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)
