Vacuum Pumping 101

I disagree. It’s the difference between pushing and pulling.

Please explain. I made a pressure graph and attached that as image to explain my position. Underside of the graph is the tissue and upper side is the air. Of course the pressure differences are not as violent and the graphs may look different, but that is not important. What’s important is the fact that the difference between the acting forces is the same.

Pleas don’t get me wrong. I just want to understand the subject, not press on my understanding of the things. Fact is that clamping and pumping feel different.

Okay so I had my first pumping session today and realized in the middle of my 5-7 minute session at 2-4 inches Hg that I never learned how to get the damn pump off! I was scared shitless! My session ended and I was just like fuck it I hope my dick doesn’t explode and I was pretty lubed up so I just slipped the thing off. So my question is:

How do you get the pump off without just pulling it off while still under pressure? Is there a way to release the vacumm or something? I have a feeling I’m being an idiot.

Well you are an idiot. :D See that little button on the bottom of the brass pump barrel? Just push it. Duh. :)

Have Fun!

LOL. I did the same thing the first COUPLE of times that I used my pump. Then I realized you could unscrew the top of the cylinder. It took me about 2 more weeks to realize that button works.

And I think of myself as an intelligent person…

It’s funny that we both were too excited to bother with instructions or planning.

Hahaha yeah I was like fuck! I was scared shitless when the end of my session came and I realized I had no idea of how to get the damn thing off.

And today I got mine! But I got a lil’ question: The pressure can go to 30 in Hg vac and 760 mmHg vac, so when people say “5”, do they mean 5Hg or 500mmHg? Because 5Hg is like the first mark and is like no pressure at all, how is that going to make it grow?

And someone please post a good starting routine, 10min in 5Hg everyday? How many sets?

Look at the title of the thread you are posting in. Go back to avocet’s very first post to get your starting schedule. I would highly recommend just starting out in the 3”hg to 4”hg range and even when you get a lot of experience, 5”hg is a good red line limit. You might not think 5”hg is a lot, but it is right near the limit where you can start causing trauma by breaking capillaries and doing other microscopic damage. You should definitely start easy and build your routine up slowly.

High pressure is not the secret to successful pumping. The secret is low pressure for a long time and zero trauma.

By the way, that pump that has the capability to draw 30”hg vacuum was not designed as a penis pump. It was designed as an industrial vacuum pump and someone who was a penis pumper found it and started using it for his cock. Just because the pump can draw a vacuum like you find in outer space doesn’t mean your body can survive it.

Yeah dude trust me, my first session I did around 3 to 4 inches Hg for 5 minutes. The next day, my EQ was through the roof which is exactly what we want to shoot for because increased erection=bigger penis and it definitely looked and felt bigger. I can’t even imagine where pumping would take me if I was consistent for a year. I’d probably have a 9 incher between my legs. Peace gotta pump! :)

Thanks for the info. Yeah I think they should warn a lot more about the pressure if only 5Hg is enough. Do you think 30Hg could make your unit explode? A very scary thought!

Also I forgot I had a new question: I read somewhere that you want to maintain your erection during the workout, for results. So that means I will have to watch one whole hour porn everyday without ejaculating (at week 7+). This makes it quite hard :( .

I don’t plan on ever doing more than 3 10 minute workouts in a row. Also, usually if you go in to the tube hard and get to the pumped level you want, you will stay expanded right? So I don’t think you have anything to worry about teninch.

1) If your cock looks hard while in the tube (porn or not), it is.

2) The general rule of 3 - 5 HG tops is not etched in stone for all guys. If you don’t get hard at 5 HG, consider 6 HG, or even higher if necessary. But don’t make the mistake of going higher than you need, thinking you will get better gains doing so. This is subtle stuff. Listen to/read your cock at all times.

Ok thanks!

It is really intense on my cock at 2-4 Hg. I have no need to go higher. I know my cock very well and this seems like it is ideal for now. I have only done 2 sessions so far. Time tells all though right?
