[TheForge] Sandblasting nozzles

Is he talking about the ceramic tip or the ball valve?
I went through my first ball valve in 20 minutes. It seems if you try to
adjust the flow with the final ball valve it will eat the ball inside very
quickly. I learned all the way on or all the way off. Adjust the air flow
not the final valve where the sand comes out.
