10Hg and above vacuum pressure pros and cons

I’d like this thread to be for those who have engaged in high vacuum pressure pumping to leave feedback, both positive and negative. And by high pressure, I’m talking double digits. I’ll start.

I very recently (in my fourth week of pumping) started hitting 10Hg on my pumping workouts for a few minutes of my last set. Before that, I would start at 5, then go to 7, then end up at 8 or 9HG. I had ZERO negative physiologic indicators other than my EQ would not be full strength for a couple days, then it would come back stronger than ever. I still got morning wood, and I had no discoloration, no numbness, no blood spots, no excessive edema etcetera. During my pumping session last night, I finally got the nerve to do 10Hg for the full 10 minute set, with some spikes to 15Hg. As of this morning, I have not noticed any negative PI. I still had morning wood, minimal lymphatic fluid build up, and I was still able to have a strong erection after the pumping session and hours afterwards. My erection isn’t as strong as on my rest days however, but that’s normal. Of course it’s too early to say whether any size increases are in, but I’ll update the thread periodically.

My penis seems to be ridiculously resistant to high vacuum pressure. When I first started pumping a month ago, 5Hg felt very intense to me. Now 5Hg feels like nothing. That said, I do have some history with pumping. My first foray began 10+ years ago with an expensive Vacutech pump. My girth increased from 5.00 EG to 5.25 over 6 months, and I had no length increase (original NBPEL was 6.85). Fast forward to today, I’ve seemingly gained 1/4 of an inch in length and roughly 1/2 an inch in girth in just one month’s time with my current stats being 7.10 NBPEL, BSEG 5.75 and MSEG 5.5. The only explanation I have for my penis being so receptive now compared to years ago, is that I am a far healthier person who no longer smokes, exercises regularly and takes lots of health supplements.

So I’ve heard of “some” guys getting really good, and really fast results from high vacuum pressure pumping. Of course, generally this is definitely not the recommended stratagem as high pressure can potentially be very dangerous to the penis. But some people seem to take to it like a duck to water for whatever reason. So for those people, and for anyone else that’s ever tried using double digit vacuum pressure, please leave some feedback on your experience, whether positive or negative.

Thanks! :D

I did extreme high pressure for 10 months last year over 58 sessions. I wrote it in this log here: PE4F High Pressure Pumping: thoughtfulgold

I had overall good results. But there’s a lot to the learning curve beyond 15HG.

Talk about a "gold mine" of information! :D Man, you are one detailed and patient son of a gun I have to say. I think you’ve taken PE to a level that very few men will ever achieve. By comparison, I’m a smash and grab kind of guy. I want results fast and easy, although I admit that’s a dangerous mentality for PE. So far though, I seem to be getting my way. In my session last night I was easily able to handle 10Hg with ease for 10 minutes, and I did 12 Hg for 10 minutes as well on my 3rd set. So it seems my acclimation process is really going well. If it continues to go at this pace, I will be hitting 20Hg in another week or so.

Still haven’t had any negative PIs other than a weaker erection, but it always comes back stronger and harder during my rest time so I’m not too worried about that.

BTW @ thoughtfulgold, your experiences with pumping and curve/bend correction mirrors my own. I started jelqing when I was 19, and because my technique was unrefined I ended up making my penis bend slightly towards the right. When I started pumping, the bend was completely normalized after about a month and is now completely straight.

Sadly it’s hard to measure, but I can say more or less sure with 12HG I get same length as my BPFSL (8 1/2 inches) and that’s significantly bigger than my ordinary BPEL (8 inches). Sometimes i get extra horny erections and those are a bit bigger, but not even close to that. I’ve tried 16HG for very short time, but size stays more or less same.

Is that good or not, hard to say. I suppose high pressure and low pressure routines are quite different and first one focuses more on stretching, while second focuses more on circulatory system.

I am a researcher at heart. An engineer. Just use my skills for dick biggerizing lol. Thank you for the compliment.

That’s a common mentality. When the easy gains stop most guys quit. Hopefully you hit your goals before then. Otherwise it may not go well.

That…is not how it works. You’ll find out at that rate of ramp up though.

Past performance is not an indicator of future success. Same adage for finance as for PE.

How often do you pump if I may ask?

