whats the next "best" airbrush other than the aztek 4709, i'm fed up with this whole nozzle thing, i went out and bought new nozzles, tried to spray water through it and the damn thing still doesnt work. is there a good airbrush out there where i dont have to constantly mess with stupid nozzles?

Stupid question, but are you sure it's not broken?

Seems kinda weird that it won't spray water. If you had said paint, then I would have said that you need to thin it more, but water's about the thinnest liquid you can pass through an airbrush

It's a matter of preference...

I've been using a 200 and 150 from Badger for a while now and they're great little brushes

Then again, I picked up a knock-off of a Badger 350 for roughly $10.00 that also sprays nicely

Yeah I would say that there is something wrong within the airbrush body itself....I have the 4709...and as long as you keep it clean....I have no problems at all spraying any kind of paint.

I am pretty sure that I read in my owners manual that the Aztek has a lifetime warranty ( I would have to dig it out). Just get ahold of the service center at 815-962-7401

or, send a question at this link:
