Air Pumping Vs. Water Pumping

Hey Everyone,

It may have been asked before, and I apologize if it has, I must have missed it.

I currently own a Penomet and I am definitely happy with it, but I was thinking about purchasing an air pump to mix things up a bit. The pump that I am looking at is the Vacutech Elliptical Thick Wall Pump.

I guess the only question that I have is... Would it be good to switch between water pump and air pump (like alternating days)?

Is it worth me getting an air pump or just sticking with the water pump?

Thank you in advance!

I have little experience with air pumps however have u tried air pumping the penomet? The second question I have is is what you are doing working?

Yes, I have tried air pumping with the Penomet, but I just cant get the suction that I need inside the tube, even by using lube, the suction just doesn't seem to be there.

The Penomet Supersets that I am doing are definitely working. I know the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but I was just curious if throwing in air pumping every once in awhile would have any benefits that I don't know about.

I don't have experience with air pumps either, so that I why I was curious about them.

I am also considering an air pump based on the successes of kingsnake and crazyed. I have had a X-40, and a penomet, but I have found that these pumps are designed and work best with water or you're relegated to being in the shower, or bathtub. A dry pump seems to be a lot more portable, and more private. Also, most of the air pumps come with a pressure gauge so you know exactly what kind of pressure you are applying to the penis.

I have dry pumped since 2003 and I can say since I have started using the water based pumps I havent even thought about using the dry air pump. The reason is because the water pumps are sooo much better than the air pumps. I get way more girth, length and less fluid from the water pumps than the dry pumps and the results from the water based pumps last much longer for me.
I own 3 Kaplan dry pumps of varying sizes.

The only advantage I can think of with the dry pump is that it is dry...

Thank you very much jakb, that is the answer I was looking for. I was reading many different threads and a lot of people said once they got their water pumps that they never touched the air pumps again. It's good to know that I am not missing out on anything by sticking with only the water pump

Thanks again!

Glad to help brother

If you use a wine vac the penomet it could be an effective air pump, however without that mod penomet as an air pump is pretty obsolete

There's always an option to make your air pump to a hydropump.

I do use mainly my Extreme or Penomet. I have one air pump tucked away, haven't used it for a while. I see that cylinders in different sizes could be acquired, aiming for length training for example.
Girth wise smaller, but length wise the way you're aiming.
Money can also be an issue, so Hydromax Extreme or Penomet might stretch your wallet or account too much; a cylinder, good pump and the water modification could be probably be bought for 100 USD or under. Depends about the manufacturer of course, but I've seen some decent beginner sets go for that kind of money or less.
The water modification (brake bleeder kit if I recall correctly) can be bought for 20-30 USD I think.
All in all it'll cost less but it'll be more messy with all the parts.

So, as you own the Penomet (original poster) I don't see a big necessity for an air pump. The wine vac modification could help, if you want to use it dry. But ultimately my voice goes for hydropumping, as it's much more relaxing, at least for me.
Anyhow, the wine vac modification can be used with water as well, if you seek more power. Just be careful out there!

Thanks a lot to everyone who has had great advice. I think the best thing is just to stick with the Penomet for now... and then maybe do a wine vac mod on it later.

Grab the wine vac and you can use the PT as a dry pump...
