I bought the pump!.. ordered it last Friday and received it on Tuesday, so 2 working days for delivery from Germany to the UK. My initial impressions it looked quality built but then you would expect that for the crazy price.
So I waited to get a couple of hours of privacy with an empty house and proceeded to set it up. Fits together quick and easy, trimmed my pubes, lubed up and set to work. This might be a good time to mention that I have never pumped before so did not know what to expect.
Disaster! I put my penis in and nothing!!.. I decided I needed an erection maybe, tried again, nothing!! So I got hot and bothered and went about checking all the connections with my sticky lubed up hands (there’s at least ten connections!). Half an hour later and furious with myself, I gave up and went to clean up the equipment. Took a shower, jelqed and got back to hanging. Every 2mins I’d take a peak at the box with tubes and wires hanging out and the cylinder laughing at me and the money I wasted.
After 20mins I could bare it no longer, so I cut my session short and tipped the box onto my bed to investigate further. I set everything up and spent a good hour checking over and over to find out why there was no suction in the cylinder. Turns out there is suction right up to the cylinder then it vanishes! Nothing more than a slight breeze inside the cylinder. Next step was writing an e-mail to the company asking for advice. I told them their pump is faulty, I figured that it was just too light (it is supposed to suck at approx -3hg but I have never pumped so I had no idea what that -3hg should feel like)
Next morning I have no e-mail from them. I decide to try again, as I assumed that they would reply with all sorts of “check this and check that” suggestions, in which case I would be ready to reply that I had checked EVERYTHING haha. Anyway still no success so I put it away and posted nagging complaints on another PE forum as a means of venting as well as getting some advice as to how light a -3hg vacuum is. I was advised that it is a light vacuum, and when I put my finger over the pump hole it seemed about right, but the vacuum inside the cylinder was much lighter. So ONCE AGAIN I go to investigate the equipment.
FINALLY I found that the pressure valvue was connected the wrong way round (their mistake). Rather than flip it the right way, I just took it out as I wanted to eliminate the problem altogether. Slipped my flaccid dick in, which got sucked straight up, and did an introductory 1hr session to see whats up. Session was ok but I am a skinny little fuck and was sitting down so the weight of the cylinder kept breaking the vacuum at the base. Needless to say, I was pumped but not like you would expect.
My second session was in bed in the evening for two hours. Much much better, the longer you keep the seal the stronger it holds, and therefore is less likely to come off. Post pump feel and look was very impressive. I jelqued using the lube already on my dick, went to clean up and slept mother fucking happy!
So I know this is a long post, but it is in the right place and I figure it may help anyone who encounters this problem as well as give some insight on the product as it seems no one else has. The reason I wanted to invest was to use it as my “healing in an extended state” device. It does seem promising, I mean I started to get slightly irritated on my skin around the base but that was after 2hrs and only my 1st day of pumping. I can see how after a month of conditioning, you could keep the pump going for hours on end. Perhaps even sleep with it as they suggest (however I will not try that until I have spent a few loooooong sessions during the day making sure nothing could go wrong). Anyway enough for now, more details upon request ;)
