Testing The All New Mobius Airbrush Line By Gaahleri - Outstanding New Airbrush

[@robh7421]

Wonderful review! And to your guy wanting the fan cap tested, BUY THE FAN CAP!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! with the .7mm, it does a wonderful job with thicker paints. I like thinner paints. 7 can really push it out. If doing a car body, it's easy to get to much laid down on a radius causing poop. With the .5 ONLY needle, the fan cap can cover the entire side of the body evenly. I do use the .7mm needle, primers, glitter etc. But 1/32 / 1/35 wings or 1/24 & 1/16 auto bodies, .5 with fan cap all day long. IMHO. Once again as always my friend, thanks for all you do! I've been with you from the beginning and I'll be here till the end! One day I hope to buy an actual compressor for doing this and get away from the husky, but for now it works and cost me nothing extra. So glad I found your channel and really value your non bias reviews! Thank you so much!

Gaahleri has been hitting it out of the park with all of their releases so I expect nothing less with these new products. I have the Barbatos Rex Swallowtail and it’s probably the best I’ve ever owned. All of my friends that have seen/handled it are really impressed and will probably be customers in the near future.

[@teddyjones8027]

A STANDING OVATION to Gaahleri for absolutely knocking it out of the park. Thank you Thank you. It's soo awesome that an actual airbrush company is paying attention to the market and their consumers. You have made me a customer for life. Great review Thank you. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@musoseven8218]

The new 2024 Harder and Steenbeck (H&S) look to be game changers, continuous improvement coupled with listening to customers etc. Of course there's a price difference, but we know that H&S last well, so offer value for money. Good to see a new company on the market, also that a Chinese firm is going for it, going for innovation and quality/value for money. I've Chinese friends, clever, honourable folk. Downside? The CCP's involvement with most of not all Chinese companies. That has to be an ethical concern re human rights issues, the pandemic etc, arms supplies to "meh Russia". I'm apolitical but we have to consider these things now💔🤔🤔💔✌️💜

Bro how, my GHAD-39 is always having problems and also being clogged and spluttering, but that could be me I have been not taking great care of them, I’ll see if it’s the airbrush when I get my Morbius 0.3

[@wilzdart]

Thanks for the review I am saving up for you swallow tail. You so a lot for us that air brush!!!

[@landwand]

The thing about these airbrush reviews are that they all seem very good. How does this stack up against the NeoEco, Iwata Eclipse and Creos / Procon Boy?

[@landwand]

Thanks for the detailed response, @@twig4590 . What was wrong with your 0.2? Is it fixable in any regard? It's good of them to offer you a no-questions refund. I am seriously thinking about adding a Creos to my collection; but an airbrush is a want and not a need at this point as I own quite a few brushes already. The Mobius had me interested due to the highly polished cup, the Mac and the cutaway handle; all great aspects to have in a tool. A shame to know that they're not quite there yet.

[@BrewsGamesRides]

I picked up one over your summer Amazon prime recommendation, really great to see their product line and Barbatos Rex you're the best! 👍 🍻

Pulled the trigger on the 0.3, should get it this week, along with the $87 compressor. As a beginner this setup should be sweet!!!

Robert, You convinced me! Just bought the Gaahleri Airbrush Mobius 0.2! Great job demonstrating how well it atomizes chrome paint. Just what I was looking for. By the way, I also purchased the Amazon special for $29.99! I'm stoked!!! Update: After ordering my airbrush (Mobius .2mm) yesterday I received it via UPS the very next day. I found that Los Angeles is the point of distribution and I live in Santa Monica, CA. It's a great brush and worth every penny I spent. Everyone, go out and get one while the price is right.

[@Avalanche523]

Gaahleri is really doing a great job, the fact that they collaborated with Barbatos Rex proves they are interested in improving their product. Thank you both. Have a safe and healthy new year. 🎉

Is there a test that you can do with how they work with Primer? A little thicker paint on the fence whether or not I want to buy because I don’t like that have to buy to brushes.

[@zunl]

I have the swallowtail and it's my go to brush I like the nozzle design on the Mobius and I think you're right they are on to something with that. I can't decide on which Mobius to get I like the .2 and the mac air control but the .3 seems to make more sense so I bought both of them, seems like the right thing to do. 😄

[@knightsljx]

They're sold out of the 0.5 mm nozzle/needles and micro cup currently, but the best combo is to get the 0.2 mm since it has the air valve, then top up with the larger and micro cup and larger nozzle/needles since they are all compatible. Then you'll get a "ultimate" combo. i.e. - 0.2 mm Airbrush - 0.3mm nozzle + needle + cap - 0.5mm nozzle + needle + cap - 1/3 oz cup - 1 cc cup

[@apoclypse]

Just got the .3 model as I was really impressed with the atomization in your video of the swallowtail. You can just tell by looking at it that it's atomizing well, and for the price it's really amazing.

