With the 2" I used to be able to pack it but I didn't like the fluid ring I sometimes got. I'm doing a straight 30 min set, at that point I take a break and squeeze like a tube of tooth paste motion to really get all the blood flowing again and the feeling back in it. I'm using Chris's settings straight from the factory. I'm using pumptoy's velseal tubes I love them! Nah ask as many questions as you want I'm all in man, heck thats how we both learn!

Even though I’ve only got a few days worth of usage with it, I can already and confidently state that this is, by far, the best PE-related purchase I have made in a long time. Granted, at nearly $500 with shipping, it’s pretty expensive, but in my opinion, well worth every cent.
ctmwm;640524 said:MMandingo, GREAT post! I have yet to mess with the programming although I want to try is soon so I can sell my XL2000 and re-coup some cash. Can you load all 4 profiles on to the unit and change them at will or do you need the computer to be connected to change from one profile to the other?

What Cylinders do you use?Supra;642677 said:I love mine, there is no better air pump around.
Same thing i want 2 knowZambrodom3;642784 said:Yea, I would have gotten me one a long time ago if it was not as expensive as it is now. Looks good to be honest. I have read a lot about the differences between air (vacuum) and hydropumping and it seems hydro is better though (BUT there is a chance that the readings were written by manufacturers of hydropumps to just get more people to buy their stuff).
You, Supra, how do you compare the water pumps to this one? There is a user around- youknowme, who once tried a pump very similar to the DP4000, a massage device and he said that both this pump and his X40 Xtreme have their PROs and CONs. What are this pump's (the DP4000's) PROs and CONs when compared to any other pump?
MMandingo;643041 said:You asked Supra but I'll chime in and give my thoughts as well. Had my DP4000 for a few weeks now and I love it. The ONLY con, if you can even call it that since it's the very thing that makes it a PRO, is the PC connection. I just wish it were more self contained. Other than that, in my opinion, I have no CONS for it at all. I've already taken care of the noise issue by building a box for it (which I will be upgrading soon).
As far as PROS, there are plenty:
- Hands free
- Accurate pressure readings
- Graphed sessions
- Ability to create/run infinite amount of pressure profiles
- Cuts down on edema (I'm able to pump without getting fluid buildup over the same period of time with my manual pump - so my sessions can go for longer periods)
- The vacuum feels more even - not sure how that works but it just "feels" that way
- Works GREAT with water pumping (I ordered an inline trap that came in a couple of days ago and it works with the system perfectly!)
It works great with all of my cylinders:
2.25 x 10
2.50 x 10
3.5 x 10

I'm sure I can give more but those were the first ones that came to mind. Again, the only CON in my mind is that it's not as self contained as I'd like and I wish more profiles could be loaded to the system's memory. But that's a minor thing. Way too many PROs to let that one sway you.
