Is my pressure meter working ok?

I have the lapdisct pump.

Before I see the meter of the gauge going up I have to squeeze the grip a few time’s.

It feels like a lot of pressure only at 3/4 Hg.

Probably because I am a pumping beginner and the pressure has to build up in the tube??

Just a little worried, I don’t want to go past the 5 Hg, because the meter ís not good.

Want to know for sure.

That sounds normal to me. When I first started, 5” hg was too much! Ow! 3 or 4” hg was about all I could handle without discomfort or pain. I used 3” hg for the first month or so, then went up to 3½” hg for several months… slowly working up to 4” hg recently.

Sounds like everything is working perfectly to me. You will notice, that the gauge scale does not begin at zero, so it takes a few squeezes to get the tube sealed and then get the needle moving.

I am now a firm believer, that pressure alone is not the most important thing about pumping. It is time at pressure and causing no damage. So it is way better to keep you pressure low in the 3 range and slowly increase your time spent in the tube.

A little suggestion, it might work for you; it worked for me. After you wake up in the morning, don’t masturbate, have sex, or do PE before your pumping session. You will be able to have a much more productive pumping session and handle higher vacuums.

I took a look at my gauge last night…it actually does start at 0. Mine is a from lapdist also, so I assume yours is the same.

Mine does that also.

So its either

a) Normal

or

b) We all have malfunctioning pumps.

Thanks, that’s clear than.

Sparky 91, I don’t want to go into high pressure’s yet, this is just my second week in pumping. Do you have any other reasons why pumping in the morning would be more productive?

My current routine;

15 minute’s pumping
400 firm jelqs
10 squeezes in the end
At the end masturbate until an erection, to check the erection level.

Next week I want to throw in some stretches. I want to know your thoughts if I should do them before or after pumping/jelqing.

My first thought is to do them before, if I do them after pumping/jelqing I will have to wait until my dick is 100% flaccid. Any theorie’s I don’t know which I could consider?

I think it’s best to stretch before pumping. If you stretch after, your stretch grip will squeeze out all of the blood you just worked so hard to pump in.

As an alternate idea to morning pumping, if you pump before going to sleep at night, then you can take advantage of your nocturnal erections to keep you extra large all night long. Is is a very passive and natural way to do PE while you sleep.

I think I have pumped at just about every hour of the day. The main thing is to just get it done.

anaon, I didn’t mean pumping in the morning. I mean that one shouldn’t jack off before a pumping session, starting from the morning.
This is just my personal observation, might be different for you.

I agree, your natural wood will be better in the pump then.

At least not in a few moments before pumping. Because of the decrease of your natural wood.
