I use this air compressor with my H series: http://www.amazon.com/Airbrush-Depot-AIRBRUSH-COMPRESSOR-REGULATOR/dp/B0038D79DC
It is very loud, however I have it setup in my wood shop so it blends right in. I also have it plugged in to a power strip with my fan, water pump and laser so it reminds me if I haven't powered everything down. I have about 230 hours on it and run it for 5 - 6 hours at a time during busy season with no issues.
Please note that if you go with something like this it will not work out of the box. There is a quick disconnect that is on the back of the laser that you need a special connector for. I ended up getting a section of plastic tubing that fits over the whole thing since I didn't want to wait ordering it from somewhere. It has worked well so I never replaced it.
Did you get a small one like this, or maybe similar but with a tank? I've got the tanked version and yeah, it gets pretty warm after 30-60 minutes of spraying. Without the tank, the compressor will run non-stop and is going to build up some heat. At least with the tank, it cycles on and off. I think that's just the nature of the beast. Set up a fan to blow across the pump cylinder head and let the compressor rest from time to time if it concerns you. I wish I could tell you not to worry about it at all (maybe they're built for continuous abuse), but I try to play it safe with mine. In short, yes, I have the same experience.
