This seems to vary from person to person. I personally think that it hurts a little bit for a few seconds, as do most of my friends that have the same device, but other friends call it torture. I guess their pain threshold is different. I gladly trade the 3 seconds of mild stinging for days of itching.

I never thought my pain threshold was low until I tried that device lol.

I genuinely had to google reviews about it, and then still check if 50C temperature is safe for skin contact.

Torture comes quite close to it, still I hate mosquitoes even more.

Even now I only use the 3 second setting and sometimes I can't stand it.
