@swierzytattoo2 жыл бұрын
In the daily use which machine do you find more comfortable to work with is it the Flux or exo? I know that that the exo is built to have a better ergonomic and a different weight balance than the flux. But practically it could be different. Otherwise the 4mm stroke should performs equally on both machines. Everyone would have different opinions what suits better in the hand but I haven’t haven’t hold one of them before. Also what Maschine is practically better and easier to wrap/cover in your opinion?
@ThatTattooShow2 жыл бұрын
Good question. I have found that the standard 33mm grip is more comfortable for line work. Although that’s more of a personally preference. Wrapping wise they are both the same tbh. I don’t change how I wrap them because one of the grips is larger etc.
@gabrielarocha65073 жыл бұрын
in your opinion compared to a Cheyenne unlimited 3.5 how's the 2.5 exo? even softer? got to run it faster? im more into black and gray realism and micro realism love the videos thanks a lot for doing this
@ThatTattooShow3 жыл бұрын
It’s softer yes, depending on how you tattoo and what effect you want to achieve etc then voltage will vary. I run mine between 6v and 8v depending on what I’m doing. If I’m doing detailed stuff I run it slower. Hope that answers your question. appreciate the comment :)

@@ThatTattooShow i was really hoping it to be more of a difference, theyre good machines! I wish they had a 3,7 stroke that would be perfect! Im thinking about trying the stigma force
@ThatTattooShow3 жыл бұрын
Tbh I think 3.7 is to close to 4.0 for there to be much of a difference. Having the shorter stroke works much better for being able to layer colour without causing to much irritation to the skin and for slowing you to create a lot smoother black and grey more efficiently. Don’t get me wrong I can get smooth b&g with a flux 4.0 but it’s far more efficient using that shorter stroke and give a nicer effect in my opinion.

@@ThatTattooShow yeah true it would be very close that stroke but it still would hit a little different like the xion 3,7 !

Hey brother. Love your videos! So I have had the Flux since it came out. Love everything about it. I’m looking to buy a back up, slighter different machine and I have my eyes on this bad boy.

I’d love your thoughts on this my friend? I’m totally sold on FK Irons now just per the flux, and the E give option is a game changer. Thanx again bro!

The 4.0 you can get soft shading if using the right technique and needles etc. But the shorter stroke will be better and more efficient.
