Best PE purchase I’ve ever made!
I’ve been doing PE for over 7 years but only learned about the CTC DP4000 a few months ago. I am both happy and bummed out. Bummed out because I could have been using this great little pump for the past 7 years instead of going through four Bathmates. The Bathmate is essentially an uncontrolled pump, especially when compared to the DP4000. My Bathmate experience was not good. I had blotchy discoloration of my shaft on most occasions. I also found myself sidelined with blood blisters. Not a pleasant experience. Because I had achieved some nice girth and length gains through my PE manual work and a lot of clamping, I kept wanting to pump to finally get to my goal of six inches of girth along my entire shaft. Bathmate was not the answer.
After purchasing my fourth Bathmate a few months ago, I discovered a few posts on PEGym about the CTC DP4000. I began doing more research at Matters of Size and Thunder’s Place. The more I read about the DP4000, the more interested I became. Because I still had some questions, I decided to call CTC and found myself on the phone with Chris. He answered all my questions patiently. It was obvious he knew a great deal about pumping and the DP4000. I was sold and placed an order. I am so happy I did!
My DP4000 arrived within a few days and I began getting conditioned to a new way of pumping. I was amazed. Using the DP4000 felt great and was easy and fun. I was using the preloaded program only, but I was able to pump for 15 or 20 minutes with no issues. I had no bruising, no blisters, and no other problems. I was just having fun. People talked about the noise of the DP4000. It does intermittently hum along, but when wrapped in a soft blanket, it’s quiet enough for me to do this without my wife knowing I’m pumping in the next room. That was important for me. I also travel and this little pump will be traveling right along with me.
I’ve been pumping with my DP4000 for over six weeks. In the beginning I was limited to the preloaded program. I was so impressed and happy with this pump that I figured out how to get Windows loaded on my Mac so I could come up with my own programs. I’m reasonably bright, but really illiterate when it comes to Windows. Fortunately, I shared that with Chris at CTC. He told me to call him when I had time and he would walk me through setting this up. He helped my understand my way around my new Windows parallel program and taught me how to program the DP4000. I was amazed at his kindness and patience doing that. I kept messing up and we would have to start over again. He never lost his patience with me. He’d kind of laugh and we’d keep on working through it. I am sure he spent well over an hour doing that with me. Now I’m a pro…well almost.
The safety of the DP4000 is what I find very compelling. I have worked my way into longer sessions, alway making sure things feel and look good through my cylinder. I got into heavy clamping over the years and have done countless continuous clamps lasting more than an hour at a time. Nevertheless, pumping is different so I have slowly used the past weeks to get myself conditioned to the DP4000.
As of this morning, I am doing sessions lasting an hour and a half. Today I was packing my smaller cylinder and switched to my larger cylinder for the last 20 minutes. It’s fun to do this, but what is truly amazing is what I’m taking out of my cylinder at the end of my session. I always finish uniformly thick and heavy with none of the issues I experienced in the past with other pumps such as blisters, discoloration or blotchy areas…and no fluid buildup so far.
In summary, I am extremely happy with my DP4000. I have received no perks or compensation from Chris or anyone else. I’m posting this simply because of how happy I am with this purchase. I am sure that within six months, or sooner, I will be posting some significant gains from my consistent and safe use of this outstanding PE device!
Thank you CTC and thank you Chris.
