what I'm using right now

[asA]

I have 3 of most of these.

[OwlsDen]

Looks expensive! Haha I have been spending money like nobodies business since I have switched to rotaries.

[machineboy80]

treu men but it paids by its self ,,

[asA]

I seem to buy a few a month.... After using only neumas for more than 3/4 of my career, I went from 4 neumas to a drawer full of rotaries. Haha

[asA]

7350my new preciouses(in my Smeagle voice).

[OwlsDen]

Who makes that?

[asA]

Cheyenne Thunder on top. Special techniques on bottom.

[asA]

7476got an email today.... d20 on its way!! So awesome!

[Sage Oz]

I'm amazed by your cool selection of rotaries, I'm looking to get a few of those same choices. How are you digging that Centri? It's pretty much at the top of my wish list...

[asA]

Thanks sage. The centri is nice. It's pretty cool with tons of give. Although I'm kinda digging the no give machines, right now. Seems like I move way faster and am able to still blend a lot with my Cheyenne thunder. It's weird but the Cheyenne machine kinda reminds me of my neumas only better.... So I've been kinda neglecting my other machines.

I've been pretty much the same since switching to the Hawk about a year ago. Even more so now I've got the thunder.
I've streamlined my setup right down, now I only have 9 and 15mags in normal needles, and all my other groupings are cartridges and I love it :)

I bought the hawk and spirit too. should be here soon. hahaha. can't stop buying machines...... saving my dollars for dan kubins and lmg now!!!

I am getting ready to get the thunder this week! Going to start stocking up on cartridges and get rid of most my tubes:) soooo stoked!!!!!

I am getting ready to get the thunder this week! Going to start stocking up on cartridges and get rid of most my tubes:) soooo stoked!!!!! did you get your thunder? how are you liking it so far?

[asA]

7583 soo cool to see the evolution. New stuff erry day.

[G.Graves]

I've have not got the thunder yet, ordering them this week, still doing research:) I know am getting the thunder and spirit together, I want the best of both worlds, doing the same with T-tech cartridges and hawk cartridges. I hear some of the T-tech liners work better. Not sure if I am going to sell my ems 400 and get the P2U power source, or just get the jumper cord. So many decision....lol. So stoked to go hawk though!!!

[asA]

Yeah loving all the Cheyenne stuff. The thunder runs fine with ttech cartridges at lower volts... No need of the startup cable, I haven't found a time where I needed to run the machine under 9 volts yet. I'm thinking of maybe buyin The pu2 but it's hard to wanna replace my ems400.

[asA]

Having the spirit isn't a big necessity the thunder does it all.... Having said that though I bought all 3 just to try them out. Haha. But if money is tight the thunder is all ya really need.

[asA]

8838 got one of these on its way. Pretty excited. Thanks Otto.

ay!! So awesome!this looks like something out of mad max... i love the rawness. is that a metal slide?

[asA]

Yeah metal slide.. real similar to the blitz machine. I'm getting a collar made to fit Cheyenne grips. Gunna be sweet.

[asA]

9279 yay new stuff!!!!! Lmg, thanks Otto. Mini evo, thanks Román. Both super smooth buys. Both machines run like a dream.

[NickTattoo]

hey asa hows the machine working for u ?? i`m working on 2-3 new designs right now .. waiting for some motors :) .. later i`ll post it

[asA]

Still only using it. Lining and shading with Cheyenne and ttech cartridges. It's a great machine. I'd love to see some new ones. I'm digging the look and function of um.

[asA]

9836 amazing all around machines. If you don't already have one you're absolutley silly. Fer real.

[asA]

10048 yay they are a tiny bit noisey but no where near a coil machine. Just tattooed with the Spring give machine a bit. Got a booked day I'm gunna tattoo all day with um. It's hard to put down my nicks rotary but gotta try out the new jams.

[asA]

Oh man got a non adjustable bazooka coming and a matching set of Dan kubins on the way and my second nicks should be here any day. It's going to be like Christmas.

[skinmech]

I have a Bazooka (the nogivemofo), I also have the adjustable Bazooka, and a 4mm adjustable Cranker...Christmas, shit, no far more dramatic.... it will be like the first time you discovered "self love" .;)

[asA]

I will have all 3 bazookas soon(already have the other 2). Haha, i like the spring give one the best so far.

[asA]

I have a Bazooka (the nogivemofo), I also have the adjustable Bazooka, and a 4mm adjustable Cranker...Christmas, shit, no far more dramatic.... it will be like the first time you discovered "self love" .;) hey skinmech do you have a nicks rotary yet. If you think the bazookas hit hard you'll love the nicks. Man that machine is seriously feisty.

