With the H & S airbrushes the nozzle comes off when you remove the air cap.Besides the Aztek, with ordinary dual action airbrushes, how do you insert the needle from the front unless you remove the sharp tip of the nozzle?

I think my T&C’s are probably a lot older than your Aztek Allen, but I live in hope!Max, I thought I couldn't get anything for mine either, but last year I picked up a new tip (the tan one) and a large cup for it. It appears Aztek parts are still available and fit one another too. I'm afraid to try any high tech hissy stick thing myself...
Thanks PeterMax, they still have a website: http://www.thayerandchandlerairbrush.com/
Well thanks for that Tony! If you haven’t guessed already it’s a Chinese cheapo I’ve bought!This is going to upset the apple cart max but i always take the needle out from the back and put it back in the same way , the only time i take off the nozzle is if the brush isnt spraying properly , to clean it . And all the airbrushes i use regularly are chinese cheapos !! Cheers tony
Try emailing them - you never know!Thanks Peter
Yeah I hear they were taken over by Badger a while back, and I suspect spares for my old beasties (which are unlike any they’re selling today) are well out of stock.
Hi all, I have an Iwatta and always remove and replace the needle from the back. I have bought a quick release modification for it that is designed to allow exactly that approach. Anything else would just seem weird
By the way, I also have an Aztec, which I used for a few years. I found it needed a lot of air to function correctly, and struggled for fine lines. I liked the settings wheel on the barrel though, allows good control of line width so making consistency a little easier. By the way, using Allen’s picture as a reference, the white bit is the nozzle, the metal bit is the needle, and the coloured bit is the body, so the technology is exactly the same.....

Hi Richard.I see... the Aztek is a single action airbrush with the paint control is situated at the back and not the front as conventional single action airbrushes.
Hi Peter, which model do you have as there are some H&S with screw tips and some with floating tips? I believe the ones with the floating tips just come off when you remove the nozzle assembly.
John, you too which model are you having?
Cheers,

Infinity. The bit that unscrews is the air cap, the nozzle is not fixed but is retained by the air cap.I see... the Aztek is a single action airbrush with the paint control is situated at the back and not the front as conventional single action airbrushes.

Hi Richard.
Ultra, the nozzle unscrews, then I remove the inner tip. Also have the Infinity model ( beautiful control ) which has the same tip system.
