So, I've been using this machine, daily for about a month now and wanted to share my thoughts on it.
Firstly, Dan, from vital contacted me a couple of times before shipment to clarify some details. He was friendly and professional. Something that counts for a lot, in my book.
Machine arrived, well packaged, with an Allen key, spare O-rings and a cartridge pusher bar.
I got mine with the 3.7mm cam and was really impressed with the versatility of this machine. The vice holds standard tubes and cart tubes super firmly. It runs smooth and virtually silent.
It handles standard needles and carts just like you'd expect a well made ODD to. Lining, shading, blending and packing are all possible and relatively easy to accomplish.
Switching to the adapter for the Inkjecta give bars with Cheyenne tubes is easy and adds even more versatility. It'll run just about any grouping with no problems at all. Plus, a standard clip cord sleeve will fit over the entire machine. And the body is autoclaveable.
The motor does have a lot of torque. Starts with T-Tecs around 3v. I've been running mine around 6.5-8v for just about everything. Lots of punchy power.
Overall, this is a very well made machine that offers a lot of options, runs smoothly and, considering the price ($375), is a fantastic addition to my daily runners.
Thanks, guys! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/13/224732d9252826f12f1d8efd5a94ff98.jpg
