Advice on buying.

I know there are lots of threads on this already and I have gone through quite a few of them but I’d still like some advice before I make a big investment.

Place to buy from?
From other threads:
PenisDepot
LA Pump
Vacu Tech
Boston pump

Style of pump/cylinder?
Metal vs plastic pump.
Tapered, straight walled, rimmed, custom design?

Multiple cylinders?

I live in Canada so the shipping cost can really kill the “deals” most of the sites offer.

I want a fairly reasonable price ($150 max for total cost) with good quality.

I’ve looked into making my own, but the coupler parts alone would end up costing enough to not make that viable.

The only hand-pump in my area is a $85 mityvak brake bleed kit, so I’m thinking of just getting a beginner package deal from one of the sites.
(pump + cylinder)

Any general advice on getting started would be appreciated.

Plastic pump handles tend to break.

For me the most comfortable cylinders are straight wall rimmed.

Penisdepot prices include shipping.

I say go with penisdepot, metal pump, straight wall rimmed cylinder.

Shipping price is included for shipping to Canada as well, no hidden fees?

If so I guess I’ll mail them about the payment options,
they have a PayPal account so I’ll see if I can go that route.
Otherwise I’ll have to Postal Money Order it because I don’t have a Credit card/don’t want to use one. :D

Whoops, Canada might be an added shipping cost. Sorry about that. Ask them how much, but everyone from the States will add extra for shipping. Hope it is not too much!

I just bought one of the cheap ones from the stores.. It cost 13-15 dollars and works great.

Our Price: $12.49
Usually ships in 1-2 days

Why spend a fortune.. Personally I’m not sure pumping will increase length alone.. Just got an extender from X4, and use the pump and the extender in tandem.
So far so good.. Day 29 and have .2" gains so far.

There is only one thing good about that pump. It will give you some idea if you are going to like pumping. If it turns out you do like pumping, you will have to invest in a more professional system that will last several years as opposed to a month or two for that ultra cheap pump.

Most of those cheap pumps aren’t big enough.

Why spend $20-30 on something that you’ll have to upgrade from soon afterwards.
I’d rather spend more for the more professional equipment that will last a good long time.

Even if I don’t like it enough for my routine I could use it once a month to change things up or just for fluffing.

1. Big was the wrong word, I meant to say long in the last post.
7” tube isn’t long enough. They also don’t come in 1/4” increments making it hard to find the right one for you.

2. I sent in an e-mail with a few questions, hopefully they respond fast and I don’t come to my senses and realise I can’t afford it at the moment. :D

I am pleased with my vacutech cylinders and pump. They’re not cheap. They come in 1/4” increments and are at least 9” long.

So shipping will be roughly $30.
The reply didn’t actually answer my other two questions so I sent another.

I’ve already started transferring the money to my PayPal so I’ll probably have one in the next month.

Pretty cool, they updated their online store after our conversations.

PayPal is now an option in the online store.
I didn’t suggest it or anything, they just made things more accessible for people and that’s a smart move.

Looks like the Canadian mafia is still respected. :)

Dew—bry:

I have read your current stats. The following will work for you just fine and especially if on a budget. These will last a long time:

Cylinder: http://www.drug store.com/piped … msrch=pipedream ($ 9.09 on current sale)

Pump: Harbor Freight Tools, "U S General, Item #92474 ($22.99 on current sale)

Both are compatible and are of lasting quality.

The link doesn’t work for me (think I found it, but it doesn’t state size) and Harbor Freight doesn’t ship to Canada last I checked.
Plus the separate shipping costs for both items would basically make it cost the same as getting the beginner kit from penisdepot.

Canadian mafia, lol.

I guess the “Hands across borders, think NAFTA” doesn’t work to the North. Sorry about that.

The size of the cylinder is 7 3/4” inside length and 2 1/16” i.d. width.
