Or am I just wishful thinking? Haha Mick-
    I wouldnt mind the non adjustable. Yey mick made a valid point if its tightened is it the same effect. Then if so ill keep rockin the bad boy i got. But if there is a diff the for sure do it homie. And flip a table...

But if you could not get it down to that price point it may very well not sell to well.
    I'd rather have the motor bolt, I think others with halos may like that idea that way we can buy the bodies and use our existing bolts. At 399 for a complete machine I'd be easily good for 2-4 non adjustable bodies lol. I already have 4 adj halos why not if the performance isn't identical and I can benefit from a different style of operation.

    The motorbolt is ONE of the things that made me gain respect for Gaston. I know he has stated that the Vortek will use the same motorbolt. That way we can just buy machine body. I think it makes much more sense to just make non adjustable internals that fit the existing Halo, that way we aren't all out another few thousand dollars each just because someone came up w/ a slightly different idea. I mean does everybody just like to blow 1,000 a year on the same machine called "different"? That is the cool thing about being able to use the same motorbolt, Gaston isn't just making a new machine just to make more money, he is making a new machine that works w/ machines that you already have. Does anybody else think no give internals for the existing makes more sense?

    I don't know if I would want the hassle switching the internals back and forth between tattoos I'd rather just have a non adjustable body or 4 of them for $300 bucks each and swap motor bolts out from my adj halos. Just seems simple, almost too easy lol

    That makes sense, but that is assuming that there is a difference between the adjustable Halo completely tightened & a non adjustable Halo.

    Mick as you have many you could just by a new internal no give slider in throw it in the body you already have if you want one set up that way all the time till you change your mind. Or if you wanted to buy another complete spectra body with the no give slider as a set for your bolts.
    I think this would be the best because fki could invest in the Vortek body and get it out. And still market a hard no give slide option for the spectra body with out loosing its shirt or customer base.

Then everybody is happy, & you only have to create new internals. I know I made that sound much easier than it really is.

    Yep what he said!

    That was my main reasoning behind just making the internals. Being able to change what you have already paid into & the no loss of customer base. If anything Gaston would just be empowering his existing customer base & have them singing his praises even more.
