Air-Valve Autobot!
last year when i got my badger velocity i could not believe how well the thing worked. but I had to constantly take it apart to clean out clogs and it seemed if it wasn't a clog it would get some thick paint clump in it or tip dry and would not work as well. Thain one day I accidentally left it out all night (I fell asleep) with some wicked black so i cleaned it out with one of those air brush cleaning brushes and it never seemed to work right again so recently I bought a new needle bearing and nozzle set and cleaned it thoroughly.Thain I carefully re assembled it. I used Teflon tape for the needle bearing screw and I think for the part that holds down the nozzle ass for the regulator i used prepared bees wax . when you use Teflon tape you have to be very careful not to over do it as you may alter the distance a part on your airbrush needs to seat itself and loose proper air flow over a nozzle. To make a long story short ever since i switched to etac my velocity is working better Thain ever i was messing around with it for a while and even loosened up on the needle spring tension it feels better Thain the day I bought it and i don't get tip dry at all. That's with the efx the private stock is a little more susceptible to tip dry........I cant believe I got susceptible right on the first go . oh ant the paint is transparent like the reduce air is also like a transparent base great stuf and since ken is always looking at my posts I have to add the velocity is my number two gun of course after my micron
