I also use a homemade setup.  In my case I used a glass jar with a plastic lid.  I used small pvc pipe fittings, a short piece, and a 90 degree elbow.  If I make another, I would either use a 45 degree elbow or a a longer straight piece.  I use a suction-feed, and the paint bottle hits the cleaner bottle unless I turn the airbrush 45 degrees or so,

The Admiral was throwing out her old container of Spark and me being the container hoarder that I am found a pretty good use for it...  I drilled holes in opposite sides near the top and placed a rubber grommet in one hole that's a good fit for my airbrushes.  I filled it loosely with tissue to catch paint/cleaner spray.

I've used it several times and it works like a charm.  There no carbon filter so I just use it for water based paints.  Best part is it only set me back about 25 cents.

That thing in the background is where most of my paint blemishes come from.
