Tattoo Machine Review|Dan Kubin Sidewinder V6|Fireside Technique ep 36 

u need a camera man that can do a focus correctly man that was painful

Great to see this video, Jake. I use an older Sidewinder after other rotaries & I love the lines I get. I appreciate you taking the time to try some different lines while changing just a few factors, and giving your thoughts. I've found with a proper bend in the needle, stiff nipple & a rubber band I rarely get much spitting, but it certainly seems to be a thing most tattooers wrestle with with this machine. Keep up the great work, I've always loved your channel!

This should be called a first impressions video, since you are still figuring out the machine. I'd say use it daily for a month or so to give us more well rounded feedback.

Nice! Thanx for the info! Always looking for new machines, it's like a painter having a new brush to work with.

Great video and can't wait for a follow up video. This machine seems like it is most talked about one. In regards of spitting I have seen on Dan Kubins Instagram that there are specific ways on bending the the needle and some other little things. Which would be a question if there is a follow up video - considering price and all the little things that seem off standard then would you recommend it and for which type of works. Thank for a great video

Yesss dude liked before watching

Really good review... It worth to be try. Btw this New camera with the lights gives such a hiiiigh quality level. Great choice and awesome detail on the near shots. Keep it UP

Tip for your camera operator. If you struggle with focus control use a higher f-stop. Your using 1.8 or something really shallow and unless your good with a camera you'll find it hard to keep in focus.

Thanks for the review! Very thoughtful and informative, as everything else you do... seeing that you use the pen... Did you try Sol Nova? Saw it at a convention last week and it looks quite promising!

To get it quit you put o rings on the 3 grooves on the armature bar not messing with the impact.

Have you reviewed the Bishop Fantom yet? And what do you think about magnetic operating rotary? Haven't used one yet .... just curious

Love the show....

i run 2 V5's daily for lines and I shade with a Cheyenne hawk now. I'd say it's about time you tried one. Kubins are the best

If I could ever afford one I would buy one for sure

If you do a follow up review, please could you do a comparison on somewhere that is difficult to tattoo of possible? Thanks

What kind of tube tip did you use on this? In the online shop it says use round tip tubes to avoid spitting.

The spit comes from the grommet material and needle shape. The needle eye shape is important. It’s a tricky little bugger but once you dial it in it’s a scalpel!!!! I use it for 3 and 5 rd and don’t use it for its intended purposes and get insanely great results. For context, i was loyal to the coil for 26 years. And I mean LOYAL. This machine changed me

I find putting a single pass line in with the pen is not easy its best for realism. A heavy coil and tube is great for a solid traditional line. Not tried the kubins but think I will in near future.

Hey Jake it's fleet from Australia you need to come down under we love you and what you do any time 😊 welcome

Video is in and out blurr is messing with my eyes.

So I used coils for like 9 years. Switch to a humming bird. It's way better then a coil. So I know humming bird is lower end. But how much of a difference would using a pen or the inkinjecta or this side winder like tattoo machines. I'm a truly missing out? Dont feel like I am. Like I said I did use a COIL FOR FOREVER I might be a little stubborn.

I've had mine for about 6 months now it makes great lines but i cannot get it to stop spitting to save my life any advice? I've tried the bend in the bar, the harder grommets etc nothing seems to work that well. You would think with all the thought that went in to creating such a wonderful machine that this issue would have been fixed or figured out by now but i hear people say this often

Hey man where can I purchase this machine ? 🙏

Six round liner? Who do you get those from? I got a thing about threes and a six round would do wonders for my OCD.

JAKE. To stop the spitting Dan says when putting the needle on the machine do it upside down. So the bar is facing you instead of the traditional way we usually install.

He runs the needle backwards the solder side down I guess it stops the spitting I wonder if it would work the same with a coil machine if it starts to spit just put the needle in backwards it looks like the best rotary I’ve seen in 35 years

Brooo this is really the appt you chose to “test” that machine on?

Trying to pick up a sidewinder but it seems that they are all out of stock.. Do you have any contacts where I can pick one up.. Thank you for your videos

My Xion pen puts in great single pass lines for me.

Off topic but where did you get your hat

Can you review the new Cheyenne solnova

Stroke and pretution are different not the same

Thanks for thr video! But the camera man dont know how to focus 😑

How are you gonna lay your clip cord over a whole roll of barrier film 😦😦😦

Did you just say the Cheyenne is a much nicer sound. 😅

I’m just going to say this u tattooed with that cord bagged then laid it across ur barrier film. The whole roll of barrier is trash.

is your operator stoned?

I am working since 5 years with my V4 sidewinder and this is -don´t take it personal - the must clumsy review I could imagine..

Cant see alot

Rather push my Harley than ride a Honda hated them 25 years ago hate them to this day my tendons are fucked but rather a little pain keep your coil machines tuned up and they will do you well I can’t see spending a ton of money on something like a pen with a racing car motor I don’t think they are a reliable motor 3 or 4 hundred I can get a awesome coil machine I got a guy here in Canada Daniel labonte that I’ve run a few of his machines for a year strait with out touching it and guaranteed for life you can’t get that from all these pen manufacturers if I was going to use a rotary it would be a kubin it’s as close to a coil machine they come I guess I’m stuck in my ways good video also I can’t see buying a cheyanne wen they fuck up you have to send them away or they are not guaranteed for life 800 plus you need ther power supply for the Cheyenne I believe and I’m Canada going to be more than 800 so I’ll stick to good ole coils and fix myself

Soooooooo fucking expensive for the skin stickers but they are worth every penny they last so long my artist has had his v4 sidewinder for over 5 years with little to no tuning

50% of the video's time the camera is OUT OF FOCUS ...!!!!!!
