Penis won't fill up in VED

[Ehiz]

Hi guys,  

Longtime lurker here. I just bought a cheap VED from online since I can't afford the ones recommended on this forum. I tried using it yesterday and today.

But no matter how long I pump, my penis doesn't engorge in the tube. So far, I think I've been able to keep and maintain a good seal while pumping.

I've also shaved my pubic air. I just don't understand why this is happening. At first, I thought this may be due to the cheap VED I bought. But I've seen similar complaints from some forum members who use the SomaCorrect or other VEDs recommended here. Why is this happening?

Also, I'm planning to buy a traction device with a glans suction cup from ebay, which was recommended by a forum member. However, my worry is that I won't be able to use it since the suction cup uses vacuum to engorge the glans of the penis (am I right?). This is due to the problem I'm already facing with my VED.

Should I go ahead to buy it? Or wait to see If I can get an erection with the VED first?

It doesn't emgorge your glans that much (the suction cup). It will create a seal. The only remaining issue after that is whether you are using the correct sized sluices and diaphragm. It should not be an issue. Not really the same problem.

Ehiz,
Sounds to me like you have a leak somewhere. If you have a tight seal and just keep pumping you would get to a point of feeling pain form the stress of the vacuum.

Samsung,
I think you are confusing the Phallosan device which is NOT a VED.

He was worried about the suction cup from the traction device having the same problem as the VED. It won't.

Samsung, thanks for the tip. You mentioned getting the correct sized sluices and diaphragm for the traction device. How do I make sure I get the correct one?

LWillisjr,
I guess you're right. But I've been trying my best to keep a good seal. The VED actually came with a silicone ring which I couldn't fit into. So, I resorted to using the mouth of the VED to create a seal instead. Could that be the problem?

Thank you.
