Question regarding length of cylinder

Hey guys,

I am using the Bathmate Goliath for quite some time now and I still love it.

However, due to privacy reasons, I also want to buy an air pump. I have more time to use an air pump than a water pump (allthough I will continue using the BM).

I don’t want to pay customs fees etc. so I want to order my air pump in the EU. I found this one:

http://www.lede rwerkstatt.eu/d … laengerung.html

I have a question regarding the length. The page says the the inner length of the cylinder is 21 cm (8.26"). My BPEL is 18 cm (7.1"). Is the length of the cylinder enough or should I better look for a longer cylinder?

At maximum pressure in the Bathmate I get a length of 20.5 cm (8.07")

Also: Anyone knows the LAP cylinder? Is it a good brand?

Just found out that https://www.thickwall.co.uk is also in the EU. They have a larger assortment of pumps than lederwerkstatt, and they are even cheaper. Starter sets are in the 100 Euro area.

Does anyone know about the quality of the thickwall stuff? Is it comparable with LAP?

Both Thickwall and LAP feature professional thick walled cylinders that will basically last a lifetime. The difference is the LAP package comes with a durable metal and brass pump while the Thickwall package comes with a less durable plastic pump. The main thing is you get a pump with a gauge.

The basic length of the cylinders for each is 9" and you choose the diameter based on your girth. You can purchase longer cylinders, but the 9" is right for you.

I discussed Thickwall and the cheaper way to get a really good brass pump here: /penis-pumps/good-pump.v3.html#post2098381

I’ve used Thickwall for quite a while now. It’s really good stuff.

If you are already getting 8” in the Bathmate, I would suggest a 10” cylinder. There’s never any harm in having a little extra cylinder length.

Many thanks for the replies guys!

Got two thickwall cylinders. They’re my pride and joy.

They are nice! :)

Can I take one of the starter kits () or should I buy cylinder and pump extra to get the more expensive pump ()

I mean, is the quality of the pump that is included in the starter kit ok or should I go for the expensive pump?

The metal pump is a much more durable pump. Plastic pumps have a bad history of handle breakage.

Did you read the link I put in my post 6 posts above this? You can get the high quality pump much cheaper than buying it from Thickwall, and it’s the same kit. Just remember to order the hose connector as well, when you order your cylinder.

Got my pump from Thickwall today and had to try it immediately of course.

Very comfortable. I was very carful and did not pump over 3 hg/in and stayed in for only 10 minutes. Got a BPEL of 18.5 cm = 7.3” in the tube. Wondering how much it would be with 4 or 5 hg/in.

Very nice “feature”: The 2” cylinder fits perfectly in my BM Goliath, and the pump also has place in the bag that came with the Goliath. So I can store both the Goliath and the air pump in the bag - very space-saving!

I don’t know if I like the BM or the air pump more, time will tell. One advantage of air pumping is that I don’t have to fill the bath tube, so air pumping is “quicker”, and I can air pump even at night when the family sleeps. That wouldn’t be possible with the BM because the family would be curious if I would fill the bath tube every night. So I can air pump more often than water pumping, that’s for sure.

Enjoy! :)

Thanks, will do :)

I’ll keep you updated on gains (hopefully) ;)

Ok, I started with 10 minutes at 3 hg, now I am pumping 13 minutes at 4 hg.

My penis is packing the tube at the first one and a half inches. Not sure if this is a problem, but I want to go for length anyway.

What I noticed: When I used the BM Goliath (2 x 10 mins), my penis was much more engorged after the workout than it is with the air pump now. I have almost no engorgement after the workout. Is this because I am pumping only 13 minutes per session so far? Or could it be because I am packing the tube at the base? Might this be prevent the penis from engorging?

I can post photos tomorrow if this helps.

Another info that might help. My BPEL is 18 cm (7.1”). In the BM, at full pressure, I get 20.5 cm (8.1”), but in the air pump at 4.5 hg I get only 18.5 cm (7.3”). Is this normal?
