Vacuum Pumping 101

Avocet8 was it you that posted something about pumping with hot water in the tube? I know I read about it but I can’t find the post anywhere :(

Not me. My pump isn’t compatible with water.

I use a heating pad. It is very effective. I got it from TARGET and it costs around 12 dollars. Very effective if you wanna use heat in your pumping routine.

biglittledick, I’d love to hear about how you use the heating pad.
Do you wrap it around the outside of the pump during sets?
Or do you simply use right on the biglittledick before/between sets?

Hi Thor,

I also have a problem with my cylinder (thickwall 1.75”) pushing down HARD on to my pubic bone and presumably some of the ligament attachments too.
I really wish I had some kind of rubber base / seal like the cheaper crappy pump I bought from a normal sex shop (rather than a pumping shop) about 3 years ago.
Does anyone know if you can get something like that, a protective rubber base or do Thor and I simply have to toughen up in the pubic bone region and stop being pussies? :)
(What may be of interest is I am overweight and only a 5” girth, with at least a .75 or 1” fat pad - maybe losing weight will help?)

As for question 2, again similar for me, avocet8 mentions ejaculating the first time however I would say I’m not even close.
It definately feels better than using a peni master and it’s kind of a good feeling but nothing exceptional, no way I could cum.
There’s also a fine line between pleasure and pain as my thickwall pushes into that pubic bone, so all the good feeling also hurts down at the base of my dick.

Finally question 3 I have a 5.3” BPEL cock or or 4.7” NBPEL cock (5.51” BPFSL) however when in my tube for over 30 to 40 minutes, according to my marking on the tube I was 6” in length when I started 3 months ago.

NOW, When I am PPEL* I finally have some length gains ONLY in the pump :( but I can now do 6.3 or 6.4” in the pump.
(*I like to call it PPEL on my spreadsheet, I’d love it if thunder decided to keep the acronym, pump packed erect length)

For reference, I always use less than 8HG and find around 5HG is a nice comfy feeling without pushing my limits, I’m beggining to become experienced at pumping I’d say.

Finally, avocet8 clearly knows a lot more about me in regards to pumping, however since your experiences are the same as mine I thought my response might be of use.

Hello all,

I have to say that heat and multiple sessions do make a difference. I heated up with a hot washcloth and started my first ten minute session.jelqed a set of 50 and massaged. Warmed up with the washcloth again and back in the tube for another 10 minutes.this time I noticed the tip of my head was a bit longer than the second mark I had made.this has never happened before. It wasn’t very much longer than the second mark.but there was a definite difference which was noticeable.

Hello to all,

It seems that I’m stuck at 7.1BPELx5.6EG for the last 4 months so I think I will give pumping a try!!

I need your help to choose the ideal Cylinder measurements for my stats!!! (from what I see I need a 11x1.75 or 11x2 cylinder?????right????)

Also any good sites to buy quality custom pumps like Vacutech or LA Pumps ones in Europe???????

any help will be appreciated :)

Well, at 5.4” EG, my 2.0 diam cylinder (Kaplan) is borderline: First set, I usually slide in fine, but once a little swollen, the head tends to get stuck on the side. Some people use lube/oil to make insertion easier, but I don’t. So, I’ve been thinking of getting a 2.25”. If I see any growth in the next month or two, I just might. (Measuring 5.5” on good days.) The only risk, I suppose, is that a larger cylinder makes it more difficult to get a good seal at the base.

Remember that your dick is not a perfect cylinder, so simply dividing EG by “2xPi” will give you too small a cylinder. Some retarded on-line calculators do just that.

My girth was near yours when I started pumping (5.75). I began with a 10 x 2 cylinder and it worked just fine.

lars, what’s this thing you have about not using some lubricant? :)

I know, I know… just looks less clean, I guess. Okay, I also have to go buy it, which I’ve never done. First-timer’s inertia.

Ok, what’s a decent generic brand?

Wow, I’ve measured an extra 0.1” EG and FG four times over the last two days! Each measurement was at least 10 hours after pumping.

Could it… could it be… could it be the first girth gain for me in 9 months…?

Hope so.

A good, lube is Astroglide but any glycerin based lube will work and, being water-soluble, makes clean up easy.

Hi all!

I’m 17,5 years old,and I’m planning to buy a kaplan pump.My unit is 7.125 inches long and my girth is 1,75inch.Am I too young for starting(I think my puberty is not yet ended),or the age doesn’t matter.What results can I expect?does the lack of sleeping have an effect on my size?and what about nutrition?Which size of cylinder should I choose?I would really appriciate your fast replies.thx.

Guys: I still have problems getting a good seal on my cylinder. I’ve used a glycerin based lube - vaseline and a combination of both. I put a thin coating on the rim plus a coating about 2” into the tube, plus I lube my cock. I also shave my shaft, the base of my shaft and my scrotum, but 1 time out of two, when I insert my erect cock into the tube and start pumping, the gauge sits on zero and I have to start the process all over again, including getting a hard on, which is a pain in the ass (well, maybe it ain’t the ass). Y’all got any ideas?

Thanks very much, Glenn

when you put the tube on,with thin coating on rim,twist it into your fat pad. This will help create a better seal.
