Milk, receivers and a coffee can (part 3)

One of the cool things about vacuum based milkers is that they can suck in their own lube and if set up correctly never run dry. So in theory one could leave a sub on the milker for days 😈 (Well, please don’t in reality, there may be other things causing issues).

Lube

As I had mentioned in part 2 already, there’s a third hose for the lube supply going to the receiver. I’m using a transparent 3mm hose.

 

A transparent silicone hose with a white plastic clamp to restrict the flow in the tube.On the receiver-side I added a clamp to shut off and regulate the flow of lube and a simple hose connector. I’m planning to upgrade to a PMC connector though.

a transparent PE bottle with a black screwed on cap. The cap has a hole where the 3mm silicone tube is fed through.

On the “machine”-side, I’m using a cheap PE bottle and a custom printed cap. The vacuum in the receiver sucks in the lube from the bottle. You need to restrict the lube flow carefully using the clamp. Otherwise you will run out of lube in just a minute.

Before playing I prepare a mix of roughly a quarter table spoon J-Lube powder and 500ml water in the bottle. Use a mixture to your own liking or any other kind of lube, but make sure it is fluid enough to be sucked in through the hose. If I want to be fancy, I add a drop of food coloring, so it’s easier to see how much lube is left and how much has already collected in the coffee can.

This concludes the description of the basic milker. More extensions will follow though.

This is how it looks when in use 😈
