I recently used electric tape ( which i have to say besides the bad comments about it being dangerous is amazing.) I taped from 9/16 to 5/8 and then taped more to 3/4. i have only had 3/4 worth of tape on for a few days and my ears feel healed. I put in one Silicone earskin in my right ear and it opened right up, no pain, no swelling, fit perfect. My left ear on the other hand which i ripped at 1/2 inch and now has scar tissue has been at 3/4 for like a week and everytime i put in the earskin it almost opens all the way up then my ear collapses it. I decided to put more layers of tape to stretch it a bit bigger. Do you think its safe to wear silicone in my ears?

You should really get some teflon/plumber's/PTFE tape so the adhesive stuff on the electrical tape won't irritate your ears. You can get teflon tape at Lowe's for like 93 cents so there's really no reason to use anything else.
And you're going WAY too fast, especially on the lobe that you tore. Slow down, stop for 6 weeks at every size, and add tape slowly.
