Frequently Asked
Questions
Real answers based on user experience, vascular principles, and feedback from hundreds of VascuVive customers.
Short answer: no, you don't have to.
Some guys like taking a warm shower or doing a quick hand massage to get blood moving, but it's optional. Many people go straight into AM1 cold without any issues.
What matters more is:
- Controlled directional movement
- Comfort
- Sticking to a routine
If warming up feels good, do it. If not, you aren't missing anything essential.
Not necessarily.
The original protocol includes alternating speeds, specific durations, and set structures. If you enjoy that level of structure, follow it — it works. But the truth is, many users see great results with simplified sessions:
- One continuous session of 10–20 minutes
- Or breaking the method into shorter blocks
What actually drives progress is:
- Consistency
- Moderate, controlled pressure
- Directional flow along the corpus spongiosum and glans
There's no benefit to treating this like a workout where intensity = growth. This is vascular training — gentle precision is more effective than force.
Good news: moderate coffee isn't a problem.
Caffeine is mildly vasodilating for many people, meaning it can increase blood flow slightly. The exception is if you consume too much — high caffeine can increase stress hormones and might make erections less stable temporarily.
If coffee makes you feel good and present, keep it. If it makes you jittery, try doing your session before drinking it.
Yes — and it's a good sign.
Many people report:
- Swelling
- Warmth
- Fullness
- Enhanced sensations
That means you're actually moving blood through the bulbo-dorsal circuit. Some users even find the sensation pleasurable enough that it shortens their sessions. That's also normal — you'll get better at pacing with practice.
Engorgement alone isn't a "result," but it's an indicator that the method is being performed correctly.
This is extremely common.
The Angion Method tends to produce erection-quality improvements first, followed by size-related changes later (if size is your goal).
Stage 1 — Improved Blood Flow (Weeks 1–6)
- Better morning erections
- Stronger nighttime erections
- Easier arousal
- Fuller flaccid hang
These improvements come from better vessel responsiveness, not tissue remodeling yet.
Stage 2 — Vascular Remodeling (Weeks 6–16)
Angiogenesis (growth of new capillaries) takes time. Real structural changes appear later than EQ changes.
Many users report:
- Measurable girth gains around 8–12 weeks
- Further increases around 12–20 weeks
- Length gains later, if at all
Vascular adaptation isn't instant. Your body needs repetitive, consistent stimulation to build new pathways.
If you're seeing stronger erections already, that's a strong signal that you're on the right track — growth typically follows.
Every person is different, but these timelines are typical across users:
- EQ improvements: days to weeks
- Girth changes: 6–12 weeks
- Length changes: 12+ weeks
- Plateaus: normal and temporary
The biggest mistake people make is expecting daily or weekly changes. The right way to track progress is monthly, not daily.
Signs you're progressing:
- Your flaccid size looks fuller
- You hang heavier after sessions
- Erections feel stronger and more immediate
- Post-session plumpness lasts longer
If these show up, growth usually follows.
Start with our 1-day on, 2-day rest cycle:
- Weeks 1-4: 3-5 minutes per session
- Weeks 5-12: 5-8 minutes per session
- Weeks 13+: 8-12 minutes per session
This allows optimal vascular adaptation. Consistency matters more than intensity — don't try to rush it.

Both work well — it depends on your preference:
Hand Crank:
- More control over speed
- Quieter operation
- Good for beginners
Drill-Powered:
- Less fatigue during longer sessions
- More consistent speed
- Recommended: Use a corded drill without an electric brake (like the Makita 6408K)
Avoid cordless drills with electric brakes — the sudden stop can stress the wheel.
Key differences:
- No lead time: We ship within 1-2 days. Competitors quote 8-9 weeks.
- Lighter design: Reduces fatigue during longer sessions
- Optimized shape: Better blood flow through the corpus spongiosum
- Self-centering notch: Keeps alignment easy and accurate
Based on our estimated gains table, waiting 8 weeks for a competitor's wheel means 3-6mm of missed progress.
When used correctly, the method is safe. Key guidelines:
- Always lie on your back — don't use while sitting or standing
- Use adequate lubrication — water-based works well
- Start slowly — let your body adapt
- Rest days are essential — follow the 1-on, 2-off schedule
- Stop if you feel pain — discomfort is different from pain
If you have existing medical conditions, consult a healthcare provider first.
Based on user reports and vascular adaptation principles:
| Timeframe | Girth | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 months | 0.1" - 0.25" | 0.1" - 0.2" |
| 3-6 months | 0.25" - 0.5" | 0.2" - 0.5" |
| 6-12 months | 0.5" - 1" | 0.5" - 1" |
Girth gains typically come before length gains, as increased vascular capacity allows the erectile chambers to hold more blood.
Results vary based on age, current vascular health, consistency, and lifestyle factors.
