Selecting Your Cylinder Size

Gprent, I have a quick question for you, as I can’t find my calipers..
Do you know offhand if the inside diameter on the vacutech 2in tube is the flare 2in, or the actually tube where it widens after the flare?

I over did it the other day, packed the bottom half of my tube with no problem, and got a little overzealous and went for the rest of it, while the feel and results were awesome, I had a weird doughnut thing going on, it wasn’t the actual base of my glans, nor all the way around, but just the bottom left side of my shaft under the head.kinda weird

Also, since I can’t make my own posts yet, I thought I would throw this in here.
I sell adult products(condoms lube, etc) and I Was looking on the sites for products I sell, and stumbled across this new drink called fever, it’s like redbull for your sexdrive.
It’s loaded with hornygoat weed and maca and a whole bunch of other stuff, and with my overdoing it pumping and 2 cans of fever, I swear it was the single best erection I ever had.

I can’t say from first hand experience, but from what I have read, the 2” dimension in a vacutech tube is the wider dimension and the opening of the tube necks down to say 1.75”.

What you are describing also happens to me when I go for extended time in the pump. One area tends to bloat out first with lymph fluid and for me, the same area will do it again if you repeat what you did. It is no cause for concern, but it is not helpful either as it is just skin bloat from lymph fluid. I try to limit my time in the pump to just less then where that starts to occur.

Don’t worry, they send it in a brown package with a picture of a huge penis being pumped with their pump. ;) Just kiddin’. It is very discreet.

Hehe well, sometimes the companies send their packages with a label on it, and if you google that label, all you get is “penis enlargement”.
So its not as discreet as most of them tell you.

Are there any other sites with more affordable prices? I mean I’d do the sacrifice because of quality, but if there are other options why not.

My girth is 5.35”, since I’m going for length I’ll choose 1.75” correct? My BPEL is 8.75” Should I go with 11” or foot long?

Thanks yall for this great thread.

Wow.. Lapdist’s shipping to worldwide is 35 whereas vacutech’s is like half of it. What gives ? Added up to be that expensive seriously.

If you gain more length without adding girth you are going to end up looking like a pencil dick. You really need to add both girth and length to keep your proportions looking large overall. I think you should definitely invest in a 2”X11” cylinder. Hey, it’s Christmas. Splurge a little on yourself and buy a quality cylinder.

True but man.. 35 for international shipping regardless of what you buy. Imagine getting the male coupler that is like less than 10 bucks and pay 35 for the shipping.. Makes me want to forget about getting the harbor freight tools pump.. & McMaster-Carr doesn’t ship international now what a crap.

Anyway what’s the difference in terms of vacutech and lapdist ? Just hoping to get a good quality one with cheap shipping rates.

Miburo,

Your location is US, so why worry about international shipping rates? I would not buy couplers from the pump guys as the mark up is too high. Too bad Mcmaster doesn’t ship international, but can’t you find someone to ship it to in the states and have them forward it? It is just a tiny connector.

Vacutech is fine quality. I guess my only beef with their package system is that it come with a plastic pump compared to the lapdist brass pump, but since you are buying the pump from harbor freight, the vacutech cylinders are equal in quality to lapdist.

Yes but I’m currently not in the states. Therefore it applies to me sadly.

I don’t know if it’s possible to get someone to buy and forward to me though for mcmasters. Harbor freight actually doesn’t ship overseas too and I had to email the support for int shipping queries.

I don’t know what is the shipping + harbor pump add up to although I know it would be like how lapdist charges 35 for every crap product regardless or small or big.

With this size you realize that you are in the top percentile for length, right?

Like gprent, I would suggest that you work primarily on girth. Although it should be said that with a pump you will always be working on both to some degree.

In your case, I’d suggest that you get a 2" cylinder and a sealing sleeve, such as the Sleeve Master . You can get a fairly reasonable pumping kit here with all included from Boston Pumps .

Is 5.35" your base girth or mid-shaft?

As far as a quality brass pump by itself: you shouldn’t be spending more than around $40 or $50 USD. I did a Google search with the terms "brass hand pump vacuum pump" and got this result .

Amazon also had one at around $30.

The shipping issue… I don’t know. I’m pretty sure Amazon ships most places in Europe. But I’d search in the UK for a brass hand pump with the word "brake" as well. The same product, when marketed for PE, is usually marked WAY up - sometimes almost double.

A vacuum pump is a vacuum pump, why spend tons of money?

Thank you GPrent and Mr.Happy!

Well, Nobody know why what you always want more…and I wanna be bigger..lol a foot would be like the stopping point but I guess that’s impossible. Yall right anyways, a 2” would be better.

5.35” is my mid-shaft girth

That Boston Pump kit looks nice and at a better price. :) is it good quality right?

Thanks!

the boston pump doesn’t have 11” cylinders….:(

In that case would be better 12 or 10?

I’d say 10” will be plenty.

Okay djufo, but you do have a really long tool. You can afford to relax a little with any further length goals you might have. I’m just saying. :D

If your base girth is in the 5.5” range, definitely go for a 2” cylinder, that will afford you more in terms of girth gains and will balance out your girth with respect to your already awesome length. The Sleeve will ensure a good seal without using Vaseline (don’t use Vaseline with the sleeve as the Vaseline will destroy the sleeve).

I do use Boston Pumps, by the way, and I like them as well as, if not better than LA Dist.’s Cock Pump, which I also have. I will say that LA Pumps have outstanding customer service. They can’t be beat on that score.

I have a 2” cylinder with a dry pump (with the gauge) that I got from LA Dist. I think that was about $125 and did not come with a sleeve. I had to use Vaseline to get a good seal and didn’t like it. I noticed that the initial cylinder that LA Pumps sent me was cracked, so I sent it back (they replaced it no charge, no questions asked, and even paid for my shipping to return it to them; they are really good guys at LA Dist). I ended up getting a 1.75” Boston cylinder at a local sex shop for another $60 to use in the interim week that the damaged cylinder was going to California and the new cylinder was traveling to New York City. I found used the 1.75” Boston cylinder more than I did the 2” LA cylinder when the replacement came. I was also trying to get length more so than girth at first (sound familiar?), so the narrow cylinder was better all the way around. I packed the tube, especially around the base, very fast and didn’t need Vaseline or a sleeve to get a good seal.

I later bought my Boston cylinder and pump at a local sex shop. It was $109 for the 2” cylinder with the wet/dry pump (the one without the gauge) and the Sleeve Master was another $16. I didn’t have to pay shipping (although NY city’s sales tax is almost as bad). I use that set up most often now, though I do still do use the 1.75” tube for extended pumping at very low pressure (3 hg or so).

I should add that neither of my Boston Cylinders are contour design, they are both the standard design. I haven’t tried the contour design models so I don’t know if they are any good. If you use the sleeve I can’t imagine that there’d be much difference, so why bother? The standard design cylinders serve very well.

I’d strongly recommend getting a pump with a gauge initially, as that way you can monitor the pressure precisely. Keep it around 4 - 6 hg. After you get more experienced you can get the wet/dry pump and do it by feel.

Thank you! and since boston doesn’t have 11” cyclinders, which one would you reccomend? 10 or 12?
