Ok, the vendor I ordered my airbrush compressor from screwed up and it's been a week and a half, so I cancelled the order and went down to Harbor Freight and got a better deal on a slightly bigger compressor. I brought my airbrush and hose down there to make sure I got everything I needed. However, the fellow there said they don't have a quick disconnect that will fit on the airbrush side of the hose, just the compressor side. Is that all I need or do I need to go somewhere else to get a QD for the airbrush side? Also, this is the moisture trap they gave me (http://www.harborfreight.com/Disposable-Inline-Moisture-Filter-68224.html)...it doesn't look like any of the traps I've seen on any airbrush sites...will this work or do I need to take that back and get one of those that has the clear little jar on it? And lastly, as far as teflon tape for the connections...do I just need that on the QD parts? the thread on the airbrush itself doesn't look big enough to put tape on it.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT*** For the trap would something like this be more suitable? http://www.harborfreight.com/Mini-Air-Line-Filter-68225.html

It is a cheaply made inline trap. They work okay, but the second kind you posted is the preferred moisture trap. Keep in mind that people who work in climates with high humidity will sometimes use two moisture traps.

As far as Teflon tape goes, if your hoses or joints have any type of gasket in them, tape usually won't be necessary. A lot of times the hose have paper gaskets (which are the best) so a couple of wraps of tape won't hurt, just be sure to keep the tape two threads or so from the end of the fitting to prevent and shreds of tape entering hose.

Sounds good, thanks!
