Just wondering for folks with balls, how do you pump them up?

I always use saliva on my fingers 1st before inserting into the hole.

The ball always print Moisten Needle near the hole, i always though Moisten Needle is just a name for the needle. Never though that it's a verb to moisture it. I wonder why they don't print Moistened Needle instead. Coz if you write Moisten Needle should follow "before insert needle". If they write moistened needle then we know the hole is for moistened needle.

If you don't moisture the needle before you insert to the ball hole, you risk damaging the valve, and the balls will leak, or get damaged.

This explains why my balls keep shrinking after 2 weeks. Now i sprayed some Silicone spray on the needle before insert, hope the silicone can seal off any damage i've done previously by forcefully inserting it dry.
