If you want to run crappier or more fragile paint, instead of increasing the regulator pressure, increase your dwell time setting. This will have the effect of increasing your velocity with less air pressure, which means it will be a little easier on brittle paint. Higher dwell means lower regulator pressure, lower dwell means higher regulator pressure. You can play around with this ratio to see if it helps at all. The factory settings will be set to most reliable out of the box settings. Since it's a new gun I wouldn't go with a lower dwell setting until it's well broken in, but higher is rarely an issue. The only down side is it will be less efficient with higher dwell in most cases. A small price to pay if it prevents ball breaks in my mind.
Other things you can do are run a larger bore barrel. Raise the eye detection time if possible in the settings. Keep your paint as warm as possible. If you're running a rotor make sure the stack pressure isn't too high. Keep your ROF at a reasonable level.
