the small black one has a preset pressure, which you cannot change. the red box (airmaster) has a variable pressure. get this one if you can.
What does everyone suggest- a gravity feed or bottom attachment on the brush. Better flow from -gravity fed?- Easier to switch colors with the bottom attachment one? Or is the top-feed just as easy?
I have a gravity feed at work and a bottom feed at home and the both work the same really, the only problem with a bottom or suction feed is sometimes you have to turn it a little to the side to get the last bit of color out. But either one works fine i got a $ 20 airbrush at harbor freight and it works just as god as the $ 90 copykake
so what is the difference with the Harbor freight brand versus the kopykake version? if they are 1/3 the prices? Will the Harbor freight options work just as good- is that a dual action brush?- Do you have the harbor freight compressor as well? Are you able to adjust the pressure?
My DH just baught me one from harbor freight 2 days ago. I love it but I havent got to use it. I will keep you posted to let you know how it works out. I was wondering if you can use vodca mix in this or if you should buy airbrush colors? If anyone knows please let me in on it.

But I am wondering if this is a single or dual action brush. the Cust. Servcs. rep didn't really seem to know.
I like gravity feed better, I've never had much success with siphon feed. I got mine from Airbrush City (they have a website & ebay store). Got a great deal awhile back, compressor and three different airbrushes (1 gravity and 2 siphon feed) for $135.00.
I have the red (adjustable flow) compressor and love it, but I HATE the gravity feed airbrush that I bought with it. Ok, imagine moving your hand around with a bowl of ink sitting on top of it. Yep, slop... dribble... slop. It really annoys me! I wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of my cheap vacuum feed one when I got this one. I loved that little guy! 
Oh boy, are you going to get some very strong opinions on the canned air!! Some people will say go ahead and use it, some people will tell you don't dare! Apparently some (all? I don't know) brands put some sort of mustard gas in it to prevent kids from huffing? I think I am relaying this info correctly. Anyway, I do not know if it is food safe. Some will argue that they see TV chefs using them... but maybe that is a specific food safe brand. Definitely worth looking into if you don't have a compressor and are considering using the cans. Research can never hurt!
I got a GD100 from Airbrush City (off Ebay-cheaper). I don't have a small compressor yet, so my hubby set me up with his small compressor and just put a "regulator" with a moisture filter on it (got from Harbor Fr. for $10-15). He made it so the PSI never goes above 15. It works like a charm. I'm doing my first cupcake batch with it Friday. I never knew you can use ANY compressor as long as it has a regulator!
