My co worker has his a few days too, but isn't getting to grips with it yet for lining - it doesn't help that there is no paperwork explaining what colour wedges are harder or softer - yeah sure you can spend some time "squeezing" them but surely some info would be good.
I was having a good look at it, it's a nicely moulded piece, light ( maybe a little too light for me - big stainless grip then ) runs well too - will have to 'borrow' it soon
Only other gripe - the vice ! Surely a nut pressed into a hexagonal hole in the mould would stop the whole screw turning when tightening the vice - not even holding the screw head with your fingertip stops it turning.
Only a small but important part of a machine.

Weird.. Why wouldn't you use the colors like the rainbow... Instead of a random color order. Originally Posted by elbo

I have 3 egos before they were released and love them for every style of tattooing.. The vise is no biggie for me .. Just hold my finger on the screw head and tighten down on the knob.. I have a slower hand speed .. So the combos I use are yellow/yellow and yellow/green... I am one of the original N2 users so I was delighted to try them out.. I lived the N2's , but hated the compressor !! And travelling with it was a pain...
The Ego is very light weight, easy to tattoo with.. Price is spot on .. And less fatigue on my little hands ..
The problems that ppl listed above are indeed minor & a simple email or call to the Ego team can resolve these tiny issues

Yeah, the pink one from killer ink. I wish I've met more guys from the forum. I've had a drink with Roman from HM, also met Franco Vescovi, (both really down to earth guys, got free t-shirts from both
). At the seminar I've got to know Hewy (hellraiser6662) and Mark (SinnersInk), really nice guys. I had really good time past week. Is good to put a face next to the names we see here every day.
