Origin 8 seatpost

I have an Origin 8 propulsion airlight 1 seatpost. It doesn't seem to work properly there is no shock relief at all. I let the air out and pumped it to 200# still doesn't work. Does anyone know anything about this type seatpost? thanks

+1 with the bottom of the post on the floor, supporting yourself with your feet, sit on the seat and try and make it compress. if it doesn't compress,
let a little air out. if it bottoms out, put air in. adjust pressure to get the action you want. ride it on the bike. fine tune
pressure.
