Last year I swapped from my airbrush compressor to my larger 2 stage 30gal shop compressor. I was getting wicked water issues out of the little airbrush compressor.
Using the larger compressor I go straight into a simple little airbrush bench mount filter regulator. I never has any issues with water but I still want to upgrade my filtration.

I read all these posts about big piping setups etc and That is a little overkill for me because the compressor sits right next to the airbrush booth.
I was looking at something like the devillbiss qg3 or something like that but i read that in a garage/humid environment it can get saturated quickly.

What filter/regulator/dryer could you guys recommend if i'm only using airbrushes and my lph80 gun?

You still need the Pipe system to cool the air about 20 feet of pipe so the water will condense and be allowed to be Trapped in a water Trap then onto a air filter.
