So, what do you use the swash for that you don't use the other machines for? Does it have a 'specialty' in your book?

Everything as the Gen 7 has a softer hit than the original Gen 6 but I use a Neo 2.5 for most of my lining except feet and neck I use the Gen 7 so i dont get too much penetration...

its really awesome, i enjoy doing color tattoos and black and gray
i found 9 mags to 13 mags work good with the swash-drive gen 7

i use a gen 1 and a prototype swash for all my large scale japanese work. use my gen 6 for tribal stuff.
i wont line or do black and grey with em, and tend to only use them for larger scale work where the
weight is a real benefit.

I have a gen 5 use for mainly for color or solid fields of tribal. I can do Lining with it or BnG.The early gens had slower motors that take more volts, so they do work good for japenese or color bomb.

I just bought mine and must say i like how smooth it runs, but am still adjusting to it. Our shop has used nothing but coils and i wanted to break out of the mold. Which clips do you use and for what? Did you have to adjust your technique from coils? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I added one to my machine collection. I got one the few limited edition Swashs with Adjustable stroke from Tony in Australia.

Did you get the cast or polymer one Gaston?
