How can I avoid the dreded Purple dick when using a VED? Petechiae.

[junk098]

Petechiae - Broken capillaries on the surface of my penis shaft. Appears as purple dots. Usually caused by too much vacuum applied too fast, or too aggressively.
Disappears in 2-3 days when I discontinue use of VED, but then so does the results gained by VED use.
Can be avoided by much less aggressive vacuum use, but then I get little to no results.

Have you found the right combination?
Creating enough vacuum to engorge, but not so much as to cause petechiae?
Or do you just power thru the purple dick to achieve your desired result?

Maybe use less pressure with longer time?

I've always used high pressure in my VED, 15 inches of mercury or more. My assumption was always that more is better, right? I started using lower pressures in the 7-10 inches range and I can go much longer comfortably and with less trauma.

I will usually use about 15 inches just to get everything plumped up, then ease back to 10 or less for as long as I need to. It's much more comfortable and I can keep it like that as long as needed.

My wife hates the Purple Dick, but loves the fatness

I’ve read that the extreme spots are from engorging to fast,
So I start off slow. Light pressure for a bit a few times then increase it a bit, repeat, repeat.

I would like to buy one that is programmed that way.

Are you using a pump with a separate cylinder to accommodate your length? I get to about 8-1/2” in a pump, so the standard pumps, which all seem to max out at 8” are inadequate. I can hold it 1/2” away from my body, since my girth fills the tube and prevents the vacuum from releasing, but it takes both hands to hold it away at max vacuum after a few minutes.

The Pos-T-Vac medical pump I use has an XL cylinder which is 10 x 2.2" diameter. My consumer pump is a LeLuv that's 12x2.3. I can fill up the width of either when fully pumped, and I release the pressure then use my fingers to break the seal and ease the cylinder off of me. I have a 2.5" diameter cylinder, but that reliably sucks up my balls painfully.

I also find it's better to get a slightly tighter girth fit as the pressure has nowhere to go but to expand length better. I get about 9.25" total length in the 2.3"D cylinder at 12-15 inHg. Feels like a strong stretch.

That’s awesome at 9.25” in a cylinder. It’s a thrill. I have some larger cylinders too, but dislike the separate pump. I too, have a “medical” cylinder, and got the optional larger one, but it’s max. Vacuum only. I also release the vacuum the same way after I fill the width. We should compare in-pump photos.

I haven’t seen anyone here post about the, in my and others opinion, necessary step of warming up before pumping and again afterwards to increase capillary blood flow and dramatically reduce the onset of blood spots from the bursting or clogging of the capillaries in your skin.
I do it by sitting on the bench in my shower and soaking my dong in hot water for anywhere from seven to ten minutes both before and after the session. Then the first five minute portion of the session I slowly increase pressure from 2 to 5 hg. After the first five minutes I release the pressure and do Kegal’s slowly for as much of the next three minutes as possible and then reapply the pump and again not too quickly pump up to 5hg. On my third and 4th ect rounds of pumping I increase pressure to 7 hg and my time to 6 and then next seven minutes. Don’t forget the 3 minute pause between pumping rounds.
The reason I do kegals instead of milking the blood thru my penis’ tissues is because I pump laid up in my bed and the castor oil is too messy to get all over my hands but the kegals seem to work well. I hope that this helps.
