New Spektra Halo Power Slider.

[fkirons]

To all Halo owners and potential owners.

So I've been playing around testing different things to make the Halo an even quieter machine, reduce vibration, sound and perform like never before.

After testing thing arounds, I designed a Power Slider that is self lubricant and that can make the machine run smooth as silk with less lubing and better performance overall.

This slider is available in all Halos new colors and is now the Standard for all machines machines.

To all those owners (with proof of purchase!!!!!) we a are glad to upgrade your Halo to this new slider for $25 (shipping included in the US).

All you would have to do is to fill out this form http://www.fkirons.com/shop/service-your-machine
and stick the cash in the box with machine and send along the form.

Then we will ship within 48hrs, regular priority mail.

This Power Slider also makes the Spektra Halo run amazing with Cartridge adaptors.
This slider also changes the sound of the Halo to a smooth humming, virtually silent.

[johndameart]

I will send mine out asap. may even need some tender loving care haha, been using this thing daily. :) also, need to get a cartridge grip off ya

[crabink]

[chris-in-cali]

would be cool to just order the slider...what if for some reason we prefer the old slide.

how hard are they to swap out?

im just curious bro because i only have one halo now and i use it daily...shipping it out for 4-5 days would fuck my schedule all up

Hey Chris, each slide needs to be rectified and fit per each machine we build. Even though all machines look the same, microscopically they are not and the slider and body require tight tolerances. This is why this upgrade is optional. We can sell you all other parts but the slide is the core of the machine and we feel comfortable doing the job ourselves.

I dunno if I can live without my halos.. I guess I'd have to do it one at a time.

How much to Canada ? I can get the US cash

Dear Gaston, what you need proof of purchase? I bought my
Spektra here http://xktattoo.ru/lang/ru/category/tattoo-supply/fallen-kings-irons/spektra-rotary received with the purchase of a machine without a receipt

[mattmillerink]

Hey Gaston. I had sent my halo in for service (I did mention on the work order that I thought there might be a slider problem) right before your Toronto con trip and it was shipped after you guys got back. What's the chance you put the new slider in? I'm hoping I don't have to be without both of my halos next week :o

Please contact Kayleigh at customer service as I don't handle shipping and won't be able to answer your question.

[vodu]

for me it will be a huge problem too, Im waiting already, one and a half month to one machine arrive here, If i service them I´ll be without anything to work...and god knows how many time it takes to have them back...

[fkirons]

We are talking with a very reputable distributor in Brazil. You will have FK Irons and Spektra in your country very soon my friend.

[vodu]

fair price?

I literally just received my new halos in the mail today. Any chance they already have the new slider or am I going to have to send these badboys back without even getting to play with them? I've been dying waiting for them!

In good news everyone doesn't like to do anything without there halos. I'm the same way. Anyway I can hand deliver it if that's okay with you to save time on turn around it's become my go to machine at this point. Every tattoo I do has the halo involved in it.

Purchased mine via Eikon within the last week and a half. Is there a way to use the machine's # on the card inside the box to see if it has the new slider? Thanks.

[JoeyJimz]

but my machine has the new slide is it any differnt?

[serial1313]

I don't think the way that you lube it will change @ all. It has all the same pieces it's just the slider has been improved.

[crabink]

So far the new slider sounds and feels exactly the same to me .... but all three of my Halos run pretty quiet, and sound fine after I lubed them well.
Got a new graphite Halo today and when i went to cut the give spring.. found out it was already shorter... lol good one Gaston... it can still be short IMHO.

Gaston is lubing the new power slider different?

[fkirons]

Hey Crab, Latest machine came with improved Sliders that werent exactly the same but makes the Spektra Really quiet. With this new slider you don't need to lube them as much. If so one drop every 100 hours and re grease every 250 hours. How do you measure that...I don't know lol.
Just do not over lube or you will kill it.

[fkirons]

but my machine has the new slide is it any differnt?
Do not bother the machine for the next 150 hours. One drop only inside the machine, how it shows the video.
If you have any further questions contact us.

