[roddthewadd64]

i have not used flared but love the VT and dont know why i would need anything else for pumping. I started with a 2 inch tube of something else but did not like it...plus i grew out of it. i moved up to VT and it rocks.

I saw some mentioning about LA somewhere is this forum . What about this pump ? Any thoughts ?

[penisbuilder]

Hey airshy,I thought you had a velseal from pumptoys?Don't you?

[penisbuilder]

I still am on the fence of which pump and cylinders to buy between vacutech,lapdist,and pumptoys...I mean are all these excellent pumps and cylinders to buy? Please be honest with responses.Thank you.Please help me decide.Thank you very much.

[koooky]

I only have any experience with the Vacutech. They treated me very well and the packaging was very discreet as I recall. The product is very well made and have had NO PROBLEMS at all with the tube, pump, or hose. The only other pump I have any experience with was some no name porno shop typ of pump that first got me into it.


I would spend the extra money and go witht he Vacutech

Kaplan Cylinders are good also and they are less than half the price of others at the moment.

Hm... How about Kaplan ? I saw some discussion too. Differences between Kaplan and VT ?

[airshy]

Thanks for that - I do actually! I got confused and thought it was a VT.

[Threak-X]

I've actually had both brands
I started with the VacuTech (http://www.vacutech.com/products.asp?cat=11) back in the early 90's and actually cracked it. I used to travel for business 75% of the time and it was usually embarrassing when they did luggage check and came across it. One time a woman pulled it out of the luggage holding it up for everyone to see and asking "What is this thing?". I quickly replied, "It's a pump to drain aquariums." I laughed so hard when I saw the scene from "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" going through the airport security. Totally relate to that . . .

Since then I used the Kaplan (http://www.drkaplanpumps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4&zenid=5ec78a215e5ffab64e013194325cd0cc) off and on for several years. Actually outgrew it and I will upgrade a size and resume once I finish my hanging training. It's the same as VacuTech for me.

Pumps never have done much for length for me, but definitely help with my girth.

[roddthewadd64]

The kaplan pump is good as well.And its price is also a winner.;)

kookThe ole john holmes pump is what got me hooked.in the day it was top of the line.ive since purchased a nw pumpworks and a vacutech.the vacutech is definately the best money can buy.

[roddthewadd64]

kaplan is a good pump hands down.I know other guys who have them with no complaints.if you're searching for a bargain...kaplan is the way to go.

[trapeze]

i got it. i got it. i got a VT. but, i sort of feel a bit pain at my pelvic bones while the cyliner is pushing against me... anyone know how to get rid of this problem ?? THX.

[airshy]

i had that problem with the velseal at first and it was very uncomfortable. somehow i adapted but had to raise the pressure slowly at first so it did not hurt.

[Threak-X]

i got it. i got it. i got a VT. but, i sort of feel a bit pain at my pelvic bones while the cyliner is pushing against me... anyone know how to get rid of this problem ?? THX.I had the same issue when I first used the pump/cylinder. I was over-zealous with it and had the pressure TOO-HIGH at first. Start at a low pressure and short-time and increase both throughout the coming weeks. Staying acute of your results and changes.

Word of caution... Be sure to massage out the lymphatic fluid between sets. You run the risk of lymph blisters along with bursting capillaries and rupturing blood vessels as a result of mass amounts of blood being quickly sucked into your penis when the pressure is TOO-HIGH.

[airshy]

i had a unique issue that came while combining hanging and pumping (not together of course) - but the hanging on my left side from btc angles was stretching my groin area so much it was very tender to pump over 5hg because of the pressure on the tender ligs and area. luckily that went away.

also - does your pump have a rubber base on it? that should create some relief if it does not.

you mean a separate rubber base or a base originally molded onto the cylinder ?

trapeze what does your cyclinder look like?
No, don't purchase the rubber-base.

mine is called Flared Penis Cylinder. it's just exactly like the ones on VT website... product --> cylinder --> Flared Penis Cylinder

[roddthewadd64]

i got it. i got it. i got a VT. but, i sort of feel a bit pain at my pelvic bones while the cyliner is pushing against me... anyone know how to get rid of this problem ?? THX.try a lower pressure until you get adapted to it.

[Threak-X]

mine is called Flared Penis Cylinder. it's just exactly like the ones on VT website... product --> cylinder --> Flared Penis CylinderI had the same one when I first started and didn't care for it. It would actually pinch me. I was so glad I cracked it and purchased the other type w/o the flare. Dip the flared end in Plastic-Dip and that should allievate the issue some.

