Hi Julia,
Do you have any updates to share about possible release dates for your airbrush? I need to purchase one relatively soon and would love to wait to hear what you have come up with, if possible.
Thanks!
Jennifer Berry posted:I know this is an old thread but hopefully someone sees this! LOL. I have never airbrushed cookies before but really want to start learning. I see all these cookie/cake decorating airbrush kits with little tiny compressors but if I already have an air compressor (it's much larger at 6 gallons) can I just buy extensions to use in order to use it for airbrushing? I hope that makes sense. Sorry if it is a dumb question. TIA!
Suzabell posted:Hi Jennifer, I just took an airbrushing class w/ Creative Cookier (amazing!!!). Anyway, that size compressor would send your cookies flying across the room. You really need a smaller compressor, one that doesn't go higher than 15psi. Hope that helps!!
LOL!
Julia, Glad to see your update re the release of your airbrush. Since it's your research and design, it will probably be the best on the market.
I'm not even close to needing an airbrush, but I want an airbrush. Gotta sell a lot of cookies first, and by then I should be ready for one.

I think we're still a couple of months away. I am headed to my partner's business to test compressors this Friday/weekend, so I'll have a better idea after then.
Thanks, Julia. It will interesting to hear what you come up with! I appreciate you getting back to me.
Best of luck with your development!
Although I have 2 airbrush kits already (not all that thrilled with either of them or my compressor). I'm eager to see what you come up with Julia after you've completed your research and design 
.
All the best as you continue on Julia!!

I'm in the same situation. I have 2 airbrushs and I'm not happy with either. I've been wondering if the airbrush color might be the culprit.

I truly doubt it's the color. My airbrush is awesome and works great with Chefmaster, AmeriColor, and Dinky Doodle colors, among others. I'm now just working on finding the best compressor to go along with it.
Out of curiosity, which two airbrushes do you have and why aren't you happy with them? (Feel free to PM or email me, if you'd prefer to say in private!) Thanks!
Patiently waiting for the release. With as much heart you put into your artistic creations, I'm sure this machine will be great.

Thanks for your patience. The airbrush part has been done for a while, but we're still working on finding the best compressor to partner with it. We want everything to be as wonderful as it can possibly be. Still hoping to release before Christmas, but exact date is not firm yet.
Hi Julia! I'm waiting for your perfect airbrush. My aunt that lives in the USA told me what I want for christmas 😄😅. I said an airbrush but I will wait for yours! Waiting here in Peru 😊😍

Great - I am still hoping it will be out before Christmas, but we are still working on the compressor part of the system.
Julia,
my wife would love an airbrush for Christmas. Any update on if yours will be released by then?
thank you so much.

Still hoping that before Christmas, but I don’t have an exact date. Some things are taking longer than hoped. Thanks for your interest and patience.
Hi there Julia!
I was wondering if there was a firm release date for your airbrush system and will it be compatible with UK power supply? Thank you so much. X

Sometime in April is all I can say. My partner is still working on the launch web site, and I don't have any control over how quickly he works. He promised this month, and that's what I'm going with for now. Yes, we will have 110V and 220V versions.
Hello all, I know I have seen many threads here in the past about airbrushing machines, techniques, and recommendation. However, when I do a search for them, I get no results.
I am ready to purchase an airbrushing machine, but I just do not know which one to get. For those who use an airbrush, which machine do you use, recommend? I am looking for something affordable, but obviously good quality.
Here's what I came up with when I did a search: https://cookingtimejournal.com...rating-airbrush-kits
Which one would be a good choice?
If you have link to threads about this, I will take those as well.

I would have recommended my JULIA airbrush system, but it is out of stock now and I am no longer working with that partner for various reasons. I love and work with my JULIA airbrush everyday, however. I am hoping to launch another (similar) system in the not-to-distant future with another company. In order to give you a good recommendation in the meantime though, I would need to know your airbrushing needs - cookies and/or cakes? precision work or broad-brush coverage? etc. In general, I think dual-action airbrushes, like the one I offered, afford much more precision than single-action systems, as you are in control of both air and coloring flow at the same time. But, they will be more expensive. The compressor also matters. I'd avoid ones that are only rated to 15 psi, as some deliver less, which can contribute to a speckled spray pattern. And, if you want to cover cakes, for instance, you'll probably need more psi.
One other important consideration is servicing. If you buy indirectly through a wholesaler online, and/or an airbrush manufactured in China with a big-name private label on it (like Duff's), you are likely going to have trouble locating someone to service it for you if/when needed. That all being said, I think your best service is likely to come from Creative Cookier - her airbrushes are single-action and made in China to her specs, but she's top-notch when it comes to delivering service. I have not used her system, but others seem to like it a lot.
In this website https://www.cdhpl.com/best-airbrush-cake-decorating/ A complete Set of Airbrushes Kit For Cake Decoration is available on number one position, do you recommend JULIA for a bakery business.

I would have recommended my JULIA system, as I specifically tailored the design to cookie and cake applications. I tested and tweaked it over the course of a year and a half, which I doubt can be said of many of these other systems. However, as I posted on this site about two months ago, I am no longer offering the system for sale. I love it, of course, but I had some differences of opinion with the manufacturer.
Does anyone know anything about THIS PointZero airbrush system? I watched an Amazon video and this was ranked #2. It gets great reviews on Amazon. There are several other PointZero airbrush kits that are different prices (due to having different things in the kits), but this video liked this one best. I read the previous responses and there is one mention called Vogue Air. I searched for it but cannot find it. Can someone provide a link? Thanks.

Don't know the brand, but the compressor looks to be the same as the Master compressor (they all come out of China from one or two places), and that compressor is as good as any. The price is also good, though I'd be wary of buying from Amazon, as the service is likely to be non-existent.

