[Ivo Stankov]

Hi guys.I saw few posts about the new Halo 2,and I'm quite interested to try it.Can any of you Halo 2 owners compare it with Edge X or Thunder.How does it run carts,vibration,sound?For the moment i prefer my Thunder a bit more than the Edge.Any opinion would be appreciated.Thanks in advance

I have the edge x and the halo 2 and it runs pretty close to how the edge does, with the exception of being able to use standard needles. it is a very smooth and solid machine with easy to adjust give.

Do you prefer the Halo 2 over the Edge X for carts?

[brandonmull]

I actually love both of them, I can't really say one is better than the other.

bro stick to the thunder until gaston makes the upgrades.8/10 times when a new model comes out after a few months of usage they make upgrades to get rid of bugs.remember halo 1? ...new slide?....

There is a huge different between the Halo1 days and now.

The Halo 1 was out first rotary, we did not have CNC facility in house and we were at the mercy of our engineer and machine shop.
After the Halo1 (4 years later) we've come a long way and learned a lot.

All engineering, prototyping, manufacturing and assembly gets done under one roof. I personally engineer every single part and I tattoo with it.

This machine has been in the works for a while and a group of artists debugged the machine before we went to full production.
Many revisions were made.

But don't take our word for it. There are many Halo2 users out there and swear about this machine.

We will never claim that our product is perfect but that we will provide the best customer service when needed.
We have recently added additional phone lines, multi language chat, and a ticketing repair system.
More additional features are on the way to better assist all of our worldwide customers

When it comes to choice of equipment is just a matter of preference.

Should you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Yeah,true.I use to own some of the very first Edge X.Now my colleague bought an Edge X,and it runs and sounds very very different than mine

I pre-ordered the Halo 2 and got it when it first came out. Aesthetically the machine is flawless. The grommet-less armature clip is cool as well as the needle bar tension wheel. I did notice, however, that doing black and grey with it I had to be really careful to not get any mag marks regardless of voltage or how much or little give was adjusted. This could possibly be that the machine just doesn't suit how I tattoo. I'm using an AXYS direct drive now with carts and flexx bar and it does everything very smooth for me. Shading is very airbrush like. I had a Halo 1 and really liked it though so I dunno.

besides technique it could be a stroke difference or a motor with more torque.it doesnt mean its not as good as your axys or h1 ,you just need a few tattoos to adapt.