[Sage Oz]

Man! I have GOT to get me some of Those!!!(in my best Will Smith voice)

[skinmech]

I just sold a Peter Tiegs...NOTHING....hits as hard as that, well maybe an Angry Boxer on Steroids...Maybe hit Nick up, we were talking yesterday...

[asA]

I just sold a Peter Tiegs...NOTHING....hits as hard as that, well maybe an Angry Boxer on Steroids...Maybe hit Nick up, we were talking yesterday...He is a good guy, and his machines rock.

[asA]

10581 yay new stuff on its way. Dan kubin is a great guy to buy from. Fast and crazy nice!

[asA]

10582oh and why not one of these too. Thanks again Dan kubin.

[asA]

10677Oooh man Dan is fast. What great machines and super easy guy to buy cool shit from

[Bishopbyname]

The man's a legend! I got one of his machines yesterday and used it today. It's a mini cranker set up as a soft shader and it's soooooooooo smooth i could cry at it's beauty. :o

[asA]

I'm excited about the Springer DD. He says it hurts people..a lot!!!.. yes finally all the dumb questions and low ballers get the extra Hurty machine!

[asA]

Oh man I got some special technique custom craziness in the works. Brain Campbell is the man. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

[asA]

11576 3.2mm and 4mm. Just ordered 3.6mm and a few more bodies. Loving the 3.2mm. these machines are nice with the give just barely let out.

[Eturnus]

how is the martini machine?? i have been trying to find users to see how they run.

[asA]

I have 3. They run great! The give is more adjustable than the dragonfly but it's a little louder and has more vibration. All in all I really like mine. I have been setting up my 2 spektras and my martinis if I need more than 2 machines for a tattoo. If ya don't have one I'd say it's worth the buy for sure.

[asA]

12273 yup its pretty christmassy today.

[asA]

12308 spektras came today. Yay.

[chris-in-cali]

holy fuck dude....your worse then my ol lady and her shoe collection...lol...just joshing you bro.
What mm stroke do you use when lining with a halo?

[asA]

I use the 4mm for big groupings. And the 3.2mm does just fine for smaller groupings. They line best with a little give. And I've been using 10 ish volts or more depending.

[fkirons]

damn bro you have more colors than I do. Mine are all black and red lol

[asA]

damn bro you have more colors than I do. Mine are all black and red lol
Haha. Wish I had a gold body. But I think 4 is enough. For now.

[asA]

123551235612357had my whi slightly modified by brian. Pretty excited!

[Eturnus]

Dude you have a lot of machines!

[asA]

But but but, I want them ALL!!!!!

[asA]

12948rotangi in its new home. Great color packer.

[Sage Oz]

Told you that machine is sick. Try it for bold lining sometime @10-11volts ;)

[asA]

It must have a 5mm throw! I'm sure it would bold line like a beast.

[asA]

13229eddie lollis pretty sweet machine. Hits hard and fast.

[asA]

24297 playing tetris with my daily machines.

[Dreviltattoo]

yeah i bring mine home so i'm always playing tetris in my case. when did you get another LOD? You should open a used tattoo gear store. LOL

[Ofeloner]

10581 yay new stuff on its way. Dan kubin is a great guy to buy from. Fast and crazy nice!
Did Dan put the RCA On these?

[asA]

He did on his older machines. He doesn't anymore.
Did Dan put the RCA On these?

[Ofeloner]

Okey dokes,,thanx

[asA]

24297 playing tetris with my daily machines.
I got the 2nd lod in hopes it was similar to my old one that broke... it is similar to the newer one.. it doesn't have the stroke length anymore to push big liners... boo. Both are great shader/colorpackers.

[Dreviltattoo]

Dude if that thing only had a twist grip to manually adjust the hang. the give was so awesome but the hang was like 8 feet. what is that in between the flites? w/ the hawk grip on it?

[asA]

It's an inkjecta specific combo v3. It's pretty neat. It's a bit slow but it tattoos nice if you are patient and don't mind a fair bit of sound.

[Dreviltattoo]

i thought it was a specific but i've never seen one of these versions. the noise would kill me.

[asA]

Yeah we are spoiled... With silent machines... haha even when a cart is a bit loud doing whips I'm like jeeez soo loud!

[Bishopbyname]

Yeah we are spoiled... With silent machines... haha even when a cart is a bit loud doing whips I'm like jeeez soo loud!

Our customers love it! Psychologically they think it hurts less. :confused: The look on their faces when someone starts a coil up is priceless! :eek:

[sacredsouls]

Haha for sure. The acoustics in my shop make sure that the sound of my employees coils come right in my booth. I was tattooing Saturday with my halo and my apprentice fired up her coil and it sounded like a chainsaw. I went to see why the hell it was so loud and in her booth it wasn't super loud. It bounces off the ceiling and right down into my booth amplifying the whole way. HAHAHAHA my client said thank god you don't use one of whatever the hell that is.

