Airbrush not working

I would be careful using those type of brushes, it can be easy to score the inside of the brush with metal parts.

Is there a better option? I use these because they are in all of the air brush cleaning kits.

Last thing I want to do is damage my brush... I've used the brushes for a while now with no issues. I use them only when doing a thorough cleaning though.

I read that the packing washer is possibly vulnerable to scoring and could allow a paint leak into the body of the brush. I had never thought of that so I'm much more careful about shoving any brushes through that area.
 
You mentioned your using body paints, have you cleaned your airbrush with isopropyl alcohol I believe vinegar will make "gum" which could have "plugged" up the nozzle your needle will go through the nozzle but chances are your nozzle has the paint stuck in it soak it in isopropyl . Try taking the corner of a paper towel dip it in the alcohol and then twist it tight and then stick it in the nozzle using a twisting motion after soaking this should help you remove any built up paint.

If your trying water than the body paints even the "endura" or the water based inks in my experience do not mix well

an air leak could also cause problems with spraying
