Panzerfaust Airbrush

I can get replacement needle and nozzle for my Iwata HP-CS airbrush at very reasonable cost at my local Hobby Lobby, and save even more using their 40% off coupons.

You cannot easily get replacement parts for the knock-off airbrushes. And for the very few that you can, the needle plus shipping is 2-3 times more than the Iwata needle. Since the knock-off uses cheap materials that don't last that long, it is sensible to plan on getting complete brand new set instead of replacing parts.

But those disposible may make perfect sense for people who only airbrush occasinally and don't want to invest in a name brand upfront.

BearAir is reporting an introduction of a "first disposable airbrush" on the market. Limited information is available but I assume the airbrush is meant to be thrown away after use. I'm a little bit puzzled by this because at $40 each that would make it a pretty expensive disposable tool. Even paintbrushes which cost a few dollars each are cleaned with great care and kep in a jar for future use...

I don't think they literally mean that you use it once and huck it into the waste bin.  From BearAir's The Disposables airbrush section...

No longer will you need to baby your airbrush. No more polishing needles or spending tedious amounts of time fixing a bent needle. The Disposables are designed to be used and once the performance declines it is disposed and a new one purchased.....at prices lower than other brands charge for just the nozzle!

To me it's just a gimmicky way of saying that it's a cheap airbrush and there's no point to fixing it if it breaks.  The question of course is how well are they made.  My Badger and my Paasche have never broken, and if these things could match that reliability, they'd be a bargain.  Of course, if you were to actually buy one and it dies the first time out, you now have the price of the cheap airbrush added to the price of the Badger/Paasche/Iwata leaving you to wonder if it was such a bargain in the first place.