I know this is an old thread, but is the #ABCS Complete Airbrush system still available? I am having issues with spotty spray with the airbrush system I have (not #ABCS). I don't know of anyone else who has this problem because it is highly rated. I have never read a rating of it that is below 5 stars. I have tried everything and cannot seem to get a smooth spray. The company sent me another compresser identical to the one that came it and I still have spotty spray. The max PSI is 30 and I have it turned all the way up (The speed is controlled with a knob). Can someone recommend an airbrush system to me that will give me smooth spray if the #ABCS is no longer available?
Hi everyone, I am not sure if this topic is still active or should i post somewhere else
I am just looking for the right airbrush for myself, it will be my first, never used one and I want that to be good. I could not find almost any of the airbrushes listed above, i think it's because the post is really old...
i will be very thankful for any advice on which airbrush will be better for me. I am looking for the lighter and smaller version and so I can purchase it from Amazon.
thank you

The post is still live (they all are), and it is best to "reactivate" old posts by posting under them as opposed to starting a new one - so thanks. I still have no system I prefer more than my JULIA one that I no longer sell. The feature set is important - it is dual-action (better control), has a large cup and cap (so no spills and not constantly refilling), runs on a larger compressor (so the spray pattern is less speckled) and has a quick-connect adaptor (to easily swap in guns with different colors). I think the Paasche system has most of these features, though their guns are heavier and harder to handle in that regard. It will be a more expensive system than the single-action ones, however. I have now used most of the smaller single-action systems (Cookie Countess, Creative Cookier, Artfully Designed Creations (ADC), etc.) and they are all still available and good, inexpensive starter systems, but the spray patterns on all tend to be more speckled because their compressors are much lower output. They also have small coloring cups, which I don't much care for. Creative Cookier's has a quick-connect adaptor, and her service is exceptional, so if you go single-action, hers is the way to go.
@Julia M. Usher thank you so much for your reply. The recommendations are really helpful! Though, I got Amazon gift card as a birthday present yesterday, which I am willing to spend on Airbrush, none of the brands mentioned above are available there. Also, I live in Tbilisi, Georgia (Country) and shipping from the USA is expensive and can not afford at this point compressors weighing 10 pounds... so I have three options to choose from: Watson and Webb Airbrushing system, Master Airbrush Multi-Purpose Airbrushing System Kit with Portable Mini Air Compressor or U.S. Cake Supply - Complete Cake Decorating Airbrush Kit... if any of these are familiar to you or the brands that you use and trust, it would be a great help. it will be my first airbrush, so i don't expect it to be the best, but i don't want to be disappointed either, as I really want to learn airbrushing. thank you again!

If you can send me links to all three of these systems (just post them in a comment below), I can look at their features and tell you which one I would get (which I think is best based on its feature set). I am familiar with some Master systems, but not the other two. The other consideration is making sure you can access someone at the company to help with service questions, if and when you have them.
you are so kind, Julia, thank you for helping me!
The second one, I think is the best in these options, the compressor seems to be quite powerful for the price and size... Can't wait to hear what you think

I couldn't find the compressor size on the second one, but I have a feeling it's smaller/less powerful than what I use. Also, you're getting two siphon-fed airbrushes with it that you will likely not use - they're not really designed for food coloring. All the others have small compressors, likely to give you speckled spray patterns. This Paasche system is close to what I have, though it has no quick-connect adaptor on the hose that I can see: https://www.amazon.com/Paasche...aps%2C187&sr=8-9
This airbrush is actually what mine was designed from, though this Badger Patriot 105 does not have the quick-connect adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/Badger-...aps%2C453&sr=8-5 My system is hooked up to a 1/5 hp compressor that is nearly identical - if not identical - to the Paasche one in the link above.
If you are just starting out - come to think of it - you might try the TruColor battery-operated, portable one. It's heavy and a bit awkward to handle, and has a small compressor in the handle, but it actually does a pretty decent job and has a big capped cup. I've got a couple of them and sometimes use them. Their spray pattern isn't quite as even as mine, but it's better than some of the smaller ones I mentioned earlier. This one is similar to - if not the exact same - as the TruColor one: https://www.amazon.com/ROADTEC...TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== (Note: This airbrush is made in China and so you'll see different brands of it, but they are all basically the same machine just private-labelled differently. Likewise, all the compressors come from China, and the US companies just private-label them; the only US-made airbrush guns that I know of are Paasche and Badger. I say this, because any compressor coming out of China is likely to be of unpredictable quality, but that's all we've got to choose from . . .)
Got to run now, as I am supposed to be taking this weekend off!
Oh my God Julia, I can not thank you enough for your time and kindness. I think I have got more clear idea now, which one is suitable for me. I will post my airbrush work as soon as I get one. Thank you again!
I am new to cookie decorating and want to start airbrushing. I realize this is a really old thread and that Julia's airbrush system is no longer available. I also realize there may have been many improvements to airbrush systems for cookie decorating since the last post in 2017.
I could use some advice in what to look for in purchasing an airbrush system personal recommendations, as well as what to avoid when purchasing. Thanks so much!

I have nothing to add. Airbrushes are ages-old tech and not much has changed as far as what's being offered in the cookie marketplace. I still hate the small compressors and small uncapped cups (so many spills)!
But if you want a small starter single-action system, go with Creative Cookier. Her service is the best.
Thanks for your help. I read the specs for your Julia system and tried to match those as best I could. Perhaps sometime in the near future, you can find a new partner company to produce your dream airbrush system.

I hope your system works out for you! On the latter comment: Maybe - though I am a bit burnt out on partnerships at present. I am working on a couple of other ventures right now, and they are very slow going. I need to get them launched first, and that will take me through end of the year.
