I just received the tattoo machine and would like to share some initial impressions (photos will follow after the first use). The machine is well-made, the screen is large and easy to read, it features a dot-work mode, and it is very powerful and reliable. It is a bit heavy, but very well-balanced; at 220g, it would be ideal if it were slightly lighter. The motor is very powerful, just like the Solnova V2. The change in stroke length is clearly noticeable; this is the only Chinese machine where I can so clearly distinguish between the 2.8mm and 4.2mm strokes. The motor is coreless—not brushless, as some manufacturers and the EZ website claim. However, I’m not sure about the RPM—is it 10,000 or 9,000? I am very curious to see how long it lasts and how the tattoos heal. Photos will follow after my first tattoo. Until then, I’m giving it 4 stars. 4stars because is heavy.
