What is the max time you would go for vac hanging? This would be under low pressure (like 4hg)?

I’ve done two hours at a time, for a couple months, until , I got blisters multiple occasions, esp when weight was 13-16 lbs.
.This was with the saber skin sleeve.

Currently have been using the fknMint sleeves for a few weeks and hang 60 mins , eleven to thirteen lbs and has been holding very well. FknMint also has a band that kind of seals the bottom, I used to use rubber bands on the saber skin , these seem better.

i advise not increasing more than 15-30 minutes every few weeks... personally i only add 15 minutes at a time.. after I was injured for a month with blisters I started over at just an hour (after being 2.5 hours) and slowly took 6 months to build back up to 2.5 hours... no blisters in the last 6 months

make sure your vac device doesn't slip & the parts fit right -- most of my injuries come from slipping or poorly fitting parts (i now pump in extra air if I feel it's loose & i make sure to use matching parts)

i.e. i think adding 15 minutes every 2 weeks is very low risk... (for hanging/ ADS) what you want to do is avoid injury; my last injury took a while to come back from (i lost a bit of size & was forced to stop PE for 4 weeks or so & then started over with shorter pumping & ADS routines -- it took ages to build back up).

Thanks. Right now, I’m conditioned to 2 or 3 sets of 35 minutes. Haven’t gone over that. Still at low weight though, like 4 lbs. will move up to 5 lbs early next week
