Pumping Pressure

I have a question about pressure. I see lots of post saying to keep it at 5 Hg and then I see others up to and over 10 Hg. I started out holding at 5 Hg but lately move up to 7.5 Hg because I felt more expansion and I’m not seeing any spotting. Thoughts from the group?

I think the best way is to go slow with both pressure and time when you pump. Because pumping is a slow procedure. Build overall time! I have tried low and high pressure and my thoughts were just the same as yours, that the expansion felt more around 7 Hg.
But these days after a lot of reading from the guys who knows like gprent, sparklyx, firegoat, capernicus..and all credits to them :-)
I think PE is about feeling pleasure not pain!
I pump from 2- just to under 5 Hg, and over that I begun to feel high intense pressure, not pleasure.
What matters is not what happens inside the pump but what happens outside the pump. Permanent gains over the long run is what we want,
So my advice is 4, 5 max 5 Hg and focus on jelqing, kegels in pump, jelqing the tube and heat.

Make pumping feeling plesureble at low pressure and you’re gonna love it :-)

You actually have it completely backwards. If the gauge reads 5” Hg you actually decrease the pressure down to 7.5” Hg and you are further yet decreasing the pressure down to 10” Hg.
If you equate this to pumping, You are safest to use as much pressure as possible to avoid spots, donuts and injuries. In other words: never use more vacuum than is required to achieve a full erection or you will very likely do some damage. I also do not recommend pumping a full erection, if you are getting those.

As far as the actual amounts reading on a gauge, it’s hard to know for certain. The surface area that the vacuum is acting on seems to make a difference to me, anyway. I find it needed to increase it to more than 7.5” Hg in order to reach my full hardness. I have even had more vacuum than that between12.5” and close to 15” Hg in short cycles. The trouble is at these levels is I have no fat and the end tube presses into me very hard and bruises me around my base and I have to keep stopping to pull my balls back from being sucked through and into the cylinder.
The objective is to mimic the kind of rock hard erections that a girl used to give to me (when she had the patience) that made it so hard that it would actually hurt and the only thing I can feel is my raging hard cock and the rest of me is not there even though I’m connected to it! It’s an extremely hard cock that I try to achieve and it takes a long time to get it to that state. I’ve tried less vacuum but it doesn’t get me hard enough.

Most of my sessions are well over an hour before letting my flaccid meat (about 8 inches) out of it’s tube. I let it rest for a few minutes and just hang for a while before massaging it to get fresh blood circulating. I keep miking it and try to keep the length stretched out and continue to squeeze more blood in. I will either; turn it into a sort of a warm-down exercise and try to make this last and I will repeat it 5 min. later then 10min. then 15. 20, 30 min. etc. or, if I can keep a good semi going and I’m not too tired, I will just keep on masturbating for a few hours or more and turn it into an all out marathon edging/ballooning session. If I can go long enough, I will reward myself with a nice intense cum (I wish!) or, most likely, just save it up for another time! ;)

Either way, I don’t like to rely on a gauge. I think it’s better to go by feel.

The internal blood pressure it takes to facilitate an erection is around 3-4”hg; which is why we tell everybody to keep it at that level. The problem with penis pumping above that pressure that for too long can increase the blood vessels in your penis too much and make it harder to achieve an erection without pumping or clamping, something to force an erection because you’ve become so conditioned. Based off of what I’ve seen and my experience with it I would advise you to step it up as slowly as you feel comfortable with it and give yourself more days off. Don’t think you can get away with pumping at 5”hg+ everyday for weeks on end and still have 100% EQ because you need more rest the more you do. I used to pump above and beyond that too for a lot less time once or twice a week. And then if you’re going to increase the pressure and add more rest days you’re also going to need deloading periods. So like 3 weeks above 5”hg, 1 week below 3”hg… or however long it takes you to recover and get your EQ back. But if you can’t be smart about using a pump and can’t use it without abusing it then you need to give it up. I warn guys all the time about how PE gear can wreck your erection for life if you’re not absolutely careful. So be careful!

A little engineering here.. I found this engineering table that converts inches of Hg to pounds per square inch (psi). 15" Hg corresponds to about 7.4-7.5 pounds per square inch of "vacuum". Your dick has about 50 square inches of surface area (8x6.5=52).

Vacuum - Pressure Units Converter

That means at 15" Hg, you have about 390 pounds of force acting on your dick, basically attempting to pull it outward in all directions. I’m not pumping yet, but this sounds like a seriously bad idea!

Is pumping without a gauge not more dangerous because I could easily go over 10 Hg without a reading

Successful pumping is a combination of both time and pressure and the best results come from lower pressure and pumping for a long time. That is why a maximum of 5”hg is recommended, because then you can pump for 30 minutes and more at a time, without injury. If you try pumping for 30 minutes at 7.5”hg, you will sustain trauma and that is counter productive.

Are you saying 5 Hg for 30 minutes straight? I have been doing 3 - 10 minutes sets at 5 - 7.5 Hg with short breaks

That’s what I am saying, 30 minutes without a break. But you should work up to it gradually. A couple of sessions at 15 minutes, then a few at 20, then 25 then 30. After that you can go even longer. This way you get maximum expansion.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you not get any marks or bruising? I know when I come out after just 10 minutes my skin is dark for a minute or so.

I am led to believe that you should never leave your penis under a vacuum for more than five min. at a time.
Are you sure that it is safe for me to go longer than 5 min.??

As far as time removed from vacuum between 5 min. pumps, I have not heard any info as to the min rest times that should be allowed between each repetition.
Is there a min time that I should be out of the vacuum? ..or out of the cylinder altogether?

I done several reps at a time being careful not to exceed 5 min. then dump the vacuum and pump back up right away with no rest time between reps. Each rep I will gradually increase the vacuum. After the first set (15-30 min.) I pull out and milk it for a few min. unless I am firm enough to masturbate for as long as it lasts. (usually only 1-2 min.). When I go soft I start the next set, gradually increasing the vacuum to as much as it takes, another (20-40min.) or so till I get hard then pull out massage it to firmness and masturbate as long as possible (2-5min.) before going soft the second time. I do another 2 or 3 sets that pushes the session to well over an hour long until I have a very angry cock that is trying to pack the cylinder one last time before taking it out for good. I milk fresh blood in and massage it to a last and final masturbation session that hopefully lasts a few to several hours.

I have learned only from trial and error so I may be doing this entirely wrong?

I have no idea where you got that misinformation, but anyone who is serious about pumping stays in the tube for long periods of time at constant, but moderate pressure.

What is the best way to go into the tube ,,, less than 100% or 100 % erection

I have read some great older posts about not going in at 100% and others say to go in at 100%

Sorry for asking in this thread but I posted a new thread on my question but don’t see it anywhere

I always go in at close to or at 100%. For me that is by far the best way. I can bone press the tube and start my cock the deepest into the tube as possible to start off with. The thing is, there are guys that swear by going in at flaccid or perhaps a bit above flaccid.

Just try it a different levels and find out what seems to work best for you.
