Ebay and pumping

Hey guys, I’m totally ignorant of the pumping world but I am toying with the idea of trying it. The question is has anyone ever ordered a pump off e-bay? I know some guys have ordered ADS units from eBay and been happy, but to be honest pumping kinda scares me and I don’t want a unit that’s going to rip by penis and balls off. And I I know a gauge is a must if I get one but is there anyone else to look for. If I do order one I’m probably going to go with a 2” tube. I measure BPEL = 7” EG = 5” sometimes a little over 5” depending on the day. Any advice?

I think I ordered a Kaplan from Ebay. Get the cylinder from Ebay if its a good deal and order the pump from Harbor Freight

Harbor Freight Tools – Quality Tools at Discount Prices Since 1977

This is a very good unit with a gauge that is accurate.

Read up on pumping 101 and you will have all the info you need to get started safely.

Yup already read the whole 101 thread, thanks for the quick response!

What are the increments on the gauge on the pump? Is it small enough to be safe at 3-5 Mercury? I know you said it was accurate.

Absolutely! Its the same as they sell at Pump sites, its actually one of the best ones that is sold for pumping, but they mark it way up! Lots of the pumps that are sold are cheap crap, this is one of the better to best ones. This is all metal and very durable.

So I just went ahead a bought this unit. it was going to be the same price to buy the pump from that car site, and then a kaplan tube was running around 30 bucks, and that didn’t include shipping I got this unit for 58 bucks including shipping. I haven’t paid for it, I wanted to hear some input on the unit. I can always back out I suppose and take a negative feedback. Thanks in advance like I said I’m totally ignorant of this Field.

Now that you mention it the pump does look plastic. Is it no good?

I think that is the same unit I bought.

The pump is a cheap plastic one, but should work fine. If and when it breaks then go order the Harbor Freight one. The Kaplan cylinder is fine, but it is flaired at the bottom so make sure you are fairly erect when you go into the tube, or it may tend to suck in a testicle. The seller looks like he has a good rating so it looks like it should be fine for you.

Its says the length is 8.5, I believe mine is about 10 inches, so maybe it isn’t the same.

The one in the link seems to be flared a little at the bottom also. I think I’m going to go ahead and pay for it.

All paid for, now the long wait for it to get here. I’m excited to get started. Now I just need to figure out a way to be here when it arrives so my room mates don’t ask, “whats in the box”. Could be a little weird. And thanks for your advice!

What I did several months ago was buy a pump from Autozone(pretty solid pump) and then I just bought a cheap little pump cylinder combo from ebay just for the cylinder rather then buy those 80 cylinders off the internet for the same size. Total I spent 43.00.

This is the pump I bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Extra-Large-Penis-Pump-PENIS-ENLARGER-GAIN-SIZE-NOW_W0QQitemZ190260865743QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item1 90260865743&_trkparms=72%3A1205|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3 A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

My reasoning for doing it this way was if the pump broke I could always take it back to Autozone to exchange it for a new one.

Ah that’s a good idea, too late o well. What being a little more poor to an already poor college kid right. O and a quick question. Does anyone get red spots from pumping? I get them from stretching (from having to grab my glans so tightly) and they are kind of annoying even though they don’t cause any discomfort. But how do you explain them to a girl, I’m sure they would run for the hills if they saw them.

You read Pumping 101? The WHOLE thing? Read it all if you want to pump, all your questions WILL be answered.

Yes, red spots are small capillaries bursting. They are indicators not to go any higher with vacuum. They usually go away in a day or so and aren’t any big deal, but its important to take it as an indicator that you are at the top of your vacuum range.

Yea I didn’t realize that the thread was sixty pages long! I read 18 pages and I can’t read anymore. But I’m starting to think I made a mistake going with a 2” tube. O well we will see what happens, and ill take everything very very slowly. I refuse to do anything crazy with my member. Ill probably start pumping at like 2-3 Hg for the first week just to make sure.

Another thing about red spots - in my experience, over time, as long as you don't increase vacuum levels, they will not happen as frequently. My guess is that for any given force level, you get some red spots as you blow out the weak spots, they heal, and you’re conditioned at that level.

Take a deconditioning break, however, and you may well once again get red spots at the level that used to be ‘safe’ before.

Keep the vacuum low, keep the session short, and you’ll be fine.

One thing I recommend to those just starting out pumping is to decide on your routine in advance, and then do not exceed it, no matter how tempted you are to go longer.
