Best Pumps

i believe you're correct in that assumption.with pumps,you get what you pay for.the bathmate is a plastic toy...nothing more.

i thought it was about high heeled shoes as well
and i can't even play the "i am such a girl" excuse!

with pumps,be selective as you get what you pay for.cheap plastic toys serve no purpose,the so-called bathmate is a fine example of the "cheap toys"we veteran pumpers speak of.dont waste your money on junk fellas.

The best electrict pump is made by pumptoys called the qslogic...fantastic pump.They also make good cylinders and tubes.
Another good source for tubes and manual pumps is vacutech.

Good Luck Nypumper

agreed.vacutech has very good pumps at reasonable prices.pumptoys have a very good selection as well .

anyone tried JNoutlet.com? They seem pretty good value, was thinking about the Kaplan tube, as a starter tube. Just don't want to order somethign from a company and then nothing arrive! Also hope that they do international deliver, the $ - £ rate works great for me, so the prices are even better at the moment!

I agree with Rikter8 on both these points.

I have two Vacutech thickwall cylinders; very good quality and good customer service.

I also have the Harbor Freight pump, and it is the same pump being sold for much more by the pumping vendors. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you buy the Harbor Freight pump and the Vacutech cylinder, you will need to buy a male adapter for the end of the pump tubing. You can either buy it directly from Vacutech when you order the cylinder, or you can buy it from another source such as item 5012K251 from McMaster-Carr.

The Kaplan tube is OK as a starter tube, as long as you understand what you are getting for the price. It comes with a plastic pump, and reports of handles breaking are not uncommon. My big concern about Kaplan is the cylinder; it's tapered, which makes it easier to pack the head before achieving full shaft expansion.

Most of them are made in china anyway.
It IS the same that LAP-DIST pump works sells. (lap-dist.com) The only difference is the sticker that says "NW PUMP WORKS". Big deal.

It works the same, holds the same amount of vacuum...why pay more?

Scuse me. Its a CPC made connector (Colder Products Company).
Attached are photos of the Male that goes onto your clear tubing, and the female that screws into your cylinder.
They also make a Female to barb, so you can make your own Male/Female/Female Y buddy connector for the fraction of the cost as well.

well fellas,i started years ago with the cheap john holmes model.then i bought a kaplan pump,which lasted for years with a bit of success.ive recently switched to nw pumpworks..so far so good.still considering a thickwall vacutech in the near future.damned!my cock has a bad pump habit!

There’s a lot of good stuff written on this thread. I too have a QS7 from Pump Toys and found it outstanding, just like the company; the original pump they sent, over two years ago, soon developed a problem and they replaced it without a quibble within a week, to the UK. Now CTC pumps, on the other hand, I found their product crap, just like the company. I watched it develop fault after fault till it eventually it fell apart in less than six months and the company couldn't give a damn! (Sorry, I’m venting my spleen here guys, but I should hate to see anyone else become a victim! )

Likewise I think thickwall are the best cylinders. Being in the UK, I’ve brought mine from Thickwall in London. I used to make my own years ago, but apart from growing lazy, I had a career change some time back and the materials became less easy to come by. The up side is the career change earned me more money, so I can now afford to buy

You have great looking, huge balls, man. Is it because of pumping them?

ive been threatening to try the Boston Works series for quite a while. Has anybody used them before? also, i should note that i havent started pumping yet...i know it requires hardcore patience and dedication, any tips for a newbie?

Damn, most complicated shopping choice for me ever

hmmm...

looking for a new tube. not sure to go with pumptoys or vaccutech? (leaning towards a velseal)

being as am slightly above 6' around... i would best fit a 2' diameter tube? do i want to fill the tube in length during pumping or is it beter to have some room left?

any way of making my nw tube work until my new one arrives? silicone?
