Epic Pump vs Encore
I have tested over 30 pumps in the past 5 years. Encore is the cheap clinical kit your urologist hands you. Here is exactly how the two differ, checked line by line against the published specs.

- Does the job, with a catch
- Weak point
Two very different machines
One is a sealed electric unit with a screen on top. The other is a clear tube with two heads you swap over and work by hand.

What makes Epic Pro so superior
Every control on it exists to fix one of the four reasons men quit pumping: guesswork, effort, discomfort, and never running the same session twice.
- A motor with a brain. Press start and it builds, holds and releases to a number you chose.
- Water or air, same device. Water spreads the pressure evenly. Air is near-silent, with no cleanup.
- Press start and walk away. 10 auto-cycling modes ramp, hold, release and repeat on their own.
- You always know the number. Live pressure readout and a built-in timer, right on the head.
- It holds what you set. If the seal leaks, auto-hold puts the pressure straight back.

One of a kind
No other pump on the market has such features. Works with water + pressure readout + programmable via app!!

Epic set-up
The Pump + Cylinder setup is honestly one of the most well thought out systems I’ve used. From the start, you can tell it’s designed with intention and not just another generic pump. The digital display allows you to clearly track pressure in real time, and the control feels smooth and precise rather than jumpy or inconsistent, which makes a big difference during sessions.

As a person who hadn’t used pumps before this
As a person who hadn’t used pumps before this, I was amazed at just how large it made me on the first pump. The pump has easy instructions and the AI mode does all the work for you.
Where it actually matters
Six rounds. Same test for both pumps. Here is the card.
Epic Pump
5–1
Encore
Round 1Knowing your pressure
Wins the round
The live number sits on the screen in inHG or cmHG, so you hold a safe target and hit the same one tomorrow.
Loses
There is no readout of any kind. You work the head and judge the vacuum by feel, which makes a repeatable routine impossible.
Round 2Running an actual routine
Wins the round
A timer on the screen, 10 automatic modes that ramp, hold and release, auto-hold when the seal leaks, and an app that saves the session.
Loses
No timer, no modes, no app. You work the head, you count the minutes, and nothing carries over to the next session.
Round 3Water sessions
Wins the round
Air or water from the same device. Water spreads the pressure evenly, and air lets you skip the shower entirely.
Loses
Air only. There is no water mode.
Round 4Getting the fit right
Wins the round
7 diameters from 1.5 to 2.87 inches in 2 lengths, and we size it for you at checkout.
Loses
One tapered tube, 8 inches long, 2.125 inches at the pump end down to 1.875 at the ring end. An oversized cylinder is a separate purchase.
Round 5Hands free
Wins the round
Clip the neck strap and the pump holds itself while a mode runs. Your hands are free for the whole session.
Loses
You hold the tube and work the head, start to finish. Put it down and the session stops.
Round 6Price
Loses
A Starter Kit is $349. You are paying for the motor, the screen, the app and the water mode.
Wins the round
About $125. They are a third of our price, and that is a real advantage we are not going to argue away.
Final card 5 – 1Epic Pump takes the five that decide it
Results are permanent and real
Up to a full inch of girth is absolutely possible, and the verified buyers below got there. What they report is size that stayed, not the hour of swelling after a session. Erection quality is the change most men notice first, harder and fuller within weeks, and plenty add length on top of it.

Straight answers
Is Epic Pump better than Encore?
On what the device does, yes, and it is not close. Epic shows your exact pressure, times the session, runs 10 automatic modes, holds the pressure when the seal leaks, saves the routine in an app, works in water as well as air, and hangs off a neck strap. An Encore is a clear tube with two heads you swap over and work by hand, with nothing on it that measures or records anything. Where Encore win, and win big, is price.
Encore is much cheaper. Why pay more?
The Deluxe is about $125 and an Epic Pump Starter Kit is $349. That is the biggest price gap of any pump we compare against and we are not going to talk it down. What the extra buys is a motor instead of your hand, a live pressure readout, a timer, 10 automatic modes, auto-hold, an app, water mode, a cylinder sized to you, and a 180-day money back guarantee. If none of that matters to you, buy the Encore.
Does the Encore have a pressure gauge?
No. The kit is a cylinder, two pump heads, seven tension rings, a ring ejector, a loading cone, a body shield, lubricant, a DVD and a case. There is no gauge, readout or timer anywhere in it, so the vacuum is whatever you judged by feel.
What size is the Encore cylinder?
One tapered tube, 8 inches long, 2.125 inches inside diameter at the pump end narrowing to 1.875 inches at the ring end. An oversized cylinder is sold separately. Epic comes in 7 diameters from 1.5 to 2.87 inches and 2 lengths, and we size yours at checkout.
Do I need a prescription to buy one?
It depends where you buy. Some medical suppliers list the Encore Deluxe as prescription-only and will ask for a prescription or a professional licence before they ship. Epic Pump ships direct with no prescription and discreet packaging on every order.
How much pressure is safe?
Stay under 5 inHG of negative pressure, keep sessions to 15 to 20 minutes, and run 2 to 3 sessions a week. Release the pressure straight away if you feel pain, numbness or a colour change. That is far easier to follow when the number is on a screen than when there is no readout at all.
Does a pump add girth permanently?
Pumping gives you a clear temporary size increase right after a session, and harder erections within a few weeks of consistent use. Permanent girth retention is modest and takes months of regular sessions. Anyone promising big permanent gains fast is selling you something.
What if it does not work for me?
Epic comes with a 180-day money back guarantee, and if the pump arrives damaged or develops a fault we replace it free. Encore is covered by a two-year warranty on the cylinder, ring ejector, loading cone and pump mechanism, with tension rings excluded as wear items.
