If you have any that are just gathering dust, let me know -- US only.

I used them a long time ago but got tired of buying them again and again. Now, I settled for a small air compressor and am very pleased with that solution.

Do you have any filter or air dryer equipment with your air compressor? I really dislike the canned air because the pressure isn't great and if you tilt the can it spary liquid.

Not sure what's in these cans. If it's an ozone depleting chemical it's illegal to sell, probably wouldn't get FBI attention, but you never know. The phrase "don't make a federal case out of it!" comes to mind.

The Freon (ozone depleting chemical) is long gone from canned air.
I assume that the OP is looking for the cans that used a separate nozzle attachment (sold under many names, not just Beseler).
I get my canned air from Office Depot these days- but I use very little of it.

If the OP wants the nozzle Falcon Safety Products still sell them. I think the Beseler ones were made by Falcon.

Thanks for that useful tip. I'll check to see if the stuff at Office Depot uses the same screw-in nozzle.

I mostly use the NON-freon, NON-Ozone, DUST GUN for NON-photographic purposes (computer guts, auto repair, etc.), but they are handy for getting dust out of hard to reach places on cameras and lenses. Much better than lugging around and plugging in my air compressor.

I have a desktop devise with a refillable can. The can has a Schrader valve on the bottom which mates to the compressor port. Press the can down and it fills with up to 100psi. Bought the thing at a thrift store for $7 several years ago.

 

[Chan Tran]

If you fill the can with 100PSI of plain air it would work for very short time. The canned air use some kind of gas that when compressed it turns to liquid and thus can keep the pressure for much longer.

That Re-Air is a nice device, but INSTRUCTABLES has a better way -- just glue a standard tire valve on the side of the air can, and fill it up endlessly, for free. You can use a hand pump or an air compressor.

Yes but if you fill it with just plain air it doesn't last long. Only good for a few blast the pressure goes down rapidly. I've done it before with much larger tank and still can't hold the pressure for long. I have no problem getting an air compressor for the job but the problem is how to make sure the air is clean.

 

[xkaes]

For most jobs, I only need a few blasts, and filling a reusable can from my compressor is easy. And a small can is so much better regarding portability. I've got my compressor when I need pressure for a long time -- like with air-brushing.

How do you make sure that the air is clean?

Air dryers and water separators are very common.
My brother used a simple in-line device on his airbrush and never had a spatter.

I don't know. Where I work we have big air dryer but still at times we have water in the air.

Something like this is great for a compressor that doesn't need to move around. Obviously there are many versions, and the parts and pieces get bigger and more expensive when you need to run higher air volume. We have an air tool retailer out here that sells a steel basket filter assembly for use in the field. Keeping the compressor at an even temp and draining the tank after use can minimize condensation.

I've never looked into them, but I wonder if a decent airbrush compressor puts out enough pressure to be good in cleaning electronics and cameras?

With an airbrush compressor, you'd want a reserve tank to get a good jet of air.
Otherwise, you getting only air compressed into the air line.

If there a nozzle I can pick up for my small air brush compressor? Just curious.

It was once sold by Calumet and has an air filter built in.
