Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Hey I got to know even this may be off the subject but =o, I got a vacutech pump an cylinder that was 2x9, an I know I’m really no ob at this since it is my first time but anyway..

Wanted to know can I buy about any type of cylinder to go with the vacupump I got or does it have to be vacutech, because I’m not getting any suction on my dick as I go from 2-3Hg an it ain’t getting it gorged or anything =(.so maybe I got wrong size I’m 6x5

You can buy any cylinder that uses quick disconnect connectors, but you should be getting some pumping action with your current setup even if it is slightly large.

Try going into the tube with an erection. How long are you pumping for? Try pumping for 10 minutes at 3”hg.


The primary goal of PE should be to make your penis as healthy as possible in both form and function. If you do that, increased size will follow.

TY!! O.0 I had to make sure if I could buy other type of cylinders with this pump but now I got sum confirmation I feel better now.

As for the pumping on this one tho, I have tried at 3Hg, an vacutech lube, pressed all the way into my crotch, but it would not give any suction.if anything my dick went down =(

I wanted to see what was going on so I checked the hose an pump an it gave suction an everything, with the gauge working perfectly, but once I put the coupling on the cylinder an the hose in it I feel no suction from the cylinder, an the gauge was showing it sucking air somewhere.

So this time I kept the hose connected to the coupling an had the coupling unscrewed from the cylinder an put my finger on the end of the coupling an it gave no suction at all, yet the same time the gauge was going up with no prob. So what can I do to make my cylinder give sum suction =o?

Forum Guidelines , please. That means correct spelling, spelling words out completely ("and" not "an"), and losing the chatspeak.

Did you check the thread Differential Diagnosis for Vacuum Leaks regarding your problem?


For Lampwick, becoming hung like a donkey was the result of a total commitment.

Sorry about that.

Also I have tried what that guy in the thread stated with the lube, an the gauge goes up like there is suction. It even makes a pop noise when I take it out of the coupling so I know it’s sucking air up. My only problem is it won’t suck air in the cylinder when I put the hose in the coupling, even though the gauge shows it’s sucking air up. Should the coupling have a hole at the end or is it supposed to be no hole there?

Gprent,

I am just about 3 weeks in. I’ve heard a lot about pumping for both length and girth. I’m at 7.2 (hard BPEL) x 5.5 meg and 5.65 beg. I have a goal of 8.5 x 6.25 what does the swammy recommend? I am thinking about a Lapdisk.

I also beleive that I need a month or two more of additional conditioning before I go to the pump. Does pumping make the erection “squishy”. (eg same night of pumping, have sex)


Paraphrased: It is not the critic who counts: The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

There should be a through hole in the male coupling at the end of the hose. The female coupling on your cylinder has a one way check valve, so you can’t see through it, but there are holes in both ends. Are you sure the male coupling is getting completely seated into the female coupling?

If you hold your finger over the end of the male coupling you should go up to 10”hg easily with 1 or 2 pump handle squeezes.

Make sure the female coupling is screwed in firmly in the cylinder.

I think lapdist is a fine choice and you should select a 9”X2” cylinder. If you pump the way we recommend, you will not have a squishy erection. You should get hard and thick. Pumping and then having sex is a great idea.

Cool. As a “new” pumper, what way do you recommend, and when?

You should read the first part of this thread: Vacuum Pumping 101

As for pressure, I would stick in the 3-5"hg range. My favorite pressure to pump at is 4"hg, but I start off at 3"hg and slowly raise it to 4"hg. I used to pump at a lot higher pressures, but in the end, that just causes trauma and that is counter productive. Try to keep your cock healthy looking and then you are doing it right.

When? Order the pump and go!

This is a great thread, thanks for the advise.

I ended up purchasing a LA Pump Wide Mouth Cylinder at 1.75” And I like it a lot.

It measures 1.75” x 2.25” so it is larger where it counts.

My girth larger top to bottom, than it is across.

I am about 5.5 at the base to 5.25 mid shaft and there is plenty room for growth in the cylinder.

Great thread

I’m 6 5/8 girth and 7 3/8 length. I would like to end up being 7 to 7 1/4 girth and 8 1/2 to 9 in length. What tube should I use please thanks

Hi all.
Just a quick question and some advice please. I am going to start pumping due to curiosity, pleasure seeking, amusement, knowledge and most importantly to gain a bit of length and girth. Length is primarily what I am hoping for. The situation is I am currently 7.5 BPEL and 6 inch’s girth. My penis is quite even 6 inch girth in middle and near enough at base.

I want to gain length and maybe a little girth in the future but I know it is easier to gain length first and girth later so I have read. What I need to know is what size diameter tube would I need? length of tube needed is about 3 inches more than BPEL so I have read. Does the tube have to be larger diameter than my current diameter? I would not mind gaining a bit of girth but would like to concentrate on length. Is it slightly more comfortable with a larger diameter tube? How important is a pressure gauge on the pump?
I have looked at a few different types on the net but nothing I have seen has convinced me to exchange cash for. If someone could suggest a brand and and size that would best suit my needs. Not too expensive but good value I don’t mind spending on quality. The ideal goal of my PE career I think would be maximum 8.75 BPEL and 6.25 girth mid shaft girth. Anything bigger is not for me. I am much looking forward to my pumping adventure.

I know the above is a question is one that has probably never ever been asked before in this forum but your advice and patience would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation, Mr Diesel.

Diesel,

I like tube no longer than 2” longer than the BPEL. Too long a tube is “demotivating”, see if the tube is too long it looks like such a far distance that you never get there.

With the shorter tube, it looks like you might make it to the end and is very motivating every session. I’d get tube no less than 1” greater than your unpumped diameter.

The reason for this, if the tube is too tight all the vacuum is on the glans.

The other reason, you won’t get a length stretch if the vacuum tube walls are grabbing on your shaft.

I think you should start off with a 9”X2.25”.
