Found this when I was googling for data for a post I just did in another thread. Turned out some of my data from memory I used in that post was slightly wrong. But not too far off.
Anyway, this should be of interest for some of you.

I am surprised we do not hear of tip extender failures. The thin walled hollow part has to be subject to stress. I would expect the wall to split over time. When tip extenders were more common, I read many comments that they were uncomfortable to sit on. For that reason I asked they be minimized.

I have 5.5 cm in RTEs. I can't tell they're there.
No 'wobble' when fully pumped and no problem deflating completely and no back fill.
Time will tell if this was beneficial or not.

Do you think RTEs have any effect on the angle of the erection?
Some men have errctions that stand closer to their abdomen than others. Some erections are perpendicular to the body and some are closer to the man's knees than his navel.

You may not be normal ddbryan, maybe special or exceptional. Everything is great which is a good thing.
My understanding is the wobble and flop are an issue that gets worse with time. I believe it was Eid who said he has replaced a number of implants because the wobble from the tip extenders became too excessive for the patient to deal with.

alibaba,
I pray that this isn't true in my case. If I have to get it fixed, I'll get it fixed. God willing, I will never be impotent again.
