Hi all.
Could you tell me anything about Turbo tan T800 hvlp spray tanning system? Anybody uses it?
I choose between this one and maximist. And there are no comments about turbo tan t800.
Thanks in advance,
Nina

That could be because most are using a Maximist.

Anyway I'm going to try it :) It has the same price but goes with different accessories and bonuses.

please let us know what you think. I am thinking about trying it as well as the solution they offer with it.
I am currently using a big name product with a big price attatched and I truly feel I paid for the name ...:( Im now looking into other products.

I own the Turbo Tan t800 and think it's a great sprayer. I bought the accessory package from TC Global and they have been wonderful. I had an issue with my pop up tent, and they sent me a new one with no questions asked. The Ocean spray goes on smoothly and does not streak and has a great odor. It's not all that dark once the bronzer is washed off. I have bought some booster drops to add a bit more dHA to my tans and the color has lasted well over a week. I am looking at some other tanning solutions as the 8.5% Ocean just isn't all that dark for some people. With spring coming, I want to be sure people are happy once the bronzer is gone. I liked how the Turbotan came with extra cups and lots of tanning disposables. I'm new to the business but I'm very happy with the gun and it serves my purpose just fine. PM me if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the post I have been looking at this system also but noticed on their site they said you should only use Ocean products with their equipment. Have you used any other solutions? I think they said other solutions may be too thick for the sprayer. Wonder if anyone else has used different solutions?
I agree they have great pricing but don't want to be locked into one solution.

No, that has not been my experience. I've tried several other products with good results. The tanning solutions have sprayed the same with no clogging or any other issue. From what I remember reading, the Turbotan is made for spray tanning, though I've seen some HVLP sprayers that look almost identical to the ones that are touted as tanning guns. For the price and the add-ons, you really can't go wrong. The Ocean product is great. It does take a few days for the full effect of the spray tan to turn the color one wants. The color after the first shower looks very light, but the DHA does continue to develop and the color is streak free with very little odor. I have ordered other products to try, as well, and the gun has done great. I picked up another gun on ebay for spraying the prep solution. It's nice to have two.

Actually I used it only once. When I bought it, I asked my husband to make it for me. I choosed 8.5% but with dark bronzer. It was awful. I was yellow) I think solutions they offer with tan machine are not good. I'm going to buy other solution. But Turbo Tan is quite good, it spreads evenly.

Golfergal,
I just bought the turbo tan t800 kit. I'm testing it out tomorrow on my best friend. I think it will be great! I have a question though did you get the airbrush tent that comes with the kit? If so I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it back in it's circular bag. Ive tried everything. Also do you use this machine for an airbrush business or just personal use?
