Dude posted video in bottom of other gsi thread- Iwata parts interchangable with gsi- just like olympos it is same darn thing- .18 cmc+ I'm sold getting one soon!!
Amen to that!!!Buy cheap buy twice is my code for life
Hopefully works out for you!
Totally AGREEBuy cheap buy twice is my code for life

Why you will put iwata head if yours are so cool and good? Or didn't you said that "I have cmsb- side by side atomization identical"?Why would I buy twice when I can put Iwata head right on that sucker- ya know?
Probably my biggest artist downfall would be I never glorify my own artistic work Wether it be the tattoos I've done over past 10 years or airbrush- threw away 4 large canvases last year my father in law found them in trash dug them them out couldn't believe I would do that- inside I know a million people better than me.Can we see your work with them? I would love to see something other than lines with that brushes!!!

Exactly what I was thinking
I don't mean to be rude but this statement causes me to refuse to believe that you've done anything at all and a few of your threads which I found pointless and redundant since the subjects were covered in other threads tends to strengthen that feeling, what's the point of creating art of any kind if it isn't allowed to be viewed.
Not so long ago I took a pop at some model maker geezer on YouTube after he made a video shouting about how good his Olympos Micron was, he even stated that it was better than any of his Iwatas, this made me curious so I visited his website where he had a full page write up about how good Iwatas were in the same video all he does his caress his new Olympos, turning it around over and over showing all sides of it all the while exclaiming how pretty it was, in his own words "I haven't used it yet, but boy does it look good", WTF, how could he possibly know it was better than Iwata without a test run to compare? I would have to be seriously demented to purchase one on the basis of this guys video, I'm a seeing is believing type of guy, so if I don't see video evidence of the brush being used, I am not going to believe it is any good let alone the best.
If you look at my avatar, that is pencil drawing done by my own hand, I posted that a while back and fooled a few into thinking it was an airbrushed painting, I did this as a friendly joke which a few of our mods were in on, but that is how easy it can be to hoodwink folks, and until I see a masterpiece created using only an Olympos, any model at all, I don't mind, I refuse to believe anything about them, I too hide some of my work, but when I do I usually do so because I know myself it's crap, my advice to anyone at all who seriously wants to sell something, especially when it claims to better than something else, got to back that up, show me, no show no sale.
Not so long ago, we were promised a couple of video reviews of the Olympos brushes, but since that was over three months ago I can conclude that the experience was so bad that rather than trash the vendor, just forget and hope no one notices, so as yet, I'm not seeing anything at all remotely positive about these amazing tools
This was one of the first pieces I did with my Olympos mp-200c. For the price I think they're great. As has been well documented the majority of the users have had issues with the needles. I either reshape to shorten the original needle or replace with cheap generic needles.
It's funny how some people state that the response on these is better than an Iwata Micron. For me the response is slower. I've done a lot of comparison testing recently in that area. In fairness, the Olympos has the l3 head while the Iwata has the s3. Ill swap that later to see if that makes a difference.
So for me here's the rundown:
Olympos with replacement needle is a great brush. I have $165 in my Olympos. The Iwata Micron has better response and just a tad more fine detail. But it is a .18 vs .23. I have $430 in my Iwata.
Again others may have a different experience.
