I want to try using a pump for an erection,

You want to sustain an erection for a period of time outside of the vacuum cylinder?

You will need restriction rings for that. The encore pump comes with a CD that explains how to use fairly well.
I have an Encore pump with both manual and electric pump.

When I got mine I just pumped and released for 10-15 minutes a night for weeks. When I started using the rings I would pump up add a ring and take a shower with the sustained erection. This went on for weeks and at first it was somewhat disconcerting to see my purple hued dick and to feel how cold it was with the ring on. After steady use over time the coldness has all but disappeared.

You may decide after some experimenting to look into some different rings. You may decide to use 2 rings instead. There are good threads on this site about various restriction rings. I have found the following foam sleeve to help ease some of the discomfort caused by the restriction rings. http://uandmetime.com/products/store/#e ... ct=4958534

My experience is that using a pump takes time and patience.

On average, how many times do you have to pump (manual) to get results?

The Erecaid is a good choice. Depending on the severity of your ED, the included constriction bands mY not be tight enough to maintIn your erection. If they don’t work well, I recommend getting an Osbon Constriction band.

" will pump and release 3 to 4 times before I get pumped up to my desired size and firmness before pulling the constriction band down off the tube onto my dick during that final pump. This occurs over maybe 5 minutes or so. "

I think that answers my question. It takes more than a few pumps to get results?

I got L.A pumps
I like it. The only thing you could break is the hand pump.
Some say it is the one at harbor freight. Either way you can replace it get a better pump online or auto parts store. The cylinder is breakable. I stepped on it. My fault. I cracked it badly. I put glue.
Holding okay for now. Pretty strong. Not that cheap. Some are more expensive. This does not require you but more parts. That why I bought it.
Best of luck.

WOW! I have long been an advocate of VEDs for penile health (elasticity, size, etc) and found a couple of Medical Journal articles on my own, but THIS article and the articles to which it links so so much more complete than the random resources I found.

Thanks for posting the link.

To all who are curious about what VED therapy can do for you at any stage of ED, read this AND read all the articles at the links it contains. Well worth it.

Thanks, AnotherOldMan for finding this.

It should be in the "Must Read" list. (edited to add - It IS already on the list. I just checked the thread in "General Discussion / Documents Worth Reading List" .)
