So I just bought a cheapo airbrush from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KNDQMM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However the needle and tip that were advertised as "0.2" are labeled in the package "0.25", and the 5 is written by hand next to the 2.

Should I care?

Have you tried it out to see if made a difference?

if the nozzle and needle dont match then you probably want to return or at least ask for some sort of explanation.

No, I thought I'd wait to test it in case I have to send it back. The needle and the tip are marked .25, so they do match, presumably.

They probably ran out of marked tubes or something.

First, I'm going to try to get the seller to just mail me out a 0.2. Is there a noticeable difference between those sizes, a 0.2 and a 0.25, in terms of spray pattern/precision?

Both .2 and .25 are very small. A .35 would probably be more user friendly if this is your first brush.

Oh boy.....

Chalk this up to "tech talk". A .25 is considered a .2, a .15 is considered a .1, a .35 is considered a .3 and so on...Your airbrush is fine, carry on.
