Don't want farmers tan and mosquito bites.

I didn't see any "all in one" units on their website. The ones I got are separate units. The charger only charges the pack and then balances the pack. The discharger only discharges the pack at different discharge rates, but you have to choose which discharge rate button to press. The whole process does not solve a hard failure on a specific module, and that bad module will have to be replaced.

That's correct, HB pulled them off their website and stores - unavailable. I'm promoting the turbine spraying movement, check out my other channel "Turbine Sprayer" if you have time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Didn't think about that, thank you. I'll 45 it on next tubes got it.

HB discontinued them, but the knowledge I teach in my videos will apply to any turbine setup. Also, if you have time, checkout my new channel "Turbine Sprayer" it's all about my spraying methods and modifications for automotive turbine spraying. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

I've done numerous hours of testing and advancements with my Apollo turbine spray gun, so naturally I'm a big fan of the Apollo turbine spray guns. It's the brand I first started using, and their spray guns have won numerous awards. They also have a variety of choices for needles/tips, air caps and promote automotive spray refinishing.

Thank you

I'm a big fan of CSI Ceram-X polish. Yes, I've used Meguiars and Rupes and other brands, but CSI is my current "go to polish". I color sanded and polished the red 1968 Mustang, (shown in one of my videos) using a combination of Ceram-X polish and Rupes. The Mustang recently won best of show out of 400 plus cars.

The oil is close to flash point, and when the burner flames wick close to the edge of the wok, the oil ignites to fire.

@@JakeLesada Thank you!

They could be run through the pipes, but the covering would still need to be held down with something. Thank you for watching and commenting.

I opened up the machine and did some testing with some of the components. It's a simple design and all the parts look replaceable using parts from different manufacturers.

You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Thank you for the suggestion. Checkout the video at 2:29 for a closeup. I'll try to get a better zoom in on my next videos.

Steelman Pro is the light I use for painting, I added link in description. Also, watch my video "Futuristic spray mod" it shows how I use the light to see surface texture. And, for detailing when I cut and buff, I use Scan Grip light and Milwaukee Detailing light.

Thank you,I have two of the original Accuspray hvlp guns made before they were purchased by 3m and have resurrected my hvlp interest.Great videos and work thank you.👍

They don't fit because the size of the Avanti air cap is too small and the Avanti needles are configured differently.

If you haven't watched yet, check out the video I made about choosing which machine or spray gun.

@@JakeLesada hey jake i watch you but i must of missed that video... looking at the power5 apollo or mini mite or q5

I didn't know that, thank you for the information. I had to get rid of some ground hornets buried under old concrete buried in dirt, luckily I retreated when they swarmed out. I used my pressure washer with a foam cannon loaded with dish soap to neutralize them. It worked, they haven't been back.

With turbine spraying, the cup is pressurized from the side air tube going into the cup. Once the cup is pressured, the air forces the fluid out similar to how gravity would flow the fluid out of the tip. The advantage to gravity feed would be the natural familiarity of spraying if someone is crossing over from compressor style paint spraying to turbine paint spraying. I have an older video on this channel that shows the difference, " compressor vs. turbine spraying".

Performancrewise with metallics etc not an issue then? just wondering because i just grabbed a avanti 5 stage on open box and have a fuji unit but wanted to try the avanti gun with the pps

Metallics are super easy with turbine spraying.

Yes, check out the video on "Beginners Classes" I take apart and reassemble spray guns. The clear front mod is revealed in "Mod Revealed" video. The front mod is a water bottle cut out and fitted with blue fine line vinyl tape. If you have time, checkout my new channel "Turbine Sprayer", I'm do more spraying videos in low psi and my other spray guns. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

That's a great suggestion too. At work, I could floss after eating buffet - can't floss with fishing line. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

It does have a sorta fan width adjustment at the back of the spray gun. I call it an "air choker".

You are so welcome, and thank you for watching the video.

