Just put some water in it and play around. Sounds like your not doing something right. Paaches are pretty simple.
What do you mean it didn't come with an adapter? For air tank? For propellant can?
Old addage.."If at first you don't succeed, read the directions!''
I'm not familiar with ''pache'' airbrushes...I am familiar with Passche brushes, and if this is indeed what you have, more info is needed.
I don't recall if my H set came with a plastic tip protector [I got it 20+ years ago], but my VL brush had a plastic tip to protect the needle, and you have to remove this before it will work.
If you give us more info we can most likely save you a trip to the LHS.
I hate my Hair brush too!!!!
LOL
I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
Ya a little more info would be handy...plus, hate to bring it up, but did you read the directions??
Could be it works differently than other airbrushes you're used to. On some airbrushes you push down on the trigger to get air flowing, and pull back on it to allow paint to go thru. On others you push down the trigger to start the air, then manually have to adjust something to let the paint thru to the desired amount. Are you sure it's getting air thru to the airbrush?? Is the suction tube sucking up the paint...is the tube attached properly?? Lot of possibilities.
I'd load it up with water and experiment a bit.
Can you be a little more specific than "It didn't work"? Did air go through the needle? Did you try spraying water through the airbrush to test if it was working?

Research; it's not just for geeks.
