Have you tried bibs hanger? If so would you prefer bibs or elite hanger.

I have not tried Bibs actual hanger, but the homemade setup I WAS using was modeled to be very similar to the Bibs hanger. At the end of the day I was using my own homemade one, so I can’t really say anything about the Bibs hanger, other than the fact that it IS a compression hanger. I have tried a couple different compression hangers in my day and its always the same story… the thing the prevents a compression hanger from slipping off is always gonna be the blood trapped in your glans… just like when you use a penis extender that uses a strap, it has to trap blood in the glans in order to not slip off, and personally I never liked this. Using suctions has so far been a way WAY better and more comfortable experience for me, for all of the reasons I listed in my original post of this thread.

You have chosen wisely. Your assessment on the potential negative side effects of compression hangers is accurate. Nothing good ever comes from depriving blood from a body part.
Two other things to consider when choosing a vacuum based weight hanging device….

#1 - Does it use a hand pump with a gauge to determine how much Hg vacuum is being extracted? All too often devices that rely on mouth suction or the use of a little bulb to draw out vacuum won’t allow you to know how much vacuum you’re using, and if your sucking a hose with your mouth then you’re likely using too much vacuum. The volume of space inside any vacuum chamber is so small that 10Hg’s is such a tiny amount that it’s almost imperceptible. Have you ever drank a thick milkshake with a straw? If so, do you know that suction is equivalent to between 40 - 60 Hg’s of vacuum pressure? Blisters are often the result of using too much vacuum. So be sure to use a vacuum device that incorporates a hand pump with a gauge that measures Hg vacuum pressure. Ideally you should need no more than 5 - 12 Hg’s of vacuum (depending on how much weight you are using).

#2 - What’s the depth of the vacuum chamber / dome / cap you’re using? Too many of these vacuum caps are just too shallow. They are injection molded plastic cups that are rarely 1 1/2” inches deep. If your chamber has too shallow of a depth it’s traction pull is more from the glans and not much on the shaft behind it. This too will be more likely to cause a blister. So be sure your chamber is at a minimum 2” deep.

as far as your #1 goes, the Elite-Hanger I am using does come with a mouth-hose for sucking air out, but as I also said in my original post of this thread, the material is SO grippy that I could hang almost 7 pounds without sucking ANY air out. Whenever I put the hose on I only suck the BARE MINIMUM air out. I never ever suck hard at all. I suck until I feel that air is not coming out naturally anymore, but once I get to that point where I would have to apply some actual pressure to force more air out, I stop and I never “force” the suction of more air out. So far in my experiences you barely have to suck any air out at all in order to get a super strong grip that holds 10lbs no problem so, personally I can’t say that I have found this “suction pressure with no gauge to read the amount of pressure” thing to be a problem at all with my Elite-Hanger

now your #2 is legit… I’m only 7x4.8 when hard, and after taping up and wearing the glans sleeve, I barely can fit my head in the bell and I ordered the largest size bell they offer. (They only offer Small, Medium, and Large). I was shocked at first because I was thinking “do I really need the largest size bell? I’m not really a hugely hung guy but… the size chart they have for the product online was very clear and I measured ten times to be certain. But as far as the depth, its definitely at least 2 inches deep so I don’t feel any huge issues there

You may not be a porn star, but usually anyone that is considered to be “average” in size will need a XL dome if it’s an injection molded cap from China. Which is why all the chambers I manufacture are from solid round optically clear Lexan acrylic and are precision machined to size based on measurements you provide. Nobody is too big to fit! I have several guys who’ve had PMMA procedures done by Surgery Life Enhancement that are in the 7” + circumference range just below glans, and I make chambers for them.

Yea man, in all honesty, I looked at your hanger first in my decision making. And if I’m continuing to be honest, it does appear to be a higher quality “total package” as far as the bell and all accessories included than the hanger I ended up buying… however as I’m sure you already know, at the end of the day, it came down to price. If I had the option, I would absolutely prefer a Mercedes over a Civic…. but… sometimes the Civic still gets the job done and its the only option that the budget will allow

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would agree if the comparison was between a Mercedes and a Civic…. especially if you’re looking for a economical commute ride. However the old adage “you get what you pay for” is applicable here, especially when it comes to PE equipment. The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the low price is forgotten. I wish I could post all the emails we receive from guys who have made the upgrade and have commented on the newly found gains.

