So what's the deal with the website they say you get 50 in a box for like 15 bucks????

[joelhague]

Never mind I think I figured it out. So last time I got from ez tattoo they have been pretty damn good I am thinking I may try these elite carts now it's about 15 dollar savings on 7 boxes vs t tech not a huge difference . So it's hard to decide . They do have some sizes I am interested in that t tech doesn't offer

Do they have the little tabs on the inside that hold the mags flat like t tech and Cheyenne

Nope

Hmm ok I am still tempted to order them though even the t tech ones don't hold it that much the hawk ones are the best in that aspect

I don't want to come across as a dick, so please don't take this the wrong way, but if you have an extra $100 to try these out, go for it. It's really not that big of a gamble; if you don't like them, I'm sure you could sell them on this forum. You might take a $50 hit but that's not much considering. I don't know what else to tell ya

I ordered 350 bucks of carts from them of all my favorite sizes 3 and 5 regular tight 9 and 14 medium tight liners 9 , 13,17 curved bug pin mags . using ezcarts round shaders right now to they are equal to t tech I'd say

Been using T-techs and like them, minus their liners. Tried the EZ carts a few months back and even upon visual inspection the quality isn't there, used one and thought they were cheap garbage in my opinion. Just got the elites in the other day and I would say they are pretty comparable with T-Techs. The mags have been working awesome. I did run into one serious issue using one of their liners last night though and it solidified my decision to just stick with traditional needle and tube setup for lining. I was lining a piece with one of their 8RL's and the little internal rubber band/o-ring snapped and the drive bar slammed the needle down so far that the plastic drive pin shot inside the cartridge. I 100% believe that if my reaction time wasn't quick enough, pulling the machine away that the needle would have literally stuck into my client, it shot out that hard. I run my machines slow too, lining at around 7.7 volts or somewhere in there. Never had an issue like that with a T-Tech so definitely something to watch out for and be aware of.

And to clarify, the little black fibers are not on ALL the carts, just about 1 in 4. Which is still not good.
