I don't 'feel' a stretch while using the VacExtender

[Wuddup]

Please some help here!

I have the VacExtender since yesterday and so far I don't feel any type of stretch. I can see with my eyes that my penis is stretched, but I can't feel it. Is this normal?

 

[DemOne]

Extenders are for leaving the penis in an extended state over a period of time, not for stretching. Not feeling a stretch is normal for proper use.

 

[funflyer]

ditto!

I even don't feel any type of stretch while I am using the VacExtender with the V Stretch Attachment. They claim that you should feel fatigued in 20 minutes while I am feeling not any type of fatigue.

When I was using my hands instead of an extender I had to stretch hard and give my penis some V Stretches, but I couldn't hold it for a long while so I bought the VacExtender, but I don't feel any type of stretch.

 

[Wuddup]

Am I supposed to feel anything, I feel nothing. And how do I know what the right type of extension is. I only know that the extenders springs are 3.6 lbs springs, but people are talking about 900 gr or 1500 gr, what do they do to achieve this?

 

[funflyer]

When they talk about 900 or 1500 there are lines there that are supposed to represent where 900 or 1500 grams of tension is achieved. I don't believe it is accurate but depending on your springs depends on the tension of the lines. I have a 2100 spring so line one is 700 line 2 is 1400 line 3(fully compressed spring) is 2100.

 

[Wuddup]

I don't have any lines
So how could I measure I only read that the springs are 3.6 lbs on the site of AutoExtender

You haven't had it that long at all, you need do build up and condition yourself. When i got mine i started out with a stretch of a .5 inch below my EL, after a week or 2 i bumped it up about .5 inch, and now im stretching a little less then a .5 inch past my EL.

From what ive read on here you want to stay either a half inch above or below your EL and that you shouldn't really worry about how many grams of tension your at.

I measured with a fine scale.
Basically I disassembled the VacExt and compressed the spring (inside the base) on top of the scale and read what it shows. The middle where there's a bit of knurling (in my case) is about 750g (per spring!)

That's good. Extenders work for growth by causing cell growth/division. That is done by having the penis in an extended state for a long period of time (hours). If an extender is on and putting tension to the point that it is stretching beyond it's normal capacity, that will slow down the effectiveness of the extender, even with a V stretch attachment.

The tension springs are there to constantly keep the penis at that extended rate, as it's easier, safer, and better to have springs continuously adjust the extension of the penis rather then having the user go at static rods every 5 minutes or so making sure the extension is right.

You normally want to extend only to your normal flaccid stretch length before you ever get to feeling ligaments stretch. Over time in the extender, new tissue cells grow, and as that does, your erect and flaccid length increase as well as your flaccid stretch length. Heavier tension springs are only really needed if the current ones just cannot maintain that extended length for what ever reason.

 

[Wuddup]

Will the Base cushion (of VacExtender) take off some of the tension? Or shouldn't I worry about that?

 

[DemOne]

A negligible amount. The base cushion will make it more comfortable to wear as you wont have as much pressure on the base and skin.

I just measured my penis while it was stretched without the VacExtender vacuum cap and after I apply the vacuum cap I noticed that my stretched flaccid length is shorther (, because a part of my penis gets in the vacuum cap). I measured my penis again (including the cap) and when it was stretched with the extender I measured it again (including the cap) and this time my size was 3 mm/0.12 inch longer. (I measured again right now and the size is the same with or without the extender). Am I putting too much tension on my penis. I feel that the extender is there right which I didn't felt before and the silicone sleeve is pulling my skin is the feeling that I feel most.

The measurments where NBPFSL with the cap (the size with and without the extender was the same) when I measured BPFSL with the cap my BPFSL without the extender my BPFSL was longer without the extender (something between (0.6 inches-0.8 inches)).

Which measurment should I use?

I am sorry that I am asking so much questions, but you don't have a manual with the VacExtender. They only have a manual on their site which tells you how to apply the device on your penis (this manual gives some advice, but isn't detailed enough).

 

[DemOne]

Don't worry about measurements, just that it's extending as much as possible without actually stretching.

 

[Wuddup]

It is kind of funny I don't feel any stretch, but after I take the device off, my flaccid length looks slightly longer.

(I am wearing the device right now) I made the length of the rods a little bit shorter (by 1 cm) and I reapplied the vac cap, because while my penis was extended the sleeve started to pull on my glans (it was stretching my glans) which started to hurt.

Thanks for all the advice DemOne

DemOne, I was under the impression that the extender worked best by stretching you beyond normal capacity which in turn provokes mitosis in the penile tissue. I usually stretch about half an inch past what my penis can on it's own. Have gained 1/3" in a week under 2 months. Granted however, I am a newbie and these might be early good gains. Maybe I'll experiment with your method and extend at exactly my normal stretch if it'll hasten any gains

I am a newbie to extenders (, but not a newbie to PEing).
I was just curious how long did you used your Extender on average (so how many hours and how many days)? And was it a VacExtender or an extender with a noose or strap? Did it hurt when you stretched those extra bit?

Stretching beyond normal length just works the ligaments, not really working on mitosis. Flaccid length usually will stretch further than EL length, and it's that maximum length that works best.

Doesn't your skin grow along with your ligaments? So according to you, somebody shouldn't use an extender beyond their flaccid stretched length because this doesn't help to grow their whole penis?

What do you think about the TGC Theory? (https://www.pegym.com/forums/pe-the...-focus-your-pe-gain-tgc-theory-explained.html)
I have also a Bathmate, but I don't use it that much. If my FSL is longer than my EL would using the Bathmate help me to gain some EL?

 

[DemOne]

The skin grows too.
Extenders, yeah they can increase your length, but that's not what they were originally created for. The cell growth comes from very light extension over a long period of time. Full on stretching might work for some, but not how extenders are to be used. They'd be called penis stretchers if that were so.
The light extension and not full on stretching is also how people can manage to wear an extender for long periods of time. Attempting to really stretch for hours would really over-work one's penis.

Remember, extenders are an actual medical device, not some quick penis growing tool.
