Lap pump = harbor freight tools pump

Are there any threads with pictures of these home-made pumps?

After 6 months of mostly daily pumping with a mity-vac plastic handle pump, the handle broke mid session yesterday. I jury-rigged a new handle with drilling and wood and bolts and that lasted another day, until it snapped. Now I have nothing other that lung force for vacuum. So I will go on a break until replacing the vacuum device.

Additionally all of my tubes are designed for other purposes. I have a gravel aquarium vacuum tube, a paintball refill tube and a 4” straw dispenser (for package pumping). Each of these tubes required significant effort to make them both comfortable and airtight. Plus I have repaired the gravel tube leaks with various sealant several times. Adding up the cost of the tubes, mity-vac, and silicone/epoxy sealant I think I have spent around $75. And it still is not very comfortable.

Looking at picturebrite I can buy a metal pump [same as LA Harbour], 2” tube, and a 2.25” tube for around $90. This will probably be more comfortable than any flaring and other techniques I have used.

Plus I can detach the pump.

I have no plans to stop pumping, therefore in the long term I think picturebrite is the best deal available now.

Would you guys recomend this as a good starter pump?

Don’t know if you still need this answered, but I would buy from picturebrite.com. For just the pump with hose and connector, you want item P131 and for a pump package with cylinder you want P134. That is of course if a 2” cylinder is the right size for you.

They do ship overseas, and I believe you just have to email them for shipping charges when you make your order.

So I bought the harbor freight pump and bought the cylinder from picture brite. Where can I buy the hose with the connector? I check picture brite but couldn’t find it.

You should have bought everything from Picturebrite as the pump comes with the hose and connector.

Go to Mcmaster.com and buy several feet of PN 53955K14 clear tubing and PN 501K251 male quick disconnect coupler.

Thanks gprent. I had already bought the pump awhile ago then I recently saw the cylinder per your recommendation. I just wasn’t sure what coupler would fit the jim diamond cylinder. Thanks for the part numbers.

How long are the cylinders from Picturebrite?

Nine inches.

Thanks, man.

Thanks gprent, you saved me a lot of money by leading us to the pumps at Picturebrite Corp. I bought a pump w/ a gauge, a 2.5 inch tube, and another metal cock ring for my collection all for less than 90 dollars (including rush delivery shipping $17). My Jim Diamond pump and tube arrived at my doorstep yesterday. It was packaged discreetly and everything arrived undamaged. Picturebrite is by far the best out-of-the-box deal without sacrificing quality.

However, there is one thing I am concerned about. The tube I ordered is a flared 8.5 inch long cylinder and I did not think to check the cylinder length before I paid for it (it never occurred to me that I might pack a tube lengthwise). I am 7.5 inches NBP erect and my immediate PE goal is to reach 8.5 inches NBP erect (on a rest day) and then max out my girth. Should I return this cylinder to Picturebrite and order a 9 or 10 inch ThickWall cylinder from Vacu-Tech? Will I run into any problems in the future as I approach 8.5 inches in erect length? Should I even assume that I will ever pack the tube lengthwise? I assumed it might be a problem because I have read of guys whose penises expand more than an inch in the tube after they become experienced pumpers. It doesn’t seem irrational that I will eventually expand an inch in the tube, which doesn’t have enough room to accommodate anything larger.

So far it is comfortable and I would hate to have to wait another week to get started with my new routine. I wouldn’t mind buying another tube in the future if it came down to it. I don’t imagine I will pack this tube lengthwise for a while. I am hoping the answer is that I should cross that bridge when I get to it, but I know the fellas at TP keep it real, thanks.

Looking at retention-head’s avatar, the cylinder doesn’t appear to be actually cylindrical. I was wondering has anyone pondered the idea of making a pump chamber similar to the penis in shape? What would it take to do it?

Thank Sultan, I am going to have to feed the pig for a few months to save up for that gem. I think I will get one, as I find it hard to get a good seal without having the side of my pole in pain.

No problem, I think it’s pretty cool they thought of it. I wonder if it is more effective in delivering gains than the standard cylinder.
