I switched from using canned air to a small compressor for cleaning PCs

I know everyone says canned air is safer, but after my third can froze up in a row last winter, I bought a cheap 2-gallon compressor with a moisture trap. It has way more power for clearing dust from heatsinks and costs nothing to refill. Has anyone else made this switch and found a good low-PSI nozzle for it?

What PSI do you actually run it at for safe cleaning?

Just make sure you're not using the full compressor pressure directly.

Good point from @andrew_palmer99, that's an easy way to wreck something. Been there, done that, got the broken part to prove it.
