Well Karl, with pumping, it really does seem to be a "you get what you pay for" kind of thing, so yes, for a "real" pumping experience, which I consider to be 2 things, it will cost between $150-$200 USD. These two major components of pumping are:
1. The pump MUST have a pressure gauge, and you should NEVER exceed 7 mmHg EVER. I NEVER pump at even this level anymore. I like to use 5mmHg if I am really going heavy, and most of the time I use 4mmHg pressure.
2. The cylinder MUST fit properly for 2 reasons. The first reason is pretty simple. If the cylinder is too big, it can and will suck your balls back up inside the cylinder, and IT FUCKING HURTS. I have had this happen several times with $10 cheap cylinders. NOT WORTH IT. The other reason whhy you want the cylinder to fit is because even if you use correct pressure, with a big cylinder, your dick will pump "out" and not "up" meaning your dick's pumped girth will be huge, and even if it gets long too, if the cylinder is to big around, this pumped girth will translate into what bgstick18 and I call "light bulb dick" or "Bulbous dick" for the rest of the day, or until about 10-12 hours go by. It really sucks and during this temporary deformed state, you begin to wonder if your dick will EVER go back to normal, and god forbid you have to pull that sh*t out at a public urinal. HAHAHA
So yes, I will say this. If you are not willing to spend the money on a good one like vacutech, then just stick with jelqing. Jelqing can produce very similar effects to PROPER pumping, and obviously does WAY MORE for growing a bigger harder penis than pumping.
Believe me, I thought "Oh wow, I can get this cheap pump for only $10 bucks. Well, need I remind you to read the above?
