Yep, it helps!
I have read that another purpose of having the tank is that it "smoothes" out the air flow to the brush. Supposedly pulses of air can come out of a compressor hooked direct to the airbrush and cause sputtering or perhaps splatters. (?) Anyone have experience with this?
.I like how the Harbor Freight air brush compressor fits neatly into a little Igloo soft drink cooler I have
Do you do this just for storage or does it keep the noise down? Or is it for temp control?
Thanks,

Nate:
I use the cooler just for convenient storage, but also it keeps the unit free of nasty things between uses.
Personally, the pulses have not been an issue with me, but I use the inexpensive Harbor Freight dual-action air brush they used to have that was a Badger knock-off for $20.00 as well as their cheap external single-action external mixing unit for large areas, general priming, etc.
Just guessing, but I would think the pulses would be more of a problem if you were to seek to use the finer dual action brush "wide open" for a broad application, so that it would be more sensative to pressure pulses, where I find the external mixing single-action type suitible and easier to clean anyway.
At least that's my
