    So, what do you use the swash for that you don't use the other machines for? Does it have a 'specialty' in your book?

    Everything as the Gen 7 has a softer hit than the original Gen 6 but I use a Neo 2.5 for most of my lining except feet and neck I use the Gen 7 so i dont get too much penetration...

    I just bought mine and must say i like how smooth it runs, but am still adjusting to it. Our shop has used nothing but coils and i wanted to break out of the mold. Which clips do you use and for what? Did you have to adjust your technique from coils? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    i use a gen 1 and a prototype swash for all my large scale japanese work. use my gen 6 for tribal stuff.
    i wont line or do black and grey with em, and tend to only use them for larger scale work where the
    weight is a real benefit.
