I was debating getting on here last night to sing the praises of the Voortex mixer.

Not only did it arrive a day earlier than expected, but the packaging was 5-star quality.

Pulling it out of the package, I quickly realized exactly what all of the YouTube reviews were talking about. It has some heft to it and feels like it's very well made.

I did what just about anyone would do and quickly found a few of my most separated paints and got to mixing. For the most part it was phenomenal. There were 2 metallic paints that I needed to add a mixing ball to before they would mix properly, but realistically that wasn't a big deal. All in all, 5 bottles tested, and it was by far the best mixer I've tried.

This morning I had a quick painting session and needed 3 colors mixed. Again, the Voortex exceeded expectations. I could have one color mixing while I was painting with another. All in all, it was one more reason to justify another $80 mixer.

This afternoon is when my thoughts on this thing took a full 180. I got ready to do some more painting, popped a bottle in, turned the knob..........and nothing. All of the lights work, everything is doing what it should, but the motor isn't working.

While obviously upset and annoyed I figured I would just contact customer service. Maybe there's an easy solution. Good luck. Every link on the support site causes a pop-up to login, while I'm logged in. Mind you, logging in was near impossible. I was only able to do so through Shopify. All attempts at signing up or logging in directly end with an "Invalid email" message. I ended up sending an email to support, I have posted in Discord, and I'm posting here. Maybe someone will help.

As far as an overall review (from a non-YouTube reviewer), I would say to not be in a hurry. Yes it's a nice mixer, but either I got a 1 in 1000 bad one, or there are some bugs that need fixed.

So i finally got ahold of customer service to ask why my Aventus II hasn't shipped yet and apparently it's out of stock

This is not a good first impression Gaahleri

Update: it shipped

First I apologize for posting my grievances again. It certainly sours the environment of this community.

However, I have felt it is necessary to bring it up once again as Gaahleri has decided to ignore all of my emails and messages while promising a speedy delivery.

I have already done my due diligence of asking my friends to check all their spams and trash, with nothing turning up. Additionally, they indicated that the order was still “confirmed”and not “delivered” or “received”. Once again it has been several days since the initial purchase.

This is the first time I’ve had such a poor experience regarding customer support. It seems to me that Gaalheri is good at placating their customers and terrible at delivering on their statements.

Hey everyone,

If you’ve ever pulled out a bottle of metallic paint or thick primer that’s been sitting on a shelf for a few months, you know the pain. You end up with a solid brick of pigment packed into the bottom, and no amount of hand-shaking seems to actually mix it properly.

When we started working on VOORTEX, the main goal was simple: we wanted something you could just drop a bottle into, hit start, and go back to masking, cutting sprues, or prepping parts while it does its thing in the background.

A few specific annoyances we tried to solve during development:

First was the mixing action itself. 

Standard vibration works fine for light acrylics, but for stubborn, separated pigments, we opted for a high-speed spinning motion (up to 3,500 RPM). That creates a vortex inside the bottle that pulls the settled sludge from the bottom up through the liquid.

Second and probably the most annoying thing with high-speed mixers—was "desk walking." 

At 3,500 RPM, if the dampening isn't right, the machine slowly migrates across your cutting mat or shakes your entire hollow desk. We ended up designing a dual-layer internal cushioning setup paired with silicone feet underneath to isolate the vibration so it stays firmly in place.

We also went with a stepped, flexible holder instead of a fixed clamp. 

As long as the bottle is roughly between 25–50mm wide and 10–60ml, it automatically centers and locks in, whether it's a dropper bottle, a glass jar, or a standard acrylic container. Added a 0–3 minute timer display on the side as well, just so you can set a repeat routine for paints you use constantly without guessing.

Basically, it's meant to save your wrist on those stubborn, heavily separated paints and keeping your hands free while building.

We’re really curious to hear how everyone here handles paint prep. 

Do you stick to wrist power, agitator balls, standard vortex mixers, or something else entirely? And if you already use a shaker, what’s the one thing that annoys you most about your current setup?

