Modifying VED A-Cylinder

[thegreycat]

Me again, sorry. Just putting something to the hive-mind before I action it.

As per some of my previous posts, I feel the reason VED isn't very effective on me is that the problem areas are not getting the kind of stretch they could be.

This is because:

• A) The A-Cylinder is a touch too small at it tapers toward the top, therefore my glans trap an air-bubble around my problem area. This air bubble encompasses the dent on my left hand side, as well as an area over the top too. The air has nowhere to escape and therefore the problem area does not get subjected to a stretch.
• B) The B-Cylinder is a touch too large, therefore the effect of the negative pressure is exerted over a much larger area. This lower, more spread-out negative pressure does not have enough of an effect to subject my problem area to much of a stretch.

So, my modification idea is as follows:

I intend to make mark on the A-Cylinder where, at full pressure, the air bubble gets trapped. Then, using a heated pin, poke very small holes, into the cylinder at this area.

What I'm hoping this will mean, is that as I reach full length in the cylinder, there will be somewhere for air to escape, out of these tiny holes. This means that the problem area will be free to full expand into the cylinder, applying an actual targetted stretch to it.

The holes will be small enough that they will not pull any skin through as I increase the negative pressure.

Just wondering if anyone else has made any modifications like this at all?

UPDATE: Just went ahead and did it.

And... my problem area immediately filled the gap where the bubble was, and didn't even feel like it was stretching when doing it! I have never, ever filled the A-Cylinder completely until now.

So. Frustratingly, this means that the first ~5 months of VED where I exclusively used the A-Cylinder were completely useless and doing nothing, as my problem area wasn't even getting the benefit of the vaccum. However now that I can actually put my problem area under some kind of expansion in the A-Cylinder, I will continue to do so.

BUT! This also makes me wonder if the same thing is happening in the B-Cylinder... My glans are quite big, and they create a seal almost immediately in that chamber too that ultimately stops air from getting past. So, I will do the same in the B-Cylinder (after I've ordered some spares) and report back.

Interesting stuff.

I will report back.

I am have trouble with the soma erect. I can fill the a cylinder but my penis never fills the entire void. Then I switch to the b cylinder and my penis only fills at the base I can never get it to fill up completely I have no idea how this thing gives men a boner that can penetrate a vagina. The erection it gives you is completely soft.

Also the fact the soma doesn't have a pressure gauge is really concerning. I have no idea how much negative pressure is in the tube.

Do you turtle after using the soma? Every time I use it my penis turtles for at least 2 days after use. I bought a sili sleave to try to stop the turtling.

So the B-Cylinder always has room for the air to escape, so I won't be modifying that. It just means that frustratingly, there's not enough pressure concentrated on my problem area in the B-Cylinder.

I have however come to a pretty startling realisation, that the first 5 or so months of VED that I used the A-Cylinder almost exclusively, I was trapping and then compressing an air bubble right over my problem area. This means I was effectively applying PRESSURE TO the plaque, rather than against it.

So just an update.

Doing a little physics research on compressed air etc, I decided to go ahead and purchase (and then modify) a new B Cylinder, and so far I am feeling tenatively happy with the results.

By drilling small 1mm holes (6 to be exact, 3 either side of the cylinder bump) in the B Cylinder just underneath the area where my glans are once they are fully engorged, the vaccum is having less of an "upward" or "lengthening" effect and a little more of an "expansive" or "widening" effect.

I can feel this in three ways. First, the overall feeling of pressure on the top of my glans is reduced. Second, the feeling of a stretch where my problem area is located is much higher than before, and third, once I have reached my maximum length, I can see bubbles of air/lube escaping through the holes I've drilled.

Now when pumping, my problem area is still dented, however the general girth of that area is gradually getting visually wider than it's ever been in the pump, so I can only hope the VED is having a positive effect on that area.

I suspect that I won't know if these changes are going to translate into the real world for weeks or even months to come yet (It's only been a couple of weeks so far), but given that I am now able to apply lateral vaccum specifically to my problem area is something to be said.

My glans basically fills out the tube, as does the bottom two thirds of my penis, leaving pretty much only the problem area remaining in the tube, and therefore concentrating the lateral/expansive effects of the vaccum on it.

In effect, I'm now able to create a longitudinal and lateral stretch at the same time, which I'm hoping will be beneficial.

Frustratingly, before any of this, I begun what has now appeared to be a new active phase on the other side of my penis, which went from an ache, to a lump, to erectile pain to what now feels like a dent beginning. I am hoping that continued use of the VED will at least limit the effects this time around. Ironically if my body ends up Nebit-ing itself due to this then at least I only have to concentrate on filling out those dents.

Unfortunately I've taken a few steps back recently in terms of my mental health, so I'm trying to keep myself away from this forum until I'm in more of an objective state of mind to traverse it without spiraling, but I just wanted to come and update with my progress.

I'll check back in a few weeks with another update.

The battle continues.
