FK Irons EXO Tattoo Machine | Wired or Wireless | Review, Setup & Unboxing 

Which stoke and why is it the best

Is the machine loud?

Hey man I never work with this Machine I just ordered it. I mainly do black ngrey work. Would you say it’s a good machine for that?

Why do you have so many machines bro i get you just explained it but did you originally buy them for that reason ?

Such a great machine! ⚡

The Xion is a different mechanism, but the 3.2mm stroke wheel fitted and the give dial gives you an option for smooth shading 🙌

Hi Chris, yes you could use Critical batteries via the RCA connection, but the PowerBolt would have a better fit on the machine thanks to its design.

Hey! It can be used fresh out of the box, however for a longer battery life, charge it for a couple of hours first 😊

Hi, it depends on your tattooing style and way of working, but generally speaking, the 3.5 mm stroke is an all-rounder and the 4.0 mm is best for lining.

Hey, depending on your preference, we would say the 2.5 mm or the 3.2 mm would be ideal for whipshading 😊

Hey! the 4mm may be your better option 😊

Thank you so much for your reply 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey, the manual advises that the EXO is sold pre-lubricated from the factory and does not require internal lubrication. Do not lubricate machine unless instructed otherwise 😊

Hey Veljan, it certainly is! We will also be selling the Powerbolt II very soon.

Hi, the 4.0 mm stroke length version will your best bet. Stroke length preferences vary from artist to artist, but the longer stroke lengths tend to be more popular for lining.

Hi Daniel, different artists prefer different strokes, but generally 4 mm is good for colour work.

Hey Karlo, stroke length various from person to person, however you may feel 4mm is more suitable for your style, especially for packing!

@@KillerInkTattooEU thx but is 4mm to much for micro (1RL)

💯 agree

Hi Shelby, it depends on your stroke length preferences. The Spektra Flux has a fixed stroke length of 4.0 mm, whereas the FK Irons EXO is available with 2.5, 3.2 or 4.0 mm strokes.

Hi Daniel, the EXO will take up to 2 hours to fully charge.

Hi Josh, yes the FK Irons EXO is good for black and grey work. Depending how you work, you may prefer the shorter 2.5 or 3.2 stroke lengths.

@@KillerInkTattooEU thank you!! I got my exo yesterday and it’s definitely a game changer, I’m not a huge fan of Fk irons but the exo is a solid machine

@@Tattoosbyjosh1 which stroke and for what time of work. Do you line with?

@@learnthrivecompassion422 hey what’s up bro, honestly I sold the exo asap, I let the hype get to me, but anyway honestly my favorite liner is probably the edge x from Fk iron or a right stuff rotary reverse, I mainly do realism and my go to machine is inkjecta nano elite, but I’ll say the exo was one of the worst machines I’ve ever used for b&g but that’s just my opinion

Hi Holly, longer stroke lengths are usually preferred for colour packing, so the 4 mm option would probably be best for you.

Hi, although the EXO is particularly suited for colour packing, you may prefer a longer stroke length of 4.0 mm if you are looking to use it for lining. As always though, stroke length comes down to personal preference.

Hi, we cover this in our Darklab App & eGive video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mJupFULKWI4.html

Hi Jose, while it may be suitable for realism, the EXO is particularly suited to lining, colour packing and solid colour work.

@@KillerInkTattooEU everytime i read your comment i hear you inside my head.🤯

@@KillerInkTattooEU depends on the stroke isn't it ? 3,2 must be good for B&G

@@julienboireau Hi Julien, yes the 2.5 and 3.2 are good for black and grey work, but it can vary from artist to artist.

They are pretty much the same machine internally. Only difference is the grip, flux has 33mm and exo is 40mm.

Hi, unfortunately the DarkLab Lightning Bolt does not fit onto the FK Irons EXO.

I easily get 6-7 without mine dying

Hi Chris, yes you could use Critical batteries via the RCA connection, but the PowerBolt would have a better fit on the machine thanks to its design.