Once you get used to how turbine spraying works, you'll really start having fun. The Avanti 5 stage has good power and the psi range will be around 9.5psi static pressure and when the air bleed occurs it's more like 8.4-5psi. Their turbine spray gun uses about 3 psi on trigger pull, and the back adjustment for the fan width will reduce the size of the fan but at the cost of reducing atomizing air pressure. So be conscious of that air to atomization relationship because you'll notice more orange peel if you reduce the fan width too much. As a comparison, the spray gun tips for turbine spraying auto clear favor 1.0mm and with the Avanti 5 stage, the 1.3mm is no problem - but you have to move fast enough because it will hose it on like you're using 1.5mm compressor gun and you might get runs. Make sure you get full saturation with the lay down too, otherwise the spray will look used car lot dry. On my other channel " Turbine Sprayer" I go into more details on specific topics, check it out when you have time. I also like to cycle my machines to off whenever possible - when I"m not spraying in between flash off times - doing so will reduce any heat building up and it will be quieter in the room. If spraying in hotter days, it's a good idea to place a fan to help cool the machine if it gets too warm. Also, if you're spraying outside work, the sun will warm the hose and machine fast so be conscious of that too, and look for shade if possible. Don't use too long of a hose because you'll get pressure drop at the air cap and paint atomization will suffer. I've maxed to 35ft and eventually shortened my hose to 30ft and 15ft for my needs. You're lucky to have found a machine, in my area they are sold out within over a 100 mile radius and only display models with missing pieces - but at bargain prices a great deal.

@@JakeLesada thanks Jake! That’s great info and advice, and much appreciated! I didn’t know you had another channel, I’m definitely going to check it out. Thanks again!👊🏻

Thank you for watching and commenting.

I attached the air gauge thru an Apollo coupler with my own custom mod.

That's a great deal at HB. When I'm spraying I don't regulate air pressure at the machine - but at the Avanti spray gun fan control dial at the back of the spray gun. I call the dial an air choker and adjusting it will reduce the working air flow pressure (psi). The adjustment is designed to reduce the spray fan width, but sometimes it can reduce the needed air pressure to atomize certain paint materials like thicker primer. And the result will be more texture. Also check out my other channel "Turbine Sprayer" I go into more depth on spraying topics and spraying sessions. The Avanti gun will consume about 3psi when trigger is pulled and the flow pressure will drop, but it works because the machine pressure is a 5 stage. Check out the spraying with water video topic ep2 on other channel.

Yes, that is the S34 adapter and it works great. Thank you so much for watching the videos.

My hose handles it fine. According to Flexzilla tech, it's the same composition as the 3/8" air hose we use in the body shop. But, they don't have testing data for how I"m using it as an air hose - they only have date for water use. But, the air hose we have in the spray booth goes through 140F-160F bake cycles. I get heat temp readings of around 10 degrees above ambient room temp with the turbine machines I'm using. When it's around 100F in the booth the machine is around 115F -118F.

@@JakeLesada That's great! Thought you might not have run it that long doing panels. I do kitchen cabinets and it could be running for a couple hours at a time sometimes

Yes, the Apollo fittings work really well with this spray gun. I use it with my custom cut Flexzilla garden hose.

@@JakeLesada Thanks!!

I'm using my own custom made Flexzilla garden hose with the Apollo fittings.

If the chain is installed backwards it will not cut correctly. Check chain direction first, arrow should point to front of bar. I don't know which model you have, but I looked at Ryobi's 6" oil less saw and noticed there is a (+ and - ) icon on the tool. Check with your operators manual and read the procedure to adjust chain tension. The tension should be not too tight, use gloves to protect your hands from the sharp chain, and pull on the chain with thumb and middle finger to give it a slight pull - it should have a enough tension to snap back slightly to the bar. Rotate the chain and make sure it can rotate freely without any binding. Not to loose and not too tight is best for chain rotation. As you get used to adjusting the chain, you'll find a best tension tightness for it. Hope this helps.

For the finish to be similar, the paint viscosity must be thin enough to flow with a 2 stage. If the machine doesn't have enough air cfm (cubic feet per minute) or psi of at least 5psi -6psi - the finish will possibly have more orange peel texture. However if the paint is thinned and can easily be sprayed with the 2 stage, the finish will be similar. Do a water test spray out and see if the 2 stage machine can spray water to a full gloss.
