Evening everyone. I had the chance to experiment with my airbrush for the first time. Interesting expereince to say the least. I am using a Badger 180-1 with a Paasche H single action action airbrush. I bought a regulator and moisture trap and I assembled it without harming myself in the process.
What I am noticing is that I seem to not get any air flowing when set to below 30psi. Once it is over, it flows great and I can paint. Has anyone expereinced this or is this another user error moment? Thank you in advance.
No air under 30psi

D'oh! :)
Disregard please, I pulled a boneheaded move. i forgot to reread the manual for the airbrush which states that the Paasche H paints acrylics at 30psi. I wil now go sit in the corner.
