Hey, I'm relatively new to kegging, and bought like a tank regulator combo a few months back. It was from a beer specialist shop, so the regulator goes from 0-6 bar or approx 0-90 psi, so it's easy to control.
I wanted another tank+reg for purging and topping up my pressure fermentor etc, so this time i bought a tank with a regulator from what would be similar to ebay here in Poland.
anyway, this damn thing goes from 0-215 bar, and up to 4500 PSI. How am I meant to use this thing? it's like 0 PSI..next marking is 500 PSI. I just wanted to check if im misunderstanding something here or if I just get another regulator right away? If i move the pressure dial by 1 millimeter i expect i just added 50 psi of pressure or something. Or am I a *******?

EDIT: please delete post, I am indeed a *******.