I been focusing on buying models since some of which I am afraid they might retire some of them at the same time buying certain stuff for me to build for my granddaughter. I'm hoping by the summer I can get my area upgraded and built to my liking. I think I am gonna focus on maybe 3 paint brands and leave it at that. I do appreciate all of your input I have learned a lot for the little bit of time I have been around watching your videos they have helped me a lot. I wish I could do more for ya but my funds are so limited it's not funny barely getting by with what I do get. When there are deals it helps out a lot for someone like me.

I'd like to see more objective tests that do more than just spray wide areas. Right now, I haven't seen anything from this airbrush that cannot be done with a $20 Amazon one, although I have a feeling that this airbrush may be a top contender in quality close to a Creos or middle-upper end Iwata. Trigger control, consistency, feel are all very important.

I’ve ordered the 0.3 as I need a new brush in that size. I’m impressed by the pricing. I don’t work after a surgical accident and price is important for me now. I’m hoping to save over the next couple of months and get the swallowtail as I also have rheumatoid arthritis in both hands and for a long session the pistol grip is so much more comfortable. It’s my birthday in a month so maybe I can ask the wife for funds to put toward it. Thanks for the great reviews on everything you cover, they are very informative.

Hello Mike, send me your address, I'll see what I can do for you. My email is in the description below the video

[@braddechion4343]

Another great review, thanks. I do have a question about these though. Are they able to use multiple needle sizes like some of the others you have reviewed, or are they set up for just the one? If that's the case I can likely do everything I would need with the 3. Just curious really. Have a good day and keep up the great work.

[@PolLight3000]

Gaahleri ​​themselves have already been asked this question and their answer is: No, they do not recommend swapping needles/nozzles with each other, both airbrushes are specifically designed for their own needle/nozzle size. Personally, I see this as a major disadvantage - but admittedly it is a very clever marketing move.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Not interchangeable so if purchasing one of them I would buy the 0.3mm

[@thurow37]

These look promising for a 1/18 scale actuon figure customizer. Question: is that nozzle head psecific to the .3, or is it also in the .2? Also wondering why they didnt do a multi head and needle option forvthis series...i think a .5, .3 and .2 on the airbrush w the mac valve would be ideal...maybe even put in a .7. Is there options to do this with either of these (havent jumped on their site yet to look...so asking out if some ignorance here)

[@ibidesign]

Thanks for another great video, Robert. Questions: 1) Are we supposed to always flush distilled water through an airbrush after cleaning with acetone? (I thought acetone left to dry inside an airbrush can ruin most o-rings). 2) Are Gaahleri's paint cups interchangeable (i.e. does the larger cup for the 0.3 brush fit the threads on the 0.2 brush, etc.)? Ha, you must've broken their website with this video, Robert, as they are now "experiencing technical difficulties" with their ordering website.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Flush rubbing alcohol thru the airbrush right after passing acetone thru it. That clears out the acetone thus stopping it from doing damage

[@indistinctchatter3501]

I have two Gaahleris. Looks like I'm gonna get two more.

[@scottp9425]

Great products!! I think the reason the paint is atomized so well is those curved groves. They work very similar to a rifles rifling witch puts the spin on the round going down the barrel. Im sure this airbrush does the same thing, it puts a very mineute spin on the paint. That's why it atomize's the paint so well. In the military we had a class about ballistics, an how the spin + distance = a target hit. Quite a bit of mathematics. But lm sure the principal is the same. Aussie Skot.

[@Invaderzim2004]

any word if they will do a 0.15mm needle? These are looking great already!

[@daleriecke4360]

Wow another great video. I do have a question about thinners and acetone. Is store brand lacquer thinner, acetone and 91-95% isopropyl alcohol ok to use when thinning paints and cleaning? Or should we be using the ones from the paint manufacturer? Is there any special additive packages added to name brand ones? TIA

[@NeoPest]

typically big home improvement store brand ones contain xylene and some have toluene which are not a very safe chemical to use either health wise or because it etches and dissolves plastics, kinda like it does to your lungs. any manufacturer will have a SDS, safety data sheet, which lists the chemicals they use and stay away from ones with xylene or toluene. some specialty formulas from auto parts stores that are sold as premium options are almost as good as the hobby ones for painting plastics but you really need to read the SDS before using to be sure. as far as additives they do add retarders (to slow the drying time and make smoother coats like mr leveling thinner) to premium thinners from both hobbyist and automotive brands however the xylene/toluene is only seen in some home improvement and automotive brands

[@olo398]

to answer your questions 1) yes. 2) you can and should depending on use cases but dont have to 3) katman good enough answer.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I use store brand thinners only for cleaning as I find them too "Hot" for plastic models

The thing about these airbrushes is how they last not how well they work out the box, they all work mostly. I may have to look at one at this price - just to see if things have gotten better than when I last tried "cheap" airbrushes. Thanks for all your hard work, all appreciated.

Look at these airbrushes like Genesis automobiles. Yes the Genesis is a Hyundai but it's way beyond that, it's a super high quality car that cost $60K but is equal to a car that cost $80K to $100K.
