I am looking for suggestions on the best place to get reasonably priced airbrush inks with decent shipping costs as well (No, I am not going to spend $200 to get free shipping! Hahaha!) that you have used and trust. I know there are some places where you can get sets of colors, or just individual ones.
I have just recently gotten my airbrush and just to practice with it used some gel color mixed in vodka. I noticed I had little 'dark spots' (unmixed gel color I assume) the specialty airbrush inks will not do this, will they? Or is it that I haven't done something on my airbrush correctly? I just assumed it was because I was not using the inks specifically meant for this purpose. (Waiting to figure out where to get them!!)
TIA for any and all feedback. So far my favorite use of the airbrush is to mix my luster dusts with vodka and make everything shiny!!! I LOVE this!!
You can buy sets of airbrush color usually from where you got your airbrush machine or a local decorating supply store (not Michael's or Hobby Lobby).
AmeriColor is my favorite. To order from them you have to call the number on their site www.americolorcorp.com. Some other websites might have them as well, such as Beryl's or Cake Craft Shop.
I may be wrong, but I thing the "spitting" means the needle or nozzle is not completely clean. I don't use my machine that much, but I like the colors for brush painting.

Melvira,
When I originally purchased my Kroma Jet airbrust set I lived in California and could drive to KopyKake Enterprises where I purchased my set of airbrush colors. Here are a couple of websites you can check for purchasing the colors:
www.kopykake.com
www.cakeartpartystore.com
www.beryls.com
I believe, like Sugarflowers said, the problem with the splitting could be caused by something either in the nozzle or the airhose. Check both. Goodluck airbrushing!
What about Cake Central? They sell Americolor airbrush colors. Great price and great customer service.
Hmmm. I don't know... Cake Central? There are some pretty shady characters there! 
KIDDING!! I will see what they have and if I can get an order going! Thanks for all the help everyone!
Another quick question... the airbrush color, do you add liquid to it or use as is? BTW: The airbrush I am using is not the kind with the little cup on top, it has a little bottle that you put the color in and screw it on to the front of the nozzle.
You can use the color straight or thin it with water (vodka, whatever you use) I use water because it works and it is free. Remember if you thin it, it will lighten the color. If you are going for a dark tone, you will have to cover the area several times. Since you a using a vacuum brush instead of a gravity feed you will need more color in you to fill your cup enough for the vacuum to pick it up. You may want to thin the colors just to keep from using to much.
*quickly adding cigarHerb to my list of people to bug about stuff because they know what they're talking about* 
Thank you!! I appreciate the share of knowledge as I do not have much experience with the airbrush...YET!! I will quickly become a pro with help from you guys!
yes, next tip is go to howtoairbrush.com (world of information). They have free online tutorials on how to get started airbrushing. Use cheap food colors (the KopyKake colors that come free with the KK setup for instance) to practice.
The funnny thing is, is that I am partly colorblind and have a hard time blending tones or matching colors. I cant tell where tones fade into each other, it just looks like one color. Example is red and orange, I cant tell them apart side by side unless it is dark red and light orange.
Hey, I have another question to throw in since you are all here. I have about 10 colors on hand, and wanted to know if anyone ever mixes colors before airbrushing on. I need to get a lapis blue for a cake, and wanted to see if there are any suggestions out there!