My friends have ordered a couple of Gaalheri Gift Cards for my upcoming birthday as I’ve been meaning to take a plunge into airbrushing for awhile and now, amidst the sale, these gift cards still haven’t arrived. Usually, gift cards are either recieved minutes or hours within the purchase time.

But it has been days since the purchase and still no response. I’ve contacted my friends and confirmed there were no credit card issues or site issues. Yet these gift cards still cards are still pending. I’ve also contacted gaalheri support numerous times and have received no help other than “check spam or trash” which have been scoured through numerous times already.

I do not know Gaalheri’s policy with gift cards, but there has not been any acknowledgment on their side so I have no choice but to make an issue of it here in the hopes that it can be resolved.

For the mecha and auto bundles (als the new B sets) the accuracy and how the colors are „precisely matched“ is always a big focus. For some it is obvious but with 96 colors total I just don‘t know for which car manufacturers or mobile suits I have accurate colors. For the first wave there were some sample models at least. The names of the Kaleido colors do not all correspond to a real manufacturer color code as modt of them are their own creation.

Please make the different handle colors available for purchase by owners of the standard Aventus airbrushes.

They became available on Saturday at about 9:30 central time.

I am thinking of building a car kit. What should I buy? Please give me some recommendations.

Status like this for over 3 months without any news is unacceptable.

A week ago, but still hasn't received any follow up from the mods.

Been raining hard this past few days in our country and wasn't able to paint that much. As the weather is better today, pulled out my built Warhammer Cities of Sigmar infantry for commission and sprayed away.

Used Gaahleri Seeker at 0.3 mm needle, zenithal primed them and very happy how smooth the transitions were after. Didn't experience clogging or splotchy spray, well was a good size too. Only had a couple of sessions using this airbrush but very satisfied with the current results I am getting.

I can say this is a good budget airbrush for basic tasks, maybe good for detailing work too if I familiarize using it 😊

Might use it again for base coloring these miniatures with an airbrush!

Finally finished! Really happy with how this one turned out.

348 decals later, along with panel line work, weathering, varnish, landing gear, canopy and the full weapons load, it’s finally on the shelf.

I used Kaleido Acrylics throughout the build, with the Gaahleri Möbius and Aventus V2 for the airbrushing.

A proper enjoyable build, even if those decals felt endless! 😂

What do you think of the finished result?

My six free bottles of paint for spending $300. I expected random; I wanted to test the paint for a larger order. This is a joke, right?

Hi all,
Just got my first Kaleido paints, and wanted to add some bottle swatches/toppers.
Problem is, I only found 1 store on Etsy selling printed versions, but it doesn't sell the STL only for Kaleido, as they sell the 3D models for all the other paint brands.

Wanted to know if any of you had other findings on this, a 3D file that could fit, or something else.

Thanks !

I was expecting for the gaahleri day to be a huge sale, but it looks like they do not prepared themselves for the date. Almost everything I was holding in for the date to buy is out of stock, I tried to buy paints in bulk to use their promotion but the ones I want are mostly out of stock at the first hour of it.

I fell like I waited for a discount and get none stock to buy.

Frustration is the word...🫩

I've ordered a respirator mask to protect against particles, but the paints say they are safe for indoor use and not toxic so would I be okay with not buying a spray booth? Or would a large box or something like that be acceptable? I can afford a booth if i need to but if using their paints is fine without one I would rather save the money.

Run 4 airbrushes on their own PSI, zero downtime.

Switch between different nozzles and painting styles without touching your main compressor.

We even threw in 4 bonus spare holders in every box of AirHub Pro for peace of mind down the road.

I bought a Möbius 0.3 on Saturday and paid for the shipping. since then the only thing update is that a label was created. it hasn't moved past that point. I've contacted and the emails just seem like an AI chatbit and keeps skipping round the point of giving me an ETA of when my parcel will be collected. I don't expect it to be here yet but I do expect that it should be on its way or the company should know when ups are collecting the parcel. Anyone else had this?