Well my particular penis seems to have a strong bias towards girth. For me, gaining girth is much easier than length for some reason. When I gained a 1/4 of an inch in length after a month of intensive pumping, it was an absolute shock because I’ve always wanted to be in the 7 inch range for a long time. That said, I still ended up earning more girth than length LOL!

Yeah, you definitely are meticulous to be sure.

After my first month, I was expecting a dramatic slow down in growth. That’s probably why I’m pushing to increase the vacuum pressure so rapidly so I can continue to take advantage of the growth spurt.

Too early to say yet of course, but I usually do an OK grip with my thumb and index finger around my midshaft daily (been doing this since I started PEing), and usually it’s a very snug fit. However when I did it today, it was snug, but there was also some skin that was being displaced. This told me that my dick might have gotten a bit plumper. I will measure at the end of the week on my off days as usual to see whether or not it’s true, or simply my imagination.

Yeah I think you’re right. I should definitely slow down. It’s not like this is a race or anything. But time is precious, and there’s some girls I am talking to which I know I could get some pussy from. But I have been delaying it because of my PE. Juggling PE and real life sex is kind of hard, because if you want to experience dramatic growth, then you have to increase intensity. And greater intensity requires more downtime, which means less time for real sex.

I monitor my penis daily and after sessions for any discrepancies, so I am being very careful. No blood blisters, spots, discoloration, numbness, loss in sensitivity (there’s actually an increase), excessive edema (even with high pressure I don’t donut) etcetera. As I said before, the only negative PI I’ve had is a slight loss of EQ. But this has been occurring since I started pumping over a month ago, even at lower pressures. Low pressure now of course doesn’t do that anymore, so the loss in EQ was obviously just an adaptive side effect which is temporary.

Just my two cents… I’m not an engineer or whatsoever but if PV= nRt you should never try to go lower than 20-25 hg or water in your blood and tissue will start literally to boil and that would really be a problem.

I think you mean “go higher.” So far I haven’t come close to hitting 20Hg. I was way to premature when I said that I would hit 20Hg in another week. I can’t even see myself hitting 15Hg in another week.

I actually changed up my routine. I think that if you’re going to do high pressure sets, then you need to do less sets. Before I was doing four, now I’m going to do three. I start at 5Hg, then go to 8Hg, and then to 12Hg with 5 minute breaks between. Eventually, I want to do 5-10-15.

I started the new routine tonight, because I noticed that I needed 3 full days to recover from last weeks high intensity sets. Usually I only need 2 days, so obviously I was overdoing it a bit.

I did it for a year. The outside of the penis is exposed to the negative pressure and reaches the vacuum level on the gauge. Your lubricant will cold boil, which causes most of them to break down. Vaseline holds its viscosity well but must be replenished. A cold boil does not harm your skin as it is still the same temperature as the ambient inside of the cylinder being evacuated.

The inner pressure of the penis never reaches what the vacuum gauge states. Reason being it is a sealed organ so only the meatus and some of the urethra take some level of the pressure.

I did do it for a year, with pictures and explicit directions in my routines. So I simply want it to be known it isn’t like your penis would simply explode under full vacuum. The practice is high level and carries significant danger but is not what most think it is.

OK here’s an update from me. My new three set routine seems to be paying off. I start at 5Hg, then go to 10Hg, and then do 15Hg, for 10 minute sets each with 5 minute breaks between. It seems that every 2 weeks I am experiencing significant growth in both length and girth.

I have a progress report thread with pics now if anyone wants to take a look. Link is in my sig.

Never measured because I don’t have a guage, but I worked up over a few months to max pressure in the Bathmate Hercules and vacu vin mod maxed out till its valve clicked.

Results, very quick gains (and I’m a hardgainer who hadn’t seen gains in years before adding pumping) which sadly eventually topped out, donut everyday, frequent blood spots under the glans skin, and several times blood leaking out from the urethra.

@ sithvicious, never use a pump without a gauge. The chances of injury skyrocket when you do that. And those Bathmate pumps are particularly dangerous because you can hit some high vacuum pressures with them if you’re not careful.

That said, high pressure pumping from my experience is definitely effective for fast gains in both length and girth. But it only works if your unit can recover fast enough between pumping sessions and on rest days for growth to be possible.