I love seeing clients faces when a coil fires up after being tattooed with a near silent rotary like a stylus or neo-tat. Priceless!

[asA]

27040 got all the children together for a Xmas photo.

[cagelavey]

damn asa! I cried a lil when I saw this . how do those davinci rotaries run? ive always wondered. nice collection, can dmn near put someone through college with those machines, lol.

[asA]

I loved my martinis the have a v2 out. I've been slacking on getting one though
. Too many machines out there.. it's almost impossible to buy everything that comes out.

[Tattoo junk]

Asa you know there are doctors out there waiting for you to help you with this!!!

great collection and great short reviews on the machines you showed!!

I think we all know whats waiting for you under that tree...!!!
Merry x-mass

new stuff!!!!
The bellmann is quite and pretty neat engineering. Excited to use it!!!
Ink machines x2 stuff seems legit.. way more torque and less noise. Rps600 seems like a pretty solid power supply too. Let's get some hours on these!!!

[Patrick]

Awesome! I'm curious to hear how they all perform. Keep us posted.

[asA]

Wow, the dragonfly X2 has thunder power with all the adjustable give and stroke you'd ever want!!! Did a full day of effortless tattooing... it did everything I asked of it. So far I get about 5.5 hours of constant run time per Battery. It's easy to bag and the weight of the battery is barely noticeable.

The bellmann machine runs so smooth. I did some fine line work and color blendy stuff with it and was tons of fun! Still amazed at the way the adjustable stroke works on this machine.

Both machines are defiantly keepers.

Are you using these with traditional or cartridge needles?

[asA]

Carts Only. I haven't used a standard needle in years.

[cagelavey]

.....

[cagelavey]

How does that bellman run?

[asA]

The bellman is smooth and punchy. It has a real different feel to it. The give works great and the adjustable stroke is pretty genius. I've done a few tattoos with it with great success. I just can't put my dragonfly x2 down right now so it's not getting as much use as it should.

[evol777]

I'd like to hear more about the dragonfly x2 and a comparison with its predecessor, other than the fact that it has more power. - Thanks!

[asA]

More power, adjustable stroke, better give knob with less chatter, easily removable stay up spring and then just a few cosmetic changes like a cover over the motor/excenter. It pushes carts really nice. And with the wireless battery option it gives you freedom to move around... good stuff.

[asA]

28247 recent machines. Loving all these but the scribe takes the cake right now. Just got the lmg from Otto today I'll run it tomorrow I'm sure it'll tattoo amazing.

[thesmokingmirror]

What do you think of the Axys?

[asA]

It's a great machine..especially if you have the flite bars already it's crazy versitile, the motor in it has a gaint range. All the torque you'd want and can run fast and smooth. For the price it's worth every penny.

[darkness]

can you write some about the machine from daza ? i have a older model and love it but thinking to get a new one from him

[asA]

29155 ordered a bunch of ez carts and got their machine.. it's actually pretty solid no frills machine.
Immortal inovations machine runs like a flite v2 with a hard bar, only smaller and with less vibration because of the large heavy grip. The depth adjustment on the grip is super smooth and easy to adjust through the bag.
Cheyenne pen is so good, it lines packs and shades with ease. Basically a thunder in a pen form. And you honestly don't notice the little bit of shorter stroke.
Centri evader, if you're looking for a machine that hits hard off the tips for lining and bogs down and runs soft for shading this machine is amazing. This has all the good stuff from the cobra but with a harder more consistent hit. I'm going to be using the evader a ton!!!

[Patrick]

Dude... The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem :)
Side note, I am super jealous of your collection.

[asA]

Haha patrick I know i have a problem. But I wanna collect them all... you might just have a problem too though, your collection is pretty sweet to.

[asA]

29280 new stuff.. ez pen. I didn't realize it was going to be pretty much a 90% copy of the cheyenne pen... but it is and it works super sweet actually.
Rougetattoo 3d printed prototype. Runs solid aND fast... I expected it to be loud and rattly but it's smooth and quiet.
Electrum 3d printed machine. Super power full will push whatever.
Stigma fly. Had to finally get oe of these. The machine that started the motor bolt system. The give on this machine is sweet. I like it better than the prodigy and this generation of Stigma machines. It's a bummer thsee machines were around for such a short time.
Welker man these things are great. I'm super impressed. More people should be rocking these.
Ego r12 like a flite v2.1 but maybe a better give system. Same motor I belive. Digging it.

