Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts. I bought the Q5 when they had a deal over a year ago to get a free sprayer. Finally getting around to use it. I watch a few other videos and ran into one other person that talked about the pressure pot. Should be arriving today :-)
Good job - I recently switched to the pressure pot and totally agree about the weight factor of the pps. I used the smaller cups for years because it wore me out. The problem was always that the smaller cups are a pain with the lids. The lids go on really tight and are frustrating. One big plus for me is that the atomization is significantly better with a pot vs the pps. I use a compressor driven pot vs the one like you do so the full power of the turbine just goes to the gun rather than pressurizing the pot.
Would love to know what paints you use on cabinets and in particular, how you handle thinning to get great atomization without compromising paint integrity, I use the same system as you but with the pps system. I love it but am really challenged getting good atomization with water based alkyds.
That’s the first generation of 3M PPS cups they have better version in the 2.0 PPS System. I prefer using the PPS cup for primer and lacquer bc I hate cleaning it out of a cup. I can just throw away the liner super awesome. Pressure pot is better for waterbased. Best not to mix water and oil based products in the pressure pot just use it for water. The solvents will wear out the seal on the lid over time too
Great information and explanation.

I’m very happy with the pressure pot for the bigger jobs or if you want to spray on tight spaces

I agree with the lids part sometimes can be very frustrating
Very Helpful, thanks for your help. Keep up the videos.
Great job. Lots of useful information.

My question is that my pressure tank comes with standar air 1/4 connector, how to upgrade to 3/4 house connector
