Am I understanding this correctly?
Right.
You dont want it so tight that you have no expansion.
You can also pump so wisely that you get no edema while never packing the tube.
I have a too big one, for now, that I can still use without edema.
You can also solve the problem with condom or silicone sleeve pumping.(thread in the pumpers forum).
It seems that the moment you draw edema it gets more if you keep on pumping.
So most expansion is edema which is primarily in the skin tissue. And at this point pumping for PE makes no sense anymore. So you want to avoid it.
When packing the walls simply push the skin and the fluids in it “back”.
But of course there is then also a limit to the other tissue to expand. So theory is when you pack the tube it goes more into length as the vaccuum is then there. If you have a cylinder that you pack with your erect dick and then pump you can mostly only go up.
I think wise pumping timing and pressure handling is the way to go, as outlined by the TP vets in the pumping forum.
Having different cylinders is cool as you can have different modes of expansion.Like elliptical or tapered cylinders.
