Glitchy Titan valve gives me morning wood

Postby CigareVolant » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:03 pm

My Titan "One Touch" valve has always been a bit finicky. Like, I have to hold it the whole time I am deflating, so it really isn't "one touch" at all.

After a couple of years, though, it has started to work occasionally if I press at just the right angle and deflate a bit before I take the pressure off. Maybe this is because everything is loosening up? It also seemed to improve after I did that "reset" thing where you press-and-hold for deflate mode and then squeeze the pump. I had never done that before, but when I noticed the "one touch" working sometimes, I thought maybe that reset trick would improve things.

Anyway, I've noticed that the lock-out valve in the reservoir doesn't seem to work, so I get back flow that partially inflates my cock if I don't do that "squeeze once" trick after deflation. This isn't a problem, because I know how to stop it, but I realized that I kind of like it. I mean, I go to sleep fully deflated, but then I wake up with morning wood. That's kind of cool! Or I head out for a date fully deflated and my cock partially fills, within the constraints of my pants, while I'm on the date.

Technically, these are probably all bugs with the Titan valves, but I've been enjoying the way it "works".

What have other people noticed?

CV,
I always have to give the pump a good squeeze after fully deflating. If I don't, the tubes will "autofill". Doc said that is normal. And, there are no valves in the reservoir, all in the pump.
Also, I too hold the release button while deflating.

Please explain the "extra pump"
Titan OTR implanted on 1/26/24. PE and Anxiety of varied degrees since age 19. Varicocele issues past 30 years. Type 2 Diabetic since 2013, pills didnt work, minimal reaction to shots, some VL, still had morning/overnight wood, but moderate quality.

Please explain the "extra pump"


Common advice to avoid auto-inflation is to fully deflate and then give one solid pump afterwards. Apparently this flips the valve into pump-mode which prevents fluid from flowing directly from reservoir into the implant.

Here's my understanding of how it works. When you press the deflate button it sets the valve so that fluid can flow directly from implant to reservoir. That allows you to squeeze all fluid out of the implant, but it can also allow fluid to flow back into the implant. There is apparently a back-flow valve in the reservoir that is supposed to stop this, but it often doesn't work that well. Pumping once shifts you from deflate-mode to inflate-mode. Now the fluid goes from reservoir into the pump ball, so it can no longer flow into the implant. It only goes into the implant when you actually pump.

That's the long explanation of the "extra pump" after you deflate.

I've also got a Titan "One Touch" which doesn't fully deflate with "One Touch."

I hold the button for a count of 10 and then release it.

My Titan will also "backfill" after deflation also re-inflate to a level of stasis between the reservoir and the cylinders, which does not cause me any concern because it makes an excellent "show-er" when not in use. ;)

My Titan does not re-inflate to any thing near erect, so I do not get any "morning wood" as you apparently do but I remember those days pre-op when that use to happen (when I had morning sex w/my ex-GF) fondly. 8-)

To be clear, it doesn't auto-inflation to a full erection, but it definitely goes from fully deflated to "thick and meaty."

It might be amusing to try sex with it, but I haven't. Without the extra pump to lock the valve, the pressure of sex might well deflate it. Then I could re-experience my pre-implant sexual performance. :lol:

Hmm. Now I'm wondering whether the right blow job technique could vacuum suck more liquid in?

So many experiments, so little time.
