Core Pumping for impressive gains!

Sounds like you need a size up
Hey Mike. I have bigger sizes. I'm just trying to do the tube packing for length and to try this core pumping. Do you think this can be fixed? It's a slow leak. I just have to pump the vacuum gun every 5 seconds or so . Do you think it can be fixed? Or is the 2in cylinder my smallest tube available now. And the 1.75 is just too small for me?
 
If you're pumping for length you would want a smaller tube. This would hold the vacuum better. Use your smallest tube or get a size smaller

The actual mechanics of a pump (any pump) is very basic, so I'd check to make certain the quick-release valve at the top of the tube hasn't backed its way out a tad or the hand-pump inner diaphragm hasn't developed a leak. Maybe try shaving the area where the cylinder contacts the skin and applying a dab of lube (I use organis coconut oil...easy clean-up and viscous enough to creeate a strong seal).
Just my $0.02

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'm gonna work on it. Maybe I'll try going in soft. Cause when I'm hard, the tube has a hard time getting past my base. I use coconut oil also.
 
There is mostly going to come fatigue and soreness as you progress. Push through it if you can

what would you suggest how to pack the tube if your head is cutting off the vacuum from anything below? I have an original bathmate hyrdromax x30, the penomet, and the bathmate extreme x40.

Do I ditch the original bathmate x30 and start using the penomet to pack the tube and use the x40 extreme as well?

Appreciate your input dld!

That would be the smartest move without buying another pump. The great thing about mityvac is you can just buy a new tube when necessary

Well. The 1.75 still slowly loses vacuum. But I continously pump every 5 seconds or so to keep the pressure. It's not ideal. But I'd really like to try this core pump. Seems to have cut down the fluid retention alot.
