Interesting discovery . . .

Although I bet I'm not the first one to have tried it.

I have a Vacurect and just out of curiosity last night I tried it with no ring and no lube. After a few pumps it sealed just fine. I broke the seal simply by pushing on my skin next to the opening.

If you just want to get some blood into the old boy and exercise him a bit -- without making a mess -- this seems to work pretty good! :mrgreen:

I do not use a medical VED and rarely use Constriction rings inside the tube. However, when I do not use lube, I find that my shaft skin tends to chafe against the cylinder walls or perhaps you have a large diameter cylinder.If you stay in the cylinder under vacuum for any extended period of time the increased engorgement will make it very difficult to allow air to seep past the skin to allow the vacuum to be released and, accordingly, your penis. Been there and done that. Had to force a well lubricated tooth brush handle between skin and cylinder wall.

I use coco butter as lube which is not messey and is absorbed into the skin after a few minutes. It also helps keep your penis skin smooth and supple.

Who makes VED's without a release valve/button? I guess Vacuret -- just looked at the picture and no button or valve.
That is just plain dumb design.
I am pretty sure medical grade pumps are required to have a release mechanism right? FDA approval and all that?

The Vacurect works very well. It doesn't need a valve (a valve is just one more thing to break), all you do is just break the seal between the pump and the ring with your finger. It was $200.

As I found out, the only difference between some "prescription" pumps and other pumps is the price. My uro set me up to get a prescription "approved" pump, don't remember the brand, and it was $500. I said the hell with that, looked around online and saw the identical $500 one that the uro suggested I buy, and another one with a slightly different package -- same brand pump, and appeared the same in the picture as the "approved" one -- for like $180.

I emailed the company and they responded, saying that there really was no difference between the two pumps, but the $500 price was for insurance, and the $180 one was sold to people like me who actually pay their own way through life.

And people wonder why health price inflation is 15% or more per year?
