Shop tips has become one of my favorite aspects of Tested. Thanks guys.
When a spray can was used up, I would toss the nozzle into a jar of mineral sprits as a place to collect them. The mineral spirits is mellow enough it isn’t going to dissolve the plastic of the nozzle, but should keep the tip clean. So when I need a tip I have a jar of them.
These designer spray cans with custom tips are new to me. Thanks as usual for the esoterica.
Found this chart on the web. Anyone have a better one?

excellent link!
The quickest and easiest way to keep the tip clean and clog free
is to turn the can upside down and give it a quick shot,
you will see a little paint come out and then just the gas, then wipe the tip off with a rag
This will ensure that the tip is free of paint, and ready to go for the next time
You know, if you want to spend a bit less on the caps, just get an ultra sonic cleaner…water with a few drips of a paint stripper works great at keeping them clean…same as with airbrush parts.
