Gauge or no gauge

[bobsk8]

I got a Encore VED two weeks ago and it works great. The one thing that bothered me is that it has no gauge, which is similar to just about every medical grade VED that I have seen on line. I decided to order a LeLuv unit with a gauge, just to compare the two as far as what the different pressures feel like. I used -5hg as the max pressure on the gauge. I was surprised to find that it this seemed to feel like more pressure than I was feeling on the Encore unit, so apparently I was well in the safe zone with the Encore unit just using how it felt as a guide line for when to stop pumping.
