Bought a CTC-XL3000 pump!

[Smertrios]

CTC-XL3000 came in the mail today! I have MAJOR puff (aka lymphatic swelling) with the ctc after 40 minutes but I have hopes for the ctc as it definitely left me with with a dull ache (not pain) afterwards and I can tell the inner shaft was worked really good. The pressure was cycling from 5 - 10 for almost the entire 40 minutes. Anyone else have a ctc and good things to say about it?

it's ok you will see a big difference in size the next day to. compared to the hand held pumps. if you want to pump you made the right choice. with the ctc pump. i've got the 2000. and some old hand pumps. that did'nt work so good. you will still get a hickey like hand pumps but thats life. p.s. becareful because like all pumps you can get blisters if worn to long. just use like 30 to 40 mins at a time. ok wrote to much.

I do not have the pump, but was considering getting it once I got my dough right. That was until I saw this pump https://www.pumptoys.com/prod/qsvac.php It is alittle expensive, but if it lives up to my expectations it will will be well worth it( it does not include a cylinder,I'd use a thickwall). Easy to interface with your computer. Next age PE gear!! HOLLA BACK!!!

I bought a QS-7 it is worth every penny in my opinion.

Curious... I don't own any of this stuff, but I know, from owning a vacuum gauge, that the tongue and mouth alone is able to create at least 8-10" vacuum Hg in the cylinder. It is also able to sense, as accurately as a gauge can, exactly what vacuum it's creating in the cylinder, after a little experimentation.

If I owned a cylinder, I'd do the vacuuming, myself, and then stick something in the vacuum tube to seal it off. I could increase, decrease, and modulate the vacuum, accordingly, and not need all this equipment.

So tell me, what's the advantage of a $200 vacuum pump, anyway?

Not arguing-- I hope. I'm just stating my point of view and hoping then to get educated.
