    Iwata revolution for me as well, easy to clean and only needs a quick rinse through with water between colours.

      You know, I suppose not. I was thinking it might be nice to have the option and hadn't considered the practicalities of putting a relatively course medium through it. 0.2 would be fine for ink I guess, but maybe not for acrylics.

      If I rule out the 0.2mm nozzle, then the clear winner is the Iwata.

      Thanks everyone for your valued input!

        I have the H & S Infinity CR Plus 2 in 1, which came with the 0,2 nozzle fitted. I haven't needed to swap it for the 0,4 yet.

The nozzle is quite large and is self centering so is easy to handle. Needle is easily removed from the back. Full strip and clean takes about ten minutes. You can also change colours by removing the side cup and fitting another. It is extremely well made with no easily lost tiny o rings. Personally I can’t think of any down sides.
            Is this the model you are using. Looking for a decent airbrush ?
