        Once I've got it, I'll do a review & you can see if that helps you decide.


        The main thing that was annoying me was the inconsistency when using a cheap one.


        When they work, they're great, but it's very frustrating when they don't! Mostly I think that's down to the build quality not being as good - especially in the nozzle area.
        oh I done it again Patrick I,m so so so sorry hun,ops:


        but your right it will work fine for about 5mins if that,and then ,it dose not air will come out,but no paint,


        so i thin it more adjust the needle and hope that it dose work,its just seam that the paint is to thick or some think,


        so move the needle in and out try all types of things,

          Hehe don't worry Moni, I'm sure we're both good-looking hunks! :P


          I think the main problem with cheaper Chinese airbrushes is shown in the diagram


          [ATTACH]115135.IPB[/ATTACH]



          The nozzle becomes mid-aligned in the nozzle cap opening. This causes problems like you're having. I've found sometimes the paint won't flow with the trigger lightly pulled back - so naturally I ease it back further & further ...and a big sploge of paint comes out, ruining what I'm doing!


          The H & S won't have that problem due to it's nozzle design ... I hope!

            oh lov I,m sure you both are,


            I would say that is the,the whole problem,as its not made of harden steel the needle,and the nozzle being brass it wears so letting it set of center ,making the blockage


            and not letting the paint pass,so by moving the needle back you let the paint through,


            but as you said in a big droplet,


            I have seen replacement needles and nozzle for them,but wounder if they will screw in ?,

              The Iwata neo used to have this problem, which is why it's initial release was not very well recieved.

                H&S and the Iwata Eclipse have self centring drop in nozzles, which are meant to "self centre". This works on my infinity and Iwata Eclipse, but I found, after a detailed examination, that my Iwata Hi Line was more spot on. However, all of those airbrushes, are great, and you will find no problems with them.
