I've no idea what you're refering to... all the spray bottles I've
seen are atomizers... same as what some use for applying perfume.
A windex spray bottle is an atomizer, not pressurized. Pressurized
sprayers like hair spray and Pam are atomizers but are not refillable
because they rely on a gaseous propellent rather than a mechanical air
pump. The results are the same, both produce tiny droplets.
I see no benefit to spraying tiny droplets of cooking oil, it's
difficult to control where the droplets go, a lot end up in ones
lungs. Most people who cook for a living contract a respiratory
disease, AKA an occupational illness. It would be smart for
professional cooks to wear a respirator but I've not seen any using
one. Everytime I see young people flipping burgers I think how
they're shortening their lives for a few pennies, once lung tissue is
damaged it does not regenerate.
