He seems GREAT - and said we will keep talking
That's certainly good to hear.

With any pressure setting below 7, I feel like I am not getting enough air. Others report this feeling also. But sure, try 6 next. A lot of this is trial and error to see what works for you as an individual.

Do you know what the max pressure is set to?

I believe max pressure is 15. I'm set at 5-15.
