Bathmate mod

I'm going to create this mod myself in the future. Just need pvc tubing.
Here is a video I found:

But you want to use pvc tubing instead of the laundry detergent bottle. You see that he gets a lot of air into the tube. I'm told you can heat the pvc tubing to make it fit over the valve (you do not change the valve, just leave it as it is).

I want to know how it goes, since I'm doing this myself later. Post some pictures or something, and tell me how it's working.You’re the man
You want to use this pump:
A regular pvc tube that's flexible. You pull the first end over the pump/tube, and you need to heat it in order to accomplish this. Then on the other end you stick the cork that you get with the VACU VIN pump.
This is what I have come up with.
You can permanently fixate (always leave it on) the pvc tube and the cork.You can relieve the pressure on the topside of the cork.
Yes you can relieve the pressure by pushing on the topside of the cork. This is my understanding.
I tried it out just by pushing the cork loosely into the valve (pushing to hard release the pressure), and this concept work.
You just need a pvc tube to make it air tight and connect it all together.

Awesome. I have a feeling that this mod is superior to buying the HydroXtreme version of the pump. I have HydroXtreme pumps as well, but their hand pump could be better.
Awesome!
Maybe this will work as well.
You take the valve top of a HydroXtreme pump (or you have a replacement valve) and attach it to a hydromax model with a pvc tube. Then you can use the hand pump (external pump) for the HydroXtreme pump, to increase the vaccum in your hydromax pump.
But this mod will be more expensive, if you do not already have the extra Bathmate replacement parts.

Okey thanks for sharing. That was way easier, awesome.
You don't use the vacu vin cork?
no never needed to use it
Okey.
@Bassman44 look at this.
is that just for convenience? Keeping the cork attached? I wanted to secure mine into a 1” Inside diameter tubing and press it against the valve instead of going over top of the valve of the hydromax just in case I can’t release the pressure.

Try it! I have always thought about that.is that just for convenience? Keeping the cork attached? I wanted to secure mine into a 1” Inside diameter tubing and press it against the valve instead of going over top of the valve of the hydromax just in case I can’t release the pressure.

What's your routine ?
Awesome! You are going to see incredible results
The VaccuVin mod works.
How to:
1. Remove the replacement valve carefully with this tool:
2. Then you have this: Top part of the pump.
It's now a hole right through.
3. Tape with Gorilla tape and electrical tape, to make it so, that you can't compress the spring.
4. Put the cork for the VaccuVin pump in place instead of the Bathmate valve.
4. Tape with electrical tape and self-vulcanising tape/self-fusing tape, to make it vaccum tight and water tight.
That's it. Now you can go beyond the original max vaccum/pressure. Be careful.
Here is how it looks like:
I don't know how long the cork are going to last, so in the future you can put a pvc tube, or maybe pipe between the Bathmate and the cork. In that way it's easy to replace the cork.
Hope this helps.

you can also keep the BM 'as-is' and just slide a short piece of PVC to act as a connection point for the VV pump...no need to dismantle anything and no need to use the VV cork
Okey. But how do you release the vaccum after pumping, if all that is semi-permanently attached?
Big Schwanz Acht
@Big Schwanz Acht
The BM valve is spring-loaded so I just press-down to relieve any/all pressure
okey so you remove the pvc tubing to release the pressure/vaccum?
Big Schwanz Acht
@Big Schwanz Acht
picture a 2"-3" piece of clear PVC fitting over the top of the BM tip, then the VV pump just fits at the end of the PVC...pump to your desired pressure and release by using your finger pressing the BM valve
Big Schwanz Acht
@Big Schwanz Acht
the PVC tubing is only 2"-3" so I just leave it on the BM...my finger can reach the BM valve w/the PVC still attached
Okey I understand it now. I had problems to understand, how you release the vaccum, last time you explained this concept to me, thanks.
This will be better then my solution.
Need to remove the tape now, since the self-vulcanising tape, can really be hard to remove if you let it be on for to long.

@Big Schwanz Acht
just make certain that you get the proper size of PVC tubing, IIRC it's 7/8" inside diameter but maybe pring the VV pump to the hardware store to double check. I also warmed-up the tubing a bit to make it slide over the BM tip
I think I need to order the PVC tubing from internet. That's why I tried out my method with tape.
There are no more hardware stores in my town locally, that have these big rolls of different stuff (tubes and cables). This existed when I was a child. But no more. I'm lucky if I can find it locally. One store may have it...I need to check there.
