DAE switch from flood coolant to mist and never look back?

I ran a Haas VF-2 for about 3 years always using flood coolant, figuring that was the only way to keep things cool. Then about 6 months ago I tried a mist setup on a tricky aluminum job where chips were piling up way too fast. Now I barely clean the machine and the finish is actually better on most parts. Anybody else make that switch and find it works for certain materials?

Is mist really THAT much better or are you just overhyping a simple change?

Mist completely changed my morning routine lol, absolutely worth it.

Is it just me or does that kind of thinking apply to a lot of things people overcomplicate?
