    The new ego

    Just got a email from killerink uk. Bez has now got a new ego for the cart users. Looks like it's uses the flite v2 motor. But here's a pic
    There's nothing on his ego site, which I thought would be updated better than selling straight to killerink. I think there might be carts from Bez on the way to. Once t-tech slaine the dragon of cheyenne everyone jumps on the carts band wagon. .

    Does it line though?! I've switched from sidewinders to an edge x and it just doesn't line as well unfortunately. Generally a great machine all round so I'm sticking with it be interesting to see how well this lines.

    Well if it lines like an ego it will line great. I just hope it's quieter than an ego.

    Not sure if I'm reading that right, £372 and it's plastic?

    It's got a aluminium core ... which mines frame with a plastic cases. But the flite v2 is fully plastic ...

    Ah ok, yeah re read the advert. I've only ever heard bad things about the ego but that was when it first appeared and I've never had one myself. This whole cartridge carry on seems to be taking over, would like to try them but feel like I'm too set in my ways. But that's off topic.

    I had a couple of egos and they were good machines, although a little noisy and toy like. This is an entirely different beast and looks well made, be interesting to hear how it shapes up compared to the edge/hawk/inkjecta
