I've actually not had any problems with the Ego's frame and really liked it, but I am definitely looking forward to this new machine.

Wow that is double the price of an ego. Let's hope it is more like 300-350£ Originally Posted by Kyl

I think I'm gonna have to give this a try when it's out... Looks real good and I'm hoping it'll feel that bit more substantial in the hand compared to the Ego.. I really think the 'power triangle' give method is a potential winner..

I saw best yesterday at the tattoo jam and he says there are 3 versions of this, says it's the most powerful rotary made to date, pretty sure he called one an iron man version, wouldn't tell me a price but about 6 weeks for a release date and says they are being tested at the moment. And The ego has one more batch to produce with a different motor.

Well I passed on the original ego because it was weak plastic. Had a poor vice. And had no adjustable stroke.
Any good machine these days should have the adjustable stroke. That being said I will pass on the new ego if it is just one stroke
And stick to my halos. It looks cool but when it comes to rotary its all about the adjustable stroke and hit.
Great eye candy though. Hope Bez made an adjustable stoke.Owner/Artist @ Zodiac Tattoo Studio

Crabink, that's quite a bad generalisation. You can't say a spirit or thunder doesn't tattoo great? They are unadjustable, Also IMO the ego vice is actually the best vice I've used! The plastic was definitely not weak. It grips stainless and plastic amazingly well with no movement. My aluminium vices tend to not grip as well. Especially stainless grips tend to slip on occasions with other vices. It's a real shame if that put you off because the Ego is a great machine.
