I should have my centri any day and I'll test it with carts.. it looks like it will take some rigging to make work well with carts.

thank you asa i appreciate it. i guess i should add LOD to that list too. i hate my thunder on boney areas and just feel.like i need give sometimes even tho i tattoo most other areas without

My old lod broke... and he sent me a new one that doesn't line as nice as the old one.. He changed the frequency it operates at... so now it isn't capable of lining with big groupings... it's a bummer. It. Went from my favorite machine to a paper weight.

Hey Joel, if you're working mainly with carts, I'd go with the flite or the Gen 8. I've got a couple of V1 Centri's and, while they can be used with carts, it's not really what they were designed for. The flite was made for carts and the Gen 8 has a plenty powerful enough motor for them. Just my opinion, mind you.

In terms of weight and size, you'll hardly realise you're holding a machine with the FliteV2 whereas the Gen8 is quite sizeable for a rotary and much nearer coil weight. Both machines are very adjustable. The softness achievable with a FliteV2, the 3mm cam and the soft push rod has to be seen to be believed. Put the 4.5mm cam in with the hard push rod and you've got yourself an awesome liner. As you can probably tell, i am a FliteV2 user.

I was a thunder user (had three at some point) but I can say flite is one of the versatile machines out there... If you liked thunder you will love flite even more. Had the Centri first gen, really revolutionary system, but I think with flite is like having more options. I never had the chance to try the gen 8 though

if you runs carts.. don't get the centri gen 2.. its 100% coil style give is not the best for carts..
