I own a Microm CM-C Plus and its amazing. Also just recieved the Micron Takumi and have ordered Blairs trigger and soft spring as well, along with a 2 ml cup and lid. Good to see Im not the only one wondering why they put that 7 ml cup on the Takumi.
There really is no rhyme or reason for it. The only thing I can think of is that they have seen people use microns on larger projects, and thought they would want a larger cup. But if that's the case why not offer that as a separate piece. Makes no sense to me whatsoever. Anyway, you will love the trigger and spring.
Congrats on getting this airbrush, Douglas. I've been looking at it for about a week. Do you plan to upload a spray test video, because I'd love to see it. Also, Blair currently has a discount code which ends today (December 31st). Do you know if that renews next year, as I may have to wait til February to grab one. Anyway, subbed, great video, and hope to see more of your new Takumi!
Yes I'm doing a comparison spray test between the Takumi and the. 15mm Evolution. I'm not sure about the discount code. My next project, a Goblin portrait will be done with the Takumi
@@hartmansairbrushartistry apparently it does. i wonder why if the Blar trigger and soft spring makes such an improvement, why doesnt Iwata use a shorter trigger and softer spring ?... but then again...why did they put an expresso cup on the side of the gun, only they know that...
Hello, please tell me how you clean the 0.18 nozzle? It’s also a very interesting point where people say that not every paint and varnish will suit this airbrush, is that true? Do you think water-based acrylic and varnish from Vallejo will be ok for this airbrush?
Thanks for the comment. Probably the most important consideration with this airbrush is proper paint reduction. I use createx illustration and wicked paint with this airbrush. Which is paint specifically made for airbrush, the pigments are finely ground. My ratio is approximately 70% reducer and 30% paint. And because of that my nozzle doesn't get clogged. And after every use I spray ammonia free glass cleaner through it to flush it out. I personally would not spray varnish through it.
@@hartmansairbrushartistry Thank you very much for the precise, detailed answer to the question. It's nice to get an answer from an expert in his field. You are absolutely right about the varnish, there are more budget models for this, I will definitely listen to your advice and take them into service. Thank you very much🤌👍👍
This helped a lot. I didn't know you can put H&S cups on the side feed adapter. This is awesome! Thank you!
Glad I could help!

@@hartmansairbrushartistry It is strange. Lol. You're right about that.
Which 2ml cup did you order ?
@@ShorrockPaul H & S , cups screw right on.
Your Takumi setup is nearly identical to mine. I also have the Dru Blair trigger. I do not have the spring though. I wonder if I really needed it.
awesome brush
It really is unbelievable.
They have smaller takumi side cups as well.
Yep, it's a 3ml. If I'm not mistaken. But I already had the 2ml. From my H&S that works perfectly.
Congrats on the airbrush. I was curious if youve taken a class at his school?
No I have not......but would love to.

Did it come with the original trigger and spring or does it have the low trigger and soft spring only?
They send the original parts with it.
@@hartmansairbrushartistry thank you for the quick response to my question. I just placed my order. I’m excited!
You're going to love it. The way it atomizes paint is just magical!!!!
does the older -custom-micron-sb-airbrush side cup fit on the Takumi a well ? (the non gravity feed one)
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure if it does or not.

@ShorrockPaul I know, it makes no sense. Hmmmm we have a great detail airbrush lets slap on a humungo cup....🤔🤔🤔
