Anyone know how to measure for cup size for vac hanger purchase?

Not bad, I’m using it about 6-8 hours a week after hanging. I’m waiting on the small cap, I ordered it Friday and it said California but it don’t look like it’s coming from Cali which is pissing me off because I could’ve paid less if it came from the China location. It should be here Monday and I think it will grip better with the smaller cap. The sleeve already has a small tear but I think that’s more my fault then the sleeve. One strange thing about me with these suction cup type systems is I need a little lube to get it to suction just right. I tried the baby powder just like I did with the esl40 and the same thing happened, it looses grip and I slip out. I’m hoping after the small cap comes I’ll be able to put more hours in.

Yeah, with these kind of Asian-made items being sold at multiple price-points and multiple sellers, I just assume it’s coming from China! These guys know you’re screwed the minute they hit the “shipped” button cause there’s no way you’re mess around with the returns process after waiting so long. Who knows though? You might get lucky! :D

I just got my small cap today and it’s definitely a thick durable plastic, as you mentioned. I think all those cheapy blue vac caps are all made by the same company. And yeah, that silicone sleeve will need replacement soon enough, but I think the savings from getting the cap and buying some quality sleeves separate is worth it.

You might appreciate having both sizes. I have to be stark flaccid to fit in the small, and be super careful rolling the sleeve on, as it’s rather tight (like putting on an Asian condom) but it does the trick and no swelling after around two hours time put in. Definitely holds onto 10 pounds like a champ in any position (even tested it on my SO pulley system). The sleeve seems to be the only thing that would prevent using this as a long term hanging device IMHO.

With a good sleeve, I don’t see how this thing couldn’t handle 15 pounds or more. Which is exciting considering I wasn’t considering it for that kind of use.

I do think it will be here Monday and if not they get a terrible review and they’ll most likely offer a refund for a better review. I noticed these Chinese co do that with a bad review.

I find the med size sleeve tight so I didn’t order a small on that just the cap but I definitely plan on ordering several sleeves. That’s great that you having good luck hanging from it. I’m glad I gave it a review so others can take advantage of a cheap vac hanger/ extender. I agree that having both sizes is a good thing, especially after a pumping session.

Did you order the uvipe? Did you take breaks or go the straight two hours?

I just did a full 90 minutes at 10lbs with my SO pulley today with no break. Seems I’m one of the lucky ones, as there’s no blistering with my head completely wrapped up in a thin self adhering bandage I have on hand. I kept taking breaks the first day at extended intervals to assess things (ie., 5 mins, then 10, 15, 20, etc.)

The plan now, instead of using this thing as a strict ADS/light hanger, is to hang with the MaleHanger until edema starts to set in on the 4th set or so, take a break til it subsides, and go straight to the vac hanger for a couple of sets — perhaps using it as an ads for a couple of hours at the end of the day when I walk my dog to help cement. Will see how it goes though, I don’t think I’m a PE Superman, so it depends on the PIs.

I’m not sure what I’d get with a UVipe or something more expensive would be better than what I paid a little over $20 Canadian for right here. And, this is just in my case, I’m sure there’s a reason why most guys graduate to a LG. I just haven’t crossed the line into blistering territory yet. My vac pump hooks right up to it no problem (an official pump made for penis pump cylinders; standard brake bleeders have a much smaller hose connection most times).

I’ll see how long this sleeve lasts, then decide on how much to spend on replacements. Then there’s always the potential for the air valve to blow, I suppose.

I’d recommend anyone using one of these models gets their hands on some broccoli elastics to place on the silicone sleeve where it attaches to the cup, as shown in the LG hanger how-to on YT with KingSnake. The model I have has a built in ridge that appears just for this purpose.

I took a picture of the gear and attached pump, but it looks like it’s not allowed in this part of the forum.

Update:

I’ve gotta say that after nearly a week in, I’m loving my cheapy vac ads/hanger. In truth, my glans are probably too small for the small cup I chose, but I’ve found a work-around by first wrapping the head completely in a thin self-adhering bandage, then sucking the head fully into the cup using my pump before I roll the compression sleeve down. Otherwise, the head can’t be pushed in fully.

I had a few edema issues at the tip of my glans, and after reading a bunch finally realized that wrapping for vac hanging is all about eliminating space in the cup (as opposed to the idea of compressing the skin to avoid swelling in vac pumping).

Overall happy and able to hang 15 pounds comfortably (SO) using this cheap device, though I haven’t done that for any extended time as yet. The sleeve is very soft, so I’ve ordered a red and blue one from Monkeybar in anticipation of the inevitable.

I’m glad you posted it reminded me my small cap never came. Oh well I’ll leave bad feedback and see where it gets me.

I’m glad your having luck with these cheap versions of a vac hanger.

So after a bad review and contacting the seller and eBay I finally got my small cup and I’ll have a second one still on the way from China. They sent one from California free of charge but I’m still pissed because I paid twice the price for it to come from there originally. Oh well I guess if one breaks I’ll have another. I haven’t tried the small cup yet and I haven’t used vac hanger in awhile because November is a busy month in my house with little privacy. So starting tomorrow it’s back to hanging with the bib then using the vac as an ADS. Also it looks like the small cup will fit well and I’ll use my medium cup for days that I incorporate pumping.

Gotta say for anyone reading this that you can’t go wrong with these cheap ads vacs. I’ve actually put in well over 100 hours hanging 10 - 12 pounds SO with this thing, on the same cheap sleeve it came with!

So glad I didn’t spend more, as this kit works just perfect for me. At least give these versions a try, to gauge your interest before going the more expensive route.

Yeah I’m looking to get a chinese vac hanger too to see if it’s right for me and then maybe I’ll get a better model.

I too am not sure if I should go with a small or medium. I read somewhere you want to fill out the cup to prevent blisters. Maybe I’ll order both since they’re pretty cheap.

Are you using a medium sleeve on your shaft and do you use the glands protector thing?

Order both if you have the funds, there cheap enough. I’m glad I did because after I pump I can’t use the small cap.

Btw I have two small caps because of their screw up, if anyone is interested hit me up

Can you attach a regular brake type pump to the cap? How do you release pressure it looks like the check valve is in the cap itself.

Nevermind think I found the answer.

For anyone reading this…

A proper pumping vac pump with the larger hose will attach perfectly. Can’t remember the size, but believe it’s standard, like 3/8 or something.

Brake breeders are much smaller, so you’d have to make an adapter out of a small piece of larger hose to fit on to the cheapo vac cap from China.

How are you making out Hopeful?

The vac cap is still going strong. I know you mention damaging the soft sleeve they come with soon after starting to use it. So ive been diligent in handling it carefully and have had zero issues.

This thing handles 15 pounds (SO) like a beast! Haven’t even bothered with it as an ADS yet, due to the hours of work I’ve been putting in with it as a hanger (three 20 min sets with Male Hanger/two 45 min sets with cheapo vac hanger).

I will say that anyone looking to use the cap and sleeve in the same way I am needs to get a pump hooked up to this thing. Otherwise, you can’t get your glans set inside the cap snugly enough to hit the higher weights - ie., skin further down the shaft will carry the load.
