    "Your killing me Smalls"...The waiting list not being that long is a slight understatement. We have sent out a bunchof machines, and right now we still have just under 100 people on the waiting list. To make matters worse, Every single person that has received their machine has asked for more. We sold 13 machines to just 5 people! We are working on streamlining our production now, so we should be able to get 50 or more machines out the door per day. That won't happen for a few weeks. We're trying to get these out as quick as possible but I'm not going to sacrifice anything to do it.

    The Main draw to the system is this:

    **So why Air?... because air works on pressure. When your powering a machine with air, the instant the needle makes contact with the skin, the needle slows down. The air pressure then has to build enough to be able to puncture the skin. This battle slows the "hit" of the machine to more of a "push". This also allows a smoother feel, and less damage which allows faster healing and a lot of layering. You can also make nemourus passes over the same spot and still cause less damage to the skin. It also hurts less than having a machine "slapping" the needle into the skin. Air also has a "true give". Some machines provide an "artificial give" using springs (which is fine). My only issue with using springs for give is that "all springs" are rated for a certian range of compression force. They are limited to that range for their give. Air doesn't have that range, which allows an "unlimited give" range. The other issue with using springs for "give" is all springs have a "duty cycle". They can be rated for 200k or 500k etc. each time you compress the spring and it returns you have used "one cycle" when 75% of that duty cycle range has been used, the spring starts to die. You may notice in your Rotarys and Coils start to act funny before the springs just don't work anymore and need to be replaced. That's why I don't use any springs in the machine. Now just to clarify, I am not saying springs are bad or Rotarys are bad. I have them and I have used them. There's nothing wrong with a builder using springs in a machine. There are different machine designs for a reason, it allows the users of our creations to have different expierences. Like they say "different strokes for different folks".
