AMS 700 pump/cycling/reservoir questions

I have been cycling religiously for 2 weeks now. Max inflation in the morning left until I leave for work. Max inflation in the evening with the addition of a VED a la Clavell video.

At the outset, It takes about 20 pumps until the bulb feels maxed out. Then I meditate or read, and when I got at it again, I can get at least 20 more in. In between, the bulb is still stiff and won't budge much except for a few small squeezes. Then, later after that I can get in many, many more pumps....especially if I do them slowly. The bulb collapses and then expands back up. On these later ones, I don't see my penis getting larger. I do sometimes feel more of the stretch and maybe a little discomfort (the good time, like I'm stretching stuff)

But, it seems weird that in this later session I can get in SO many more before the bulb gets stiff again. I'm wondering how you know if you've depleted your reservoir? I think I read here that the bulb would just be collapsed and not fill anymore. Eventually, after 20-30, the bulb gets too hard to compress anymore.

Also wondering if after you've stretched yourself to the max after six months, if it takes less pumping to get it fully up?

I did dig through my urologist's portal and discovered I have a 65cc reservoir. He said he measured and "both sides" came to 22 cm, so the 18cm LGX + 4cm extenders.

Any thoughts about the above? My cycling seems to be working. Still sore, but less so, maybe gained 1/8" so only about 1/2" shorter than trimix pre-surgery. Damn, this is work!!!~

I have only just begun cycling. Some pumps are hard and some seem to start softer. I tried 25 pumps this morning, but with the hard bulb, I don't know if anything went in. At 25 pumps I can tell it got larger but not near hard or max. I will try to add more in a while. I haven't yet pumped enough to empty the reservoir so that the pump bulb stays collapsed.
I do have a LGX 18mm + 2mm rear tip, and my card shows I have a 65mL reservoir.
I may add more info when I can. I am only 14 days post op. Definitely hoping for more length than currently showing. :oops:

with LGX 18 + 4 you will surely reach 5.5", there are guys with LGX 18+3 that are even 6+": viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8524&p=164597#p164597

you must have a very deep crus for your impant

Dr. Kansas, as well as Dr. Clavell approve the use of a VED device when cycling. I waited until after about 4 days of cycling because a friend suggested we do it while watching a movie. :twisted: Clavell says, on an inflated implant, to vacuum to max for 15 seconds, then break, 10-15 times and hold the last one for 2-3 minutes. A user reported real gains when he held the max to 30 minutes. That's a feat. I'm building up 1/2 minute per day for that.

I purchased my first at the doctor's office for $250, but then bought another on Amazon for $30 which I consider better because it has an LED screen with timer and pressure gauge. I'm still trying out pads/collars for the base. Here's the link to the Amazon product:

Two weeks seems to be just the beginning of the journey. Due to swelling, I couldn't start until about the 12th week after surgery.

My VED is very similar. Haven't tried it yet post op. But now I will.
