    I haven't used this machine, but I think the magnetic "dampening system" is sort of incorrectly named. It's really just functioning as a return spring on, say, a vivace or halo or even beast or swiss, that's why you have to take it out when you use carts (just like like removing the stay up spring in these other machines when using carts).
    If you would consider these other machines "dampened", well then, yeah the Valour is too. O

    Or am I missing something completely and it does more than a spring would do?

    Here is a video Tatsoul put on youtube going over the machine. It looks pretty sweet to me.

    I took a look at the Valor machine at the Tat Soul booth. I have to say that while it is a nice looking and running machine. I personally did not like it. The bottom of the machine was a translucent plastic, and to be honest it felt a little cheap to me. I'm sure it is nice to tattoo with, but it was not my cup of tea. The motor has good torque though and it was nearly silent too.

    Same here. It appeared cheap and ran with a fair amount of vibration and noise to me. That's of course just judging it by first impressions and not tattooing with it. It definitely is very small and compact

    I don't own a valor and have not seen one in person but I think I can guess how it works with magnetic dampening. The only way I can see it having magnetic dampening and not just a stay up spring is the slot the bearing is riding in is wider allowing for forward give. So on the upstroke the slider continues to move downward because the slot is wider and therefore the magnet dampens the hit. Kinda like dynamic give. But that's just my guess and I could be completely wrong hahaha. If it don't work that way then it pretty much is just a stay up spring or I too may be completely missing something.

    Looks a nice machime but with all these baddass machines coming out like the centri. Symbeos and all the effort with the way it looks and magnetic dampening youd have thaught it would have at least have a give system. Its just another bishop. Neotat type machine with a needle stabilizer.
