Has anyone ever used one of these??

I was browsing an old cake decorating magazine and spotted it.

An airbrush does a way better job and the control is great ..however they are pricey and not worth the money if you don't use it enough.I use mine all the time and love it!!!

I have never used an air brush, But with the air pen i find that the frosting has to be so thin for the compressor to push it through that its just not worth the hassle, because by the time i get the frosting thin enough it won't hold its shape. About the only thing mine is good for is picking up dagrees and placing them.

I put my air pen away and haven't touched it since just after i bought it. Now i do hear the sugarvail one has a bigger compressor, and maybe that is what mine needs.

The air pen you use frosting, chocolate, piping gel, that kind of stuff.

The air brush you use color.
