Just found a cracked nozzle in my spares tray, and no it wasn't caused through paint or bad workmanship. Just me being stupid and over zealous with the cleaning. It was my first real brush and wanting to be diligent on the cleaning I used a generic nozzle cleaner to clean out the inside. What a mistake to make. I didn't realise my mistake until many hours later when in frustration of not getting anything out of the brush I eventually checked the nozzle under a magnifying glass and to my horror found the reason. So it cost me more money and a wait for a new nozzle to arrive.View attachment 60939
When I first got my Evolution, I too was over zealous with cleaning and 2 weeks later I notice that the coating in the cup was already failing... First I though it was lousy quality by H&S... then I realize I was the one scraping the coating away because I was using a flat brush to clean the cup vigorously. (Luckily it is not something I need to replace immediately and it does not affect the functionality of the airbrush)
The important thing is that we do not repeat the same mistakes. If we damage our airbrushes in the future, it should be by a new mistake
