Team Adam's Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looking for your input on our sprayer offerings. After the not so popular sprayer that was used with the launch of tire shine we've switch to the current style (B pictured below). For those of us who have been with us for awhile you'll likely remember our original sprayer (A pictured below). For those of you who have had the chance to use both sprayers below - which would you prefer as the stock sprayer for the products? Please vote in the poll and let your opinion be known.

Ricky Bobby Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) B Please please pretty please keep it! A is nowhere near heavy duty enough and gets clogged easily and breaks too easy if a bottle is ripped. Having had A, and the clear/black one pictured on the website as well, these current B sprayers are the best ones you guys have sold yet. I just bought like 12 of them for all my bottles and to have a couple spares. Edited January 7, 2015 by Ricky Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen9Rolla Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Haven't had a chance to use B but I was never a big fan of the A style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will! Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Definitely option B. The original sprayers like Jason mentioned just don't stand up to the use nearly as well as option b. Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 B for sure, way more durable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I like "B" best also. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZGTO Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I always liked the clear grey sprayers with the rubber grip Goatman06 and DieselDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCurse Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 A for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron@P2PQD Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I still have bottles with both, and to be honest I find the B is more sturdy. A's used to leak sometimes which the B's don't seem to do Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDude Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I always liked the clear grey sprayers with the rubber grip I had my first one stop working. I think someone was using it too much and it was not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 The only reason we're entertaining this is we do get some complaints that the mist on B (aka the Mixor) isn't fine enough - sprayer A (the TS800) does have a much finer and more even mist pattern.

TheBurninator Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The "B" style ones have better spray pattern and feel to them when you pull the trigger Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the volume per spray of each sprayer? I assume the "b" sprayer has a bit more per trigger pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 They're available in a number of volumes each, we typically use the middle of the road for each which is 0.9 for A and 1.3 for B. B is available down to 1.0, but then the sloppy spray pattern seems even worse b/c the volume is so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I'll sacrifice a tiny bit of misting for better durability and more solid construction. I've used the B sprayers with Undercarriage Spray which is one of the hardest to spray evenly because its a bit more viscous/oily, and it honestly sprayed worlds better than the A ever did, very evenly. If the TS800 came in a more durable version I'd be ok with it, but if its the same as in past its way too light duty.

It has a nice pattern and feels like a solid spray when you pull the trigger. I've killed too many of the "A" type sprayers that have hardly been used. It has gotten to the point where I started researching new bottles and sprayers that could hold up to a bit more abuse and hold more product. (I'm not a fan of the empty 36OZ bottle shape, a bit difficult to hold when full) Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 So it looks like its pretty much a landslide for the sprayers we're currently using - we'll stick with those. landshark and Ricky Bobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccommodari Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 i like A a lot, any chance to offer both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyBoy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I wish there was an option for a foaming sprayer . I love using a foaming sprayer when cleaning my tires. Yes, it does use more product, but it clings to the tires better. I really liked the one that came with my 36oz bottle of APC. I am currently using one made by Tolco that just work "ok". I think the Adams one put out a thicker foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 i like A a lot, any chance to offer both? Logistically not really. Ordering 2 types of sprayers in cuts the volumes of each in half, raising our prices (and ultimately yours) and also creates some headaches in shipping.

ccommodari Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) oh. well its a shame that you will only carry B sprayers even though it sprays pretty bad in my opinion. Any possible way I could get the (A) sprayers through maybe you or a reseller who sells Adams? Edited January 7, 2015 by ccommodari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 We won't be stocking them, but maybe someone would like to unload their old sprayers, especially since so many people here seem to prefer option B - theres bound to be someone who has A and wants B.

PHOKUS Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The only reason we're entertaining this is we do get some complaints that the mist on B (aka the Mixor) isn't fine enough - sprayer A (the TS800) does have a much finer and more even mist pattern. Just wanted to toss my hat in the ring. I really like the compactness and spray pattern of 'A', when it works, and doesn't leak, and doesn't break. I really like the durability and haven't had a single 'B' sprayer leak yet, but they are too tall for my detail bag and the spray pattern isn't nearly as controllable as 'A'. I realize cost is always a factor, but surely an American manufacturer exists that can provide both the compactness and spray pattern we desire along with the ruggedness we expect at a comparable price.
