Hi, it may be comming from your air source. What set up do you have?

ok, you may need to get a water trap fitted then. I think its the temp of the air which is causing condensation as it comes though the pipework, then thats being blown out via the airbrush. A water trap should stop this.

Limited experience of airbrushes, but I've found at up to an hour of use I get a lot of water. Water traps do help as long as you remember to press the release valve regularly and blow the coundensation out them. I've got two, one on the compressor and one screwed onto the airbrush between it and the air line.
