Long long story short, my girlfriend got me a Paasche Vision TGX airbrush 2 years ago for Christmas. The thing never worked right, but I figured it was my lack of experience. Eventually I secretly replaced it with a cheap Master airbrush. Today, the Master airbrush broke beyond repair (being cheap), so with my now more experienced hand, I brought the Paasche airbrush out. Well, it turns out it wasn't my lack of experience.
The brush sprays paint (or water or whatever), off to the side, and sometimes in fairly large droplets. I might as well put paint in my mouth and blow it out through my pursed lips. I have replaced the tip, with not 1, but 2 replacement tips. I have replaced the needle as well. I have spent a grand amount of time cleaning the thing out too, but the problem continues. I have tried adjusting the atomizer, which seems to have some effect, but does not solve the problem. The issue occurs with thick or thin material to varying degrees. Sometimes, the water just comes out of the end like a steady stream (not much of a spray at all). Grit or grime would be the most logical answer, but I think I may need the help of a real pro.
