Hi Laveila
The new G-Kii 2 has a few differences when compared to the original G-Ki.
Power:
I'm not sure how well the power of the new model compares directly with the G-Ki, but I can say the new version is powerful. There are 5 patterns with 6 levels of power / speed. The vibrations range from gentle to a powerful rumble. They're really nice deep, solid vibrations too - nothing tinny and cheap feeling. There are 2 buttons for controlling the speed (+ and -) and a middle button to change the pattern. The vibrations travel through the toy really well also.
Buttons / The 'elbow':
The joint in the new G-Kii is slightly different to the old one, and there is a knack to altering the angle without feeling like you'll break it. Firstly the new G-Kii has just one posable joint, rather than two. To be honest, I don't think this removes anything from the toy as it can still reach a remarkable curve for stimulating the G-Spot. Also, the button on the new model is underneath the silicone, making for a nice smooth surface.
The trick to smooth adjustment is as follows...
1. Press the button reasonably firmly with your thumb.
2. While keeping the button depressed, use your other hand to gently push the end of the vibe in the opposite direction to the way you want to bend it. You should notice that this small movement enables the button to 'click' in just a mm extra, and this unlocks the joint.
3. Still keeping the button depressed, you can now pose the shaft into your preferred shape.
For example, if your vibe is in its straightest position and you want it curved, you'll need to follow the instructions above and push against the curve to unlock the joint before bending round into a C-shape. In just the same way, if you already have your G-Kii set to the most curved position, and want to straighten it, press the button and push down gently in the direction of the curve (as if you were going to bend it a little bit more) and once it unlocks you can then pull it into the straightened position. The only time your G-Kii should 'click' is when the button is depressed. It shouldn't click or 'shudder' during the bending process - this should be a smooth transition. It sounds complicated when reading it on here, but I really must stress this is an incredibly easy process when you know what you're doing. As soon as you have it in your hands, it all makes a lot more sense!
Noise:
Are you referring to the vibrations? Personally I think it's pretty quiet for the power. I've got one on my desk right now, and on the highest setting, Cazz and Plum (who sit opposite me in the office) could only just hear it. Through bedroom walls, under a duvet or in the bathtub, you'd have no problems I'm sure.
All in all I really like the new version and do think it's a step up when compared to the original G-Ki. It's slick, smooth and finally matches up to the luxury branding. The C-shape you can create is amazing and should fit most women to easily, stimulating the G-Spot with almost no effort. Also, when bent into the full C-shape curve, the handle sits perfectly against your clitoris for added stimulation.
As for a video, we've already filmed it and are just waiting for the editing to be finished before it goes 'live' :)
I hope that helps, and hasn't further confused things! :P