[roddthewadd64]

great idea.I believe ill give it a try.

[trapeze]

THX. Is it glue or jell of some kind ? How can jelly stuff alleviate ?? Shouldn't I use padding or something ?

[roddthewadd64]

THX ! What about the flared cylinder ? What is this feature for ?The flared cylinder is supposedly used for girth pumping only.The thickwall supposedly is used for length.the thickwall is what i own,as my nw pumpworks is a flared cylinder.

[Juggers]

I checked out that DR Kaplan pump site because I am interested in getting a pump just for something new. I feel that my penis is really conditioned and getting a pump would add a more interesting routine structure.

Some interesting things I noticed;

On the FAQ the average size is listed as 6-7 inches and the average girth is put as 5.5 inches (seems above average to me, but of course a marketing tactic to make me feel smaller perhaps).

The before and after photos are horrible and look fake.

I guess I will have to just keep looking. So far the pumps look pretty solid on that site.

[trapeze]

But thickwall ones look pretty much the same as flared ones. thickwall ones don't push against pelvic bones hard when high vacuum ??

[roddthewadd64]

bro,any cylinder is gonna take some getting use to.be patient and try a lower amount of pressure.if all else fails try the plasti-dip.im gonna give that a try just for the added comfort.remember..easy does it!

[Threak-X]

THX. Is it glue or jell of some kind ? How can jelly stuff alleviate ?? Shouldn't I use padding or something ?It's liquid plastic and will dry to a soft pliable texture. This will cover any sharp/straight edges and round this out for more comfort.

[trapeze]

Hey Guys !

the tip of my penis(the tip of my glands) sort of swells a bit after pumping. it also appears somewhat different coloring then surrounding area. is it normal ? i don't feel uncomfortable for this, though. it just looks kinda scary. any ideas ???

[christiantwbath]

you should buy a mustang cylinder

excuse me ?

[Threak-X]

you should buy a mustang cylinder
trapeze it's cylinder sold under the brand-name Maxhim in the UK. Use a Mustang cylinder and you'll soon be hung like a wild stallion.

i see...

what about my original question !? i've no idea what that is supposed to mean !!

[trapeze]

btw, what's special about mustang against vacu-tech ??

[roddthewadd64]

mustang is still foreign in the usa,whereas vacu-tech is well known.i began with the john holmes pump in 92,Bought a nw pumpworks pump in 94 with good results using it i purchased my vacu-tech 3years ago,its top of the line.i also was sent a kaplan pump last year as a promotional deal.it works well and the bset thing is it was a freebie.but still,im preferential to mt vacu-tech.soo im a pump junkie!wtf??

[dongosattack]

vacu tech 4 me

[roddthewadd64]

vacu tech is my favorite of all pumps.As much as i brag on them,they oughta pay me for advertisement.

[DGreekStallion]

This is out of my economic curiosity. Does Vacu Tech manufacture their products in the US?

Looks like the main office is in CA, so I would say yes made in the USA.

[roddthewadd64]

yep,american made.rofl

[10inchadvantage]

The Vacutech guys were the most straight-up respectful people I've ever ordered PE gear from. Got the stuff promptly. Yes, the price is high, but from what I've read and experienced they are worth it. Their pumps have a taper near the base which I think really makes a difference in expansion.

[DGreekStallion]

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I recently made a speech in school about buying American made products and so forth so I'm trying to live up to what I preach...

Do y'all honestly think pumping alone can give me gains, or should I do it in conjunction with my PE exercises?

If I do do them in conjunction with the exercises, when should I do the pump, or do I do that on a totally different days?

Thanks Again,
Danny

You should be jelqing between sets at the minimum. Work the pump in to your normal girth routine, but add a day off the next day. Start out doing 3 sets of 10 minutes at 2-5" hg (progressively getting to 5 near the last session).

I agree with 10inchadvantage, do your normal girth routine between sets, you will be fatter than you ever have been I promise. Stay away from long durations and high pressures, it will cause a donut, which is what you don't want, there is a fine line between pumping for gains and fluid build up, which is one reason I like to edge between sets. Edging seems to me to help flush any fluid build up that you get out of you penis, while keeping your penis in tip top working order.

[DGreekStallion]

crazyed:

You mean edging as masturbation till near ejaculation than stopping, correct?
