OP
Perhaps consider a sink tuning check:
Hold the pressurized reg with the purge cap vertical (that'll put the case at about a 45° angle with the mouthpiece up). The reg should give a tiny hiss before the sink surface touches the lower necklace ring and a full fledged blast should start before the water reaches the side of the mouthpiece. Those are 1.1-1.6" from the center of the diaphragm, and equal your "cracking effort". That's not really the right term, since the servo valve opens earlier, but it'll do.
If it doesn't hiss until above the top green line, you're reg need retuning.
