Hyperice - Venom Go - Black

Chronic pain, arthritis and rheumatism this device can help and elevate pain. Even after workout this device works as your personal massage and relaxes the muscle. I bring this everywhere including trips. Highly recommend

Great… only downside is the battery doesn’t last long. Puts out a lot of heat..

Love this for heat on cramping muscles. It works great!

I have suffered with chronic leg pain for more than 20 years due to ACL reconstructions I had when I was younger. Ever since then I’ve done just about every type of therapy to try to relieve the continuous pain I feel on a daily basis. For several years now, one of the things that helps me the most is a device that uses TENS technology, but it’s not a traditional TENS device. So, when I read about the Hyperice Venom Go, I thought it would be a nice addition to my therapeutic options. The setup of the device is pretty easy, but the app I’m not a fan of the way the app is set up. I feel like the app is directed more towards training routines than operating the devices that are connected. It would be nice if the first screen you see is a simple choice between connected devices and information. I like that there are routines and reference materials built into the app, but it’s cluttered and when you just want to start using the device — well a quick start option would be a nice addition. As far as how the Venom Go actually operates, I found it to alleviate immediate pain I was feeling. One of my main tests was done when I was feeling extreme pain due to a weather change. I placed the Venom Go on my calf muscle and let it work for about 10 minutes. The heat was very nice on the muscle area and the vibration helped with muscle tension as well. Since I’m used to how a TENS unit operates, the vibration from the Venom seemed minor in comparison. It would be great if there were more adjustment options for that feature. It helped, but not enough. As far as the adhesive pad is concerned, it stuck well the first time, but after using the Venom Go for one session on my calf muscle, I wanted to move it to my quad area. The pad didn’t stick nearly as well. The instructions state that you should use on clean, dry skin. Since I was using the device on my legs and I do have hair on them, I’m wondering if that kept the pad from having a solid sticky connection to my skin. The device does come with 3 pads, but they should be able to be used more than once. I do love how the device connects to the pad — with magnets. It makes swapping pads very easy. While the Venom Go did a good job of alleviating pain for me, I have one big complaint — the battery life. The specs state the battery should last approximately 60 minutes. I’m used to my TENS unit lasting for more than 20 therapy hours, which means I can wear it throughout the day or even when I sleep. With only an hour of battery life, the Venom Go is really only going to be good for very temporary pain relief for me. I think I was only able to get a maximum of 40 minutes of therapy time from it before it died. I like the design of the Venom Go and the concept of combining heat with vibration, but there is room for improvement with this therapy device.

The Hyperice Venom Go is a very effective combination heat and vibration pain management device. It can't magically cure the causes of pain, but it can very effectively treat sore muscles. I have long experienced relief from massage and heat therapy so I was very eager to try this device, since it combines both methods. A major benefit is that it is compact and battery operated, making it very easy to transport. The first thing I noticed is how truly powerful it is for its size. The vibration strength is truly surprising for the small size. Likewise the heat settings can get quite hot. In fact the highest heat setting was so hot that I had to turn it down after a few minutes. It can be completely controlled by the buttons on the device or by the Bluetooth capable App. I recommend using the App because it allows the device to be more precisely controlled. The Venom Go attaches magnetically to the pads and doesn’t function without being connected to a pad. The internal rechargeable battery lasts about 40 minutes which is not surprising to me considering how powerful the heat and vibration effects are. Included in the box are 3 adhesive pads and a USB-C to USB-A charging cord. The pads are rated to last for about 20 uses. If you need a portable battery operated heat/vibration massager then It is highly recommended!
