Just wondering who out there is using a Devilbiss Tekna. What are your thoughts on it? What products do you spray (and which air cap and nozzle size)?
I’ve seen one once, but never had the opportunity to spray with one.
lookin for a new gun?
get my pm on billing?I have one. Pretty nice gun. I use it for waterborne basecoat. I have used it for clear also with good results.
The only aircap worth having is the 7E7. The other two suck. Mine came with a 1.2 and 1.3 nozzle and I bought a 1.4. Replacements are cheap, the nozzle is around $100. With the 7E7 it sprays alot like my RP. Not quite as good but very close.
Timbo, no I haven’t received it.

I am considering one as a base gun (water). Do you find metallic orientation ok with the 7E7 aircap? I figured that setup might be a little overkill.It’s the only setup I would consider for water. The other aircaps dont atomize very good at all. That may work with solvent base but not as well with water. The 7E7 works best for water. I dont know of anyone who actually uses the other aircaps.
i won a tekna last year off this site and ive been using it with the 7e7 cap since. i havent used it for water yet but ive used it for color and clear without any disappointment yet. its actually the best gun ive used and before i bought an rp i was considering buying a second one. i tried the 909 air cap a couple times but the 7E7 works better in my perspective. its definitely worth its price tag. the only thing id do is ditch the cup and get a dekups system for it instead. i think i have an old thread about it.
I love the Tekna! I use the iwata lph 400, and I like the Tekna better. I use Diamont rm and it works great for base and clear. As for water i couldnt tell ya. Im actually gonna buy 2 more. :dnc
I dont have the Tekna but I LUV MY DEVILBISS PLUS.I use the 1.4 with clear.I use a SHARPE SGF98 hvlp for base w/a1.3 tip
