Starting pumping and I've got some questions

[homelesswombat]

I'm not new to Penis Enlargement but new to pumping. Some recent revelations from my girlfriend has inspired me to new girth gains I got a novelty pump and the thing sucks (haha). It was advertised as 2.5" diameter and is actually 2-2.25". I fill the thing to half way up. I also max out the poor squeeze vacuum ball with no pain. My dick is conditioned from clamping.

Questions

1. So I got some hints that a tube that is "too" wide will lead to girth gains but not much length gains. Is this correct?

2. I'm considering getting on of these two pumps:

http://penispumpwarehouse.com/top-g...Thumb=<img+src=pics/penis_pump_SE103900t.jpg>
I think the Top Gauge will be too short. I know there are places on this forum that pump brands have been recommended, but some are out of business (Boston Works) and some are out of my price range (like Vacutech).

3. Does one need a tube sleeve at the base? I just tried my novelty pump without it and it seemed to work fine. Those things are expensive for something that can fail and needs to be replaced.

Thanks in advance!

If you are serious about pumping, I highly recommend that you save up and get a vacutech. Yes they are expensive but they are top of the line. They have a excellent website that shows you how to measure correctly to get the right size cylinder, and their customer service is great. It sounds like the cylinders you are talking about are too large for someone just starting out. You want to wait until you completely fill up a cylinder before you get anything bigger.

Checkout the pump [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] offers or if you can afford it than Vacutech.
I have a cheaper pump that has always stood me well since day 1 and that came from Lovehoney.co.uk < Good selection for those in UK

I bought a cheapie and then bought a "brake vacuum bleeder kit" for about $20. It has a hand pump with gauge...works fine for me.

Vacutech, Boston...are the best nowadays. If you can afford them. Length will be compromised if you do nothing for length while pumping. So continue to train for length.

Hey thanks for the replies y'all.

So on Friday I actually decided to build my own pump. It was astoundingly easy to do really (if you know how). I went to school for Industrial Design so my crafting abilities are above average.

I got a break bleeder kit from Kragen for about $35, cheaper than any penis vacuum with a gauge I've seen online. I went to Tap Plastics and got 2 acrylic tubes, one 2.25" internal diameter and one 2.5" internal diameter. They were about $6-$7 for a 9" length. I got some 1/4" thickness discs to cap off the tubes and used acrylic cement to seal it off. The connection from the tube to the vacuum was a little more technical, but I figured out a really easy way to do it. In all I've spent about $50. I'll post pics when I have the chance.

I'm considering experimenting with heating up the edges of my tubes with a heat gun and creating my own flared tubes. I'm thinking I might create an "inward flare" which will yield the suction benefits of a flared tube but be less likely to suck in your balls. I don't have much of a fat pad, so getting a solid seal without a silicone sleeve can be tough. So when I graduate up to the 2.5" cylinder I see an inward flare being valuable.

Also I have no interest in length, so I'm doing almost no stretching. Will stretches contribute to girth?

This is what I made for $50-60. Pretty damn fly if I do say so myself. I just did the "inner flare" thing on my 2.5" tube, and it works a treat. I managed to pump my <6" girth in a 2.5" tube! I'm going to do this to my 2.25" tube as well.

The whole shebang.

Cap assembly.

Inner flare geometry. Super comfy, excellent seal.

Nice shit man!!!! I really like the one on the right on the first pic...very custom job there...How is the comfort level on the tubes? Looks like you got some good skills there bro!!!!

How has the pumping been treating you? Just take it slow...with low pressures...and you will gain...I also recommend pumping before sex...like 4 hours or so before...you will have a fat cock for your girl. Watch the fluid build up and keep it at a minimin.

Thanks Ed!! That means a lot coming from a pump master like yourself.

I like pumping, it feels like clamping but less harsh on my unit. At this point I've only done it experimentally, but it feels like it will be a great addition to my routine. My routine consists of two days of super light EQ supplementing work (edging, super light jelqing) then one day of high pressure stuff (clamping, pumping, bundled stretches). I'll post on my routine thread how everything goes.

Some things I notice:

I don't get fluid buildup, nor do I get the super temp gains that newbies seem to get. I've even gone up to 6-7 hg without discomfort (I pulled back within seconds though, knowing better).

I do get huge expansion at the base, right below where I clamp. The tunica there is unconditioned and therefore highly elastic. That said, my normal EG is not thickest at the base.

Lol my gf knows all about my Penis Enlargementing and and last weekend she totally watched me pump before I stuck it in her. rofl

looks good! how did you do the flare?
Have you tried water pumping? it works great, supposed to gives a better pull than air.

 

[homelesswombat]

I manually heat formed it using a heat gun and a piece of quartz-composite as a shaping surface. Hard to explain, but that's what trade secrets are all about

I tried water pumping with my novelty pump, but I found it more hassle than it's worth. I live with three other guys, so spending that much time in the shower is bound to have someone waiting on me.
