Spektra Halo feedback thread

[crabink]

It literally has no give lol... i mean the amount of force it takes to get the give to raise even with 4 to 5 full turns out is more force than I would ever use tattooing.. so like I said.. its basically a DD for me.... but that being said.. I like DD machines and the ink flew in.. machine was quiet and smooth..no vibration at all with my steel tubes, 5/8 barell, all surrounded by a fat silicone grenade grip from lucky's tattoo supply.

Since I learned how to use rotaries I don't care to much if a machine has give... too much give like with a Prodigy or Dragonfly can cause float and not enough saturation, but they have a place in an arsenal for sure.

So it's pretty sweet. I plan on using it a lot...

One thing for sure.. this machine is made way better than the Prodigy... that machine has side to side sway on the nipple.. the bolt wasn't secured well and if u hit it, it would come loose... fuck that machine. Had a great give system but that's about it.

really happy with the Halo... colors fast and solid.. i'll post some tat pics when i get a fat piece in the next few days.

I'm sure Gaston has a softer model in the works... If he had a softer model he would have the market sown up... I mean he can make a direct drive if he wants to .. but the Halo hits hard and it pretty much fills that spot in my opinion, plus its adjustable. I don't think to many hard core Halo users open the give at all... or care too lol
