I've tried multiple shorter sessions with lower pressures (4 x 15 min sets at 5 hg) without much lasting success. For past few days I've been doing fewer longer sessions at even lower pressure. The other day I did 2 x 30 minute sets at 2.5 hg. Just finished back to back 40 min and 30 min sets at 2.5 hg. Felt really good with minimal edema. So far, so good. Here's two post-session pix. 3FC7AC79-17C8-450D-A533-4C472A1858A9.jpeg

Low pressure takes longer but seems to work the best.
I hate lymphatic fluid buildup / edema making the doughnut beneath the corona.
I recently started a low pressure, long set routine after years of minimal progress using higher pressure, shorter sets.

So for how long are your sessions?

Been doing 40-minute sets lately. Mostly one set but sometimes two.
And you don't get any lymph bloat? Like, those pictures you posted were directly after coming out of the tube? I'm kind of surprised since low pressure usually yielded far more lymphatic buildup. It's just more time you're under pressure and drawing fluid into the shaft skin.

Quite the opposite. I get almost zero bloat at 2.5 hg, milking the tube and staying hard for 40 min. Higher pressures always result in more lymph for me.

I got severe discoloration from long (1+ hours), low pressure sessions and hardly any gains. It took over a year for my cock to return to its normal colour.

I gain size with short but intense hydropumping sessions in a hot bath, after a 5 minute warm up I make sure that I have a hard boner before entering the cylinder and I'll pump to a pressure that is just below the threshold of pain and hold it there for 5 minutes, I work up a hard boner and repeat 3 more times. I usually do regular kegels and pump from time to time to maintain the pressure. I try to be consistent and pump every other day.

Gains are very slow but they keep coming, I'm always amazed by the size of my cock after pumping, this temporary size becomes permanent after a few months if I'm consistent.

Sometimes longer recovery periods can be more productive; I would assume so especially for higher pressure sessions like you mentioned. Maybe try 2-5 off days in between.

You're right!
I usually listen to my body, I always get best results when I'm feeling horny with unexpected erections occuring during that day, I'm able to maintain a full erection during most of my pumping session, I try not to cum too often so that I can have more days like that and I find that it's better to do a pumping session before dinner or a few hours after eating and before 11pm, this helps with blood flow and avoids being too tired.
On other days, the session doesn't feel as successful, I might be tired due to lack of sleep, I'll have difficulty focusing of sexy thoughts and my cock isn't interested in staying hard. I usually don't insist with that session and I'll wait a day or two before the next.
When I say high pressure, I estimate that I pump to around 5 hg - I bought a hand pump without a pressure gauge (to pump under water) and that feels like the pressure threshold of pain I experience when I'm air pumping (with a pressure gauge). Too much vacuum hurts and results in edema donuts, burst blood vessels on my shaft and sometimes blood blisters on my glans. Short sessions with a hard erection keep you expanded beyond your largest size for most of the session which results in both length and girth gains.

Oh, I thought you meant something like above 10 hg! 5 hg seems to be the standard default pressure in various circles. Pressures vary but there are those sessions where you can build up to 25-30 and it almost feels like it's not enough, like it's a leather belt that's at a comfortable relaxed tension around your waist and could use another 5-10 hg that the pump just can't provide. Things can act mysteriously and unexpectedly above 10 hg. Sometimes, in fact many times, 9 hg seems to be the right spot. Just have to feel it out in the pump and out of it like you mentioned. It's that tricky balance between deformation, recovery, and retaining EQ.

Wow! You really have to condition your cock to survive those extremely low pressures.
Once I briefly pumped up to 10-12 Hg and I burst a blood vessel inside my urethra, then the discoloration I mentioned was mostly from 2.5-4Hg for several hours nightly, so I no longer chase high pressures or long durations and risk more injuries. 5-6Hg is where I feel a comfortable stretch without causing inflammation which can hinder gains.
I gained my first inch by creating a vacuum with my lungs instead of using a hand pump, I figured that I couldn't create dangerous vacuum levels that way, I did manage to cause a few burst blood vessels but very rarely. It proved to me that there is a sweetspot where gains occur that doesn't require excessive risk or too much time.

No gains with low pressure and high time?

Did you use a heating pad ??

I might have gained a millimetre or two but nothing significant considering the time and effort I put in. It's because I couldn't remain properly hard for so long and depended on the vacuum to maintain expansion which is smaller than a full erection + medium vacuum hydropumping.
I used a far infra-red heat pad all the time.
I gave up the long duration low vacuum pumping method after several months, 3 months is usually enough to see if you're gaining or not.

Interesting!

seems people have to use what works for them...

Thanks for the feedback brother

I have nothing to go on but my theory, and I choose to go higher vacuum for shorter time. I think the extreme pressure differential is needed to stress the tissues enough to increases their blood volume capacity. I think that’s the ticket to actual permanent size increase (still a difficult proposition)

Perhaps you could hold it at a lower vacuum after stretching it first with higher vacuum. I don’t think low vacuum and time does much more than fluid swelling
