I've been looking to get into airbrushing my kits for a while now. This seems like a good place to start given the amount of space i have to work with and low cost of entry. I appreciate the review.
Mine constantly turns on and off and the pulsing is crazy. I emailed Gaaleri and this was what I was told. The pulsing behavior is due to the compressor’s automatic start-stop setting. This feature is designed to maintain optimal pressure: •When the internal pressure is sufficient, the compressor stops. •When the pressure drops below the required level, it restarts. Solutions: 1.Adjust the compressor to the lowest power setting. 2.Use an airbrush with a larger nozzle size or higher airflow requirement. 3.For more stable airflow, consider adding an air tank to regulate the pressure output. Maybe I got a lemon but my other mini compressor from Spraygunner only turn on when you press the airbrush trigger.
That's super weird. I know that this one and the one i got additional for a friend worked without issues. I honestly think you got a lemon. But anything can happen tbh. Did you try getting it replaced? They usually offer to replace the product.
Nope, they just told me that it's normal and that I should add a tank. Don't make sense, how can you regulate pressure with no tank. Have you tried to just hold down the trigger and see if it turns on and off? Mine worked fine for two days and then it started pulsing with the compressor turning off and on.
@ModelkitStuff may need to investigate more. Maybe an airbrush compatibility thing. I have a Grafo with a 0.15 that has no issues, a Squidmar 2024 with a 0.2 and Creos 0.18 that constantly pulses on testing. Will need to test on 0.3 and 0.4 needle.
@ for anyone wondering, i just added the Iwata airflow adapter and the Gaahleri compressor starts to pulse when u use lower pressures. so best use as is OR use a different airflow adapter BUT it still may have same issue 🤷
I`m glad you`ve done this review as I`ve just blindly ordered one now they are available in the UK. I`ve got a cheaper upgraded Chinese version which works well but adjusting the psi is innacurate and basic. Interestingly, Ive used many tank less compressors and never experienced pulsing as I use a longer hose and water trap which absorbs it ( I think !!??). I use mine at the kitchen table with a spray booth vented out the window during winter months. ( my wife lost taste and smell thru Covid and it`s never returned fully) I put my cheaper one on a soft tatty cushion on the floor and it`s practically silent. Thanks again

I'm really interested in that booth! subbed and binging your content lol
Thank you!!!! I wanted to make sure I put it through the ringer. Now that I've had it for a couple of months. I am definitely releasing a review soon.

Do u know if u can use it @ 5-10 psi ?
You would probably need a valve on your hose to adjust it so low.
