That is the same type I use. It works great, no issues. I bought mine from Aliexpress for under $15, free shipping, takes weeks to arrive. Many vendors sell the same product, just look at the prices, the fine print, and the vendor reviews.I have (had) a Kool Mist. Hated the adjustments. Seemed like I was always tweaking it. It never started with the same flows. I got one of the cheap, "two-valves on the body" ones on eBay. Absolutely love it. Bob is right, you want small beads of coolant, not a fine mist. There a lot of these out there. This is the one I got:

I will probably buy two more sets at that price, one for the lathe, and one for the mill. I have factory flood coolant on my lathe, but the only thing that has ever been in the reservoir tank is dust. Flood coolant is too messy and eventually stinky in a home shop, IMO. Mist coolant, no problems, works just fine.
