Some have told me to pump until the pump bulb is rock hard and too rigid and resistance to more squeezing.
Others here have stated they pump until the bulb goes flat and stays flat.
Seems to me both could be right. One case is the reservoir goes empty, the other case the tubes get full.
At what point do you know you pumped your Titan to full capacity?

56, Mild ED started 20 years ago, Pills very effective for first 12 years. Then High Blood Pressure made ED much worse. Pills inconsistent now. Dont like needles.

Re: At what point do you know you pumped your Titan to full capacity?
Rock hard just means you are not strong enough to squeeze more. You aren't done until the bulb flattens. And even then you are only out of fluid, not necessarily full capacity.
I suppose this sounds like a contradiction... hypothetically, you are never done until the implant explodes. The point is there is no exact point where it's "full". All of these implants expand relative to their internal pressure and it's just a law of diminishing returns that dictates we stop adding fluid (and of course our strength limitation).
Regardless, in a perfect world i.e. in a simulation, you could just keep cycling and adding fluid or upsizing implants until you reached whatever size you wanted. There is no exact maximum size.

Re: At what point do you know you pumped your Titan to full capacity?
Well said Edjohn. I ran out of fluid around one year of cycling twice daily. At this point I was max for my current set up. Many surgeons are putting in xtra fluid so this don’t happen. Max should be when you can no longer press the pump anymore because it’s hard as a rock. Early on this can be followed up by Perito exercises and then gradually add a little pump or two as things stretch out. At some point either you reach the max size of the implanted cylinders or the limit of your tunica. And as edjohn said even these can be gradually stretched but takes a LOT of time and work.
60yo.ED started mid 40s pills failed after 10 years. Injections works w diminishing results.

There really isn't a maximum inflation point, but rather a maximum point of fluid transfer from the reservoir to the penile cylinders. I believe inflation should be based on what feels comfortable for you; a maximum inflation isn't necessary every time you want to use your implant, such as during masturbation or oral sex. As mentioned in the previous comments, the firmness of the pump is a pretty reliable indicator of whether or not you are close to that hypothetical maximum.

these are unrelated points... if you mean maximum hardness then the bulb is your indicator. If you mean maximum fluid transfer, then the bulb hardness means nothing. eventually it just stays flat but there is nothing to indicate whether you are close to that happening or not.
The reason Clavell warns young guys not to pump like a power-lifter... if you cycle too aggressively too often, the penis will eventually completely adapt to that volume and "maximum" actually becomes more relaxed... softer. In order to maintain that steel hardness, it is better to cycle regularly but moderately in duration and strength. Keeping the penis from completely adapting retains a slight "oversized" status which is what enables the titan to produce super-human hardness.

Kaboom, it depends on what you mean by “full capacity.”
Most implanted guys use that term to mean their penis is inflated to its maximum possible size, with that maximum determined by their anatomy. In that situation, the pump bulb will typically become very hard—almost like a rock—because the cylinders are fully expanded.
A flat bulb can also represent “full capacity,” but for a different reason. In that case, the limiting factor isn’t your anatomy—it’s the amount of fluid in the system. The reservoir has simply run out of fluid to transfer.
Running out of fluid is generally not a good thing. It usually means there wasn’t enough fluid placed in the system during surgery. If that happens, you either need a revision procedure to add more fluid, or you accept that you may be leaving some potential size on the table.
Over time, cycling can often help maximize length and girth, but that’s only possible if there is enough fluid available to fully expand the cylinders. If the system runs out of fluid first, you may never reach the maximum size your anatomy could have achieved.

This just reminded me... if you've run out of fluid and you want to remedy this even if only for the sake of pursuing one's potential, what do you do?
Considering insurance and justifications for surgery... there is no way that limited erection size would justify an insurance claim, so what would you do? Cycle as aggressively as possible until something fails? Or is there a chance a surgeon would be able to analyze your situation and present it in a way that reads "medically necessary" to the insurance overlords?
I am drifting slightly into tongue-in-cheek territory. I doubt most of us would elect to have surgery just to try and get a slightly larger dick...