Well I had read MANY mixed reviews about the entire concept of vacuum hangers as a whole, so I was quite skeptical about them. I didn’t want to risk a legit investment because I didn’t know if I would even like the concept of vacuum hanging at ALL. However, now that I have tried the vacuum style, and I absolutely love the vacuum style, I know now that I WILL be sticking with vacuum hanging for a long time, so I am now planning to make a legitimate investment in a high quality rig as soon as funds will allow.
I’ll make another thread reviewing that as well after its acquired.

This week I am up to 9 lbs with my Elite Hanger and I am now getting a bit of fluid buildup “edema” underneath the shaft about a inch and a half down from the glans.. I never had this before.. I starting at 4 lbs and adding 1 lb per week and hanging 2/1 hr sets twice daily morning and evening.. This is my second day at 9 lbs and yesterday I had a bit of the swelling/edema same area both sets and this morning too but this morning was not as bad as yesterday.. All last week at 8 lbs was excellent with no edema at all.. Its not alot just lumpy little turtle neck spot that go’s away in less than an hour.. Just curious on why this is happening with 9 lbs and nothing at 8lbs.I might drop back to 8 for tonight’s hang or try 8 1/2 lbs and see if I still get it.

First of all I think 1 whole pound every week is way way too fast. I mean… you have almost nowhere to go soon. I’d increase 1 lb per 3 weeks personally. SO that MAY be a contributor to your issue to some degree, but its hard to be sure.

As far as your irritation issue on your shaft, its hard to say, as I have never personally experienced this, but my first thought of suggestion is to try putting a little bit of protective tape or padding (like some tissue maybe) on the area that usually gets affected, and then put your rubber sleeves on top of that. I doubt its a suction pressure issue, sine most of the suction pressure occurs in the bell, but if it is, then more tape or padding on the area should help.
If its just an issue of your skin being stretched, then I’d see if you could try wearing the sleeves a little differently. Maybe try putting a little bit of slack in the penis sleeve at the point of irritation, or something of that nature, and hopefully you can play around with things until your get a situation that feels better.

If what you are experiencing truly is edema, then I’d almost certainly bet its from the rapid increase in weight. Just remember, its ( consistency x time ) that gets you results. Intensity should only be considerably increased when you’ve given that formula a fair chance for a while and its not working.

I’m actually considering ordering this myself. I’ve always been intrigued by hanging, but the lengthy process of getting the wrapping perfect was kind of intimidating. This looks like a good starter for me, then maybe upgrading one day. Glad to know someone on here enjoys it.

I literally found it on YouTube and had to do some digging first lol

yea man, I absolutely love it. Its worth a chance, believe me. And then if you get really into it you’ll have options to upgrade further if you ever want / need to.

I’m just reporting back!
My own came in the mail today, almost exactly 2 weeks ago. I had signed up for the email and text notification of when they ship it out, but didn’t hear anything back. I guess one should just be expecting it within 2 to 3 weeks.

My initial reaction to this vacuum hanger is it’s very straight forward and super grippy. It quickly attaches, and you can just suck a little air out for it to hold comfortably.

My dumbass ordered a medium sized bell because I didn’t take the time out to actually measure and should’ve re-read your post to see that you went with a large. I immediately ordered the large size bell housing and I can expect it within, you guessed it, 2 weeks time.

I taped the hell out of my glands as I’m uncircumcised and was still able to slide my head into the bell being 7.5”×5.5”. Tight squeeze, but I only hung BTC for 15 min using 5 lbs to get a feel for it.

There was a slight discomfort like it felt like it was slipping, but checking with my camera phone everything was fine and in place. The 15 minutes went back quickly and I can tell with the correct size bell that this thing is going to be a great tool. I’ll keep hanging low weight and shortly timed sets until my larger bell comes in.

All in all I’d recommend it over the LG Hanger for the cost saving because fuck $400+ dollars bro. That to me in my opinion is unreasonable no matter how much quality goes into it. You can receive the same gains and save some money in your pocket.

4 out of 5 stars thus far. I’ll update later.

I will have to disagree. The LG hanger is able to provide friction based traction if used correctly letting your glans pack the chamber, a superior method to only vacuum attachment.
