Hi Gasghostrider, this is Artemis from Stigma , maybe there is something wrong with the control screw or with the inner spring i am not sure so give me you shipping address and i will send you a new one so you can replace it.
If everything works fine then the v3 is really soft softer than the v2. The motor is the same as in the v2. To get it hit soft you need to unscrew the control screw about 3 turns and work it at 7~ 8 volts,
to run it at low speeds for shading is very important otherways the needle gets to much force ( not good for shading ).
Ok so no needle bar bending? I'm back in work today so I'm going to be hunting for that sweet spot all day if it kills me!
Thanks a lot Artemis, that's a very kind offer and really appreciated. Il try out a few things today and as a last resort il contact you if I can't solve my problem. Thanks again.
I was saying not to bend the needle bar to take care of your grommet shredding problem. Like what's already been said, silicone tubing might help softer things up a little & the silicone won't shred either.Quote:

Now I feel pretty stupid that this is all that the problem was. It seemed the spring wasn't sitting right for whatever reason and as soon as its gone back on properly it's running perfectly. I can't believe I didn't try that sooner, I think I was expecting something more complicated.
i tattooed a black and grey piece and was pretty happy with the results and softness. It definitely made me speed up compared to when I use the dragonfly which is great because I tattoo really slow usually!
Thanks to all your comments and advice, at least now I know if I have a problem in future I just need to look for the simplest problem first or just ask you guys!
