Cool idea....sure
Id be down to go in to get a few boxes of 1" if you end up getting a case.
I talked with my guy last night and he said the tips were removable but I'm glad you posted this because I didn't believe him (he just wants to make the sale and will say anything)..they are sending me samples ( I had to buy other things from them to get the samples)....
They look nice. I wouldn't mind getting when they're released.
I went over to DPS and chino gave me a liner and 9 mag tube.. they work very nice. they copied the sure glide and the hawk but still a nice disposable, just not very cost effective
VAGABOND JAY
used a 13 mag tube today...... well, tried to anyway. the tube is too long for my dragonfly and vivace. also noticed the built-in needle runners were bending one of the top outside needles. looks like it should work on the rotary works and coils though.
count me innn for that plz
got my samples in today and there's some good news and some not-so-good news...first the good news (sorta)..the tips are removable from the disposable tube and T-tech and hawk tips fit the tube. well, they fit the 3/4" tubes perfectly, the 1" tubes will also work but you can over turn the T-tech tip and it will loosen up but just on the 1" grip...if you tighten the tip til it locks and leave it alone it will work fine, but if you keep twisting the tip past the grab, it will loosen up..
now the not-so-good-news....the T-tech drive bar doesn't fit the tube. the inside diameter of the tube is too narrow for the plastic bulb on the end of the T-tech drive bar. I took a dremel and ground down that plastic part on an extra drive bar I had and it worked just fine..
I'm off from work until friday so I haven't been able to test it in a real tattooing situation yet, but I ran it on a machine I keep at home and it seems to work fine (see picture)
(sorry for the crappy pic, my camera is in the shop so I took a quick cellphone pic)

Still could be good with a little work.
