I've been thinking about getting myself a misting device to use at work because the existing flood coolant on the lathes and mills is both messy and hard to direct, but I'm a bit concerned about how much "overspray" will be hanging around in the air. I bought a cheap ebay one and the smell of coolant is unbearable, but the built in regulator is junk and doesn't work so I don't know if I'll be able to turn down the flow enough to keep the air breathable while still spraying a functional amount of coolant.

So, the question is: if I go all out and buy something good (probably a Noga Mini Cool), will I be able to turn the flow right down or am I stuck with a big cloud of mist no matter what I do?
