially the last part (the 5 inche rubber rod). I even mad a test connecting the Low Profil Connector directly on that part, and there is no conductivity any more.

Have you heard about that problem before?

Dear Sir,
What type of lubricant did you use on your Electrode?

The Sparkler should remain conductive as long as the correct lubricants are used and it doesn't get stretched out. Stretching the Electro-Flex products can reduce conductivity over time because the conductive particles don't go back in the same manner.

You used a second electrode in your circuit when testing it, correct?

What you describe is not a common occurance. How were you using it? Were you using it as a loop around the shaft or inserted?
