With proper cleaning and care about how many sprays or how long do your nozzles last for your aztek 430 or 470 airbrush?

So far I've had mine about 10 years with no trouble.

Hmmmm, Dio must be doing it right.
Mine last 6-8 months. I keep them in a jar of paint thinner when I'm not using them.

I agree with Porkchop.. I had a problem when I first got my Aztek with cleaning the tips correctly.. Now I watch what I spray through the tips and I keep them in a bottle of alchohol when I am not using them.

I've had mine for 4/5 yrs I think. I thin my paint 30/50% and keep them stored in windex when not in use. I have two sets so that if one tip becomes clogged while I am painting, I can change it and continue on. Of course I clean it as soon as I am done spraying.
