[@omagnomusic]

thank u bro, just got the m1 as my first tattoo machine ever, i will learn and make my first money tattooing with it, and you help me make my decision. thank u

[@tedankouil2356]

I was thinking the same I’m between unlimited and acus m1 and I don’t know what to buy

[@bullsheeptattoo]

Acus m1 all the way! I got mine since they started to sell it to the public and a still love it over all the others. Incredible machine!! BTW the stroke cams avaiable for M1 are, 3mm, 3.7mm, 4.1mm, 4.5mm and 5mm.

[@fredfab8820]

And the 2.5 mm will come soon!

[@fredfab8820]

What is your favorite allrounder cam? 3.7 or 4.1mm?

[@joshuavalenciano4728]

I can honestly careless about all of the digital stuff and based off of yours and a few others reviews, I’ve gotten the FK One in the last month and a half and just ordered the Acus M1 Ayre version on thanksgiving.. Waiting for it to ship🤙🏽

[@zacpedrosa1203]

I got the acus m1 plus and fell in love with the machine great machine legit best machine does everything ❤❤❤❤

[@jaygibson6217]

If you had to choose between an Fk 1 or an axys Valhalla which would you pick? For cordless.

[@joshuavalenciano4728]

The Valhalla is stroke adjustable so that’s the main benefit.. I have an FK One at 4.0 mm stroke and it’s an amazing machine for the price.. I’ve been able to do everything with it so far.. I just ordered the Acus M1 Ayre version just the other day and can’t wait to try it out

[@ExpeditionHawk]

soooo. when do we see the new vs used video for the acus

[@geedickens]

Let me talk to my editor about making this happen.

[@fennomenaltattoos8799]

Do you use the flux max still

[@geedickens]

Just uploaded a Flux Max vs Bishop Power Wand Shader.

[@Inkeasy]

I just got the fk one and it feels alittle heavy. Can you tell me if the sol unlimited or the acus m1 is any lighter or heavier than the fk. I hear the bishop wand is the lightest. Thanks!

[@AndrueSOCAL]

18650 are the best battery it reminds me of mech mods

[@colbylaband9397]

I got the m1 mostly because of you I believe

[@geedickens]

Thank you!

Sponsorsships are amazing if presented, but sacrificing the integrity of unbiased opinions would be a tough choice to make.

@@geedickens very true, people want real unbiased opinions and news

[@Hidden_Leafs7th]

Have you considered reviewing the Bishop power wand, I know it’s a bit pricey but the Bishop Packer is an all in one machine I’ve heard. I’m just curious of what your thoughts are on it.

[@geedickens]

I have reviewed and have all three Shader Packer Liner All in power wand also OG wands

[@Highfrequencyink]

Is the motors from the flux and eco compatible with the fk One?

[@Highfrequencyink]

Exo

[@geedickens]

Honestly I have yet to crack into a exo, but I’m sure it’s the same!

[@x_z0mb1_x]

The wand packer impresses me more and more everytime I use it. I also want an acus m1. I have found it really hard to find a new favorite machine since the xion. And I've tried almost them all , flux, unlimited, cobra , neuma 4. And a lot of others. I put a 3.5 stroke on my packer and use it with a critical shorty and it's hard to put down.

[@del8044]

How did you put a 3.5 stoke in? You brought the shader as well?

[@x_z0mb1_x]

@del8044 you can use the bishop phantom or peak solice cams. There is a video somewhere on KZbin about it

[@chefkenburnem211]

​@@x_z0mb1_xso you changed the stroke in the packer?

[@geedickens]

They are all good option! It’s crazy the quality all these companies are able to produce

[@alquetatuabienlevabien]

Yes will the packer do the work but after 8 hours of lining or anything you tattoo long sessions if you try acus you never felt the pain on the hands and the motor on the packer is on the top so then the acus really help with any pain on hands and arms you can tattoo even if you are on a hard position from you complete body the motor don’t feel on the machine cuz iis the like the perfect place on the bottom of the pen…acus is the best machine just for that then is like 32 machines on one machine 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 no one can beat it…. Then this can sterelize in an autoclave as unique machine in the world can dot da …. Trust me is the best ….. now I can do Tatto Sesions like never cuz I don’t feel more a pain on my body after using acus is just a perfect machine on anything you think ….. I have alll the cams availables until today … trust me is the fastest for anything

[@panpier1982]

Hey Gee, I find your reviews very helpful at this point where I am deciding of buying a new machine! I do a lot of stippling/pepper shading so I like a machine that has enough torque and can go at a low stitch frequency. Do you think the acus m1 plus is efficient for that or does it fall more in the greywash techniques?

[@geedickens]

You 100% can set the M1 to accomplish any stable of tattooing.

[@LeroyMustang]

I’m a little confused I guess. Everyone who recommends the Acus mentions versatility BUT, I don’t want too many options unless it tattoos the best. Does it line or pack color the best? Ironically someone mentioned the 3.7mm Xion above. This seamed like an almost magic sweetspot when I used it, the spongy driver/spring thing that would happen after a year wasn’t ok. So, does the Acus tattoo better? Or is it just more versatile?

[@geedickens]

You can set the machine up to do anything you want it too

[@geedickens]

I would say versatility is a user quality, useability you can accomplish more with one machine, by it offering more setting, cams, and ability to take it part to clean then any other tattoo machine current I do enjoy the xion , I have three of them great machines!

[@LeroyMustang]

@@geedickens I gotcha, so when set up like a 4.0mm color packer is it the best at doing that? Compared to say Cheyenne/Bishop/Fk irons?

[@erkannehir2412]

If a tattoo machine company makes 3 different machines as liner, packer, and shader it’s just to sell more machines. Doesn’t even make sense…

[@JosueTattoo]

Bro why did no one ask you wtf is up on the top drawer 😂😂😂

[@geedickens]

Hahaha right

[@Steiner920]

If u don’t care about the other two do u wanna sell me the fk one or sol nova? And yes I’m serious. Let me know.

[@TreJohnson561]

Sell me your fk one

[@geedickens]

😂

[@TreJohnson561]

@geedickens come on bruh I know you not using it

[@geedickens]

I actually use the FK one quite often to be honest.
