Vacuum Pumping 101

Sorry I haven’t read anything about PI’s :P… Well my flaccid has been a lot longer and fatter the last couple of days - I love it!
I will measure in three weeks.

Guys

After reading this post might have to pick up a pump

PIs:

Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth!

I just ordered a pump from LAP distribution as recommended, how long does it usually take to receive it? I know it will be awhile because I live on the exact opposite side of the country :[.

Measured recently, and no girth gains at all :( … How many 20-25 min sets should I do at 3-4hg really? 2-3 sets isn’t working.

How long have you been pumping, TenInchGoal? And are you seeing anything different in the tube than when you started?

One of the early signs that pumping was working for me was that I started to pack the base of the cylinder more and more quickly over time.

I have been pumping for 4 weeks now, I use the medical grade pump and cylinder, I started at 6.25x5.75 using a 9x2 tube, I do every other day for 30 mins a day, that’s what they told me to do at the shop. I am the size of a coke can and about 8 long for a few hours after the session. Will this size be permanent after a while or what.. I do get bruises after each session and get the donut effect but it goes away. I have a rather large left testicle that gets in the way and I think this may be part of my problem. I can’t afford the 5 grand to get the surgery to drain the fluid on it so I just live with it.What should I be looking for as far as a stopping size?

Problem here, i was pumping and i would see expansion, now that i’ve put a condom on my dick with the only thing being exposed is the head and the base, im not really seeing expansion (i heard this was to keep lymph out). Is this any good?

What pressure? Seems like you are doing some high pressure. Try to keep it less than 5HG.

What does 5Hg convert to in psi, the sex shop I bought the pump from said to do 30 min sessions at 250-300 psi.. Please tell me if they was out of there mind, I don’t want to loose use of my unit.

‘Andrewcopeland’. 34 PSI is what a car tire uses, 50PSI is around a basketball. 250-300 psi, is 250-300 LB/s of force PER SQUARE INCH.

I know that.. I’m not stupid, I’m just going by what I was told to do by the so called experts.

PSI is pressure, in hg is vacuum…they don’t convert. Good rule of thumb that is tried and true here is no need to go above 5 in hg.

Don’t confuse with how it looks in the tube with how it will look. If you over do it, you will cause contraction from smooth muscle trauma and get nowhere fast.

I think gradual, modest stress over time will stimulate smooth muscle growth which in turn puts steady mild pressure on the tunica and causes it to expand. Listen to the vets here and you have your best chance at gains.

Ok got it.. So 5 Hg for my 30 mins everyday is ok.

Andrewcopeland,

I was siding with you on that - no way calling you stupid, or trying to convert equivilent vacuum to PSI.

Were doing 3-5PSI on this site.

And what the guys are saying, doing it too hard, or too strong will cause the tissues to resist.
