Save a Bundle on Pumps!!!

For anyone thinking of buying a new manual pump…don’t waste your money at those expensive “Penis Pump” sites!!! Shop the auto parts chain stores and SAVE!!

I got a complete MityVacII pump system (identical to what one site calls their deluxe Hydro Pump) for $25 at Auto Zone. This pump lists for between $52-65 at various penis pump sites.

Also picked up an Actron vacuum pump (exactly like what LA Pump calls the BEST pump on the market) for $39 at Advance Auto Parts. I believe they charge $59 for it.

Does anyone know which of the high quality cylinders are best? ACME gets $65 for their standard tube. Dr. Joel Kaplan is now asking $69 for his. And, LA Pump wants $75 for theirs. That seems pretty high for an acrylic cylinder. Any thoughts??

I use a fuel bulb/ primer for boat motor. I have enough hose on the open end case I need to pull bit more vaccum like a straw. Sounds odd but it works.

BIG Future, that is pretty ingenious. Wouldn’t have thought you could pull enough vacuum with a bulb device. I am brand new at this, and have a lot to learn. Been reading all I can about the whole subject of PE…especially regarding equipment. Bought a couple of online PE manuals (before I discovered the free forums), and feel like the pay sites are mostly just rip-offs. Nothing special or unique about any of them…just jelks and stretches and selling add-ons. Thundersplace is TEN times more helpful than ANY commercial site I have seen.

I’m especially interested in stretching, hanging, and pumping at this point. Have everything I need for pumping except the cylinder. Just checked VacuTech, and they are asking $69.95 for the MityVacII pump. I paid $25 for mine (theirs is marked up a whopping 280%)!! So, I am guessing that the $84.95 they want for a flared cylinder ($94.95 for a thick-walled version) is an equally ridiculous mark-up.

Does anyone know where a good quality cylinder can be purchased for less than $65 (the BEST price I’ve been able to find so far)? If so, I’d appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks!!

Skin used to make tubes, and offered to make me one for $30. See this thread. I haven’t bought or made a tube yet.

Try also, Oliver D. Hammock

770 836-1656

He makes and sells a wide variety of pumping equipment. Cylinders start at $30.

Why is every body spending money on pumps.You can get more than enuff vacumn by sucking on the end of the pipe .Put a small plastic tap on the end ,suck on that and turn it to the off possion when you need a rest or reach the right vacumn.

Thanks for the helpful comments and suggestions, everyone! I have the pump side covered pretty well, but I especially appreciate hobby and avocet8’s cylinder suggestions. I will check those out. Really getting excited about starting to pump, but am trying to be patient as I read all I can and gather the right knowledge and equipment.

You guys are great! This site rocks!
