Casubaris Cordless Portable Airbrush Kit with Compressor - Rechargeable Dual Action Airbrush Pen for Barbers, Model Painting, Nail Art & Makeup | Perfect for DIY Crafts, Tattoo Practice & Home Beauty Use

The Airbrush kit arrived undamaged and on time.I currently have the older model, and this is the newer updated version ( see photos).UNBOXING:-The kit came packed in a sturdy black box with Casubaris printing on the lid.(see photo) Airbrush kit was neatly packed and section inside the box. (see photo)- Contained in the box were...the air compressor, airbrush gun (0.3mm needle), two rechargeable batteries, a usb-type-C charging cable, standard air hose, cleaning brushes, nozzle removal tool, small pipette, users guide and a dear customer tip card.(see photo)- The user guide and tip card were informative. There were some minor English grammar errors, but the instructions were still very easy to understand.-At first glance TM-90 airbrush(red) is taller than the older model.(see photo)-The older model weight was 180.7g and the TM-90 was 235.7g with battery and 172.5g without.- The weight of the units with the airbrushes attached were...the older model weight was 286.3g and the TM-90 was 352.0g (see photo with brushes attached)The airbrush has a good weight and solid feel.Set-up:1. I 1st disassembled the TM-90 airbrush and checked the needle. (sometimes these needles may have imperfections, or grease or other matter on the needle.)2. I wiped the needle then performed a quick run through the ultrasonic cleaner. ( just my personal preference). After cleaning I ran my finger across the needle it was nice and smooth.3. I Lubricated and reassembled the airbrush.4. The batteries came with a 50% charge. The battery percentage illuminates on the side of the battery.NOTE: I cannot accurately state the battery life as all my test were done intermittently and I am currently still using the first battery and it shows 50% charge status.5. Overall set-up was as easy as attaching the airbrush or airbrush and hose to the compressor, was very easy.TESTING THE UNIT1. I attached the airbrush directly to the compressor then added a pipette full of water to the airbrush cup. Press the button on the compressor to turn the unit on then pressed the trigger on the airbrush. I prefer the ON/OFF feature of the older model where you just attach the airbrush to the compressor and the unit is ready to be used by pressing the airbrush trigger.2. The water sprayed uniformly with no drips or splatter and good airbrush atomization.3. I then attached the hose to the airbrush and the compressor and ran the same water test again. Unit still had good airbrush atomization, and only the slightest drop in pressure. 4. I do like the hose feature as using these kinds of compressors with the airbrush directly attached, does become heavy and awkward after a longer painting session.5. There was no overheating during my painting sessions. The unit does/did get a little warm during use as normal.6. With that test done it was time to try some paint. The key is to be sure you have thinned your paint properly. I only use acrylic paint for my models, which are thinned with water or alcohol. If you are not sure of the ratios for thinning paint there is a section on thinning paint included in the user guide.6. The paint flowed smoothly while using the TM-90, I have no real complaints.(this test was done with and without the hose attached)7. I tried several paints and the paint flowed consistently each time. The last test I used three different colors on one small kit, and the results were great for my needs.(see photo)8. The unit worked fine with no "major" issues, I think it will do well for my needs and clean up was quick and easy...well as quick as quick can be for an airbrush.Minor issues and suggestions for future airbrush kits.1. The unit was a bit louder than the older model; I personally would prefer if it were little quieter by 1-2 decibels2. The batteries had trouble clicking into place sometimes(could just be the unit I received)3. I prefer NOT needing to turn the unit on and off and prefer the older model which only turned on when you pressed the trigger on the airbrush.4. No belt clip or harness to place the compressor when using the hose. I believe some kind of belt clip or harness would make things more convenient.Possible features/updates for future models1. A belt/waist clip or harness add-on option to hold the compressor when using the air hose. I have seen other company models that do include this feature.2. Would like to see an upgraded unit that has more pressure and a way to raise or lower the pressure depending on ones needs and/or whether the hose is being used or not.3. A similar feature to the older model where the unit doesn't need a button and only turns on when the airbrush trigger is pressed.4. Some kind of battery clip-tray or door to insure battery is inserted correctly and stays in place.Overall this is a nice airbrush kit and definitely a 5 star quality product I would definitely use. I am excited to get much use from this airbrush kit. The noted minor issues would not stop me from using, recommending and enjoying this airbrush kit. Will update if there are any issues or other problems with this kit.
