Buying my first pump and need some help

Buy a cylinder. If you were considering an electric pump that says you should be able to afford the $40-150 a cylinder costs. As electric pumps start over $150. Shop around. This is your dick not a dumbbell.

Try LeLuv, Vacu-tech, Pumptoys (I swear by their Velseal) or, if you’re really cheap…buy a CTC tube. They work but they are thin and flex. They’re definitely the most affordable option.

Don’t make a tube. There’s no reason to with the plethora of options out there unless you’re a die-hard experimental type.

No, not the diehard experimental type and money isn’t a problem, just a replacement cylinder for a pump? Did not know they went bad, or replaceable.

They don’t go bad. And they all use the same male and female connectors. You outgrow them or just want to try new ones. I own some from 3 manufacturers all different, use the same pumps with them. Either my electric or manual. Just a matter of current preferences and size.

I cannot post in the supplement session, any thoughts on Maca? It is said to raise estrogen, according to webmd, but have seen posts here on people using it. Question is, isnt raising estrogen contrary to what we trying to accomplish? Isnt testostorone the goal for growth?

Maca serves more to balance the hormones, Not boost it.

I took it for 90 days and I felt more energetic with it.

I bought a bottle of supplements, obviously in pill form, going to stop and see, been using since beginning-mid January. Thanks Pumpbra, I cannot believe you can pump for 1-3 hours! God Bless you brother!

It’s a long duration and low pressure setup. At least it is when I pump over 60 minutes. I set my DP4000 for 2-5HG cycles and wrap a heating pad around the tube.

It’s definitely something you should work up to. Not just something you try when you first start pumping. Edema is common in a setup like that, even with a silicone sleeve. I think one of my posted routines includes my extended pumping regiment.

But this is my long duration pumping experience. Yours may be far different.

Okay, say I have cylinder, and pump with gauge. Can I do one of those cheap fish tank pump set ups? It can be used either way depending on what level PE or PE time I have? If I have an hour, I can pump ultra low with electric pump and play some Xbox/Netflix, you get the point.

If you’re handy, try it. I wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t because long duration pumping is NOT for beginners to pumping. I would limit sets to 20 minutes for the first few months.

Then, honestly I don’t know about the fish pump system. I wouldn’t. If I wanted to run for an hour I’d pick up an electric pump designed for that.

Where would one get a pump like the one you described? Any suggestions, model name, size?

Read back through what we talked about already. I told you I personally use the CTC DP4000 when I go electric. It’s great for hands free pumping and works automatically after you program it and start it up. I told you that the “pulsations” it offers are marketing bullshit. It’s a great pump system otherwise if you need something electric.

Ty. But you should only try it after 1 year of pump.

To start:

Month 1:
5~10 min jelq + 15~20 min pump (5hg), 6 days on, 1 day off.

Month 2:
5~10 min jelq + 20 min pump (5~6hg) + 5~10 min jelq (go slow here). 6 days on, 1 day off.

Month 3:
10 min jelq + 20 min pump (5~6hg). And repeat again after 8 hours. 6 days on, 1 day off.

If you have problems stop for 1 week (or until you heal) and restart everything again.
For better results start erect.
I personally like vacutech products and i do not use any kind of heat source…

Thanks for the advice, but there is no way I could possibly afford 2-3 hours of pumping, hell, I can’t do anything even remotely close to that in my household. God bless you brother, wish I could and would love to be able to go “hands free” like Thoughtful Gold, just don’t want to make the commitment to a DP yet, great advice from the two of you. Looking forward to hear more.

Do I need to be hard or can I pump flaccid? Trying to get erect or even 75% after a warm up isnt always possible (being 50 sucks).

50% is fine. Going erect help seal it better and you start to “stretch” your penis erect witch can give better results.
