All,
I appreciate all the feedback and interest in the new guns (and the old). I do visit here frequently and try to observe and utilize the thoughts and suggestions you have related to airbrush products. Just a couple of things I want to quickly inform on regarding some of the discussions in this thread.
1. I know our website is currently a catastrophe. I am promised by the site developer it will make notable progress after the Labor Day holiday. In that regard if anyone wishes to contribute by inclusion, please send me pics of your finshed pieces and we'll find a place for you in our gallery as it is expanded. My direct email is kenbadger@aol.com
2. The needle on the Velocity (and the Spirit) is more sensitive than other needles. This is mostly because of the finer linear flow angle. This finer angle is also in part why the Renegade more finely atomizes paint, minimizes overspray, and allows finer line creation and control (and yes to many it is noticeable). Our Engineer is researching materials and processes to lessen the needles sensitivity. We are actually testing some hardening processes at this time. (We'll find ways to keep you abreast of product changes if and when they occur. We are limited as to what we can say in the forums as it can be perceived as commercial, which would not be fair to our competitors and may not be acceptable forum policy)
3. Stating information, that may have adverse effect on the party to which such information applies, in a manner that implies it as fact or possible fact, without any relevant insight, is not an informed opinion. Saying "I don't know" later, to me at least, does not justify the act. In some instances it may be considered slanderous. Whether such acts are constitutionally protecetd or not, they don't seem to be acts of integrity. Of course you're not constitutionally obligated to care about integrity, but integrity is a character trait I hold high - and try to act with in my daily life. I am hopeful and confident most here feel the same. I will always do my best to post, in this or any other forum, only what I know to be verifiable. (yes, I know this whole paragraph up until now has been opinion.) I ask that when it comes to me or my company, Badger Air-Brush Co. the forum do the same. If you want to know something about Badger, I am open to your questions at the email address above. I know I can't force this, but I do respectfully ask it. I do not wish to engage in any debate or create any indifference (Lord knows I'm at odds enough with three kids who know everything, LOL) I am simply asking the same level of respect and fairness I will afford all here in my dealings with them.
I hope you all have blessed Labor Day holiday.
God Bless all who serve - keep them in your prayers.
Take air,
Ken @ Badger
