Maybe im off my game, but has anyone had any problems with the newer t-tech carts?

The ones that come in the new packaging with the orange labeled box.

i am having alot of trouble getting them to slide right into their tubes and lock. Seems like they are off somewhere on the twist part of the cart.

Anyone?

Yeah, I had this issue. They wouldn't fit into my grips. I spoke to them about it and was told it was the grips I had and they would send me more grips next time. It is definitely the cartridges tho and I've even had them get stuck in the grips on a few occasions. I now get some paper towel fold it a few times an really twist them to swap cartridges, sometimes I've had to switch out grips which gets annoying. Personally I think they have changed design or something and they are slightly off. The elastic bands on the inside are also different.

ive always had trouble with t-techs being to tight in t-tech grips, but got an rpg grip from gaston and they slide in and out like butter.

I had this happen with 5rl yesterday. I thought I was doing something wrong. I have only been using them for a few weeks. The Cheyenne ones work great and the 9rl t-tech were fine as well. Both t tech needles were bought on the same order.

ya...they had to have changed the design somehow...or ran a batch with a bad mold.
iv'e never had a problem with them until recently......its annoying as fuck having to toss a brand new cart.....

got my new order in today. (the boxes with the orange line on em) I've done two tattoos, used five different needles and all have been fine so far, may have been a bad batch. I have only used them in the durlin rpg grip from fki, and w/my Cheyenne spirit, so not sure how they fit in other grips. but so far so good.

Got the new ttech grips sent through and they now all fit. I think they have adjusted them slightly and these grips seem larger to compensate the slightly bigger cartridges. Only my opinion but new grips are way better.

Yeah, I emailed them explaining and they asked for the cartridge batch number. They looked into my orders and assured me it was the grips. He said to mention next order and he would send 2 new grips for free. They seem loads better. Even feel nicer. Less sharp if that makes sense.
