Unhappy Solution or Airspray system?

I'm so confused. We want to add spray tans to our salon but it's so confusing. What is more important - The spray gun system, or the solution that goes into it? Please help!

The solution is important. I dont care what anyone says a cheap gun works as well as a high flootin good one, I paid less for my initial investment and am not crying when its not being used for a day or two

Would either of you go out on a limb and make a recommendation for either piece of equipment.

I bought Turbo Tan it was recommended by another salon owner on the board. I have been very happy with it, and I use Norvell solutions.

I have an AG laser unit (It came with the salon I purchased). But if I had to buy one I would go with glow's advise and get the Turbo Tan unit.

I also use Norvel solution.

Turbo Tan for me also.. bought it on ebay for about $300. I've had it for about 3 years and I'm really happy with mine. It's a little loud. I put it in a small storage/laundry room next to my tanning room and drilled a hole in the wall for the hose. Biddiscombe Legacy solution.

I just purchase a fuji HVLP turbine with their recommended gun. Nice and quit. A little on the heavy side. My wife is mobile and just puts it in a piece of luggage with wheels. Paid approx $800.00 including shipping to Southern California. They are the manufacurers or maybe used to be the manufacturers of the spraytans system for Australian Gold but I purchased it directly from the manufacturer in Canada and paid about half the price. You can reach Paul at paulsmith@fujispray.com If quit is what your looking for this it the one. Our original one was WAY to loud.

We use norvel amber sun dark in the everfresh packaging. We just ordered some Breeze to try because the norvell is more expensive. Norvell is about $130.00 a gallon and Breeze was $85.00 thats includes delivery.

I paid $350 and use it mobile. Takes 5 minutes to do a spray tan....
I really could care less how quiet it is. I was more interested in the return.
