There is only one version of the 100LG so you have the same one I have.

That company probably sells a lot to people airbrushing cakes is why it says that.  

Mike,

Unfortunately, the company contacted me today, the same day I order, and said that they will not have any Badger Airbrushes for a while because the company cannot get any parts to produce the airbrushes.  He did recommend getting an Iwata however.  So I am looking at the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS Large Gravity Feed Airbrush.  What do you think?

I have a 100lg and love it, if you set on getting one check out www.dixieart.com i paid 69.95 with free shiping. I have had good results with them.

Thanks Rob,

 Did the AB come with a cover for the cup, or do you have to order that extra?

I think he has no clue as to what he is talking about.

Where do these people come from?

Why not contact Ken personally? Kenbadger@aol.com.

If you don't hear from him then contact his helper Jan Meyers and she will get it to him.

The cap is standard but I never use it. It's a waste of time if you ask me.

I ordered a 100LG from Dixieart, however I did notice that the website said there may be some"lead time" for Badger Products.  So if nothing transpires from this, then I will contact Badger directly and try to find where I can purchase an AB.  Can anyone recommend the Iwata Eclipse HS-CS Large Gravity Feed, or perhaps the Iwata Revolution CR?  These are the alternatives that I am looking at if I cannot get a 100LG.  I would like to get a Thayer & Chandler Omni 4000, however those seem to be out of stock everywhere as well, since they are related to Badger. 

Any suggestions!?

Yes, I "can recommend the Iwata Eclipse HS-CS Large Gravity Feed, and the Iwata Revolution CR". (I am NOT saying that they are better or worse than the Badger AB's since I don't own a Badger AB.) I can walk into a local Hobby Lobby store and get the Iwata Eclipse HS-CS with their 40% off coupon for $120. No waiting. The trigger is very smooth and precise. The balance of the AB is superb. The price is slightly higher than equivalent Badger or Paasche, but not by much. (If cost is a concern, the Iwata Revolution CR is only $68, free shipping, from Chicago Airbrush Supply.) Hobby Lobby also carries the nozzle and needle replacement for Iwata at competitive cost.

The local Machiels Hobby Store carries the Badger AB and parts, but they don't carry the 100LG or Omni-3000 type.

In other airbrush forums, there are definite opinion about the qualitly of needles among the major brands. It is not a decision factor to pick Iwata since I use the AB only a few hours a week. It will be a long time, if ever, that I need a new needle.

Keilau,

Make your fonts bigger dude you are hurting my eyes.

Call Coast Airbrush in Anaheim, CA.

Another person on here bought an Omni 4000 from them at my recommendation and they said that Coast had 6 in stock and they were cheaper than Dixie.

Call David at Coast Airbrush and see.

Thanks to all of you for your help!  I was able to get a Badger 100LG for $69.95 with the Medium tip today.  I received the shipping order through the email, with an expected delivery date of the 16th.  I will look at possibly purchasing the Omni 4000 in the future.  Maybe even an Iwata :) 

 This Bager is the first airbrush I have ever owned, and will be the first one I have ever used.  I have never airbrushed a model before, so I am looking forward to learning all of the do's and don'ts.  Any advice before I destroy a cheap model?

Mike, help and tell me what you see in my post. When I get on the forum, the font that I used are 2 sizes larger than the default size that I see in you post. This post is in size #2, regular.

Size #1, Size #2, Size #3, Size #4.

I use IE for browser. Is it possible that your browser does not pick up the font size setting from my post?

It's coming in as Comic Sans Size# 1 (8 pt) which is pretty tiny. it's the same in IE7 or Firefox 2.0.0.14. 

Comic Sans also looks blurry, as it isn't a crisp front. At least with Size# 2 we can read it. So I thank you!
