Vacuvin As Air Pump

As a newbie, I have been following several threads related to air pumping. I am amazed at the lack of any information related to the use of a Vacuvin for air pumping. I started out almost a year ago with some exercises, then purchased on eBay a combo package consisting of a Proextender and a BM X30. I alternated days using each for about 3 months, being pleased with some progress. I soon dropped use of the Proextender after 3 months as being too uncomfortable. With the introduction of the hand bulb addition to increase the “pull” of the Bathmate series, I concluded that perhaps additional suction help was needed with my X30. I experimented with the Vacuvin and found that air pumping was more simple and effective if I wanted additional stress in my exercising. I have slowly increased the pressure using the Vacuvin with the BM comfort ring (now permanently glued to the gaiter with silicone ) over the last 6 months. Since the Vacuvin has no gage, I recently purchased same and modified the valve end of my BM to monitor the vac while pumping. I can confirm that I am now regularly applying 15 inHg without undue discomfort or physical changes to my penis. Photos are available.

I didn’t have a clue what you were talking about. So you are using a vacu vin wine saver to augment your pumping. For everybody else that doesn’t know what this is, here you go:

Wine Saver Black | 2 Stoppers - Vacu Vin

Yes, photos of your set up would be interesting.

So you’re using the BM as air pump?

I heard of people using it for regular water pump

The thing is that the BM itself is not the best option for most pumpers because it has no gauge. I have a BM but prefer pumping with my reg air pump because I can do it while watching tv and without wasting water.

I have one of those wine savers; I think they are sold by many different companies. But I have no clue how you could use it as a penis pump. Like Gprent, I’d like to see a pic of your setup.

No, I am an air pumper and either use a brass hand pump or electric pump, both with a gauge and a flanged cylinder design.

All they do is to attach it to the tip of the bathmate, where the water spills.

After you pump it BM style, you attach it and pump a little more.

I have submitted a photo of the rig as modified for gage. The valve retainer and valve have been removed from the Bathmate. This allows direct connection to the interior. A plastic irrigation tee has the gage glued into the male end of the tee. A 11/32 ” metal tube is glued into one leg of the tee along with a small “O” ring to seal with the BM. On the other end of the tee, the stopper for the Vacuvin is inserted over the 1/2 inch hose connection barb. Image follows:

That’s some high pressure. I’ve read about this but never considered it

Only for the most experienced pumpers and even then, only with extreme caution.

Here is an exploded view of the rig before assembly. The only thing missing is the “O” ring which goes on the brass tube which inserts into the BM in place of the valve.

Right. I’ve been pumping for over two years and still get a doughnut and fluid at anything over 6hg for say 10 plus mins. Maybe I’m still not there yet as a pumper or maybe it’s just the way I react to higher pressure only time will tell.

Oldisgold are you using water? I would think the high pressure using hot water wouldn’t be as bad as with an air pump.

It’s all air pumping. The Vacuvin is very difficult to control in wet use. Any slight miss adjustment against the stopper allows air to flow into the BM and the the suction effect is lost. Does not seem to be as big a problem with the air pumping. In reply to the comment about experiencing excess skin just below the glans following my session, yes, I have had it occur, but with rest it has disappeared over a 6 hour period. My thought in bringing up the Vacuvin subject is that reams of pages talk about what type of air pump to use and some of the very costly expenditures. In the USA, the Vacuvin and one stopper is widely available from wine stores, eBay, and Amazon for generally around $ 10.00. I initially started the practice using the Vacuvin stopper directly inserted into the end of the BM (valve retainer and valve removed) with a TLC Skin Cone (Size 50 and 52 will work) tied around the stopper. The Skin Cones function was to further effect a good vacuum seal and to stabilize the stopper during the pumping phase. It was just recently that I incorporated the vaccum gauge to monitor my actual parameters. I can now sense though extension in BM with gauge and return to use of stopper and Skin Cone only.
