Default pressure on e brake

can anybody tell me why im losing pressure on the e-brake even after tightening it? is it the brake booster.. remember its only the e-brake that is loosing pressure after a couple of days.. why is this is it because i didn't install the proportioning valve? i did the conversion on my eg with a 94 integra disc brake....my civic is non abs.. and i didn't use the abs lines.. well any help would be great thanks

Did you adjust the cable the RIGHT way, or did you just tighten the hell out of that nut under the console?
(the right way being: jack up the rear of the car, press the brake pedal several times, then turn the nut)
If you did it the wrong way, back the nut off, do it the right way, and go from there.
Worst case scenario - your cables are stretched

prop valve has nothing at all to do with the parking brake, btw
