Heat = Quickest way to pack a tube.

So True Heat is absolutely essential

I decided to buy a heat pad. Went for the beurer hk25. It’s quite different from using an ir lamp. It gets reasonably warm but that’s about it. The lamp hits ridiculous temperatures. I have to say by the end of a 15 min session I was very engorged. The lamp is a direct heat to wherever you shine it but the pad I wrapped around the tube giving an all over heat. Great results. For the price of the pad and hassle of getting expensive bulbs and keeping them safe I would recommend the pads. Only downside you have to keep removing it to check on your penis, no big deal though. Just don’t go wild with high pressure as you can’t see what going on.

Sorry if this question hhas already been asked, but is it not dangerous to heat the tubes?

I have no idea of what material every tube is, but when you heat up these cylinders, isnt there the possbillity of unhinging substances from it, which could be bad for you?

Anybody?..

Alot of house hold devices have plastic that gets hot. Just look in the kitchen, or your car on hot summers day.

If it is a quality cylinder, made from quality materials, I don’t see the problem. You can always check online how heat resistant the material is.

I would think you would cook your penis before you got to a heat that would start breaking down the plastic. ;)

Well, im not concerned about breaking the cyclinder but about the plasticizer (or other material that is bad for a human) that could get out when heated a lot.

A lot of the stuff in the kitchen is especially made for being heated.

What material for a quality cylinder do you suggest?

Cast acrylic sheet and block have properties that make them suitable for a wide variety of applications.

General Properties:
Relative Density 1.19 g/cm3

Refractive Index 1.49

Hm, ok. I will trust those numbers.

I use constant heat with a head pad and get GREAT expansion. As long as you keep the heat on the low to moderate setting and check periodically, you should have no problem. I have never packed a tube more quickly!

Interesting reading through the entire thread that nobody came back to report any permanent gains.

I’ve only been using heat for about two weeks so the permanent gain claims for me will have to wait.

Heat has the power to increase elasticity of all tissues. But elasticity has the power to revert back to where you started easily. :D

I’ve been using constant heat now for 2 months, and have gained 0.1” in both girth and length in that time.

From pumping only ?

From a pumping routine, including stretches and jelqing.

I’ve increased the time in the cylinder by a few minutes over the 2 months, so there are variables. Therefore, I can’t claim that heat was the only factor in my recent gains. Nor can I say that they are only from pumping, even though pumping is the primary exercise in my routine.

I do feel though, that heat has had a big part in those gains, just from the extra expansion in the cylinder I’ve got from adding it.

What will be interesting, if those gains continue now that I’m not planning on changing anything in my routine in the near future.

You can read more about my routine, etc. in my progress report, if you are interested. :)
