    I recommend to anyone getting this machine starting up with the set stroke and try it in several tattoos before machine adjustments. As we consider that the factory setting will suit most artists. Or at least try it good before altering it.

    Also consider that Ttech and Cheyennes needles behave different as they both have different spring compression so the give may have to be adjusted according.

    Regarding lining, you may see better results by adding a bit of give to it (at least that's how I line with ease)

    Should you have any questions feel free to contact us.

    Oh and regarding the adjustable stroke on the fly... Well ...you just give me work to do for the Edge V2

    Don't get me wrong I think it's a top notch machine. Re-reading my post I think I came across as too critical when I really was just trying to share my experiences and see if anybody has any constructive criticisms regarding my technique. If you want me to take down my post I will as I didn't want it to seem like a review more as a comparison to machines I use. Sorry I'm just a VERY particular person. Reading Ray's post I'm going to try it again with a higher voltage. I think I was running mine at around 8.7 Always afraid on new machines of running it too high.

    I think you were referring to me not guatum? I started off using coils but since literally everyone in my shop uses rotaries I practically learned on rotaries. I'd say 90% of my tattooing is done with rotaries.
