We love the look of this coffee table done by Joe Stromski. He took General Finishes Java Gel Stain and used a sprayer to apply the finish. He also used Enduro Pre-Cat to seal in that great color.
Enduro-Var sprays beautifully if the gun is absolutely clean and does not have any other finish residue. Proper cleaning with acetone followed with hot water should purge the fluid passage. Enduro-Var itself will not cause gun failure.
Another possibility is the power of the gun. Some of the lower quality guns can overheat causing the product to cure in the gun - they need a rest once in a while if you are using them all day.
Also note that Enduro-Var ADHERES WELL only over WATER STAINS, DYE STAINS, and RAW WOOD.

Step 1: Prep and Sealing
Enduro White Poly is a professional high-solids, tintable, pigmented water-based wood finish engineered for cabinets and millwork. White Poly is a PFAS-free coating. Use over Enduro White Undercoat or Enduro Stain Blocker is recommended.
The Restoration Hardware look is fantastic, but the price can definitely be a turn off. But GF has good news!
General Finishes Professional Enduro White Undercoat is similar to General Finishes Sanding Sealer with the addition of white colorant to provide a primer undercoat for white/off-white wood finishes. Want to tint to a darker color? Use Enduro Deep Base Primer instead.
A favorite of professional/industrial finishers and OEM manufacturing facilities, Enduro Clear 1K Poly is a premium non-yellowing water-based self-crosslinking polyurethane-fortified topcoat that delivers a clear, tough, durable, and abrasion-resistant finish.
