Trying to be the best me, I can be
Epoxy isn't like traditional primers. I have would have no qualms spraying with that gun. It cleans up well too. Use a good quality wash thinner from a paint jobber(not stuff you get at HD or Lowes), then follow up with some urethane reducer.I find that epoxy is more difficult to clean and personally don’t want to contaminate the guns. One less hassle later. I do use an ultrasonic cleaner after cleaning the guns by hand.
Also the ProLite gun is a high efficiency gun with the TE20 cap. I don't know anyone using a high efficiency gun for primer?
As for your issue I agree with Jim. If you are getting droplets that tells me your gun is having issues or your air pressure is too low. First thing to try is to turn up your air pressure. Keep turning it up till you see it atomizing nicely on a test piece, masking paper or similar.
