I have heard other brothers on the forum with Titans say they go up to 50 pumps -- way more than me. So my question: is there any added gain to keep on trying to pump, like up to 50, if you only able to pump it slightly?
Will appreciate any responses, thank you.
Question must be related to cylinder size.
For a Titan, the diameter of each cylinder is 18mm.
The non-inflatable part is about 5 cm, so in my case, with 24 cm cylinders, I have 19 cm inflatable length.
Ignoring the cone shape at the end and keeping things as simple as possible, each cylinder would then be able to hold:
3.14*0.9*0.9*19=48 ml.
Two cylinders make the capacity 96 ml.
I have learned from Eid that in theory, in a lab setting, the Titan pump can deliver very close to 2.5 ml with a full compression.
That probably doesn't happen in real life, but let’s still assume we can squeeze every molecule out of the pump on each press.
That would give us 96/2.5=39 pumps. Full wall-to-wall pumps.
For other sizes:
16 cm: 22 pumps
20 cm: 31 pumps
24 cm: 39 pumps
28 cm: 47 pumps
For AMS, numbers should be less due to the thinner sized cylinders. About 80% of the volume and probably pumps as well. Maybe even less since some say the AMS pump is larger and hence transfers more fluid on each pump.
Numbers above match pretty well with my implant. It is 24 cm, should theoretically take 39 full pumps. I don’t have the power to do 39 full wall to wall pumps. I get to around 30, then subsequently smaller pumps till nothing happens.
These days I don’t even inflate by using full wall-to-wall pumps anymore. I think it’s a slower way to do it than just do partials already from the beginning. I just feel that the pump’s recovery time increases unproportionally more than the transfer volume. So I do 60-80 faster more shallow pumps instead.
I suppose that it puts less stress on the material as well. Pushing anything to its limits is normally a good way to eventually break it…
