Alexvs Also @DavecUK @Cuprajake I know you’ve both used the profiling kit on the Minima so sure this will be an easy answer, for normal use do I leave the paddle fully open to the right or about 4 o’clock? Watched your video Dave and you state a medium flow but just wondering what would simulate a standard set up. After I get my Niche dialed in, I’ll start playing with profiles so just want a standard to work with for now.
You can open it fully if you want, you won’t get any more flow than the minima can currently give. How old is your minima, and if you open the top lid and take a photo, I can tell you how easy the pressure is to adjust.
When adjusting pressure the expansion valve will limit the max pressure…but using a flow control system, you may want to have that pressure a little higher than 9 bar, in case you want to do a 10 bar+ declining pressure shot. This gives you more flexibility. Or you might want to set a hard limit at 9 bar.
Always remember adjusting the paddle only adjusts flow…..so against a puck that is very fine/choking, you may see an initially low pressure that inexorably climbs to the max pressure, no matter how low the flow…until you shot off the flow completely.
Do not forget to watch my videos on how to maintain/lubricate the flow control system
