This was just lately spoken about. I even recall DLD saying about the Vacu-vin having a notch of more strength.
I'm in possession of both and personally I feel that the range of power is on par. Of course modding your
Bathmate is seriously less expensive way to roll. But in what you save in money, you lose in comfort, in my opinion.
The hand ball, like I said in the other thread, is so fluid in usage. Just feels so much more effortless, which for me produces better sessions as it's more relaxing and enjoyable.
The Vacu-vin is good, it is strong, but my own body ranks the pressure from the hand ball pump and Vacu-vin to the same range, give or take a little for Vacu-vin.
I was blessed enough to be in a position where I was able to get the Extreme model and I do like using it. From time to time I switch to the Vacu-vin, just to keep things "fresh" in a way.
So, if you have a
BM and haven't modded it yet with Vacu-vin, go for the Vacu-vin. If you don't have the unit at all, the Extreme model is really much less hassle compared to Vacu-vin.
It isn't rocket science to set up the Vacu-vin mod, not at all. Just my personal viewpoint on the Extreme being easier to use.
