otr malfunction

Postby 382485996 » Sun Aug 10, 2014 7:05 pm

I am 8 weeks out from implant and for the past two weeks occasionaly when I go to pump up it doesn't do any thing. After about 7 or so pumps I will hear a squish and then things will work, Anybody have any idea what might be going on?

first squeeze needs to be quick .you will feel bulb collapse. then squeeze slowly and firm ,it takes a while for bulb to get broke in just keep at it ,you will get better

This has always been the case for me if I just deflate it and leave it. But it always works eventually. BUT, when I'm done deflating, I give it just one short pump. This does two things. First, after that first pump up, I can start pumping again anytime, even days later, and it starts right away. It solves the problem you are describing. Second, some guys feel they get some autoinflation. I have never had that problem, but that first pump locks some valve that would prevent any possibility of autoinflation.

Oh, what I describe is for the Titan OTR. Don't know about other makes and models.
