As someone new to cycling the titan (7 day post op), appreciate any tips.
-I'm having trouble telling which side of the deflate piece i'm squeezing. If I squeeze the side of the deflate piece, instead of squeezing the side with the button, does deflation still occur?
-Trouble knowing if I've inflated to the max. Will the pump still be squeezable if I've fully inflated?

PeaceofPain07,
On the Titan, just above the "bulb", there is a slight raised portion on one side and flat on the other. Firmly grip between your thumb and fore finger and squeeze. It DOES take practice...and patients, 'cause it will slip out of your grip. Take time to feel and explore the whole mechanism.
The more you squeeze the bulb to inflate and press the release to deflate the easier and softer it becomes. Again, patients.
Did you get a fake Titan pump from you doctor? If not ask for it.
As for inflation, to inflate to the max, keep squeezing and when you can't squeeze any more, use both hands. (thumb on top of thumb and finger on finger)
PM me any time with questions,

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
Thank you for the guidance.
If I squeeze the wrong side of the deflate button, will it still deflate?
Once fully inflated, is the pump still squeezable, or it’ll resist being squeezed?
I know these may be newbie questions and I’ll figure things out eventually. But I’m stuck in a place right now where my scrotum is irritated from pressing it so much and so hard. If I cut back, good news is skin would have more time heal, but bad news to cutting back is doctor told me early cycling is important for length. Answers to these questions will help minimize irritation.

I’m in the same boat. Scrotum looks pretty decent until I start pumping and then everything swells and deflating is difficult. Also looking for tips / pointers

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
I don't think there is a max pressure at which the titan will stop pumping. The max pressure will vary from person to person and is a function of how hard you can squeeze it rather than an inherent limit to the product.
Don't worry if your scrotum is swollen. That's normal for the first few weeks to months. That will take care of itself over time. That being said, listen to your body and take it easy. Don't try to go faster than your body is able to handle.

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
The inflate process is going to be the same regardless of which of the Titan pumps you have. The deflate process will be different, though. You might get more applicable information if you can tell us whether you got the Titan pump (AKA the genesis pump), the Titan Touch or the Titan One Touch.

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
Same issue. Flip your grip around 90 degrees and keep trying.
18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
I know it took me some time to get the feel of deflating, you need to figure out the tactile differences of the pump to make sure you are squeezing the correct ends. I know the model the office gave me helped alot. If you have the correct ends one side will be a dimple and the other side a pimple. The pimple side is the actual valve you need to push on. The INCORRECT sides have ridges in them.
When you are fully inflated you won't be able to squeeze the pump, because it is full of fluid and there is no place for the fluid to go. If you wait a couple minutes you will probably be able to get a couple more squeezes' in. This is how you maximize your size. Then again after a couple minutes try again, until you can no longer pump.
I originally had to hold the deflate valve while squeezing my penis to deflate it. But as I use the pump more the valve does work better. I have found that a good pair of compression shorts can come in handy when deflating. Press the valve and pull up the compression shorts to help drain your cylinders. Don/t forget that when you are done deflating to give the pump one squeeze to reset the valve

Re: titan inflating/deflating tips
Thank you all. Based on looks and a pamphlet I received, I believe I have the titan touch.
From early experimentation, I think I’m seeing that the pump can be squeezed indefinitely. But after a rock hard erection is achieved, the pump takes more strength to squeeze at this point, and it may not be increasing the erection anymore once its rock hard. Sound about right based on your experience?
