I have a Spektra. It started slowing down while I was using it. It was still under warranty so I sent it back to Killer ink. Apparently the diaphragm on a cartridge had split allowing fluid into the machine. This voided the warranty so it cost me £200 for the repair. Approximately a month later it did the same thing again. Considering the cost of the machine I am not at all impressed with it. I’ve now given up on it and thrown it in a draw. Over £1000 and I got about six months use out of it.
I am strongly considering in purchasing and FK Irons Flux Max, however kind of in between the 3.2 & 4.0, which would you recommend me and my anticipated thanks...
@@geedickens Thank you so much, for the piece of advice. I can tell you are a very experienced tattoo artist. You definitely have got me following you on your channel.
Its really some diferences inside the machines of fk irons,flux,exo,max, or is just design ,because if you can use the 3 bateries and the 3 grips in all what's the point ...
So I currently have the flux chromium out of all of those machines if you were to buy another one like I’m anticipating on doing which one would you buy?
Have you been able to ivestigate the battey issue of flux max? Are they still lasting shorter than the exo batteries? I have exo 4.0 and i am thinking of switching to flux max, do you recommend it? The battery issue is confusing my mind
Check out the fk irons website Or the dark labs website . Also other tattoo supply store such as King pin, ultimate tattoo supply and tat soul sometimes have discounts 😀
They actually drain in travel mode as well I have 4 different bolts and they all do this kind of a joke for such an expensive product this doesn't happen with my critical batteries or even other cheaper ones as bad as on the fks , love my flux a lot want a flux max but damn figure out this battery drain stuff already fk the competitors don't have this issue nearly as bad , also it's not like it's dead in a month it's more like a week if that
Very expensive! That’s odd, I’ve had pretty good luck in travel modes during traveling for conventions, and the batteries are still full when I get to the destination. I’ll be in wheeling West Virginia this weekend at resurrection island I’ll post the videos this week from there!
Most probably those batteries are defectives (something pretty common - I know people in the factory down in Miami), I'd suggest you call customer service and if no respond (also pretty common) I'll provide you with contact direct to the right people.
@@joeromero8123 nah dude an original power bolt , a lightning bolt uni , a power bolt plus , a xion lightning bolt , all purchased at different times, all the same , odds are very low all are defective in the same way they perform just fine they just drain to easy when left sitting two are on the latest firmware 73 and two are on 72 its just an issue with fk batteries they are fine for a couple days in non travel mode but fully disconnected in travel mode they will die after maybe a week and a half where as other batteries I have left sitting much longer that still have jucie left after even a month of sitting (critical connect and bishop B charged v2 ) also they are all used on the official dark lab charger cord and brick. They work as they should it just blows my mind these have issues like this being some of the most expensive batteries on the market. They perform just fine if you charge after every session I was just shocked when I put a few in travel mode then when I boot em back up later I'm like why the hell are these flashing red now after like 2 weeks tops I've left the b charged v2 for over a month and it's dropped a couple percent and didn't have to do any dumb 10 second shut down method
What voltage are you using for the flux max if you don’t mind me asking? And do you use give? I feel like voltage changes and switching from give to no give drains the battery faster for me🫥
