| I would say use it like a bulb pump.....pump till it's good and tight....then back it off a little. Note that pressure and continue with it. As long as you don't get any little red dots....your fine. If you do get red dots...you know that you used too much pressure.....back off a little the next time.

| Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 11:31 am Post subject: How to get started? |
|
|
I've been reading these boards for a few months now, and have picked up a lot of ideas on how to get started. Fortunately, my wife has agreed to give it at try, so I am real excited to buy my first pump for her.
Does the hand-grip pump with gauge, like above, provide a much better experience than the cheaper bulb pumps I see? I would hate to spend $65-$80 US on the nicer pump if she ends up not digging it too much. Would a simple $20 unit like http://www.mojogarden.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8343 be a good way to start and see how she likes it?
Also, when going to the nicer system, I see a lot of brands calling their connectors 'universal quick-release', and they of course only claim to work with other tubes & cylinders they make. Is it much trouble to get a vacuum pumps to work with other brands of tubes & cups so that you we can easily try different shapes & body parts? Are universal connectors universal to each other?
Anyways, any advice or experiences are appreciated! You guys & gals all rock! Keep up the great pumping!

I have got the same pump. Excellent quality.
But I didn't by it for a high price in a sex shop but just for appr. 37,- EUROS in a motorcycle equipement store: The same pumps are used for brake liquid filling.

Neo--i cant say anything about that style of cup we
havenot used it.best i can tell its all about how the
cup fits to her area to be pumped up
its all about sealing air tight.
go read this thread from stryfe its all there
if you want to save money and make your own
plus its fun to hunt and gather together

http://store.newart.com/pussypump.html this is what we started with
https://www.pumptoys.com/prod/stoframe.php
these work on all of ours
or save some money and go to a hardware store and get a brass or nylon barb this will be a direct connect system
stryfe--We used a kickass bulp pump for months but she soon would fill the cup
to max volume and wanted more reasaults so as some here have
done we started to make our own to custom fit her own shape and
size the wife doing a little reading and thats how we ended up @ the
autozone store for a actron pump thanks for the advise

Well we started off with a kickass set also.....we changed out the cup.....but Mrs. Stryfe prefers the bulb pump.....so she uses it with all her stuff.

| That pump in the picture is available for about $25 from Harbor Freight. It works well and is easy to dissasmble to clean.

| I've had this pump for almost a year now and love it. It's not heavy and keeps good pressure. Buy it from Harbor Freight Tools and enjoy. Oh by the way 5 to 7 hgs for pressure....Jer

We started out with a bulb pump, and it was absolutely appalling. We almost gave up on the whole idea because of it. But, we decided to persevere, and picked up a BL Cup with a pump very much like this one. What a completely different experience. Easy to handle, kept the pressure, and let us focus on enjoying what we were doing instead of fighting with crappy equipment.
I just picked up this exact same Actron pump from Amazon last week for $35. Unfortunately, it seems to come with too narrow of a barb to work with the rest of the 1/4" ID tubing gear. A quick trip to Menards for a fresh brass barb (1/4"x1/8", $1.45 w/tax, Watts part no. A-192B) and the new pump is virtually identical to the one from BL. If you do this mod, don't forget to put a bit of PTFE tape on the threads first.
I also found a great source for the connectors. The manufacturer can be found here... http://www.colder.com/ and you can check their range online or order up their full colour brochure. BL appears to have used connectors from the APC Series, whereas the rest of the commercially available cylinders/cups use connectors from the PMC Series. For about $3 in parts, it was easy to make a converter so BL's pump would work with everything else. And the cup that originally had the bulb pump ? Converted to a compatible quick release connector for about $5 and less than a minute of time. If you're looking for a vendor for the connectors, I'd recommend http://www.indelco.com/. Ignore their minimum order quantities on their website. Just email a sales rep with what you need and they'll get it for you.
