What happens here

This video addresses a common question regarding the compatibility of an airless paint sprayer hose whip with an additional, smaller whip. The host explains that a 25-foot or 50-foot airless hose whip already features a reduced inner diameter for flexibility and lower paint load, effectively acting as a whip itself. Adding a secondary, even smaller diameter whip (like the Swiss ExitFlex whip) to it is not recommended as it causes significant pressure issues, leading to improper sprayer function and paint spitting.
