I had a stylus H for a few months and it just wasn't for me. I found the 12v setting rather quickly because of te lethargic motor but at 12v (enough for saturation) the machine just didnt run smooth. The rougher ride at higher volts and the longer stroke just made me work harder to achieve the things that were effortless with my other machines setup with ttechs. I did have to float longer as well and that didn't help for the softer saturated style I tattoo most often. Glad she is working for you though! Mick-
