stiction /stuck valve /pump dimples

[subhash]

hi, At times I am able to inflate at the first shot (that is I hear the 'pop' sound) but there are times when the bulb goes flat. Then it takes between 15 minutes-5 hours of repeated attempts to hear the 'pop' sound.

Please can you all share what needs to be done so that the first attempt is always a success?? let us create a group of such people so we can share our tips and tricks.

please do share . What I generally do is press the inflate and deflate at the same time, but there must be some other options as this does not always work either

hey sub
same equipment here, from day one ,,, these pumps are made durable the little valve in there can be indecisive. still happens to me way after the break in period. one trick is to press the deflation button squeeze your dick, and then try for the pop sound, sometimes you may have to do this a few times.
some mornings mine doesn't pop at all but it still actually pumps normally. ( i have a dog ear on left tube that bugs me so I add 3 pumps for my day) hope this helps brother
