    it's a gimmick. Most of the people will never need to use more than one motor. All these settings, numbers and values are just snake oil. Being able to choose one motor with a specific setting would be more appropriate and if someone wants 6-10 motors on a machine, that's fine too.
    So far, there is no technical advancement, only consumerism.
    What's new to this machine?
    Nothing is new, you have a "lego" like device that implements the same principles already seen on so many machines before.
    The news is that a company with lots of money will make even more money producing machines at an industrial scale.

    The underlying technical advancement is the fact that you can switch out individual parts to tailor it to your style of tattooing. If you buy a machine, don't like it, you gotta buy another one. What if you were asking yourself "if only I can change XXX on this machine than it may just work for me". What machine on the market gives you that option? At least the ability to get different parts to tailor it to your liking is new. I do agree that there is nothing new mechanically in principle. How do you know people will only need one motor? Have you tried all 3 motors? Weird that your first post to this forum is about bashing this machine. Can't knock it till you try it.

    Probably you don't get my point. I'm not bashing anything. It's just my personal opinion about this new aspect of tattoo machine building. Even though it was my first post, I don't feel it was anything rude.

    Apologies, I misunderstood what you were implying. Calling a new product a gimmick and the options it provides, snake oil, came off as bashing to me but I probably misunderstood. I still don't understand what your implying but I'm not bashing you either. Just my own personal opinion also so I apologize if you take my post the wrong way.
