Always buy Quality….

The brand I wanted via Amazon for a tapered tube was not offered. So…

Lesson learned. Buy quality. Next time.

omg o.o

There was no circumcision involved…it coulda been worse. And I won’t name the brand, but it started with “s” like size, and ended with “m” like matters….about one week of use

Dafuq? With the rolled bottom and thick cap, that looks like a LeLuv tube.

It it was LeLuv, email or call their tech support line and see if they’ll replace it. They’re in Arizona, and their contact information is on their web site, which is "Kodi Distributing".

I call humble brag on this one. NYTxn got so big he smashed through his tube like the Incredible Hulk tears through Bruce Banner’s clothes.

Woah! Did it break while you were using it?

I didn’t think it was. The cap on this one looks moulded as opposed to glued. All my leluv cylinders had the cap as a separate piece that they glued on.
Probably a cheap knock off. I reserve the right to be wrong. 😅

I searched Amazon for a tapered tube but the Kaplan ones weren’t there. This wasn’t LeLuv, it was “Size Matters”. Fortunately I was not in it. It literally fell apart when I disconnected the tube from the female connection atop the cylinder. Maybe 4-5 uses. Clearly thinner walls to it. No cocks were harmed in the filling of this travesty.

[relief] Good. I was hoping LeLuv hadn’t hired a Product Cheapning Department.

The LeLuv tubes seem to be pretty good. I do have one Kaplan version which seems similar to LeLuv. The gold standards remain PumpToys and LA I think.

I tried several of the Size Matters tapered tubes and they all quickly cracked. I like the idea of a tapered tube if I could find one of quality.

Unfortunately, tapered tubes exist to be cheap. They’re blow-molded into a die, which is tapered so the tube can be extracted. The thinner the material, the easier it is to mold.

The two-piece tubes are cut from lengths of tube, the lower ends are heat-shaped, and a cap is glued on. They’re generally thicker material than the blow-molded, tapered tubes.

It’s unusual that they would crack from vacuum, though. Unless… if the fit was close, they might deform somewhat to the shape of your shaft when in use, and they might crack along the sides where the largest amount of flex would happen. Acrylic is a common tube material, and rather brittle.

Just theorizing, though.

Are vacuum tubes acrylic?
