What is this you might be asking? Well what is up youtube, I'm Sciz1. today
we're going to take a look at the wing cap / cap adapter. This is a tool that
allows you to use mail valve spray cans with male
caps as well. Yes, that's right, it allows you to use
male caps such as the new york fat cap here, a classic,
with a male valve like this on a spray can. Of course this is a tool you're
going to be using with those cheap spray cans you get from your hardware
store, anything like that, not these artistic brand spray paints.
And this tool is designed to save you a lot of money if you're going to be doing
a ton of pieces and you don't necessarily always want to use
the highest quality paint. So, step one,
put your new york fat on there and step two now,
screw that right down there and you are ready to go believe it or not.
And the question you should be asking is how well does this work,
because not only are we here to see how this performs today but we're also here
to see how this performs compared to just using
the normal cap without a cap adapter on a normal
female valved can. The spray patterns may differ a little bit when using these two
different options so i want to show you guys exactly how
they differ today on our little surface behind me here.
To do that first we're going to test this out with some spray patterns, some
tags, then we'll compare with this. This is
black. This is white. You'll always know which is which.
And after that maybe we'll do a throwie, a fill-in, an outline,
something like that to really emphasize how these spray.
Also, being that these can save you a lot of money if you are
to just pick up some cheaper paint rather than always buying the nice
graffiti spray paints, this can save you a lot of money. So
if you are interested in picking one of these up check the link below in the
description i have where i found a good deal on a cap
adapter and some ny fats! So first things first here
guys. I just have the stock cap on this crappy can of spray paint
just to show you how it sprays.
What you'd expect -not the cleanest lines here even on these ones you can see bit
of spray deviation there. You're getting a little fuzzy line even when you get
real close. That's about as good as it gets with
these crappy stock caps. So time to see what the adapter can
improve on. This tool is pretty interesting here. Look at this.
You can use it just like that. You don't even have to be pressing on the top
because it's actually tall enough once you have the cap
adapter on here that it's a bit of a pain to
to grab there, so you have to get used to using it like this and actually it's
sort of a fun way to use spray cans.
Look at that improvement right away. That's insane. Just look at the
difference there. You don't realize how good this looks until
you look at how bad this looks. That's just a normal new york fat
cap adapted. Since we could already see an improvement using the cap adapter
on a cheap spray can let's see what an ny fat can do on an actual nice flame
orange can.
You know, I actually have to say i know a normal
like a flame orange spray can at least you get a bit better atomization as
you're seeing here with just that quick stroke and the
output is much higher here. But this is a very nice
blanket output. It's a nice high output that's filling an area just the way it's
supposed to so the cap adapter really really does
give you some great options in terms of using caps like that. But we don't just
want to test out a new york fat here! What we're also interested in
is seeing what a german skinny pro can do on the
cap adapter. Now your cans look a little funny when you have to put the caps on
here like this but trust me it does work. I'll prove it to
you while i give Kurb a shout out. He asked for a shout out in one of my
last videos!
So to be honest here this isn't adapting incredibly well
with a skinny cap. You're getting a bit of a almost a chisel effect
out of this cap and trust me you're not supposed to have that on a german skinny
pro here, as i'm sure all of you know. If i just lay down a few solid lines
here you can see what they look like.
You can see the size difference in line thickness from when i did one with the
can vertical and one with the can horizontal.
So you are getting a bit of that effect and i did hold them
roughly the same length away from this actual surface,
so the these cap adapters i think what the lesson is here is
they might be slightly better for using on say
fill-ins or with larger caps rather than trying to use them for an outline. You
might almost be better off just using a stock cap on
one of these if you're going to try and use it for
an outline that is. But just to compare i will use it on the flame orange as
well without the cap adapter. Let's say hi to Krill, he asked for a
shoutout.
Okay guys, you know what? I take it back; there's a bit of a chisel effect on this
particular cap so i think it's just the german skinny pro that we're using here.
See this is why we tested out with this as well -so we can see these side by side.
Really this one i was holding it fairly far away.
The stock can / the hardware store can that we're using here,
fairly high output so it is really blasting that paint onto the surface.
Part of what the adapter does is it does get rid of a little bit of the
controllability of the normal cap on can type thing that you're
getting so you will have to work with it a little bit more
proficiently you can say if you're gonna use the cap adapter,
especially with a skinny cap. But i do want to put just a couple more tags down
to let you guys see more specifically how this works with a fat cap
and then after that we will do a throwie with a fill-in using this
and maybe try the outline with the other one since it's a nice black-white combo.
So let's hit up Meow. She wanted a hit-off.
Let's give Kaoni a hit-off too.
Massive overspray in a small area by the way. So as i do this throw up here i'll
show you how this cap fills in, how well it fills-in
how well you can actually use it for something practical because that's what
we really want to test here. We're not all just going to be
throwing down tags with cheap paint. If you're buying cheap paint
it's likely to save a lot of money because you're buying a lot of spray
paint. And if you're buying a lot of spray paint it means you're doing a lot
of pieces. So we want to see how this gets used and
how it performs specifically when we're trying to do at least a throw
up or something like that.
I can tell you right now it really adapts like a normal spray can and
that's exactly what you need here.
So yes, that was a very quick throw up obviously but i do want to mention that
i felt totally able to control this can. A lot
of people think that this isn't the greatest
format to be using a spray can when you have to use two fingers like this
as opposed to the normal one finger spray but it's actually quite
controllable and i felt like i had total control
over the can. I don't really use these too often. I'm not usually using hardware
store stock paint brands, but it's not something that takes a long time to get
used to. Very comfortable on your fingers right
away. Also the output is of course entirely dependent on the
valve system of the can. But that being said, it did feel quite
controllable and you do get noticeable noticeable
differences with the cap adapter and any other cap
compared to the stock cap. So that's very very important. At the end of the day
what i do want to emphasize is that this cap adapter does
make a very big difference and it makes a very big positive difference at that.
Of course it's not going to be 100% as good as just
using a female valve system can with a male cap
but it's almost as good and honestly if the valve systems in these crappy cans
were just a little bit better, it would be as
good. So that's really that's the main difference. I hope i was able to show you
that these are actually quite worthwhile. They're an
incredibly nice tool. It would have been nice if these came out like
10-15 years before they did when writers were still
using these stock cans from hardware stores or wherever they could find them
more to the point! But this is still a tool that can save you a lot of money.
There are other kinds you can buy too, without these wings on the side, but i
find this quite comfortable to use. If you're new to the channel, i do have a
lot of different cap reviews on the channel. I'll leave some on screen
for you to check out. I do other product reviews on the channel. I
showcase some of my work as well. If you feel like it look around see if
you like anything. Maybe subscribe? until my next one, peace!
