Problem with airbrush

Hi all
I ve been having problems with my airbrush lately. Its hot and humid here in grèece these days and i can spray for a minute before the ab starts to clog. I also noticed that when done when i block the front so that air moves to the cup the cleaner wont make any bubbles so air doesnt flow back. I now dissmantle and clean the ab thoroughly after each paint session which is ok with me but i cant stand not being able to have a good painting session. Any advice? I use vallejo model air and metallic and ab cleaner window cleaner and Ultimate cleaner.

add some flow enhancer / retarder to your paint . and have a sponge near you. Watch this ....

Do you have Ultimate thinner, that will help you a lot and has everything in it you require to stop the tip drying.
