  The smaller the nozzle. The thinner the paint has to be. 1 to 1 with createx is nowhere near enough reduction. You need to reduce it around 8 (reducer) to 1(paint) minimum with these smaller nozzle sizes. I know it sounds like alot of reducer but its not. If you see how much trouble he is having controlling the airbrush. You cannot paint like that.. The iwata micron and eclipse's have a multi hole head design for better atomization, and for better control. All these other airbrushes do not. Needle size is not the only consideration. Paint reduction & correct air pressure are key. You can see when he reduced the paint more, how much more consistent and more controllable the gun was. My opinion. An iwata eclipse will give you 99% of the performance. And, believe it or not the larger nozzle needle will help make it easier. The H&S airbrushes are a well made airbrush but they are one hole head designs so there is no technology behind them and no air conversion within the gun. They are just like the old hp-c and others. So the pressure at the gun is what comes out the tip. Not that way with the microns. A much lower pressure comes out of the tip because the air is converted within the gun to provide the best atomization.

  Yep which is why I reduce my paint more. When using the micron on a painting I premix my colors 1:1 ratio. I put 5 drops of reducer in the paint cup then add 10 drops of the 1:1 mix. Sprays perfectly.

  I never even touched a Micron, but I own a Creos PS-771, and can't imagine anything performing any better. To bring up Creos, and follow up by talking about how much better a Micron is than a Master from China, is not really helping. Iwata and Creos are both made in Japan and are high end tools with awesome quality control policies.

  Well....I never once said anything bad about Creos airbrushs. I know Creos makes excellent products, based off of reviews from people who also own microns. And I also didn't compare the micron to a master airbrush, simply because there is no comparison.

  Looks like you're getting that infamous H&S hesitation At the tip. I believe the new Evolution has addressed that issue. The same issue shelved my Infinity for years, until Rob a the Dredd FX channel came up with a mod to fix it. The brush is now the detail machine I expected when I bought it.

  Not sure if this helps it's from Dru's ad on his site I copied and pasted ..... Thanks to the tighter tolerances of these new triggers, some users have experienced fitment issues in the newly manufactured airbrushes. This is because the cradle of the Takumi varies quite a bit in size due to the manufacturing process currently being used by Iwata. This is easily solved by grinding away a little bit of the ends of the trigger pin.

  I haven't run across many people who use the Iwata HP-B, most people opt for an Iwata Micron for detail work...although I gotta admit, the HP-B is a much less expensive option yet still quite capable for detail work--not in my hands, though. Some 15 or 20 years ago I owned a couple of HP-B airbrushes but found them very finicky to get a consistent spray with, much preferring either my HP-C+ or Micron C. then almost 10 years ago I got my first Olympos MP-200C Micron...immediately retired all my Iwata airbrushes and now only use Olympos guns, my best detail model being an SP-B w/ .18mm needle/nozzle--I just love that airbrush!

  I do have the Dru Blair takumi micron. I just like to switch it up, I also have the hp-c+ that I mainly use for t shirt work. I've heard about those Olympus airbrush's, and in reading conversations on airbrush forums etc. That they have the same head design as a micron, don't quote me on it, but if I'm not mistaken they share or have very similar parts etc.

  I don't think using isopropyl to clean the tip of your needle contributes anything to causing tip dry--I think isopropyl evaporates too fast to do anything. Besides, I've been doing the same and I don't seem to have any issues w/ excessive tip dry. I've recently started messing around w/ Createx Illustration opaque white--what a super detail paint! Once my left eye heals (had surgery for detached retina in May) and I can SEE out of it again...I need to REALLY work w/ this paint! Too bad Createx's Illustration line can't be used on leather jackets--my favorite surface to airbrush on. For leather I have E'tac and/or Aqua Flow opaque white. What brand/model of airbrush(es) do you use primarily? That could possibly be part of your tip dry issue...the finer the needle and tip combo, the more you have to reduce your paint--and also lower the psi to lessen tip dry. Another thing you could try...Aqua Flow has something called "Flow Improver" item No. 301. I have no idea what's in it, but I use it sparingly when I seem to be having issues w/ tip dry or smooth paint flow. E'tac has a similar product called Condition Air--the main ingredient of which is glycerine....I've used this since I started using E'tac paint maybe 16 or 17 years ago. I hope this helps. Btw, I'm thoroughly enjoying this series of videos on the skull textures and have subscribed. I've been airbrushing for 44+ years but there are ALWAYS new techniques to learn! Thank you Airbrush Artistry!

  Remember to always keep the airbrush moving. That will help with spidering. Spidering is the result of to much paint and the airpressure moves the "wet" paint. What needle size are you using? Keep it up don't get discouraged. What kind of paint are you using??

  When I've compared brushes I've found that the line test can be a great indicator of a good brush. It's true that how fine a line you can get doesn't matter but how easy and consistent it is to achieve those lines is a good comparison point. Testing my HP-B+, Sotar and H&S giraldez infinity, the iwata was just more consistent and sprayed finer. The sotar was close but the lines were inconsistent compared to the iwata.

  Thanks for the comment. Probably the most important consideration with this airbrush is proper paint reduction. I use createx illustration and wicked paint with this airbrush. Which is paint specifically made for airbrush, the pigments are finely ground. My ratio is approximately 70% reducer and 30% paint. And because of that my nozzle doesn't get clogged. And after every use I spray ammonia free glass cleaner through it to flush it out. I personally would not spray varnish through it.

  Have you tried the grafo T1 by harder and steenbeck or the sidefeed grafo t2 or the grafo t3 the glassbottle edition the t1 comes with 0.15mm. What I like about the Grafo series is that you don't have to push down the trigger for air then pull the trigger back for more paint that's what you call the dual action I think right but the way the grafo series works is that when you pull the trigger back both air and paint are released at the same consistency which I like it better then the dual action where you push the trigger down for air then pull the trigger back for paint and I don't think the grafo series is considered single action is where the air is pushed down by the trigger and you can control the needle by screwing it in or out for more or less paint. I just love the Grafo trigger style.

  With smaller needle and nozzle set ups paint reduction is key for proper paint flow. My paint mixtures are already reduced 50%. I will put 4-5 drops of reducer in my paint cup, then add the already reduced paint. Running 15 psi. I can get the same thin lines from my .4mm set up in my H&S evolution.
