Hey Guys!
Hope everyone is doing well. I was recently implanted with AMS 700 LGX. I need to invest in a new VED. Do any of you guys have any recommendation for a new VED that you really like? I would like the new one to have a pressure gage and be hand pumped and not run off batteries. I appreciate any of your recommendations. Thanks! I have looked on Amazon and some of them look like they are very cheaply made. I would like a quality made pump that will last me a good while.

Re: Recommendation for new VED
I would recommend checking with your surgeon and making sure it's safe to use a VED before starting. I'm not saying it's not safe but more to the point, WHEN will you be cleared to do so and if possible, suggestions on how to use a VED with an implant.
First, you want to make sure there is a gauge on the device and you know how much vacuum you shouldn't exceed. Also, almost certainly you will NOT want to use rings while using the VED because they will probably put pressure on the tubes and maybe even the corporotomies, especially if you had yours as distally as mine were (right at the base).
You might want to look into different diameters of VED cylinders to size closer to your girth. If you aren't going medical grade, LeLuv makes clear acrylic cylinders in various diameters. Measure your penis from left to right because the implant makes it oval instead of round. That will be the basis for the diameter (go a little larger).
I bought the LeLuv 1.75" before I was implanted, along with a trigger operated brass vacuum pump with a gauge (similar to what mechanics use for brake bleeding). It worked well.

Re: Recommendation for new VED
I just used the cheap one on Amazon. Went to 3 inch diameter to clear the tubes at my base. I didn't use it that much. Came out of healing at full length of pre RP.

Re: Recommendation for new VED
I also use and recommend the LeLuv product.
I use a variety of sizes from 1.35 inch to 2 inch and find the narrow is best for length stretching while the wider is good for girth.
I cycle through them and the narrow bore prevents nutsucking - as I go through the larger bores my penis adjusts to each size in turn and prevents nutsucking, which occurs with the large cheapo pumps without fail.
By the end of the cycle my penis nearly fills the 2 inch bore, and I am going to buy more tubes as my girth increases.
I believe this method gets faster results - at least that has been my experience since using the LeLuv product.
