Pumping Pressure With Gauge

So I was testing out my laluv cylinder and brass pump today and notice that the sensation of suction increases rather dramatically without the gauge moving to 1 hg.

It maybe hit .5 hg and I know there was suction because I couldn’t pull the cylinder off my penis without releasing pressure. I never pumped the handle all the way though. Just little squeezes. How many full pumps does it take to get to 5hg?

Also, how intense a feeling is vacuum pumping?

The gauge seems to be working. If I put it just on my stomach of hand the gauge moves. I’m actually just testing it out. I still need to do more conditioning with manuals. I’d only probably do 1 or 2 hg just for expansion and extra stretch. Not doing long sets yet.

Thanks guys!

All of those questions are subjective. Your penis size and shape in that size cylinder, whatever size it is, is a combination that no other person has. We are all unique. The pump removes a set amount of air per full squeeze so how many pumps it takes *you* to reach 5HG with that cylinder will differ from anyone else’s experience.

How it feels for you and for anyone else, once again…very differing things have been said. That I’ve read. That I’ve felt for myself. You just do what you’re comfortable with. No one can tell you what you’ll feel or how to use the pump more exactly. This is where trial and error come into play.

Yes that crossed my mind. The volume of air remaining will affect the pressure per squeeze as will how my the penis expands.

My main concern I guess was that there was some variable that I wasn’t accounting for that could cause the gauge to read improperly.

I’ll just go slow and be cautious. I’m not in to a pumping routine yet anyways. Just seeing if very low pressure pumping after or between jelqing will help alleviate any outer wall resistance to expansion. Kind of like stretching the surface of the penis before jelqing to hopefully allow greater expansion.

Honestly, do what makes you feel comfortable. That is always the PE that has the best chance of good results, regardless of what you read about what other guys have done. That may be the ticket for you, as it sounds like.

Or, in simpler words…There are guys here who have hung more than 40lbs from their penises and one guy who has used a bench vice to some positive effect (supposedly). Do not compare your journey directly to anyone, as no matter what you read…it isn’t about you.

If your gauge is marked similar to several gauges I have, the lowest marked reading is actually 1.5, with the next whole number tick being 2.0. The gauges don’t have any accurate reading below 1.5. So the lowest whole number pressure you are reading is 2.0”Hg. Just count down from the 5.0 mark to verify your gauge is marked the same way mine is.

Pumping at 2”hg and 3”hg is very safe and although some guys feel some discomfort at that level, to most, the sensation is quite pleasant. For newbies, pumping up to 4 or 5 might seem a little uncomfortable, but usually, pumping straight to 5”hg and holding for 5 minutes or longer would give you small red spots on the head from broken capillaries. The process of conditioning protects you from getting too many of those red spots.

I think you should trust that your gauge is working normally and just get down to enjoying the pumping experience.

Yes indeed. It was somewhat enjoyable even to the point of having to mentally hold back ejaculation. Of course I had edged a bit to get into the tube so that probably helped.

I’ll just proceed with caution.

I have a leluv pump and same thing with the gauge. I think if I pumped it to 5 my dick would explode.

Man, don’t be saying stuff like that to impressionable guys! *laughs*

Everyone is certainly different! I am comfortable past 10 hg in the tube and prefer the feel of higher pressure. I put the tubes and other devices away until the newbie gains subside (on good advice). It’s still fun to pump it up before sex. It’s good PE motivation to use even a little more dick! I will update if my dick explodes. *laughing*.

Well technically it’s this brass pump.

Search eBay

It looks the same as Leluv but these guys sold it cheaper.

I mean the gauge moves so I guess its working. I think I’m just not used to it. Better safe than sorry.

That same brass pump can usually be obtained from Harbor Freight (brake bleeder) for about $23. Also, the following seems similar

Well dang…lol
