Some Help Sizing LA Pump Elliptical. ?

Okay. So the MityVac 8000 arrived in the mail.

Which coupler do I use to attach to the Cylinder?

I tried all the attachments. The vacuum pump came with about 8. None fit. ?

I think this is what I need. And that’s what is missing from the MityVac 8000 set.

So ill have to do some shopping at the hardware store.

Male Coupler – L.A. Pump

So I called LA Pump to get some specifics on the male coupler for the cylinder. Guy who answered was not helpful. Somewhat rude.

Back at square one. Can anyone help with the specific size / configuration type of the male coupler for the LA Cylinders?

Update !

Bought the missing male coupler from LAP. Arrived in the mail. Used the cylinder and pump twice, over two sessions.

Works Great !

My workout is 3 sets x 5 mins routine, below 5 HG, as per Titlists recommendation. First try, worked great. Had great PI’s, post-workout.

Second session, added 10 mins of manual stretch beforehand. 3 sets x 6 - 7 mins. May have gone a bit over 5HG pressure. Lost PI’s, after workout.

Lesson learned. I have permanent ED from Propecia, going on 15 years. Using a cylinder/pump to (hopefully) improve erectile quality/frequency.

Will keep the pressure under 5HG, sessions under 5 mins, and stay within my PI limitations. Perhaps I will be able to continue manual stretching. Perhaps not. We will see.

Update

About 4 pumping sessions under the belt.

I seem to be “over doing it”. Lost some PIs.

Went over the 3 x 5mins set routine. Or went over the 5HG max pressure. Sort of addictive being in the cylinder and seeing how big the unit can get.

My last session I kept at 3 sets x 5 mins at 5HG. Also lost PIs.

So I think 5HG is too much for the unit. Will stick with 4HG and under. !

Quick Update.

Very happy with my Elliptical LA Pump!! Great quality, design, and fit. Fit is good. Would definitely RE-BUY from LA PUMP again and would recommend them

Question

I have ED. Pumping past 4HG flaccid, is not a big deal. I can pump up to 7 HG flaccid, and its not a big deal.

When I’m erect, 4HG IS A LOT.

When I’m erect, 5HG IS TOO MUCH. Almost painful.

But for a guy like me, with ED most of the time, I’m only semi hard at 4HG. And only semi hard at 7HG.

Are pressure guideline rules only relevant for erect penises in the pump? Cause I doubt 6HG or 7HG will do any damage when the penis is only semi erect.

Its the forcing of blood into an already erect penis that will cause damage.

Am I right or wrong?

If you’re entering flaccid, with or without ED, you’ll want to reach full engorgement slowly or you could do damage to valves, blood vessels, skin, and other lymphatic tissues in the penis. A relatively safe rule of thumb would be a maintenance pump every 30-60 secs, reaching full engorgement in 3-5 minutes. Myself, I still wouldn’t go over 5hg-6hg, as it’s the force on the tissues and volume of fluid that does the work, not the vacuum itself. The forces are there whether you’re erect or not, though you may not be stressing the nerves while flaccid. i.e. A person can’t feel a burst blood vessel or petechiae occur, and they do, erect or not. Best to pump up slow.

The only advantage to entering erect is there’s no take-up time, you can go straight to a vacuum that will maintain or slightly increase the erection immediately and keep it there regardless of arousal, 3hg-5hg. Going in flaccid, you’ll have to do multiple take-ups to reach full engorgement and it’s best to do those slowly. A healthy human blood pressure converted to vacuum equates in the 2hg-3hg range and given enough time, should itself be enough to fully engorge, though unlikely to illicit any physical effects beyond the vascular benefits of the exercise that aren’t visible to the eye.

On a side note: Entering flaccid and maintaining low vacuum for long periods, hours, has also been considered an effective exercise to increase the size of your typical flaccid apart from an erect state.

-Stay safe

Thank you for that well-written reply ! I’ll follow your advice, and keep it under 6HG when flaccid, regardless. And pump up slow, over the course of several minutes.

When I go over 5HG (again, only when flaccid), I release the vacuum quick (after about 10 - 20 seconds of higher pressure). Then repump again. I feel this adds some benefit.

I have diabetes induced ED and, accordingly, I am always flaccid when I go in the cylinder. I then pump up to 9 hg and as my flaccid begins to inflate, the vacuum quickly reduces to 5 hg in about 15 seconds at which time I pump back up to 9 hg. and watch the gauge again go down to 5 hg. I need to repeat about four times until the vacuum only drops slightly below 9 hg. It this point, my erection has gained about 1.5” beyond the point it reached during the first pump and my girth has increased by about 1/2”. At this point, I reduce the vacuum to 5 or 6 hg. where I maintain the vacuum for the balance of my session but occasionally have to pump it back up to 6 hg.

However, I must mention that I have been pumping for over 10 years so my dick’s tolerance for greater vacuum levels may be higher than a beginner.

Dialed the routine down to 3.5HG x 3 mins sets x 3 sets, every other day.

Also "milk" when in the tube. Weed helps with erections while vacuuming.

Enjoyed great progress the last few months. Maybe 1/3rd of the time I could have sex WITHOUT Viagra. I’ve had ED going on 15 years. So this was life changing for me.

Recovering from a minor injury. Went too long, with too much pressure in the tube a couple weeks ago. Lost PI’s for a couple weeks. Just getting back into it now.
