owners of the ego....whatcha think?

[crabink]

I posted a screw swap fix in trouble shooting it's a 6 cent fix for the vice, and it's a great machine. I'm really surprised to hear you say it doesn't have much give Shawn because at 8 volts with a black and yellow triangle setup it's smooth as butter and has alot of give. I actually prefer the black and green or black and purple for color because yellow is to much give to pack for me. I have 2 egos and it's one of the best machines for the money. Yes it has a little buzz to it but nowhere near a coil, it's low vibration, no weight, and can easily keep up with the big boys in the rotary world. Ie: hyper, halo, inkjecta etc.

Honestly it doesn't have that much give...

Thank you... i do enjoy my good humor... I have a moto that I live by. "A punchline can never go unsaid."

Looks like ima have to make a video showing the give...I respectfully disagree Crab. The ego can hit soft and smooth as silk. I will show a comparison video of some other machines with give so everyone can get an idea. I have about 20 hours total with these guys and the more you play with it the more you realize what the ego can really do and that's anything. Stay tuned...

oh i never said it doesn't hit soft and smooth.. i agree.. but its not a real give system like the stigma or halo.... i would say it a top notch dampening system for sure... and yes Bez did jerk off way to much, ruining his wrist forever.

[MickWrath]

I get what your saying but when does dampening become so extreme it turns into give? I know I can mimic my hyper v3 and inkjecta all the way to about one and a half turns out on the give knob almost identical with a black and yellow setup with the ego. It even rockers just like the hyper, and inkjecta...prodigy too. Yes those machines can give even more but I'd be very confident in saying give not dampening when it can do what a "true give system" can do.

There's a bit article on it in NineMag were Bez says the first one was in Aluminium but it cost them something like £1400 and they realized pretty quick they were never going to be able to reach the price point they wanted without switching to plastic.
I swapped mine, but am looking at getting another now. They definitely do everything well, they just aren't as smooth and refined as something like a Halo or dragonfly.

Bez... switch the body to aluminum, figure a way to secure the nipple head in there permanantly and charge 400.00. how fucking hard is that. I would buy it

[(Opted Out)]

Or he could not bother... Keep charging £240 instead of £400 and we can put up with a small amount of vibration from a machine which runs awesome, is lightweight and ORIGINAL! This machine has taken nothing from any other machine its totally bez's own flesh and blood behind it, hes a tattooist and we will support our own. You wana spend £400 on a aluminium machine with a fixed nipple head buy a halo.