[acink]

Hi asA have you run a cheyenne pen as well to compare the two machines would be very interested to hear, also what is the grip made of that holds the cartridges will it hold up to consent changing of cartridges also what is the length of stroke does the machine stats say you can achieve,Be interested to hear a small review on the ez pen say quite a few more could be interested to hear your take on the over all machine build quality, materials used to build and if it only suits EZ certs cheers for posting asA looking forward to hearing a little review.:rolleyes:

[asA]

I have a cheyenne pen also. The Ez pen in as near to the cheyenne pen as you could imagine. It hits just the same. As far as I know it has the same stroke. Biggest diffrence is the tapered grip and the DC plug on the back. The build construction is really really nice it doesn't feel cheap, it's actually pretty crazy it's only 220$ because it feels just as nice as the cheyenne pen.

Having said all that I'm pretty bummed it's just a dirrect copy of the cheyenne pen. I was hoping for something diffrent, something unique to the ez pen.

[Invertedpixel]

I tried the Cheyene pen the other day, I really really wanted to like it, but I couldn't find gip it comfortably. It seemed like too much of the cart stuck out past the grip. Usually I run a Swashdrive compact so it's probably just my muscle memory messing with me. I do want to try it again and see what my problem is, because the machine seems wonderful.

[thesmokingmirror]

I dont think that EZ pen has the same motor as the hawk pen. For how well you say it works tho and the price I might have to pick one up as a backup

[darkness]

the ez pen have the same motor - have look inside :D and yes asa i have buy a welker too and be very very impressed. I love this machine. I have try the new John Clark -they run very nice too but they dont go slow like the old faulhaber version. Its runs always very fast and hard. My wire was broken as i get the parcel but i notice some high quality home video cables or every 3 pole / 4 pole home cinema wire is running the machine very nice and with less weight from the wire.

[DougHardy]

Say asA - can the grip simply be unscrewed and autoclaved on that EZ Pen? I've noticed that unfortunately no one seems to sell separate grips for these things so you can purchase them separately. Also, is it a no-give type unit?

Yeah no give, also no extra grips for sale as of yet... they said there maybe disposable grips in the near future. The grip that comes with it is exactly like the hawk pen, except it seems like it may have some kind of coating to make it hold up better to autoclaving.

Dang, that looks tiny! Let us know how you like it.

Nice! Just looking at these last night..looking forward to your thoughts.

29810Had to post my collection, they look to good all together to not share. I've bought and tried many different machines, these are my daily drivers. Except the last three coils machines I decided to keep just as a reminder of how it all began. Only machines I plan on adding now is an Evader, a Dan Kubin Sidecranker and the new FK direkt when it is released. Thanks for looking

[brimstonesix]

is the ez pen less in quality???


Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
I bought an EZ pen a while back,it is quality and works well,that being said I recently bought a Hawk pen and can now compare the two. The Hawks grip screws on and off a bit stiffer than the EZ,it also seems lighter but I haven't weighed them to verify. The Hawks Faulhaber motor has more torque and runs faster it seems,the Hawk simply works a bit better and faster. Now this is operating either and 10v,next time I use the EZ pen I'll bump it up to say 11 or 12 and see if that bridges the performance gap. I'd say they're both great and both work,slight edge to the Hawk pen though despite the price.

[joelhague]

How about the stroke do you think the hawk pen is longer than ez by a bit ? Gone back to my thunder last few days still my fave

[brimstonesix]

How about the stroke do you think the hawk pen is longer than ez by a bit ? Gone back to my thunder last few days still my fave
They are both supposed to have the same 3.5mm stroke,as far as I can tell that's correct. The performance between the two is pretty similar,I think if the EZ pen had a Maxon or Faulhaber motor it would perform exactly the same. If you have the extra cash get the Hawk but the EZ pen is no slouch and will do the job just fine. I've had the opportunity to see a few tattoos heal from start to finish with the EZ and everything heals smoothly and quickly,barely flaking at all.

[joelhague]

Thank you for the info man I agree they are amazing little machines totally worth the money.

[brimstonesix]

Thank you for the info man I agree they are amazing little machines totally worth the money.
No problem,I think even thought the EZ is a knockoff ,the Hawk is a knockoff as well so it's not really an issue. I think the EZ people should up the price just a tad and use a nicer motor and they would have a real contender. That being said I don't think the Hawk is worth $400 more,they're gouging a bit but it is a good machine and lines and shades flawlessly. My client said that the EZ pen hurt less FWIW.

[onechance]

hey asa what witch one would you prefer edge x or stigma prodigy v2????

[darkness]

for shading the prodigy v2 is the best - similar to the dragonfly x2 / the edge x is more hart and better for colorpacking and lining ,but some prefer a more hart machine for shading too. So its not easy to choose. Its more preference and the own style. When you like to shade and color with the thunder i would go with edgex - when you more on the give site and love to work with the spirit its the prodigy v2. When you knowing the dragonfly x2 so you knowing how the prodigy is working
