  • Two things could be the case:

    1. The needle needs to be pulled out and placed back, remember to tighten the needle retaining chuck bolt.

    2. May want to soak the stylus in warm (not hot) water or overnight with the needle out.

    Call Heather in Tech support and she can personally walk you through this issue: Toll Free 1-866-914-4148 (M-F business hours). We can resolve this issue very quickly with a little more input from you live.

  • i tried this, exactly as you did. and i pulled back on the trigger, and my make-up is still not spraying out at all. help?

  • Ok, not a problem. 1) Pull out the needle from the stylus. 2) Prepare a plastic container with a few drops of dish washing liquid and about 2 cups of lukewarm water [do not place airbrush in dishwasher]. 3) Place the stylus and the needle separately in lukewarm water to soak overnight. 3) Next day, wipe-off all makeup buildup from needle. 4)Firmly place needle all the way and tighten needle chuck 5)Try to spray water from the airbrush. THIS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

  • Do you take the stylus off of the air house?

  • Sure, just slide off the hose. It comes back on in a jiff.

  • Call us, we will troubleshoot this issue. It will be our pleasure to sort out your stylus. Call 1-866-914-4148 and ask for Susan. Our time of operation is M-F 9am-5:30 Central. We are extremely sure that it is something we can resolve on the phone with you. Talk to you very soon.

  • Ok, know how to fix this. 1) Make sure airbrush system is off 2) Unscrew the needle cap (tail of stylus) 3) Gently loosen (do not remove) needle retaining screw on nut. 4) Push the needle all the way IN 5) tighten the needle retaining screw nut 6)Closeup by attaching tail needle cap. >>>>>>The problem was that your needle was not pushed-in all the way the last time your stylus needle was cleaned. Push in the needle and this problem will be fixed instantly. Hoe this helps immediately.
