How far could you pump before running out of fluid? How did the leak end up in the tubing? Did you puncture it on something sharp?
To be honest I can’t recall. I’m guessing it was over 30 pumps…. but I would not run out of fluid. I would just become fully inflated. But keep in mind the number of pumps it takes to inflate the cylinders would very much depend on how hard you pump (compress the pump bulb).
The important thing was prior to the issue I could pump to the absolute maximum, as in rock hard and in almost excruciating pain (something I now thing is not necessary to do) and not run out of fluid.
When it suddenly happened (when cycling) I then started counting. At first I think it was 25 pumps and over the coming weeks it went down to around 13 pumps.
I am always a little concerned when I hear others saying that they run out of fluid when pumping to the max. I would have thought that should not happen. Presumption being that the reservoir should ideally have more fluid capacity than what the cylinders capacity is. But then again I don’t know. Different IPP’s may be different. I just hope those guys don’t have a slow leak somewhere. (If you run out at the same number of pumps each and every time I suspect that you don’t have a leak - fingers crossed)
Funny you ask about accidentally pricking myself. No chance. The Rigicon rep asked the same question. Keep in mind the leak came from one of the tubes. I would have to be an absolute marksman using a pin to get a direct hit. No chance.
I’m into a lot of things but trying to inflict pain by piercing my genitalia is not one of them. But each to their own. I would suggest that it would be far easier to put a pin in your dick and aim for a cylinder- far bigger target!
On a more serious note I think you would have to be extremely unlucky to somehow accidentally pierce either the cylinder, tube or indeed the reservoir. But then again, people occasionally get hit by a bolt of lightning.
