Depends on the machine but in most cases this will be bad for the life of your motor. Some machines are designed to run better in on direction, usually with the motor spinning clockwise. If you use a clip cord most builders have the polarity of the motor marked with the clip cord binding posts.
To clarify when I stated doing it backwards I meant using the long stoke for b&g and the short stroke for solid color where as most people use the long stroke for solid color and the short stroke for b&g. Sorry for the confusion I was tired and didn't fully explain what I was meaning!Quote:

I received my vivace today and love it.I defiantly liking the rotarys.
they do come pre oiled right??? i have been using them for a few weeks and it just occurred to me that it stated about oiling them but not if they came pre-oiled just checking
If it was not lubricated it would be really noisy as soon as you started it up.
nope not noisy at all ! i figured it was oiled but didn't hurt to ask
I have several rotaries now and the Vivace is my "go to" machine for colouring. I've got the 3.5mm stroke and it packs nicely and powerlines great too if i slow my hand down enough. Hands down the smoothest, quietest machine i own. In time i'll probably buy 1 of all the different stroke lengths. Love the needle clip too.
Needle clip does work like a charm! Still my go to machine as well!!!!!!
How do you oil these? Do you just squirt the stuff down the side of the slider?
I have the older neo-tat from eikon and it has an RCA, which is great in theory, but in reality, my rca cord slips off all the time, but i have a green mosnter with an rca cord and it's waaay too tight, how does everyone feel about the rca jack for this new vivace? or does it come with 1/8 plug?
If you contact neotat directly they will tell you which distributor has what connectors for sale. The machine does have the option for the minijack plug.
which connection do most people prefer in the neo tat?
Whatever all your other machines are set up as. :)
clip cord
You can get a clipcord back for your current neotat machine. You can also order a clipcord vivace. If unimax has them in stock you can get it from them. Otherwise I would call neotat directly.
I believe that RCA connectors are better for rotaries. I get smoother power to my machines and it helps prolong the life of the motor. I got my RCA cable from Maplins here in the UK. They fit my Vivace perfectly and they're cheaper than the tattoo suppliers.
I have the same problem with the rca cord slipping off ,but I cut a half sheet of barrier film rap the cord to it an pull my Clipcord covering over the vivace and wrap the other half sheet of film around the machine it holds it.... next one clip cord ..ya might be able to get a clip cord hook up from needlejig too.
You can also use a small piece of conductive tape. I mean really small and just at the bottom of the connector. But be careful as this can get jammed into the cable end if you aren't careful.
is there anyone on here that have the 1/8 mono plug?
I use a metal screw cap solder RCA connector I got from Radio Shack. I found the cheaper non-solder would slip off. These stay on nice!
