Experience with PEP Device

Hello - Does anyone use a PEP device? I was just prescribed one by my respirologist but she did not advise me of the resistance level. I started with the lowest and worked my way to the highest but I don't find that it makes a big difference in chest clearance. I seem to have better results with my active cycle of breathing technique. Just curious about other people's experiences with PEPs. Thanks.

I use a Flutter device. It doesn’t have settings. I think that the active cycle of breathing does give better results but it takes much longer and often isn’t convenient.
