I think the drips per minute way of setting the flow a bit of a faff. This is especially true with the dual feed. I start with a low setting, maybe level 2 on the adjuster ring and work from there. If the chain looks dry after a run I turn the flow up slightly and if it is over oiling (ie oil is getting onto the face of the rear tyre) I turn it down. This is a continual process as flow rate is dependant on ambient temperature. I have found that two drops per minute is too much and have given up trying to count the drips.
