Anyone tried EZ pen?

[tat2stave]

Yeah I got one and it's pretty sweet. Hits solid, runs smooth. I'd guesstimate a 4.2mm stroke.
As for maintenance, They glue/thread lock the shit outta the thing, so a real bitch to disassemble.
Wrap the hell outta the colored part and middle body with masking tape and visegrips did it for me.
If you're ballsy you could warm it with a flame to soften the locktite.

I just got one last night, just by running it the stroke seems to be shorter than a 3.5 to me for some reason, I guess I'm so use to the hawk thunder. But seems ok,will try it out today on a few tattoos and see how good it is.

Ya I dunno what model that guy got with the 4.2 maybe a mix up mine is also shorter than 3.5 its like 3mm . its made me use less hang for working witch is sort of better I look at ez pen like the set it and forget it infomercial loll it works great just have to get used to lining better for fine line work but it did push my 14rl with a little nore of a tube riding technique . this machine really excellls at smooth shading it is so buttery smooth for shading its awesome . better blends I have noticed as well. Packs fast and smooth . better heals less trauma .

What volts are you running at? I use it at around 8-9v. I have a 3.5mm bishop and infinite irons and definitely a longer stroke than those.
I'd like to get my hands on a shorter stroke one too though.
I wonder if it's just luck of the draw. no two are quite the same kinda deal?

It runs more quiet then my thunder and that is saying a lot as it is the most quiet rotary I haver ever used

they also EZ-HKSP Hawk Style Pen too..

anyone have used?

[Leroy]

Thanks guys... Jeez I tried everything except the vice grips and heating... won't come off. I guess I'll just need to try some stronger measures but I'm guessing the company doesn't suggest lubricating because it shouldn't need it like Cheyenne????

Any ideas on maintenance folks?

Also the different machine colors different throw lengths?? This company makes great machines but the documentation is horrid I wonder if we could find the Chinese website and translate...

i've seen some super nice results with the EZ-pen search 'cam lamley' i believe he is using the new EZ pen and tattoos well

[joelhague]

I'd trade you I want a longer stroke . mine comes apart now to re lube or clean all throughout I did scratch the shit out of it doing so though haha have it wrapped in one wrap of electrical tape to cover my mess Lol. Works great tho but ya mine is 3 mm stroke for sure
