Just broke out the new iwata last night and had a blast with it[:D] on the other hand my badger is now pulsating and I do not know why[xx(] Any sugg. would be great
Thad
What model Badger is it? The 200 series has a TEflon washer between the head and body. When this washer gets flattened so that it doesn’t seal properly you’ll start to get that pulsation. The instructions say to loosen the head if the airbrush is to be stored for a while, but they don’t emphasize that fact.
I’ll give it a look musicCity thanks
Thad
Maybe your Badger is just scared of your new Iwata coming to take its place ! 
The badger was showing his teeth when I broke out Iwata.

my badger and omni collect dust since the arrival of the hp-cs and hp-c.[;)] later.
Don’t let MikeV see this thread [:)]
My badger 100 will ph34r my peak c5
That’s alright.
Buy what you like, but remember that an Iwata is not going to make you a better painter. [;)] [:D]
I have an Iwata HP-CS and it sits in the box while the Badger’s and Thayer & Chandler’s get used. [:p]
Huh? [%-)]
Speak ENGLISH! 
Mike
I bought an Iwata HP-CR a few months ago & am learning to love it. But still use my Paasche H 90% of the time.
Hey MikeV ph34r means fear
Mike, you weren’t foolin’ anybody by purchasing the iwata bubba!!!
[:o)][:D] that was just a publicity stunt to say yeah, i tried one, no biggy!!
but, like we say, to all his (or her) own. later.[;)]
Sorry Chris, it was no publicity stunt brother. I like it but it is nothing special to me really.
All of the airbrushes out there are just tools to get a certain job done and while the Iwatas are very nice they are just fancy, chromed Snap-On tools. [:p]
But as you said it’s each to his own. [;)]
Mike
while my aztek lays in ruins
[tup][;)]
BTW, what is a snap-on tool? is that some inside joke or something?[%-)]
ps. the chome finish on an iwata has nothing whatsoever to do with my fondness of the tool.[:D]
Tell me that you’re kidding about not having heard of snap-on tools. They’re just a high end tool maker basically. Like Mac or or or, ummmm, Craftsman or whatnot. They’re good, but any good tool is good for that matter.
How’s the house business coming along Chris? I’m supposed to close on my new one either Friday or Monday, depending on when all the paperwork gets finished and everything comes together.
Does anyone have a brand new refrigerator and washer/dryer combo they want to give me for free?
I have an old one I’ll sell you for a brand new price. Does that count?
i’m blessed josh. its doing well my friend.
honestly, i’ve never heard of snap-on tools!!! i can build most anything someone can come up with as far as residential dwellings go, but put a wrench in my hand and i’m a total spastic!![V][V] throw some engine questions my way and my brain becomes pudding. i don’t have the first inkling about vehicles. all i want to know is how to put the key in the ignition and when i turn it, hopefully it cranks and the gas needle is registering some gas.LOL. maintenance lights pop on and i’m in a panic!! later.
Snap on tools are almost as famous as the Rigid Tool line. Used to love there calanders.
Rigid Tool has just too much potential for innuendo to be allowed to operate!!!
Chris,
Here is their web site.

They are really big with race enthusiasts and such for their tools.
Heavy equipment Master Mechanics such as my Dad was and my younger brother is now, both preferred Mac or Proto for their line of work.
