Deflating Titan classic

[Straightshooter]

Unlike many other questions posted on this site, I’m not asking about pumping and inflating, but rather deflating. I’m only three weeks out and have been cycling somewhat successfully, but it seems that I never really get fully deflated. I’m thinking I’m doing something wrong as while. I am definitely getting it deflated somewhat I don’t know how to get it all the way down. Does anybody have any suggestions or perhaps am I expecting too much such that it never truly gets fully deflated?

I squeeze the two deflate tabs using my thumb and index finger, and start squeezing the cylinders with the other hand when the cylinders have started to soften a bit. It’s like gently squeezing the shaft like a tube of toothpaste, trying to empty it into the body!

You know you’re totally deflated when your cylinders start to feel like a flattened garden hose.
