Hello all,
I just purchased the iwata smart jet. I,ve been playing around with the pressure and I can not seem to get the pressure below 30 psi with out the "auto shut off " konking out. My airbrush is to run at a max of 29 psi. Thje only difference between the smat jet and the sprint jet is the auto shut off and the $$price.
Am I doing somthing wrong or should I send this thing back.

Do any of you use the smart jet? how do you like it?

Thanks
Rick

Rick,
I have a Smart Jet and I love it. I've been using it for about 4 years and have had no problems at all. The auto shut off only works (on mine at least) when you keep the pressure at or above 30 psi. If you are spraying with the pressure lower than that the compressor will keep running until you dial the pressure back up, or shut it off manually.

Regards,
Mike
