Vacuum Pumping 101

I’m new to this. I have some”stupid” questions.

How long should I pump for? Or at least keep it in the pump?

How long does it take to get a “pump” when taking the pump off? Will it look bigger for some minutes at least?

Whats the best pumps to use?

This is a great pump at a great price and shipping is free:

Hello friends,

I am a guy of spanish forum. Sorry about my english level. I have been doing manual PE workouts for 18 months without gains and I want to start doing thid pump routine. I have few questions that people in spanish forum can’t answer me.

1- When you start doing 2 and 3 sets per day, do you do all of them in the same session or do you distribute the sets in the morning, afternoon and night?

2- How much time of jelq is necessary after pump set? Wet or dry jelq?

3- Stretching before sets would be possitive? How much time?

Any other advice would be nice to help me. I am very frustrated.

Thank you very much!

How long are your sets and what techniques are you using in each set? The answer makes a big difference. If you are stretching and jelqing and pumping for say 30 minutes per set, then you should only do 1 set per day.

If you are planning to make pumping your primary PE method, then I would jelq for maybe 5 minutes before pumping and just use the same lube you use for pumping. Working you way up to 20 to 25 minutes continuous pump sets is a good goal, but you have to work you way up to that level over the course of a couple of weeks, depending on you PE frequency. Say one day on, one day off, or whatever you plan to do. I hope you already use rest days in your current routine.

Stretching would best be done at the start before you put on lube for 5 minutes or so, but I am not sure how much time you are already used to doing this.

One thing is for sure, trying to do too much will have more of a negative impact then a positive one.

One last thing, it is best to start your own thread in the pumping section rather then adding it onto this old, but good, monster thread.

I got fairly good results from pumping 20 minutes at 5 hg in the morning and again at night five or six days a week. I also did one 45 minute session a week at 4 hg

Thank you very much. When I became advanced in pump technique I will try it if I have no gains with Avocet8 routine.

Thank you very much sir. I newbie in any pump routine. I was talking about Avocet8 routine.

Avocet8 sais that he jelks about few minutes after sets but how many minutes are ‘few minutes’? Five? Ten?

When I advance and get the weeks where I have 2 or 3 sets, I need to do jelqus after all sets?

For example, think I am in the fourth week…

How I do the sets? One in the morning and the other at night or the two sets in the same session?

If the answer was the first, when I have 3 sets how could I do? Morning, afternoon and night?

Thank you very much to everybody and sorry about my bad english level.

A few minutes is 3 minutes. Do pump,jelq,pump jelq one right after another, in the same session. If you advance to 3 sets do them all in the same session. You could pump for 5 to 10 minutes, then jelq for 3, pump for 5 to 10 minutes and then jelq for 3. That would be 2 sets in a row. I like to always enter the tube erect when I pump. When you exit the tube you should have a nice full semi-erect to jelq with.

But there are hundreds of way to do PE so start slow and find out what works best for you and build from there.

Thanks a lot… I hope to find gains by pumping. I am not obsessed with it because I am happy with my size but I dream with the day when I get my goals.

Finger crossed.

Best regards

How important is it cause I only pump?

Hi everyone!
First I have to thank those who brought up filling a tube sock with rice to make a heat pad to use while pumping. I got a similar “rice sock” heat pad on Amazon, which is very nice for the shoulders, but doesn’t wrap around my cylinder (1.75” diameter) very evenly or easily. It’s great as a pre-pump/PE warm up, but wrapping a cylinder, it kinda sucks.

So, I started to fill a tube sock with rice and played with density and length of the sock with my cylinder. In doing so I just “invented” a really cool, very easy to make, “tube sock cylinder heater”! Using a needle and thread, I managed to sew the rice sock into a loop with almost no gap at the seam I created, and the tube can easily be “inserted” into the donut rice sock. I made two of these and they completely cover over my cock (I’m at 8-8.25”inches in the tube now).

**If you know how to sew at all, this will be very easy for you. If you don’t, look it up and it’s not hard!! Believe me, it’s worth the craft time spent on this, it’s revolutionizing my pump routine!!

Time spent: 15-30 minutes per sock
Start filling your sock. After a little bit, lay it on a table and try to flatten it out and make the rice even. I got the rice thickness at about 1” to 1.5”inches consistently.
Take your clean cylinder and lay it over the sock on one end and see if you can fold it over the tube. If you do a “flop” kind of movement the rice stays put in the sock and folds over the tube nicely.
Keep adding rice until you’re at the length needed to fully wrap around your tube, and so the rice thickness in the sock stays the same too.
I pinched the open end of the sock right where the other end meets it when it’s wrapping the tube.
****(Don’t try to sew with the tube still in contact with the sock! Ditch the tube once you have the sock length figured out.)****
I then started to sew across the sock in a straight line to the other side. This completely seals the sock.
Cut off the slack of whatever part of the sock is not filled with rice but leave about a 1/2”inch overhang; in other words, don’t cut it too close to the seam!

Next, I fold the sock in half so the toe-end part meets the seam I just created and stretch the toe part so that it matches the seam end to end.
***Try to keep the slack down to a minimum on the toe-side, no more than a half an inch. If you can’t sew with that little slack, adjust for this when getting the length of the sock right before sewing 1st seam.**
Sew through the original seam and pull the needle through the toes side. Create a second seam from end to end.
This further strengthens the closure of the sock and connects the ends together.
Viola you are done!! Make another one and you’ll have two perfect tube sock heater donuts for perfect contact of the rice sock and cylinder. No gaps! And, it’s very very easy to hold! They just stay on the tube on their own, all you have to do is hold it up (or rest it on a surface if that’s how you pump.). I only pump standing up so I hold it up and out.

It’s like I made a “condom” for my pump cylinder out of rice socks. They slip on very easily and you don’t have to do much once they are on.
I originally tried the tying-end-to-end method for this but the knot is very thick and leaves a big gap where there’s no rice to make contact with the tube. I wanted end-to-end perfect contact of rice on tube. This sewing method allows for that if you so desire.

Have fun everyone!

I’m definitely getting this. I may have to stop pumping, and this saddens me.

A combination of pumping and manual exercises do seem to be the most effective way for permanent gains. At the very least, Jelqing will help move the blood around between sets. :)

What’s a durable cheap starter pump?
