"Factory set" then, in the quote below they call it "fine-tuning". And no, it would not make the Micron useless, it would make it "not factory set" or "not factory fine-tuned". This is what it says on the Anest Iwata website about the Micron;
"In the final stage of production, experienced engineers conduct a spraying test for every airbrush to be shipped. Only those proven to meet our stringent criteria are put on the market."
and
"The nozzle head system, which consists of four parts, undergoes repeated spray testing and fine-tuning until the spray characteristics are as perfect as possible. When the need for parts replacement arises, it is recommended to replace the whole head set (all of the four parts)."

My brand new Micron will not be fine-tuned anymore. I will have to replace a part, through no fault of my own, before I have even sprayed any paint and "factory set/fine-tuned" or not ..... that totally flaming sucks!!!!!!!
I fully expect it to work fine AndreZA otherwise I would NEVER agree to except just a new nozzle, that would be really, really stupid! I know you are only trying to reassure me so thanks for that and for the tips on putting in a new nozzle.
I still don't know if he has heard from Iwata or not so I'm not sure what is going to happen yet.
Sounds familiar. My company blows smoke up peoples asses in order to get sales too.
