My wife has been using those fast blast type. She sprays acrylics on canvas, bought the caps with tubes that fit the paint bottles and loves how quick she can switch between colors.

I played around with the AB a bit. I'll probably be spraying mostly enamels to start and I want the thin glass bottles (1/2oz - 1oz) with the metal caps and nozzles. I tried some of the different sized plastic bottles that came with my Iwata setup, some were too wide (fat) and got in the way (felt uncomfortable).

But who knows... that could all change once I start getting busy with the AB.  Confused [%-)]

What's your favorite siphon bottle that you use (I know, bottom feeders only). I tend to lean towards Badger bottles, but I'm torn between the "new" fast blast caps and the traditional metal ones. The fast blast are easier to clean and maintain, but the metal ones mount better and actually look better on the brush. I know looks do not affect performance but you also get more clearance on the air hose. Post your thoughts.
