Hi there :)
Recent my airbrush just completely stopped having an output of air
With the compressor on and trigger depressed you can hear airflow, but none physically detectable from the front, back (when removed) or paint cup

After thoroughly stripping and cleaning the brush down to all separate pieces and ensuring completely clear of blockage, to no avail, I watched some videos and realised the PTFE seal nozzle was missing from my airbrush

As this component screws into the body I’m not sure how this could’ve fallen out and been misplaced, but I had no knowledge of it existing so didn’t know to look for it

I’ve ordered a replacement one, but cannot seem to get it to connect to a thread inside the body of the brush
The PTFE seal nozzle will not screw in essentially, so continues to fall out and will not create a seal

Has anyone had this experience?
Not sure what I’m doing wrong
TIA :)