[planetearthtattoo]

What happened with the machine you put up on fb yesterday? I can't find the picture anymore. Best regards Jim

[asA]

This seems like a mess trying to figure out have version of the slide you have. I guess if ya missed this version another one will come out next week. Good luck. No wonder every halo runs totally different.

I don't know the why of your bitterness. Last time I checked you have been treated with respect. But as I stated before that this slider was standard in all new color Spektras. If your Spektra machine has no issues no need to upgrade. Please don't mislead.

[asA]

Sorry if that came off as bitter. But 2 years of testing and making a machine.. Then another year of releasing different slides after different slides. If you order more than one machine how could you ever get 2 that run the same. The answere is you don't...

It's the nature of evolution. Look at Microsoft, Apple, ford, an any manufacture that strive to perfect their products. Without going that far. Check out the many tattoo companies that release products and upgrades to their prior version. "A great product is a constant work in progress... (Gaston Siciliano)"
yes it is my own quote :)

[asA]

Good luck man. Have fun with the next version of the slide. :)

The problem for oversea customer is they cant make a upgrade without having the risk to pay tax again and have no machines anymore for work in weeks !!!!
And another problem is you cant sell it anymore without a upgrade,no one will buy it !!!!
I love your machines and the stuff you bring out,my 2 machines runs good for me but if i want to sell it someday i have a problem !

I know what you mean...the custom here in Brazil is a nightmare, sometimes takes 90 days to receive a DVD...I rather buy all the slide/piston set and pay more to just receive at home, because send and wait to come back for me is impossible I could risk lose my machine...If you start to sell all the set I want to buy without even think of it, I´m all halo now, one of the motives is if a motor breaks I can buy another one and wait with the motor of other machine...send one machine for me is the last option...

well i can say atleast gaston is there to make sure a machine is running the way they should and if he makes an upgrade its great bcause that shows me he hasnt just forgot about us (people that own halos) as far as the new slider goes, damn i do see and feel a hell of a diff, i actually can turn the power up and its smoother and much quieter and alot less vibration, so good job and good lookin out bro and not just leaving us stuck on something that can be improved. there is a reason why i have so many halos bcause they real suit me well.
looking forward to more of ur work, and the new grip man great job, cheaper and well built

And that´s gentlemen, is why I wouldn´t give away my halos. Best service without BS. Gaston do something thats already great, becomes even better, without being halo2, halo3, halo4....leave that to microsoft.

[fkirons]

I will put a video out soon on YouTube on how to property fit your slider. I am hoping to find the time this week.
Im glad you like it Richie. All the other 4 Halos went out yesterday.

yes, we didn't have to make our users buy a whole machine to take advantage of an improvement. This is the beauty of the halo. No Screws, no special tools to break it apart.

[PAWNJOB]

I for one was happy to pay the $25 for the upgrade, I think it's reasonable. If it improves the performance of the machine I'll be happy to send it in for any future upgrades às well. I could tell that it made a noticeable difference w/ the noise and vibration. Can't wait to actually tattoo w/ it and write a review!

[PAWNJOB]

I only used it to line three small tattoos but this feels like a whole new machine, much smoother. W/ a 1" SS grip there was no longer any vibration to speak of even at 10v! This is a light weight machine w/ a killer hit so it still vibrates a little too much for my liking when lining w/disposables, but still a big improvement. I'm anxious to try shading at lower volts w/ both 3/4" SS and disposables, I'll keep you posted.

Short Version: the upgrade's worth it

[Scottystyles]

Loving my new ones! I was wondering why they seemed quieter! Haha! I should read this forum more often! Thank you Kayleigh for sending my new ones and making my purchase experience awesome! Love the colours too.. Hahaa not that that makes much difference to its performance.

[johndameart]

So I received my halo back. :)

First things First. it is Definitely Quieter. Im amazed on how much of a difference it made.

The Vibration is so much less as well, me being all Disposable, That makes it a huge plus for sure.
not having to try harder at keeping my hand steadier withe the vibrating with a disposable like most machines.

I have noticed also that when trying to pack color in, it also makes it smoother to do so as well as less harsh

Definitely a Win!

Thanks Gaston and Fk for switching them out!!
