What triangle setup are you guys using for lining?

My colleague has used blue on the bottom (toward the vice) and yellow in the top with great success.

These little guys are very cool... I only used it a couple times, but tried different setups per tattoo.. I like them.
Especially for lining.. A little slow but very smooth and precise and steady.
I'll be plying with this thing a lot for sure.
The screw and the rubber things popping out is not much of a problem .. I just put a little glue on the head of the screw, and got used to hold the rubber down with my fingers when I change the needles... No biggie .

i dont own one myself, but my coworker just got one. i think he's frustrated with it and i know i would never want one myself by seeing it. the triangles fall out, sounds like a toy, and looks awkward and cheap. but that's just my two cents.

I hope your coworker sticks with it..
These little guys have a lot of potential .
The more I use it the more impressed I am. The inconvenient things become part of their charm.
You just have to use them for a wile to get it . There is a lot to explore and experiment with the little triangles.
Some times I just pick the triangles randomly to see what will happen... And I discover something new. It's fun.

I was at the north lakes convention the other week and alot of artists were using the egos and doing some amazing color work with them. Yes a little bit more noise but putting color in smooth as hell.I spoke to one artist who uses the triangles in a different way to what suggested by bez he has his black triangle on the bottom and yellow on top and it was layering in color easily @ 6 volts and he won best of day Saturday with the piece he did.My only issue was they all had 3 to 4 egos set up obviously with different triangles on for different needle groups that means £880 for 4 machines to save the hassle of changing the triangles everytime u need to switch to different groupings.But as I said they were putting color in smooth as hell so I'm going to try borrow one before I purchase

OR.... grab a mc13 from Dan Kubin and be done with it lol have him make a nut for zero give or use no nut for perfect damp or throw a thick wall silicone nipple on with the loop opened a bit for more give, open more for even more give which seems more consistant then the "slop" give systems as i call them cause it flops up and down imho( hard to explain) and gets real loud but the kubins remain smooth and consistant. No band snaping or ink climbing or spitting, just flawless in my opinion and built solid as fuc$. Cant say enough about dans 13's, i only sell one when i want to try another then i see it dont compare and grab another from dan lol.. Great guy, great service , great machine period....I also think his motors are smoother then maxons or atleast in his machines they are PERFECT and smoother /consistant then my impacts , bishops,halo ect. I even sold halo's, impacts, bizarres ect for crankers cause i love me some dan kubins more then i love meself haha.

Have not tried an ego yet so cant speak on it, sorry but i may have one soon and will write a review then. Sorry i couldnt help more
