So I bought the VacuGlide 2 and a moderate amount of accessories. I think that, even though I’m older, my experience will apply to nearly every newbie, no matter their age. In the past, I bought the Keon and an Autoblow—various sleeves, etc. I was always just about there, but I hate noisy devices, and the Keon with the suction part was atrocious. The Autoblow was pretty loud, too, but I needed suction AND quiet… that much I knew. So I bought the VacuGlide2 and just played with it for a week, getting to know all the functions and sensations…no cumming. Right away, I knew there was a difference… playing around, I never felt anything like that except in real life, and only occasionally. But I’m kinda shy of machines, and though close, no cumming. Yet I knew it was just a matter of time…I could tell. I could have cum probably just continuing to play with it and relaxing, but I wanted to push the envelope. So I got some random porn vid from an old site I used to go to. This machine tweaks in incredible modes. I adjusted the stroke with the key to maximum. That way I can adjust the stroking so that it goes way down on my shaft and up to just the tip. This is what I prefer the best. I got into the porn, and OMG, it happened! Caught me off guard. I would have stroked it down further and maybe slowed to edge, but I was gone. I have all kinds of ideas now to try, and I’m waiting on the vertical-ribbed clear sleeves and the sleeves with horizontal ribs, but more pronounced and fewer. The big deal for me is that it really does work, and I abhor noisy machines… they’ve been holding me back in the past, along with the lack of real suction that wasn’t noisy. The machine only gets a little loud when you ask it to pump in frenzied rhythm. I don’t like that personally…slower is longer to cum and delicious when it happens. Man, have I got plans! Thank you, Brian and the whole Autoblow team! I was beginning to wonder if I was too shy for a machine. It was this morning I came, and the experience still blows me away. I want to tell the world, but I’m not, so I came here…lol. ---

Once you are through with some of your ideas, there is more you can do. Some people like to halve the hose to get more suction, I made mine 2/3 and 1/3 so I can use it on the couch and close up. If you still want some Ideas you can read [this](https://forum.autoblow.com/t/how-many-hours-do-you-keep-it-stroking/249)or just keep reading the forum. ---

I agree that cutting the hose in half improves it.I should probably even consider making the hose we ship with it shorter, but I at least want to give people the option. It’s much more responsive, and the vacuum is better when using the hose cut exactly in half. ---

I read the link to the forum discussion, thanks. I tried it for about an hour once, and it made me numb/thick in sensation, and I’m not talking about my penis… just how my body felt. That’s not something I’m going after. Not really the same as edging, which I will seek in the near future. The suction is pretty outstanding…not sure I want/need more. I will cut the hose, though, just to experiment. I can always couple it back together if I want. I wanna work with that penis pumping tube more. I feel like I’m not giving that enough of a chance. ---

I cut the hose in half and feel no difference. Maybe it’s a small difference; I dunno. I can always couple it back together. I keep trying that clear penis-pumping cylinder. It needs something like a liner. Is there anything in the Autoblow arsenal that would work? ---

Are you talking about the penis pumping cylinder that we sell with a special connector to connect it to VacuGlide? It’s just meant to provide a quick and low vacuum type of dynamic penis pumping. It’s not meant to work with a sleeve. ---

Yes, that’s the one. It gets me hard, but nothing more. Not sure why I bought that particular item. Thanks for the response!
