Can a cheap HVLP sprayer really spray latex paint without thinning?

Manufacturer claims of 'no thinning needed' are heavily contested in specialist communities. Threads on r/woodworking and r/paint repeatedly note that thick latex paints often need at least some thinning even on units rated for unthinned material, and that nozzle choice matters as much as motor wattage. Plan on doing test sprays and possibly thinning 10–20% regardless of what the box claims.
