5in HG?? I don't feel anything

I just had my first pumping session. I got the pump from vacutech (vacutech.com). It is really high quality, very comfortable, arrived in 3 days (I am not located in the US) and the customer service replies to my emails almost instantly.

I entered the cylinder with my penis erect then pumped till 5in Hg and it didn’t feel like expanding my dick at all.. I continued to pump slowly till I reached 11 in Hg where I started to feel a good expansion in the shaft and that my internal penis part was pulled out of the body. I only stayed at this vacuum for 1 min and then released it because I was afraid it could get dangerous.

Does anyone else here find 5in Hg is not enough to get any gains?
Should I use the vacuum level that makes me feel expanded or just stick with the standard 5 in HG even if it doesn’t feel like doing anything?

At 5in Hg, I found the cylinder base depressing very hard into my pubic bone and I do find tension in my penis.
If you find that dick is not expanding at all, could the pump be calibrated wrongly?

I don’t know if the internal penis part could be pulled out of your body. Where does the internal penis part actually begin?

When you enter the pump when you are rock hard erect, it takes awhile for the vacuum to start affecting your tunica, because it is so rigid. So you have to give the vacuum some time to do its work. Don’t be so impatient. Stay at 5”hg for 10 minutes, then come out of the tube and jelq for 5 minutes, and then pump for another 10 minutes at 5”hg and see what happens.

Just because you didn’t see or feel anything instantly, doesn’t mean you have special capillaries that can handle high pressure without bursting. The body has its breaking points and pumping the way you are at 11”hg, you are exceeding them.

gprent,
thanks for your reply, I will try what you said tomorrow.

losthorizon,
look at an anatomy picture of the penis and you will find that the penis starts from a couple of inches inside the body. this hidden part is what I meant with inner penis. with the higher vacuum i was feeling this part getting pulled out.

Do you reckon that when you are measuring BPEL, some part of the length actually comes from the inner penis?

And some PE length gains are actually contributed in part by the inner penis being pulled out and more exposed?

5 point,

11”hg is way too much pressure for a beginner, even for a veteran pumper. Unless your cock has a red cape with the letter S on it, your capilaries will burst. I pumped for years and the highest I’ve ever gone was 7”hg.

Try 4-15 minute sets at 4”hg, 5”hg, 5”hg and 6”hg. This what I used to do when I started pumping and I made some decent gains without any injuries/bruising. Don’t go into the pump flaccid and cold. Warm up well before you pump (I masterbate for about 10 minutes). Don’t overdo it. Slow and steady wins this race.

Guys:
I don’t know how to say it since you all seem rather conservative…but I usually reach 15” Hg in my pumping sessions! I feel nothing at 5. I feel comfortable at 10 and really expanded at 15. What’s wrong with me? I stay 10 minutes in the cylinder, before a 10 min session of jelqing.
My gauge is ok, I think.
At 15” my lenght is 8, and the glands packs the 2”diameter tube.

Happy pumping folks.

Fefo,

I used to pump at high pressures too. And it seemed as long as I kept up a constant routine, everything was going along fine. My problems would show up when I would take a break for a day or more and then pump again. It was then I would get terrible discoloration. What I determined for myself was that the high pressure pumping was causing a lot of trauma, but as long as I did it consistently, the lymph fluid seemed to mask the trauma that was occurring. Taking a short break and then subsequent pumping revealed the true damage that was going on.

I then took a 6 week break to completely heel up and now after several months of pumping at lower pressures, my results are much better, the trauma is gone and the discoloration is gone, and permanent growth is really kicking in.

So for my experience, trying it both ways, high pressure and low pressure, the low pressure comes out the winner big time.

gprent, I got the same effect you did. I pumped high pressure for a week and got

no discoloration. Then I pumped with low pressure one day and got very very much

discoloration

I also find my thickwall is pressing into my pubic bone, it’s quite painful but that’s more at 7HG and above, around 5HG it’s only mildly painful.
The internal penis (to my knowledge) being pulled out is do to stretched or torn ligaments, it’s a theory that most people here seem to go by for quick decent gains (and it does seem to work) it begins basically exactly where your pubic bone hurts with the pump, right at the top of the penis where it just comes out of the pubic region.
I however do not share the theory of fucking with my ligaments and refuse to damage them as I love my 1:30 oclock to 2:00 oclock erection, it’s the one thing my girlfriend loves about my cock.

If you want to actually get that part of you “out” and work it, you should be using an ADS in a 6:00 oclock position pointing down or pointing the pump down.

You need to be patient with the penis expansion, it literally takes me 15 minutes at 4+ HG to see results, after 35 minutes I’ve nearly packed a 1.75” tube and after about 60 minutes I have significan fatty liquid girth gains (temporary but good for sex)

I’ve noticed with my pump that if I go up to 10Hg then let some pressure off down to 5Hg I get a better vacuum. It could be just my gauge though.

Guys:

You’re new to pumping—I’ve been at it for about 9 years. Trust me. You’ll feel nothing at 5 because of the foreign feeling on that dick. After a while (6 months or so) that 5hg will be fine. You’ll also experience in staying in the tube too long. Blister and a dick that looks like its been in a bar fight and lost. Read Avocets post many times. 5-6” of Vacuum at 8-10 minute sets will get you farther. You must condition just like in the gym. We’re (Gprent, Avocet and other experience pumpers) forewarning you. In kindness and meaning well, Steve

I am usually a person who likes to take things with high intensity. In the gym for example I only do a few preparation sets the only one “real” set with my maximum weight for 5 reps, this intense set is all what counts. It has worked for me since I manage to increase the weight almost every week by 5 lbs for most exercises.

So I thought maybe with the pump if I do shorter sets with a very high pressure it would be better than doing longer sets with lower pressure.

But I think I will stick with the experts advice in this pumping issue and see after 3-4 months what are the results.

Thank you all for your feedback.

Slow and steady wins the race, by your logic hanging with 2000kilograms would be the ultimate - except in reality it would rip your cock clean off.

Pumping is fun anyhow, almost a challenge to see how long you can stay in the tube at a mild pressure, as you get a long, proper stretch.

Gprent, thanks for your comments. Another question arises: Regardless the decoloration, would you say that your gains are better at low pressure than at the previous high levels your dealt with? I don’t care about decoloration but about gains. Thx in advance.
