Contemplating cylinder upgrade

Damn, I wish I had known about Velseal cylinders before. I might still buy one actually, if it would help me to achieve my goals faster. But I found some generic silicone cushions on eBay which are really cheap. Here’s the link:

It could also be that I just need to get used to the bigger cylinder. I remember when I first started pumping with my 2x9 cylinders, it also felt very uncomfortable in the beginning but after a while, I just got used to it. I think I’m going to give it a week to see if I can acclimate to the bigger cylinder’s push against my groin. If I can’t, I will get one of those cushions.

Those sleeves look like they will work, but also try starting your routine with your 2X9 and finishing your routine with your 2.25X10.

I did some experimentation today and I found a good workaround. Basically, while I insert my erect unit into the cylinder, I simultaneously tug my nutsack in a downward motion with my other hand, and then firmly press the cylinder against my groin. I tried this earlier and it created a much better seal.

I don’t think the vacuum pressure was the main problem, although it certainly contributed to be sure. I can handle 10 minutes @15Hg in the tube with relative ease, as my unit is well conditioned at this stage to that pressure. The main problem was just the bigger diameter of the opening pushing up against areas that I’m not used to; particularly the bottom side of my base connects with my nutsack. I think I’m just going to have to get used to that uncomfortable sensation, much like how I got used to it in the beginning when I started pumping. Eventually it should become a non issue as the base of my penis grows and naturally creates a better seal. And tugging downward on my nutsack while inserting my unit into the tube rectifies the suckage issue with the balls for now.

You know honestly, I wouldn’t mind trying lower pressure, but I’m kind of in a rush. I will be attending an Academy later this year for several months, and so I want to be able to have maximum growth in a short amount of time before going there as I won’t be able to pump. I have zero doubts that lower pressure would work as effectively for growth, but the main advantage of higher pressure is that it can dramatically speed up the rate of expansion and growth, provided your unit can keep up with the increase in pressure. So I’m going to try and hit 9x7 before going there if possible.

OK I give up. The pain is just too much for me to ignore. I had to cut this night’s session short (despite the awesome expansion I was getting), because the damn cylinder kept sucking my left testicle close to the opening. That uncomfortable feeling wasn’t just the cylinder pushing up against my groin like I thought. That I can handle. It’s my nutsack being sucked into the opening, causing my left testicle to rub up hard against the cylinder that I can't handle. Damn shit is fucking painful! VacuTech shouldn’t sell these things without sleeves for God’s sake!

Luckily I already ordered one of those sleeves, and it should be here by Wednesday. I’m going to use the time between as an extended break from PE. I’ve been going nonstop this entire time, so I think I’ve earned a bit of a break.

I own several vacutech Thickwall cylinders that do not get used for this reason. The Thickwall design isn’t meant for the pressures you’re using. Conventional pumping wisdom doesn’t take you outside of 10HG so your issue is outside of their typical design spec.

Yes, you guys were definitely right, and I was wrong. High vacuum pressure like I am accustomed to using is not currently feasible in this cylinder, at least not without a sleeve. Perhaps when I grow into it more and my BEG is able to plug the opening more effectively things will change, but until then, there is no way in hell I’m using 12Hg and greater with this thickwall.

Next time, I will stick to no more than 10Hg. I know I can definitely tolerate 10Hg with no real issues. When I get my sleeve, I will try and see if it fixes the problem completely.

So thanks for the good advice thoughtfulgold, gprent and Titleist. :D
