New Stigma?

[Bishopbyname]

These machines are still a bit mysterious? I know they're new(ish) but i've heard zero feedback about these since they were released? There must be a fair few being used. Anybody got anything to add?

The same goes with the new carts ment to been out 6 months ago. I think how many machines plus the carts system was a little on the ambition side of things?

Killer Ink have only been selling them for about a month. It's obviously going to take a lot of time to get their positive feedback far enough to be as popular as Cheyenne. It does seem as though they've just came out with their version of a lot of other successful machines. Kind of similar to what Kwadron has recently done. At least the carts are a different system entirely and not just a copy of other company's.

I would love to hear reviews on those carts!

They do have to be used with Stigma grips though of course.

I could be wrong but after the backlash against Cheyenne for being so insistent on only using their carts with their machines. To the point of voiding warranties and suing other cartridge makers, having carts that are proprietary to one type of grip or machine seems like a step backwards.
I think tattooers, especially those of us who own multiple machines, want more options not less. Plus, we've all dealt with our favorite cart makers running out of stock and had to order from another company. Not an option here.
I could be wrong. Maybe Stigma's new carts and machines are head and shoulders above the rest. But unless I got rid of all my other machines and carts and exclusively used Stigma products, this really seems like a stretch.

you need a special grip thats sold seperatly with and without click adjustment like the cheyenne -with this you can the stigma carts on every machine use. The pen stigma rotary is the only machine from stigma that use the stigma cart system exclusive. All other work over the grip that you can use or a fki cart grip. The soldier is my favorit because the brushless motor and the stroke is over a magnetic cam to change in secounds. The carts are nice ,very good needles ,perfect ink flow and its very nice to to be able to rotate the cart and not the machine -so mach improvmentis possible in the way to tattoo and no one bad cart in the box. But i have a fki grip to when some stigmas are out .

Can the cheyenne twist grips screw on the soldier? Is the soldier machine loud or quiet?

[jasonadelinia]

Hey Micha, how do you find the twisting carts? My worry with these would be that they may pop out easily as they aren't twisted in? Do you thing the grip of just the o-ring is strong enough?

[darkness]

i have never issue that the cart is poping out -with cheyenne some carts pops.. Only with the john clark and a stroke of 5.5 its pops.

[hellraiser6662]

I think the problem is getting a grip is £125 then having to buy just their carts... when you can buy a fk grip for little less and you can use every other cart going, hundreds over one hum the idea is dead in the water i think. Making a grip that takes both would have been the better move. I would have gone for that but not this way is a costly risk if you dont like their carts...

This will fail because of the proprietary cartridges. Whomever made that decision should be fired.

I really wanted to test theyr carts... theyr new and different and im all about testing these things :D So i bought a fixed grip from killerink wich is like 28-30 Quidd, and a few boxes of cartridges... It didnt fit my Inkjecta nano because the bars on the inkjecta are to thick to fit thru that tube :( but i managed to run it with my edge x ...
I gotta say they are really nice... you can hold the needle almost from the tip now, its like the cartridge is really well connected to the grip and they both had a flow together... So far it dosent seem like it will pop out or spin around in the grip ... they seem to be very sturdy fixed to the grip ... Needles are very very sharp, at first i didnt liked them because of that... i felt like thye were scratching the skin too much and didnt saturate as well.. but after a few minutes of use i got really used with them... I gotta say i really like this cartridge system ... except the spring in the cartridge.. i dont know why that doesent give me too much confidence :D i think they wouldve been better of with normal internat membrane ...

I just bought the stigma soldier and it's gonna take a few tattoos to get used too but it is kind of a louder machine, or maybe it's just the cart, it blends nicely though

Does the stigma soldier have a slight delay when depressing the foot switch due to the brushless motor?I have a ray and think the cartridges are better than any other cartridge brand out there.Would love to try the soldier but a brushless motor delay would put me off��

Not all brushless motors have a start up delay.

[last dragon]

No,but the stigma 5w motor does,just wondering if the same applies to the soldier?
