i don't know how your art looks like since i just randomly found this video, but even if it was immaculate and i'd love it, the sexist stickers on your box would 100% deter me from getting a tattoo from you. yikes. :/
What kind of paper do you run through the Epson printer? I tried using the spirit paper and the epson printer just eats it up and wrinkles it, then I gotta open up the printer and pull it out.
The heavy guide rod holder is for the disposable grips so the balance and weight doesn’t change.hows the brass cam?man I’ve been waiting to hear if they were going to make those.im glad you showed that! I also have both the Ayer and regular. I love them so much man
@@geedickensdamn dude that’s awesome!!! I think it hits perfect for me already but I definitely want to get me some for maybe thick lines. Soon as you pulled it out I was like “please tell me it’s for sell already!!” lol. I love everything this company is doing man. I have the grips and love them too . I don’t even use my bishop wands anymore.well except for the packer on big black areas. I haven’t found a setting that beats it for big black areas but these cams might change that! Dude I love your videos on these machines and the way you describe them! You’re definitely someone I started watching when I first started tattooing! I might take the leap to do this full time soon!
@@grantturner5601 awesome to hear! I’m glad you’re finding this stuff useful I just really enjoy all the machines and company differences . There so much to all of these machines it’s crazy!
***READ*** EVERYONE... You do NOT have to hold the two middle rotation points to switch the throw. You NEED to tighter the grip so that it is tight enough to switch the throw by twisting the grip alone. A LOT of people miss this. It is easily mistaken because it seems like the grip shouldn't go past a certain point. It comes loose in the box. I have been told by two people that there's came without the grip even on it. FOR THIS REASON, it could be, you're machines are wearing to quickly because the mechanical parts aren't completely tight and lined up. Mine still works excellent after a year of use. I have replaced the battery twice. Lithium Ion batteries only have about a 3 to 6 month lifespan on average. That is not to say the battery just dies. It will still take a charge and it will still run. But it will not run anywhere close to full capacity or max voltage/wattage. Now there's a TON of factors that may extend the life and also deplete the life. Read up on the batteries. So... if you are using ANY wireless machine every single day, make sure you pay attention to it and know when to buy a new battery. If you find out the exact specs on the battery output, you can use a test meter to see where it's life stands. For these reason, Mummy and other manufacturers offer the "extra battery package" when you buy it brand new. Regular customer service may not be privy to all these details so it might help to call and speak to an actual technician at Mummy to clear up nay misunderstanding and could help you prolong the life of any machine you have. **Note - The manual that comes with the Machines these days are, most of the time, vague at best. But fear not... we have the internet. BUT, just like in this case, DDT and GEE are also lacking in some information themselves. OR... they may have factory defects. This is NOT a shot at these guys. Just an attempt at heling to clear up these very common widespread misunderstandings.
To get the battery display on the max while charging you plug it in, once it says powerbolt you click the power button once and it will go to the main screen, wait like 15-30 seconds and the screen will go into "sleep" and a big battery appears showing that it is charging. Still can't seem to get mine to last longer than 4 hours though
Hey man I am looking for a 5.0mm stroke and lowest possible voltage wireless machine. Is there any brand that offer such parameters? I am currently using cabled sidewinder on 3-3.5V for my slow stipple work and I am super tired of dealing with the wires. Tried fold pro with 4.2mm stroke and 4.0V which seem "okayish" but it's not perfect. Can you recommend something better? Acus looks promising, but can't afford spending 1k $ to test it out.
Brother u try to many machines pls tell me the truth its really really big deference between dragonhwak machines or ez tattoo machines with fk or bishop or Cheyenne and expensive ones ?
@@user-gc6ix7xw7f bro I got one and it’s great. Works very well, the batery last forever. The only thing I’d like to see improved is the app. It worth it believe me.
Has anyone else had issues with the grip adjustment? The needle is super shallow, even when the grips screwed all the way on it still doesn’t come close to the tip of the barrel. No needle hang possible or even close to it. I’ve tried 3 different cartridges Kwadron, Bishop, and Emalla. All come up short so it feels like I’m riding the tube on line work and pooling ink
Sounds like the push rod on the cam is too short or there was a manufacture error on the grip or threading. Fk irons flux had a similar issue they never fixed until the flux max but this is thr first I'm hearing about it on an acus. Having that issue annoyed me big time send it for service asap . Try one of your other cams that came with it first to see if it's all of them or just one
Currently running the modus neuma 5 as my shader and packer and the macro version as my liner for my go to set up. My Acus isn't getting quite as much use.
@@ColtF2024 the modus with the 3.6mm cam 20% profile was the first set up that I fell in love with. That'll line pretty much anything. I myself prefer the macro version overall just because it has less vibration and less noise than the modus. So I've set up the 4.2 macro as my liner or color packer. And I've set the modus 3.6mm as my shader. The macro version wasn't available when I purchased the modus version.
The macro version runs even more smooth and is even more quiet. Plus you get the added torque. He sent the plastic tops as the stainless top slowly wears and you can get specks of metal inside the machine housing. The thinner spring puts less stress on the motor. Makes it a lil more snappy as well.
So I’m confused, this review says that the new acus has updates, like electronics on the main board, silver motor part, etc, yet the acus website says the only difference between the acus and plus is the size of the grip. Is the newer version not out yet, and if so when will it release?
Cuz there isnt an update to the motor … its the same … they changed just the case and the body from mate to “shiny”…i think here is just a missinformation… or he uses a smaller cam for storke like a 3.7 in the video…
@@reggae8420everything he reads from this 4:41 point onward seems to be minor tweaks and improvements. Nothing major for sure, but if I’m spending that kind of money I’d wanna make sure I’m getting the one with those minor improvements. I’m just curious if all the things he mentioned in the video are for the current acus plus, or something else coming a bit later?
@@ComfyChroma man eitherway you wont regret it ! This machine is a beast for this century ! Smooth perfect like a feather touch! I love it and i cant express this enough, you will see !! All the best man
@@acustattoomachines2072did you really change anything at the motor ? Cuz i really don’t think theres anything changed … he might use a 3.7 cam for the comparison which is quieter …
Great video...I bought an acus 2 months ago and it's really the best machine I've had so far. I just have a question if it's normal for it to get hot while working. I asked the acus guys and they say it's normal. Is that the case and at your place And what do you think about it...thanks in advance, best regards
