    Plus, I don't think this particular company has anything to do with the ipower power supply that runs off ur phone or iPad. That can get confusing for both companies if they don't have anything to do with one another.

It says it runs for two hours which seems problematic if it's a big piece. As far as it being over complicated, I get what u mean in one aspect but not having to deal with the cord getting tangled, hooked on something, or the foot pedal rolling under ur chair, it would seem to make things less complicated. Over all, yea it could suck donkey dick or b great. Either way, one of the things that makes tattooing fun for me, is trying new products. Even if they suck, atleast u can try something new so shit doesn't get boring. No one says u have to use everything that comes out, but if something can make the job a lil easier, I'm always down to try it. U don't know though unless u try it. Some things that come out r just so beyond pointless n a cash grab in my opinion but something that make tattooing feel even more like drawing, can potentially b cool. If it Works of course.
    That being all said, my wireless foot pedal from critical is one of my favorite things so.. yeah I get ya.

    Critical is hands down not only one if the best power supply companies but one of the best companies overall with customer service and quality. I had the wireless pedal. I really liked it. When the batter started dying though, u had to really hit it hard or in the right spot. It got a lil annoying to me personally. Now I have been using the fk dark lab for almost 3 years now n I have love it.

    I had problems with my pedal - send it to them - got one back that was pretty much brand new, for the cost of shipping. Critical really knows how to do it right. They want to keep their clients.

    My 3 or 4 year old C2xg2 has an issue, its nothing major - they gave me MANY reasonable options for replacement/repair, for the cost of a new one (I wanted the 2 clipcord model) they are sending me a new one - plus totally refurbishing my current one at no extra charge, just have to send it back to them.

    Yea, critical is amazing. The only power supply I have used in the past 10 years or so. Great company.

    I haven't got one, but I asked them how long the batteries last on a single charge and they said between 4-5 hours..... and you get 500 recharge.... I'll wait til it last longer on a single charge and if I get more than 500 recharge.....

    Got it in yesterday and tried it out last night on a small quote that ran along the hairline. Definitely an awesome feeling not dragging wires around. Unit is simple to bag using clip cord sleeves (I get the big roll from Kingpin). Using it is pretty straight forward. Hold the button in to start the machine and push the button twice to change the voltage. I do think a nex generation improvement would be to be able to plug it into your computer and dial in your own voltage ranges you want b/c the lowest it will go is 5 volts and I have used machines before with really fast motors that 5 volts would be flying. So far so good for me though. I use an Inkjecta Flite Nano and the voltage presets on the watch seem to mesh well with it. Will post back some more info after I get put a good, few hour session on it.

    I imagine the funny image of the thing drying out of battery, and then connected to the power cord to the wall from our fckn hands XDDD

    Did a 3hr 48min session with it on Saturday and it only went down 1 bar on the battery level.
