discussion Airbrush help

[Bortig the Viking]

Hi, thought I'd carry this thread to it's own slot, having asked and got answers to having a moisture trap, I wondered if it also makes any difference as to the length of hose, I have two one is 3m and the other 1.8m. I'm trying to ask the questions before I fit it all together, I hate problems.
As regards the moisture trap any make better than another again I have two, bit like Noah, one is Sparmax the other seems to be a generic one. My apologies if I'm going over old stuff and waffling I'm told i do a lot of that by my partner in crime, the wife.

I use a 3 metre hose bought from John ( via amazon frontend before i knew about this forum/shop )

I also use a 3 metre hose, mine is just a plastic hose from the local diy store, works perfectly ; )

Thanks fo the replies, So I'm guessing theres no difference then

In theory, a longer hose will restrict the flow of air, but the tiny amount of air needed by our airbrushes won't be affected. A shorter hose might be easier to handle though - I use my airbrush standing up, and keep treading on the hose!
