Well I don't know about others, but I just use the #3 and #1 needles and tips for my brush. I'm gonna say most ppl just use one size. Usually they are marked in mm. Like #5 is 1.07mm, #3 is .73mm, and #1 is .55mm for the VL series. Most ppl are using the Iwata airbrushes and they have a considerably smaller tip and nozzle. The Iwata HP-CH uses a .3mm or a .2mm nozzle.

I'm going to be investing in a Paasche VSR90 soon. It's a gravity feed with smaller tips and needles thatn the VL.
